That's exactly what I just said. The t5 will work better then the 194. I was able to make the 194 fit but the t5 are smaller. Which is why I said the t5 wi work better. Have him a heads up.

And I know they are different bulbs. Used t5 in my dash. There are some years that say they have 194s fit easy

thanks for the tip. I'll have some help from some guys who've done them before. I hope anyway. though it'll be awhile anyway before the lift and all is installed. I'm the parts gathering stage...

so far I got 33s, rims, sye ordered, getting front driveshaft tomorrow for the rear, and then I need to still save for the actual lift itself.

Not really something I did to it but something I did with it. First time for me towing with the XJ. It did really good, didn't even feel it back there but I can say that once the splitter reaches 45 mph it starts to bounce so it was slow going...

I'm aware. I've read you need one with a width of 10mm or less (0.39") which, the first ones I was going to get were listed as 0.39" but I had to get different ones to save a few cents and they looked the same but didn't list dimensions.

I've read all I'd have to do is widen the hole with a dremel or something and it'll be good.

Worst case scenario, I could only get t5 bulbs in a 10pc. So I'll have extra.

Got the manche to run smooth. Starts easier then my cherokee. Also drove it. First time driving a standard and I did surprisingly well. Really needs shocks and possibly power steering pump. Hopefully it just low fluid.
