They will fit, but they will as illegal as **** and you will get pulled over all the time for it. Some of us run less than legal setups, but they are close enough most will never notice unless they are driving.

I know they're illegal but they're just too freakin cool. A buddy of mine has a similar light on his s10 and he doesn't get pulled over much unless he's speedin

Welp, the 7x6 lights will fit the XJ's 6x7 opening, but you'll have to do the sideways headlight mod.

PS: They're illegal mostly because they have crap reflection and blind oncoming cars. If that's what the kids these days consider "freakin cool", then I weep for the future.

PPS: 10000K with red LED? That's...horrible. That's nearly the darkest blue HID...with red LEDs?!?!

The red lights by themselves are enough to get you stopped in some states.

Red lights in the front are a new level of dangerous. I would think it was someone backing up in the road.

Is this thread for realzies?

If you want a ricer, then buy one. These headlights don't belong on a jeep. Come to think of it, they don't belong on anything.

BTW I had a pavement squeegee Honda get behind me tonight. He had these type of lights. One had the headlight portion working, but not the "angel eye"...the other had the "eye" but not the headlight portion working. And the one working headlight was damn near purple. Thank jeebuz for tinted glass, and being lifted, it didn't affect me all that much, but it still annoyed me.

One last thing...when do you graduate from high school?

Red headlights?

You're ****ting us, right?

Aside from how illegal that is, do you know how dangerous that is?

Please put down your keys and walk away very slowly from your vehicle.

Im not going to get the red. And I actually graduated last year and just finished my first semester in college. If I get any color I won't really use the colored ring while driving because I know it's illegal. I need better headlights on a budget. The oem style are horrible and this is a cheap fix for the moment. In the future ill invest more money to do it right but right now on a college budget I need better lights and these will work

No, just.. no. Why? What the...? Spend your money on something worth while. If you want better lights get some that will actually be better.

But they are not better. Don't you get the point? Hids are unreliable junk. The Crappy housing is junk and will toss the light out everywhere but where you need it.
