Lol calm down. The e-code housings are still far legal over half the crap on eBay. E codes have a cut off. One difference with e code housings is the raise in the beam cutoff to see street signs. I dont see this with DOT housings. I'm all for E codes. I've ran them with 90w bulbs and 65w bulbs low beam and when properly aimed, they aren't any brighter to oncoming traffic than a direct glare from an Audis HID projector. (yes, even new cars with factory projector can be blinding)

 

I run a putco harness, Cibié housings and Osram 55/60w bulbs.

The harness alone is where most of the light output upgrade came from. Super easy and cheap for a big difference. Order a couple extra relays when you buy the harness. They use a weird style relay and I had one crap out on me a couple months after installing.

The beam pattern of the Cibié housings is amazing. I did a lot of research on different housings before I pulled the trigger and I'm very happy I spent the extra dough on these.

Also, don't get taken for a ride with expensive bulbs. There's a lot of false information and "gimmicks" when it comes to bulb selection. Don't get fooled by those dumb blue ones or any of that. My $30 Osram bulbs have been phenomenal.

Here's the Cibié website. Daniel Stern is an absolute lighting guru and will thoroughly answer any questions you may have.

Thank you!

Let us know how ya like/dont like em.

 

That's a good looking harness at a great price. Has an inline fuse at the battery even.

 

I'll keep you informed.

 

Ive been running it for two years on the 2000 no problems..

 

So, if it works good in both Alaska and Arizona, it should be good.

 

Yep tested to -15f..lol. Plus my headlights are on more then the average person for winter do to no sun for about 6 months, so I have some running time on them.. Good harness.

 

Thats the one Ive been running for almost 2 years now. No problems and those mechanical relays have lasted fine too. And, of course, its not yellow.

 

Just installed it. very nice.

 

Do you still have the stock headlights? I just ordered this but still have the stockers, but upgraded to the H4 headlights assemblies.

 

Picked up my 4th xj a few weeks back and immediately installed truck lite led headlights. Major upgrade.
Not a direct comparison, but I upgraded my 964 to euro h4s 55w/100w.There's no comparison
