So yeah, I'm definitely addicted to cherokeeforum because I'm writing this while on vacation in mexico!

Anyways on to the topic..
I'm in the middle of retrofitting a set of ebay H4 headlight housings with projectors. I got the projectors out of a daewoo leganza at the junkyard for $7! Basically, I've been following the directions on go.jeep-xj.info. I just wanted to know if anyone on here has done this before and would like to share some knowledge on retrofitting projectors. Share pictures if you have any too! I would love to see them.

 

whats going on bud i have hids in runnin 15k i had 10l with projectors but i hated it i went with the headlamp w/o the projectors and i have alot more lights on the road. i got my hids from xtremehids.com based out of goldsboro i think payed 100 for my whole kit w/ a one year warrentie and its a basic plug and play set.

 

thats what the projectors look like with a black backgroundbut the crome ones are more visable

 

Nice looking XJ you got there!
Right now I have those chrome housings. They're not actually projector headlights even though they have the fresnel lens. I didn't realize that they were fake until I started studying up on projector headlights a little more. Anyways, I have a 6000k Xentec HID Kit that I got off ebay for $35. It was a great deal considering I've been running them for almost 7 months now and I haven't had any issues at all. I drive at night and early in the morning all the time so they're on almost every time I'm out on the road lol.


I'm looking into possibly getting a second xentec kit and retrofitting some fog lights for my bumper with 3000k Yellow HIDs. I think they'd look pretty nice but I have no clue where I'd put the second set of ballasts considering my engine bay is filled with stuff lol

 

ha i hear ya on that one bud and thanks ive done a couple of other mods to it since i took that pic....... u trying to put the fog light in the factory mounting in the bumper???

 

Yeah I have 2 KC 26 series fog lights on my bumper in the factory mounting holes right now. Odds are, I'll end up getting a prerunner bumper and putting some lights in it like the XJ in the picture.

 

dude i want that bumper lol im kinda tired of rubbin every time i turn bit i think itll look great not a big fan of the 3k light im more of a blue guy but think ull love em

 

I want a bumper kind of like this only with the lights built into it.

I like the 3000k HID because it cuts through fog like crazy. I like the functionality of it, the look is alright too, but yeah I like the white/blue light more.

 

wow u got that thing looking right!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks man!
