My 98 cherokee is going to be my DD vehicle, and everybody knows how the stock headlights are. I was considering doing an HID kit on it. like the 6 or 8k ones. I have the link saved on my home computer, but I'm wondering what people have done to upgrade their headlights, and maybe before and after pics if you have them.

thanks

HIDs slammed in stock housings suck. But everyone does them anyway bc OMG SO BRRIIYYYTTEE. pattern is what lights up the road.. I have hella housings and bulbs with an upgraded harness and it's nicer than hid splattered all over the road.

Well you already know i make upgraded harnesses. The reason stock headlights suck cause of the wiring. Upgrade the wiring, your lights can shine at their full potential. Check my build thread. The pics are after i did my harness with 55w stock lights.

I totally agree

Upgraded harness (as other have stated, either DIY or pre-made), IPF H4 housings, bulbs/hid of your choice if you wish. Bajahid.com has good deals.

ok, jake, might take ya up on that, and i did see those pics. I probably will do the harness, and upgrade the lights themselves as well. the Hella ones are good?

I just went with Delta's halogen conversion kit. Direct plug and play, takes h4 bulbs (replaceable) no need to replace your wiring harness unless you put in 100w bulbs. I noticed a huge difference compared to the sealed beams, and it only cost 50$ plus shipping.

Gee oh Dee

If your OK spending some money go with NorCalMR2.com and get their HID projectors.

They are effing amazing, nearly plug and play, and dont blind oncoming traffic or scatter light all over.

I ised the Putco harness upgrade.

Also, moved to Chat.

I'm not knocking the wiring upgrade I should do it but I just switched housing (forget housing brand) and to hella h4 bulbs made a nice difference Id suggest doin wiring and lamps way brighter way better pattern and might be more expensive to some of those cheap hids but if you want hids better than changing our housing and bulb I seriously think you'd need to spend like 1000 dollars , just sayin , oh check my build thread you can see my lamps and suck

If you upgrade the harness for stock lights I dont guess they will work for HIDs in the future? How much $ you think id be into with a decent set of housings a harness and bulbs?

i got the sliverstars work well, bright and are nice and wide for night driving

Gee oh Dee

My harness worked, i think I got an adaptor with my projectors.

Any links to where I can find the stuff, my head lights suck, and its a part time DD, so good headlights would be a worthy upgrade

jakbob

hid kits for cherokees have adapters to the 3 prong plug. you can still upgrade the harness and then use HIDs later.

go with sliver stars youll save some money and they work great for an ok light upgrade!
