If no one knows, has anyone successfully replaced it and can give me a link?

IMO, You need to run 60/55w bulbs. 80W low beams blind oncoming traffic.

With the e-codes and wiring harness you'll notice a big difference in light output without upgrading bulbs.

After owning a VW jetta, a Z28, and now my jeep, i still believe sunglasses are more useful at night for me. Every oncoming car or vehicle behind me feels like theyre running there brights all the time. I want to get the brightest dang lights i can and return the favor lol. Hids look like a good option but how do they handle with offroad abuse? Do the ballasts mind the vibrations and bouncing?

That looks like it, but it shouldn't be a vacuum port on a sealed output tcase, should it? I'm using a case from a newer XJ with no vacuum disco axle. I thought it was just the sensor to activate the light on the dash..?

Crap, this sucks.

Thats a stupid/immature reason for wanting bright lights.

I'll give it a whirl... I think I've seen that write-up a billion times, I was just hoping to get a more definitive answer to the part number so my buddy that owns a NAPA could order it.

This Shift Solenoid thing is almost as big a pain in the *** as trying to figure out which fluid to put in it lol

Well I checked out my exhaust earlier and saw this. Kinda curious if its supposed to look that way or supposed to be welded down. (2nd pic)

And the first pic is my oil leak. I usually see a drop come off the bolt itself. I cannot tell where it's comin from. the whole area is kind of a grotesque mess lol. Should I just do my best to clean it and then see where it comes from?

Alright sweet thanks. It just looked like the weld went up to it but didnt weld it. The PO's didn't seem to nice to this rig so I find things that were done terribly on occassion.

I just put a new Magnaflow on my '96 a coupl'a weeks ago. It looks like yours (I figured it was the heat shield, since the factory heat shield I took off was way too big to wrap around the Magnaflow with more mod's than I was willing to do):

...I took the original Mopar cat' off, and changed to a band-clamp in the back. (I bought the wrong size band clamp for the front, and at this point I wasn't willing to drive back down the hill to trade it for the right size, so I reused the front clamp ...the front was the easier of the two to get off anyways lol).
