Ive looked everywhere and I can't really find any HID headlights/conversion kits for my Jeep..I know the headlights are sealed beam so I knew it would be a little harder to find. If anyone can help me out it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there, but here's one option.

first thing - you need to get projector housings (NOT H4 housings). The scatter pattern is way different. http://norcalmr2.com/pegasus/
second - if you expect to have high beam/low beam, you need to get bi-xenon HIDs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_4985wt_1165
third - keep the color temperature below 6000k. Anything above that will decrease the light output and you'll end up worse than your stock headlights (you know those ricers that drive around with the really blue/purple HIDs? Yea...they can't see ****...)

and honestly, i have a simple h4 conversion and an upgraded harness, and my lights are bright as ****. I see no need for HIDs that justifies the extra cost, but that's just me.

H4 is a bulb size and HIDS are aftermarket bulbs so if you get a H4 conversion kit off Ebay like me, you need a H4 HID kit. I am running a H4 Ebay special projectors with HID 55W Bi-Xeon. If you want HIDS you need to get rid of factory lights. Using these lights http://norcalmr2.com/pegasus/ are the proper way to run HID because the H4 conversion from Ebay does make the light scatter everywhere. Where you buy the HID it completely up to you I might get chewed out from other members but I have never had any luck from DDMTuning.com I am running 8000k if your wondering.
