1997 xj country ed under hood light bulb?
Hello Fellow Jeepers...
I have a rather odd question. My 97 xj country is missing its under hood light bulb. The connector is a single contact on the bottom center. I had autozone look it up and it came up as a Sylvania 140 bulb. They don't sell it and I googled it and couldn't find it. Is this the right bulb or is there another bulb that should fit? Help please. Thanks.
I should also note that the 97 is different from the 96 (pre face lift) and the 98 + 99 (as my buddy has a 98 and 99 xj (both stock)).

You can use any single contact single filament bulb. Even an 1156 bulb has the same base just brighter with a larger glass. Go to the store and use the 1157 bulb base as an example. Then just get a smaller glass if it wont fit. I use the 1156. Good luck

According to NAPA's web site, a '97 Cherokee should use a "105" bulb for the underhood lamp. The local store in my area shows 14 in stock, so it should be fairly common.
