Projector Headlights??? good or garbage?
 
Hello all,
I was looking around online to see if i could find anything brighter because my stock headlights are just too dim and just dont cut it in the rain. I found the projector headlight replacements on eBay.. they look nice but im curious if they are actually an improvement compared to the stock lights. I have found two different kinds below is the pic of the set i would get. So are they worth it or garbage???

They do suck. Go with HID Glass lensed replacements. There about $80 to $100, depending where you get them. Also wiring harness upgrade. The difference is like night, and day. Worth the money. After that bulbs are like $5.00.

the thing i keep hearing is the more expensive .. the better. The look of the black projectors is def a nice look and makes your jeep stand from the crowd. I found this pic of a jeep with the projectors.. the jeep looks blah but the lights do stand out!

Trueee .. very good point on the glass replacements, The plastic aren't as durable and will fade with in a year or two.

Garbage x2.. I had ordered these lights.. When i received them the looked cool as **** , but soon realized the black housing we unable to reflect enough light. The cheap projector blured the light.. Next day returned.. Maybe if you decide to get a HID kit they may work better but for the standard H4 its horrible. 2 cents

I ended up getting the housings with glass lenses and 8K HIDs.

not all projector headlights are garbage its a get what you paid for type deal with them. the best light set out for the xj is norcalmr2 projectors and angel eyes kit. it is a little pricey ($280) but a well worth it investment if your looking for better lighting il post some pics of them on my friends Cherokee (AJ6's)

wow!! thanks for the excellent pictures.. the last pic def shows the diference between the two and changing over the lights most certainly seems worth it..!

Yeah not all projectors are worth it but these ones certainly are. When you go the HID route you want to use projectors because they dont blind other drivers and the projectors projector the light using lenses inside the housing. the blacked out ones are to black and are worthless these however arent. if you want these without angles eyes its around $170 but the whole setup with eyes and 8k are $280. check out the site and take a look if your interested. here is the write up about them created by Aj6.https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/lig...hid-way-41742/ this should answer most of your questions about install and other lighting options
