For the price I paid cant beat em E bay 9.95 shipped.When I first got em they were nice and pretty and after awhile the inside has faded quite abit .On really rainy days you'll see condensation behind the glass ,and a glass reflector on the inside fell out of its housing had to epoxy it back-cheap ,but they light up way better even with 55 w bulbs then the sealed beams.The low beams on these are a hell of alot brighter then the high beam on the stock style

that's cheap, i'll look some more - the ones i found were about $40 to $45 shipped.

I snagged them last minute in an auction,opening bid and nobody else bid against.The little blue lights in the bottom"city lights"they call em ,you gotta splice them in to power and ground-or leave them unhooked .Im on ebay quite a bit -window shopping-If I see some I will  ya

yeah, or some windshield urethane sealant

i wonder if anyone used these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/79-90-91-92-93-94-96-JEEP-CHEROKEE-EURO-HALO-HEADLIGHTS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem27b203fc8eQQitemZ170490330254QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

and how they work compared to stock which suck a$$ for visibility at night

one think is that you can put some aftermarket bulbs in but the low beam which is the problem is usually 55 or 60 watts (from what i remember) and the high is 100 and i find that being acceptable

The only problem I can see with sealing the light up is that the heat coming off the bulb will heat up inside the housing and may cause condensation.  I'm not sure about the HID units but condensation kills Halogen bulbs pretty quick if it condenses on the bulb.  All of my Aux lights died when I was in Hawaii soon after I brought the Jeep over and needed to be replaced.  I still haven't bought new ION's for my Cebies as they are hard to find.  I know PIAA makes some but they're $60 for two bulbs. 

I'd be weary with those cheap Euro conversions.  I'd stick with Hella oe IPF.  Hella makes a Euro version that's not DOT as well.

i bought a set for $25 shipped and they come with 100/90w bulbs

i'll try and purge them with argon before sealing, maybe that will keep the condensation away

cheap enough to give it a try

Definitely post a review on those lights.  I have seen those on ebay and have thought about giving them a try.

i'm also looking at a 55w hi/lo HID conversion kit at about $70 shipped but i am unsure of 1 thing

my 1995 YJ was made for Canada and therefore it has the Daytime Running Lights module in it - not sure how that would play into the matter since the Digital controllers for the HIDs would come in play there - gotta do some research before i go ahead and do the conversion.

HID will not work with DRL.

would you get pulled over for not having the drl working?

I've read that if you wire them direct to the battery (using relays) that the stock lights get quite a bit brighter.  It seems the stock harness has high resistance and the lights don´t get the full battery voltage.

Yes they get brighter but they aren't miracle makers.  One of the problems is that the headlights are too close together which can't really be fixed.

I hate the YJ's headlights.  Frankly they are too dim at night.  I always use my PIAA Fogs (yellow filter) at night and when it's raining.  I aim my fogs down and to the right so they don't blind people too bad.

Replace the OEM lights with a set of Silverstar Ultras. They'll be plenty bright then. Mine make it look like white-blue daylight in front of me even on low-beam.

i don't think so, but can definitely use the little bulbs for that (the city driving bulbs in those lights i got) - only thing is that i need to rewire the stupid DRL.

I wonder how these are.  http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=64057&langId=-1
