I also wanna see a picture straight on of your Jeep at night, or at least not in complete daylight, with just the angel eyes on. I'm still trying to out if I want angel eyes on my heep.

I do plan on getting some HIRs and Kolak's wiring harness after I get my lift. I just want to know if I should also be saving for some new headlights.


Thanks.

In your original picture you have the factory lights at what looks to be 10-15 feet from the door, and then your HIR picture is much closer at only a few feet from the door. This has someone arguing with me that the results are misleading

Can you humor this guy for me and try to locate the Jeep in the same position as the original bulbs picture and snap a new one with the HIR's and no foglights? That'd be super cool.

OK, I did the best I could, you have to understand that night pics of lights are difficult , and they may not reflect how things look in "real life". Again, do NOT expect HID results from HIRs, but at least for me, they were a real improvement over stock especially when run in these halogen projectors. The angels, well...........it's a personal thing, some like them, some hate them, to each his own, I wired them up and liked the way they look, so I kept them.

Fook, I threw in some day pics of the stock laredo housings I had prior and then the version 3 E-gay "halo-projectors" just so you can see how OEM they look, not as ricey as I think you expect them to look, again don't hook up the angels if you don't like them

Da pics:

before, low beams:



after, (HIR+projectors) low beams then low beams + 9005 fogs:





Angels night shots:





Before, OEM Laredo housings:



After, v3 projectors/angels:





Yes, I know, PIC WHORE!!

P.S. Ramon, stay away from this thread!!!

So in the top pic, is all the orange markers always on? Aren't some supposed to be off for blinker use, or are they double filament?

Also, the ones I am seeing on ebay have clear in the 3 leds on the far outside, did yours come orange?



Last question, are these the same ones? They 3 led's look clear but the configuration looks the same.

And I think I like the angel eyes. They're kinda cool, but I think I'd wire mine up to a switch in the cab so I could control them better.

Looks good!!!

Could this be because it's factory?

The amber is on all the time (park lights), when the blinkers go then the parks alternate with the side markers just like the stock ones do.

Yes, it comes with white LEDs which I quickly changed to amber.

Those are the same ones that I have, in fact I think that's the same vendor. I did not run HIRs with the stock housings but the difference was notable with the upgrade. Again, if u are expecting HID results, you will be disapointed.
