Welcome to CF Simon.

The first link is for the Autopal's.. it's an H4 conversion. I bought them years ago on ebay.. for $23 USD. Unless he upgrades the bulbs you might want to check ebay.

These are an improvement over the factory sealed beams, i'm about to install an upgraded wiring harness to get even more from the Autopal's. This is a common conversion.. some guys buy costlier bulbs but i'v been ok with the original's.


The second link is an HID conversion. This option will cost you more money... but thats about all i know of them.

The autopals are good, I'd go that way for a H4 setup. Can be gotten on Ebay for less $$. Much better than stock. True HID setup even better, but not worth the extra $$, IMO.

TK's to all of you
I think I'll have the autopal headlight.
But Weou09, can you tell me if the hid you have, first can fit in the autopal, and secondo if you have high and low beam on it?

Since they have the h4 bulb yes DDM sells an H4 hid. Yes they sell a H4 Hi/Lo but they arent like regular high low settings they have a actuator that moves the bulb back and forth to change the light spread.

The autopal headlights would be the best option...
Just the right bright for your jeep...

well i guess the 90's arnt legal so still if I got the 100/55's would the 100watt high beam be to much for stock wiring?
