I thought for sure I'd hate the 6000K's but after  seeing your Jeep, they seem like exactly what I want. I went ahead and ordered the 6000K's from mydepots on ebay, since that seems to be what everyone recommends. The icing on that cake is that at $69.95 shipped, the price is definitely right! I'll keep you all updated once they come in and I'll gladly post some pics if anyone is interested in them. Since I'll be doing the job myself, I'm open to requests for info if anyone is interested in pictures of any specific part of installation (ballast mounting, bulb installation, etc).   Thanks again for taking the time to post those pictures!
