    Those look nice in there, Dave. Now that I have relays, that would be the next logical upgrade.
    I tried some of those Pilot "upgrades" and I wasn't exactly satisfied.

    I did these last year based on this thread here and I am very pleased http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=86949&highlight=jeep

    It was simple, they fit right in and it only takes a few minutes. For the electrical just splice low beam, high beam, and ground wire to the new pigtail. They are not cheap though, I am a Jeep dealer and even at cost I had sticker shock. The thread above has some cheaper alternatives mentioned.

    btw, brightness isnt only thing to consider, correct path cut off, beam pattern, cheap housing scatter the beam, cibbie is about the best for a;; these, boshe is alspo great, Hella ece version is pretty good, but has slight beam scatter.

    ps hid conversion that you can typically buy and install in these glass, or autoPal plastic housings anrt a good idea, and arnt true HID as a hid has a ballast and a projector..usually in 2in Diameter
    eoth that being said you can convert to a true HID if desired but syay in the 5200/6200k range..anything else is just stupid bright which simply blinds oncomming traffic and actually decreases light distance on your end

    rerfound the site that does a true hid conversion with ballast and projector in h4 housing..site seems to be useless now as i guess hes redoing it but theirs no products on it now lmao...
