Nope, it's the diamond clear housing with the deflector.... I didn't know it, but there is a little blue bulb in it at the bottom for show, I guess

Yeah, I've seen the ones you're talking about... the projectors are nice, I just like more of a wide dispersement vs a focused beam... I was figuring that about the little blue bulbs... that's probably what I'll do... I'll let everyone know how it looks/operates after lunch.

Noticed a hose hangin down under the jeep when i got to work this morning...turned out to be the breather hose for the TC. Somehow the bolt that mounts it to the top of the trans backed out and it was just draped over the TC. Scared the crap outta me because as soon as i saw it coming off the back side of the trans i thought i had left all my fluid on the road!! Once i got under there and got a closer look i was relieved.
So after i got home i re-routed the hose upthe inside of the frame rail and up in the engine bay next to the extended front diff breather hose. Crisis averted!

Disassembled rear brakes in hope of finding odd clunking sound. Brakes fine. I guess 182,500 miles is the healthy life expectancy of a D35.

Also spraybombed the rear windshield wiper. Tommorow I'll do the front, it looks a lot better than corroded bare metal.

Here is the ebay item description verbatim...

H6054 H4 XENON BULBS DIAMOND HEADLIGHT 240SX / CHEROKEE

Seller is dnamotoring

Well, they look great on the jeep... one of them has a real sloppy dispersement though.... I'm thinkin that it's the bulb though, tomorrow I'll swap the bulbs and post my findings...

In the post below, the driver's side lense is the new one (in the pics with the lights on... low then hi) then of course pics with both lights off and installed...

I think I'm gonna go with a heavy duty wiring upgrade a friend of mine did on his jeep (pics of red jeep) and 130 watt bulbs

I had to bend my door frame/hinges back into shape, because my wife just opened the door and didnt hang on to it.

doing that in 50mph winds is not a good idea.

Wire brushed a bunch of rusty bolts. Rebuilding a Jeep is a lot of work.
