Don't take that as a final answer... there is a way to fix it, just have to search for it... I thought the same thing and then luckily, getting an upgraded harness with relays fixed it - obviously that won't work in your case, but something will.

I have decided to switch back to halogens until I can shell out the money for real projectors and a better HID kit.

I've been following this build for so long! It just gets better and better. Awesome job.

On a side note, I'm about to install a 3 inch lift. Any recommendations on 31" tires? I'm mostly on road but like to take it off occasionally. Love your build, man.

Thanks bud.

I actually have to recommend the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires. These tires wear very well and they get traction anywhere.

Thanks, dude. I'm new with tire sizes, but good years site says that they don't have those tires for the cherokee? Sorry for being so dumb. If I want 31" what are my measurements?

A tire is a tire. As long as you can get a fitting rim for the Cherokee (such as the Cragars I'm running), the tire will fit right under there.

I'm running 33x12.50r15 tires. If you go with 31s, you're most likely going to get 31x10.50r15 tires, which will fit fine on a 15x8 rim.

So in returning my previous HIDs, I'm now looking into this projector kit:

Did a full tune-up today.

Changed my spark plugs, changed my wires, changed my distributor cap, changed my rotor, and changed my air filter. She idles so smoothly you can barely even tell that she's on.

Nice! When my XJ is happy, I can sleep at night.
