I got a set of projector headlights with 6000k hid lights. 35watt. Best investment ive made by far, i can see so great at night, rain, fog, nothing these cant handle. Total was 84 shipped. And im not one of those jerks who have there hids aimed in your face, there down low and i can still see great. Havent had any cars flash me yet. Only other xj owners asking about them my kit came with an upgraded heat resiatant harness.

I had those, they're not real projectors. They're just a glass lens sitting in front of the bulb in a traditional reflector housing. You need to retrofit a real set of projectors in there like I did.

I have a 94 and put in a set of h4 lights from ebay and they cost me 25 bucks and i might have spent 10 to 20 on building a wiring harnness for the lights to be bright and im super satisfied with them!

I just took the housings apart with a heat gun to melt the adhesive holding the glass lens on, cut the back open with a dremel, removed the fake projector and put the real projectors in.
The projectors I used are Morimoto Mini bi xenons. I mounted them to the housing using screws and high temp silicone.
That's really all the modding you gotta do to the housings.
