If you go with the 100/90 make sure you upgrade your stock harness. You should really just do it anyway for better light output but if you go 100/90 you should do ot for the intehrity of your harness.

Word of caution, do not run HIDs in autopal housings, the light dispersion is horrible!

Here, skim thru this link.

https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/h4-...upgrade-10933/

There's plenty info there.

When you order the housings make sure you get the ECE Lenses. Don't get the Diamond Lenses. They suck.

If the cops around you are uptight at all I would suggest run the 100/55w bulbs. The 100/90w are nice tho if you don't have to worry about the police.

Either way this is a must do!:

Lol yea but at what point are they aimed so low that you've sacrificed light output. I had mine taped across the bottom half and aimed accordingly, it worked ok, but i wwsnt happy. Switched to hella e codes and im much happier until i get some projectors in.

I run the autopal Ecodes in my XJ with the bulbs that they come with, An a Putco Harness. It was a huge improvement over stock. Just run the bulbs they come with until they burn out and upgrade to some IPF or Piaa bulbs
