Upgrade to the Putco harness.

Don't do the H4 conversion without upgrading the harness. It's really easy, there are some good writeups on here. Check the Writeup section for some howtos

Yes. YJs and XJs both use H6054 sealed beams.

This is very true, the harness upgrade (with relays) is far more beneficial to the performance of your headlights than the headlights, themselves. Upgrading to the Putco harness and Rampage H4 headlights was one of the first projects I tackled when I got my Cherokee and it went very smoothly despite the fact that I had no previous experience. Actually being able to see where I was going at night was a huge bonus.
