I'm selling a pair of OEM leaves from my 99 XJ Sport, the buyer wants to know any specs/info about them and whether they would fit a police package XJ. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks fellas.

Ok I know HID's can be a bit controversial due to people cutting corners for cheapbay stuff but I want to do this for real, I remember reading a long while ago that https://www.theretrofitsource.com/ had some fully setup 7x6 HID projectors but I can't seem to find them anywhere. They don't have a very mobile friendly site and that's the only way I have to research. If someone knows a place that has legit ones ready to go could you direct me to it.
Look forward to the response thank you.

Can someone confirm what size nut exists on the starter main wire post? Mine was rusted all to hell. Took it to Tractor Supply and matched it to either a standard thread 5/16 or an M8 something if I recall. I got the 5/16, seems to be going on VERY tight. Hope I didn't strip the damn thing. Ugh.

Whew. That's a relief. I got it on about 3/16 of an inch. Gonna get it off and replace it. Once again, Cruiser drops some knowledge! Much appreciated.

Get the metric nut and put a little anti-seize on it before installation. You'll be fine. Battery disconnected? BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!
