FWIW, the Autopals are glass, not plastic.

not to beat a dead horse, but which headlight housing is the best one for the H4 bulb?? lookin at autopal but believe someone said they got hotter then heck which I would expect from a headlight.... gonna order up light upgrade on payday.. thanks guys, this looks worth doing.
last question, have you upgraded your driving lights down below the bumper or just replaced them when they broke and from where on both.. thanks again.. ya, mine are broken... cant decide if I am replacing them or waiting for the bumper I want to put on the truck..

Autopals are fine. Don't get hot or anything.
Get some Autopals with H4s and the harness done and you may re-think the need for driving lights.

I did the Hella e-code housings, the Putco harness and Hella bulbs...major improvement.
Anything else I add will be LED.

Do you guys think these would be good?
It looks like the seller has sold quite a few of these.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/7x6-H6054-PA...d9dcc1&vxp=mtr
I'm new to the Jeep world and Im looking to do some things to my 1999 Jeep Cherokee. I just made some 2x6 box tube sliders to go in place of my rockers(which suprisingly only have 1 rust hole).
After reading about the harness it seems like some people like it and some say its cheap and makes there lights come on and off. Anyone know if most people have had good luck with it?
Just looking for the "best bang for your buck" headlight upgrade. I dont need anything outrageous, just want my lows to be brighter.
Thanks guys
