Default Head Light ?

I was looking at getting some headlight that i can just replace the bulbs and not the whole thing. Are these the right lights? Also how do you think these would look on a white cherokee with black rims? Thanks Alot http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1979-...Q5fAccessories

I ran the Hella replacement headlights on my Wrangler (YJ) and am currently running the IPF headlight conversions with Sylvania silver star ultra bulbs. I went with the IPF because of the EU light distribution pattern and learned from a side by side comparison that the Sylvania bulbs have better clarity and distance than the Hella bulbs. Be careful with the ones your are looking at. The black background looks cool but you don't want it absorbing/ wasting your lumens.

yes but you need a heavy duty harness, i ordered one from lmc and twice i got the wrong order so i just got a refund, so you might want to do a lil research on the harnesses, i order the his for the conversion but they would turn one for a little while then turn off. so you need a hh harness for sure.
