Default 99 Jeep Cherokee and Bi-Xenon HIDS...

So I recently have bought opt7 Bi-Xenon bulbs for my jeep. They are H4 and they wouldnt fit in my headlight housings, I had to take the metal tip off and now the light is going everywhere and blinding people. I am trying to find new headlight housings that will work with them but I am having no luck... If someone could help it would really be great and I would appreciate it.

- Thanks, XJWaldo

Throw them in the trash and chalk it up to lesson learned, you're not going to "fix it".

Yeah they will work with projector housings,But do not buy the ebay cheapo projectors those are fake and don't work.Real projector housings your looking 300 bucks unless you buy a diy kit and put the projectors in a h4 housing yourself.

Here are two of your best choices:

https://www.hidprojectors.com/collec...d1s-headlights

Or ditch the meh HID technology and go with LED:
