Thanks to XJSnake.

No, 55/65W sealed beam halogen headlights are okay.

No, they're out there and apparently not melting housings - http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-SilverStar-Performance-Halogen-Miniature/dp/B009ELOAX4/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1364242956&sr= 1-1&keywords=1157+silverstar+bulb"]SilverStar 1157s

My friend Taran tried LEDs in his RX7, decided they weren't bright enough, got these.

Listen to Salad and Cruiser on this one. Upgrade your harness. If you do a bit of research (ie googling "Putco harness Jeep Cherokee") you will notice multitudes of people claiming the difference. I installed the Silverstar sealed beams with the stock harness, and was impressed, installed the Putco harness, and was equally as impressed again, just by the addition of the harness.
