About to upgrade the '96 XJ's stock headlights to new H4 Autopals. Could someone point me to the right Autopal E-code H4 housing for my truck? 90/100. Thanks

Default What is 'City Lights?'

I believe I've found the right H4 Autopal headlight upgrade I'm looking for on eBay and the seller offers a 'City Lights' option upgrade for $2. I've been told I should get this but not sure what this is. What is this 'City Lights?' Is it the lens?

City lights is a little blue reflector that add a blue glow.

You may want to start with the 55/60 bulbs. If when driving you encounter heavy snow or fog, 90w low beams will make your ride a death trap.

Don't get the city lights. They are really called parking lamps and are just stupid little extra bulbs in the housing that are European regulation or something.
