AMCJeepMJ Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 My $0.02 on them: I had a set for a year and it made the headlights difficult to clean, the wires popped loose from the frame, and the metal clips are a hassle to install and became fatigued and began to rust after a few removals to clean the headlights. I would not pick up another set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 the metal clips I had eventually rusted and gave up. thankfully I was able to find the guard that fell off. eventually glued them both on with silicone. my truck doesn't see street duty so that's the only reason they are still there. otherwise, they are kinda annoying since they dim my already dim headlights (which makes them illegal on the street). I would not do it again. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREDnot Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 They usually come in a set for the YJ wrangler.There are kits that cover the headlight proper, and those that cover the whole yj bucket.(won't fit) I have used them on most of my rigs for 20+ years and they have saved my treasured Cibie E-codes numerous times.
