I just installed a set of those. I recommend them but they are not just drop in. You will need to modify the buckets the lights sit in. By modify, I mean you need to remove a fair amount of plastic in the bucket to make room for the back of the lights. Other than that just get the adapters and plug them in.
Viper is correct, you'll have to remove some plastic but its not terrible. With H4 to 9007 converters it will all be plug and play minus the DRL strips which I just wired into my lower DRL lights.
They're decently bright. Blow the Trucklites I had out of the water. Which I'll sell if anyone is interested. They are 24 volt military lights so they'll need converters, one of which is going bad but the other is good.

Ok so to summarize in as few words as possible.
The trucklites drop straight in and require the wiring harness adapter to be fully operational.
The other LED option we'll call it "jeep headlights" require modification to the housing and require the wiring harness adapter and for the DRL's feature to work need to be spliced into the factory DRL's to be fully operational.
In terms of performance the "jeep headlights" are better than the trucklites.
"Jeep headlights" cost about $200 for the pair. Excludes wiring harness adapter.
Trucklite cost about $182. Not specified if this is for the pair. Excludes wire harness adapter.

Whilst we're looking at headlights, anyone know the size of the round DRLs below the headlights ? I am looking to upgrade them and hoping to find something that drops straight in. I would consider the trucklight 80275, but am open to opinion ?

If you don't want to completely change out your driving lights I replaced the bulbs with these CREEs off Amazon. Bright as heck and a easy upgrade.
