Isn't there a catalog hanging there with the lamps so customers can use it as a reference? Or, go to a parts store and ask the person behind the counter.

With the H4 conversions, you'll want to upgrade your headlamp harness. You mentioned cheapest. I'm confused now. Stock headlamps like at Wal-Mart are what you were originally looking at.....

Yeah I just went to Wal Mart and replaced one today... 99 XJ sport it's a Sylvania 6054... like 10 bucks. You can check your fit on Amazon.com or other ways.

Don't have to, but if you want them to be even brighter and not cause your headlamp switch and it's plug to melt down some night, it's a real good idea.
