Halo headlights on an xj
 
Would anyone know how to go about doing a conversion like this it appears to be jk halo headlights into an xj and I know the wiring harness is different and all that but if anyone had any insight on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated

It dos look cool and different. I like the halo type light but I went with these and wow are they brite and have a nice sharp cut off for high and low. don't know of a kit to change to round I think it would have to be made.

You could retrofit a projector into an H4 housing then put a halo around it. It would be a rectangular housing with a round projector in the center. Or they also make H4 housings or led also that have the halo but it follows the rectangular shape. I saw some projector halo kits that I think were called devil eyes? There’s a red halo close to the projector lense that makes the lense glow red. Then there’s a second halo at the projector base that can be a different color.

I’m starting to really like this style. If I can find ones that have a good light pattern. I really like how the drl is a straight led tube through the center. It’s reminiscent of the new cars that have all the fancy led and ccfl. Only just a simple straight line and it works well for the XJ giving it a modernish look while improving the effectiveness of the headlights. Don’t forget to add a relay harness to the headlights as well. It’s on my to do list before I bother with new headlights.

And sorry I didn’t really answer your question. If I were going to convert to round lights probably the easiest way would be to use motorcycle headlights that have a bolt on one side. Drill a hole in the header and mount them to it.
