For the installation on any TJ, you'll need a T-15 Torx driver. Fairly simple huh...one little thing though....be careful where the the Torx screws fall when removing them. I would recommend using a magnetic driver, or a simple piece of duck-tape underneath the headlamp bezel.

Before our specific install, we had to remove our headlight guards but thankfully, they used the same retainer screws as the headlamp.

What is important to note, though, is that once you are finished installing the headlights, be sure to adjust them properly so they hit the road evenly and at the right distance. Too often, four-wheelers lift their rigs but never aim their headlights back down and end up blinding everyone that comes toward them. Don't forget this step! This can be done on an empty, dark road with the help of a Phillips head screwdriver. You can also pull up to a wall or garage door to make sure that they are even.

According to Sylvania, SilverStars burn at 4000K, which is nearly as white as standard HIDs which burn at 4100K. For comparison-sake, standard Halogen bulbs burn at 3200K and daylight is 5400K.

HID systems can run $500-1000 or more to convert a non-equipped vehicle. The SilverStars we are running in our Rubicon cost about $50 per pair, compared to roughly $30-35 for Halogens. When you look at the cost differences and the huge benefits of the SilverStars, there's simply no question as to which headlights to buy - the Sylvania SilverStar.

Don't forget to have a few buddies help you out if you are uncertain on the install or if you just want company.

Like we always say ... "it always helps to have a couple of buddies help you out"
