Depends if you want a retrofit or just a plug n play. Jon_To sells plug n play sets on here.

I don't mind wiring ballasts what do you mean by retrofitting exactly?

Putting a projector housing in your light. Shines farther, wider, less glare, and the high beams aren't a joke like the plug and play kits(mine shine over a mile). Also you won't blind oncoming traffic. Here's my setup, Morimoto MH1 projectors in lightning housings with 5000k bulbs. It's bright as heck, and the only way to properly do HID's IMO. The low beams are bright but they don't shine above window level on cars

$270, but it was well worth the performance gain and not blinding traffic

Yeah retrofits are the way to go if you have the money to spend. Here are mine.

"Jeep recovery vehicle" LMAO!

The front end on both your trucks is amazing, I personally will be looking into this Headlight retro fit thing.
