Re: JK Headlight Upgrade Install Question

I am waiting on the conversion wiring harness but wanted to test fit them anyway. I can't tell if I need to do some trimming or just mess with them alittle long to make them fit well.

They fit right in the stock location. I have 2 extra sets with adapters that I bought a few years ago.

I'm sure there are a few people that don't have a clue what you are talking about so here is a post I posted back in 2008.

I used Jeep Wrangler headlights in my '67 Panel Truck. Jeep JK Wrangler headlights are a direct bolt in swap for the old sealed beam headlights in our trucks. They even have the 3 lugs on the back for alignment and use the stock '67-'72 trim rings. The headlights have more dome to the lense than the originals. I went ahead and bought the headlight conversion pigtails for the swap too.

I bought both on e-Bay. The headlights I bought were from a private seller that changed his over to something different. They are in excellent condition. You have to be careful because there are a lot of look alikes. They do make exact replacements too but you have to watch, some of them come with bulbs and some don't. The easy way to tell the OEM's are by the back. I think the lights are the same from 2007-2015.

Here are the pigtails.

I also installed the headlight relay upgrade. Both made a difference on nighttime visibility....
