I don't get the whole angry eyes thing.It seems kinda tunerish to me,does it serve a purpose? Most of us add a buncha foglights and upgrade our headlights to see better seems kinda silly to actually loose some of your lighting just for looks.Just saying maybe I am too old and and just dont see how COOl it iz.I blacked out my turn signals once but then I grew up.Jmho

But at the same time it's just like every mod some people like em some people hate em. It's all personal preference.

doing this to your headlight does NOTHING to the light output, it gives the cherokee a more "angry" look, it isnt just to be "cool".

Its your Jeep do whatever you like to it.You just said it does NOTHING to your light output which is my whole point. A more angry look?More angry than what?Its just my opinion that a mod should actually do something or increase its ability to do something.May as well put a rear fin on it wont do anything either but if you do your Jeep will for sure actually be more ANGRY.grrrrrrrrrrr

Haha. It is a pointless mod, that doesn't do anything for light output. Its all for looks nothing more. But your idea of a rear fin on a jeep sounds pretty sweet.

Figured i'd give the angry eyes a try and see what it would look like on my cherokee. But instead of spray painting the headlights I just used electrical tape, that way if I don't like it I can just peel off the tape. And while I was at it I did my fog lights too.

Hey thanx man. I'll probably run the angry eye's for a while until I get tired of them. Then I can just pull off the E-Tape and back to just plain lights.

Exactly. Its just your opinion. You shared it, thanks for the input. If you don't like the idea, then you don't have to read or post in this thread anymore.

But some of us take pride in our trucks. Some of us want it to look nice, as well as function phenomenally off road. So if someone has five minutes and some leftover spray paint, what's so wrong with making their Jeep look less like all the other XJs out there who ignore outside appearances? Its called being unique. And if its a mod that makes my rig stand out from the croud, then thats enough function for me.

That's why I went with the cheap spray paint I did. 2 min and some laquor thinner and its back to completely stock!
