My HID kit cost me $80 shiped to my door from ebay and they work beutifly, hopefully next time I hit the trail in the dark ill try and take some pictures, its mainly the rear where I need more visibility, I like justins set up but ill use duel lights, has anyone been to a store called HARBOR TOOL friet? They got a lot of cool stuff like winches,off road lights, hi lift jacks, etc. Im eyeballn some pretty cool lookn 5" round driving light, its got brackets and hardware to mount em for $10 each light

 

It's all pretty cheap stuff. Most of the time HF tools are a matter of when it breaks, not if.

 

Lol true! But I did see alot of good stuff, you really think HF tolls is a waist of my money?

 

Depends. I have broken a few of their sockets and extensions just by hand, not with an impact. Broken screwdrivers, a set of needlenose, and their pneumatic stuff is worthless. There are just certain things I wouldn't buy there.

Don't mind their grinding discs lol

 

Wow and I walked out of there thinking I got a goo deal on 2 ratchets 3/8s & 1/2 inche and two sets of sockest for the 1/2 inche socket wrench, but there the black harden impackt sockets

 

Deep sockets

 

So will I run into any issues with running the 80/100 and Autopal housing? I'm seeing mixed reviews on this setup.



Have a link?

 

I believe I'm going to go with the 60/55w ones because I want my headlights to last for more than a year.

 

Huh? I ran 90/100s for 4 years and they were still good. What's your reasoning?

 

I had my setup for over a year and are still working flawlessly

 

I've heard that they burn out after a year or less, run too hot so you need to constantly clean your headlights so the heat can dissipate.

 

So if I were to go to HIDs.. would these be a good choice? They're Bi-Xenon, which gets me hi and low beams, right?

Anything better for a better price?

 

if you want the 100% legal way of going HID's do a retrofit. HID kits into the housings that we are putting on our xj's arent ment to have HID's in them.

 

Im not shure what kit I bought but I still have the package I have to check it out, but if you want HID's you will not be disappointed I had my setup for over a year already.no matter where im at visibility is not a problem on or off road. Chose a kit wisely, dont go cheap and get those cheep kits cuz those will only last you 6 to 8 months brfor they start flikering and going bad. And my opinion you really dont need high beems, there really bright!

 

What would I need to do a retrofit? That kit I posted looks like a whole new everything, is that something else? Or are you talking about HID bulbs in a stock XJ housing? I'm still learning about headlights haha.

Thanks!
