Rugged Ridge 12402.80 7" Round Crystal H2 Headlight Conversion for 55-06 Jeep CJ-5, CJ-7, CJ-8 Scrambler, Wrangler TJ & Unlimited

I purchased these Rugged Ridge 7" Halogen lamps to replace the OEM sealed beams in my 1984 CJ-7. I am older, eyesight is getting a little dicey and thought the extra brightness of halogens would be a much needed improvement. These lamps installed easily with no problems, plugged into my OEM harness and they work wonderfully. I would estimate that they are 30-40% brighter than the stock units. Have had them for at least three years now and am very pleased.

Works well once installed, but wasn’t simple to hook up. I had to squeeze the gasket on the bulb off and twist it to go through the original assembly. Due to this, one of my assembly pieces broke so I had to add another unexpected expense to this project. Very frustrating and much more costly. Once completed, lights are a much better quality and significant upgrade from stock. Wish the gasket was thinner or casing smaller so it could simply slide in without the hassle.
