    Yup, Opt7 sends you everything you need for the headlights. Just gotta get creative with making sure the bulbs line up like this: 0l0. Opt7 Changed the design with the Flux Beam X and got rid of the set screw. I had to wrap some electrical tape around the little nubs as to get more friction for proper alignment (you won't be locking the bulb all the way). If you do lock the bulbs in all the way, the the alignment will be off by 30 degrees or so. That equals lousy beam pattern. If you get the regular Opt-7 Flux Beam, these have a set screw which you can use to adjust the alignment of the bulb. Just be warned that you need to do some drilling and that screw is in there REALLY tight. I believe there is a write up on this forum somewhere on how to do that.

    The other thing you need to keep in mind is that you will probably want to keep the dust cover off the back of the light housing. I contacted Opt7 about this and they recommended that the dust cover be left off to allow air circulation for proper cooling, especially in the summer.

    One thing they did recommend/promote was their full headlight replacement (which looks cool), but I haven't worked up the stones to remove the bumper on the Renegade yet. I'm gonna get a few more miles on it before I decide to do that.

    And check you inspection laws too. I know in Massachusetts, LED headlights, unless OEM, will cause you to fail an inspection, so keep the halogens around for inspection time!

    As for the LED DRL's you just straight up swap them.

    They are the 17" wheel option that come on the Latitude. I believe it is called Snowflake and still are available.

    My basket helped a little so it's no longer a whistle. It's more of a deep woosh now, a bit more pleasant but I still want a wind sheild thing and I'm going to be getting a led bar as well.
