Under hood lamp?

It seems right around 97-98 they changed the under hood lamps and associated connector in chryslers. my question is which do i need for my 97? I have been looking for pics of cherokees with hoods open all evening and theyre hard to come by and the ones i do find dont have lamps. any info is appreciated

Check your local junkyard. 97-2001 should all be the same connector I believe.

lol it doesnt matter if you get one. It wont ever work. Mine I have to hit it a few time so have it come on. and if it does decide to turn on you need more light to see anything. I would just rock a flashlight.
