Make sure you attach thw ground wire on that harness to bare metal. I haven't had a problem with my harness at all, but there have been guys who blow relays because they aren't getting a good ground.
As for bulbs I just went with hella 55w/100 and so far I've loved them.

 

Ok, I will definitely do that. I was able to get everything on amazon prime so yay for free two day shipping!

 

Looking good. Nice to have a parts rig right there.

 

Definitely. I have saved at least $300 already

 

I got this today!

 

Boom

 

Well, the lens on one housing is cracked. And the reflectors are... Crap? I'll run them for the weekend. Then they're going back if my 130/90w bulbs don't melt them...

 

Just ordered these. METAL housings

 

Where they cracker right out of the box or they just cracked while driving? Either way that sucks.
Those 130w highs are bright huh?

 

Right out of the box. Just a little bit but I'm not having it.

I got the putco wired it and am keeping the sealed beams until I get the next lights. So we'll see about the 130s

 

So far my lights definitely seem brighter and whiter. For those who aren't familiar with the putco harness, it connects directly to the battery and a male plug plugs into one headlight socket and trips a relay for each beam. The circuit grounds after each headlight. I scraped and sanded paint from some spots to ground them so the relays don't blow on me. Can't wait for those 130s...

 

its a must have for any xj. it was the first mod i did on my old xj and the current one!!

 

subbed... what's the neg with the HID's and winter? I have HID's on mine and we get really really dense fog here in the winter... never had a problem

 

25 below is regular here lol. And I'm thinking it's gonna be a cold winter this year. For about three weeks now the highs have been high 60s and low 70s with lows of high 40s and low 50s. I don't think 40 below will be irregular this year. There's no fog at those temperatures LOL

 

I've put a few tanks of gas through the jeep now. It's averaging about 19.5mpg which is a HUGE jump from the caddy's 14-15 towards the end. That thing really surprised me a few times though, 25mpg on long highway trips wasn't unheard of.
