Since i Mentioned the Headlight upgrade i will cover that as well tonight
While i was doing the alternator and wiring upgrades a buddy of mine with a 98 xj asked me to figure out a wiring issue for him . he was having issues with his headlights being too weak and one was dimmer than the other (probably bad ground on that side).
In looking into his issue i came to notice that my perfectly working stock ones were pretty weak with the stock sealed Beam headlights that put off that awful Dim yellow light. And Rather than troubleshoot a system that wasnt enough in good working order we would upgrade (I decided i would do mine too)
So we got the Eautoworks Headlight wiring harness upgrade (to ensure we allways get full power to the lights).
And Ordered Us Some Autopal E-Code Glass H4 headlight housings w/bulbs
The European Code headlight housings are way nicer than what ive seen in the D.O.T. housings (not that im an expert) .
Not only did the housings and wiring kit give me the ability to run H4 Halogen bulbs but they have a Nice Clean Cut off at the top so you are not blinding others on the road.
You can really see the clean line at the top of the light output where it wont shine above when you pull in the garage and shine them on the wall..
I think they came with a 55/80 watt or a 55/100 watt (low/high beam) set of H4 bulbs
that are still going strong after about a year and are a noticable improvement. however i think when they do burn out i will probably go up to a 80/100 watt bulb .
(i have kind of poor night vision)
