I like the look of them but it has me asking a few questions.
-Did you upgrade your alternator? Let's see, 130 watts time four is 520 watts
Doing the math that works out to 35 extra amps from your stock
Zeks05:
Would that be 43 amps: (130x4) = 520/12 = 43 amps
Just make sure you used heavy gauge wires, and maybe an optima battery upgrade. You could also drop you bulbs to 100 watts, that would drop your amps to 33.

I plan to park my KJ in a garage so I'm planning to fab up a lower profile light bar with four 55 watt lamps. I may still require an alternator upgrade.
I don't think you would need an alternator upgrade. Many people on here run 4 55w lights. You might need to upgrade your battery.
