Not the best pic, it was taken with my cell phone. It doesn't look so yellow in person, but it gives you the idea of the light output and pattern.

That's a good picture, but I really wish I would have taken one with one lamp swapped and one with the old sealed beam, because it's a huge difference.

I want to do the h4 conversion on the xj and I want to know what the best housings are. I have looked at the ipf and the hella housings and would like to hear from guys (or gals) that have aftermarkets and how the beam pattern is, how bright they are and if you get brighted by other drivers. I am not looking for hid's. I don't want to blind oncoming traffic. and I want to be able to see better at night. thanks for input in advance.
I have some eBay special headlights. They are clear crystal open beams with 6000K H4 HID lights. It doesn't get any blighted or clearer than that. As far as headlights go.

I was thinking the same thing, that would suck to be the oncoming driver.
