i found these on amazon..
6000K Pure White Bi-Xenon Slim HID/7X6 H6014/H6052/H6054 White LED Headlights:Amazon:Automotive 6000K Pure White Bi-Xenon Slim HID/7X6 H6014/H6052/H6054 White LED Headlights:Amazon:Automotive

im not sure if they would fit my 1999 cherokee sport, pretty sure they will.

anybody have pics of these in there jeep? i really like the LED's in them but im not sure how you would turn the LED's on without turning on the actual HID headlights.

any comments or ideas?

thanks guys!

For those of you with HIDs.. Do you use additional lights? I'm going to be adding 4 lights to my roof rack and was wondering if I should give with a quality light so it can help, but I also don't want to drop too much since I feel like if they're nice enough, they'll get snagged here in the city. I'm thinking of getting 4 Advanced Auto lights, seeing how they are with the HIDs, then possibly converting them with that H4 or HID mod. Thoughts?

To those of you with HIDs....screw you. I hate every single one of you's when I see and get blinded by them on the road. Jeeps aren't ricer import cars.

But you know what they say about opinions.

Yeah, that's why I'm not going with LEDs. Autozone lights with HID bulbs would be fine.

4-6k should be fine for people. A friend of mine has 6k in his XJ and when he's behind me it's not blinding. And all the new fancy cars have LED headlights and taillights which are annoying. Not to mention, you deal with the headlights for a few seconds as we pass, I have to have good coverage on the dark roads.

H.i.d. Lighting in a headlight designed for halogen bulbs = ricer

H.I.D. Lighting properly Projector Retrofitted , Or in a housing designed for HID = Good Mmmmmk ?

This x Infinity,

A retrofit isnt going to set you back a ton of money. ~$350 or so, yes its a decent amount but not a ton.

I've been using H.I.D's on my rides since 2006! And ive always made that the first mod on my rides due to the fact of more visibility! And now since I be hitting them trails up at night visibility is not a problem on or off road. Now the difference between me and those pesky ricers is im not the next scrub in line with intense deep blue! I have pure white 4300k!

While true, most of us don't want to spend $350 on headlights though.

i not arguing that point, i am not spending that on headlights myself(my setup cost me under $50). its the whole point that H.I.D's in non projector housings are illegal and dependent on your state laws carry a pretty harsh punishment(more than a fix it ticket).

I hear ya. I checked that as well. But here in my state it should be fine. Since two of my friends are running HIDs as well. And I'm going with a quality kit too, so I don't have to worry about a cheap part being extra bright or something.
