The only way to get HID for our cherokee's is to get an H4 Conversion Lamp(4"x6"). Then get the HID bubs and balists.

I would suggest a 4"x6" projector lamp tho. That way you have the cut off line and do not blind people.

X3. All year cherokees have sealed headlights. As previously state, you need the H4 conversion headlights. They're available on ebay for about $30.

You need the H4 conversion headlights, Get a decent set with glass lens, not plastic (they dull out, or yellow). Along with the wiring kit. After that bulbs are cheap. About $80-$100, But they are worth it. The difference is like night and day. (excuse the pun)
