#47
that setup is longgggg gone.. ( my mr2 at least ) ive moved on to bigger and better.. it cost me more then i wanted but. when you can put down BMW's, benz's and other car's. it was worth all of it.

I don't want to do the whole HID/Xenon thing.
I just need "a little better" for my XJ.
Can someone verify that Sylvania Silverstar is a decent upgrade from aging OEM headlights?
OR do I just get a new higher output bulb?

Was this a difficult DIY ?
Got a link to where I can read about doing the same headlight upgrade?

I am going to dig thru this section for ideas. Good idea?

I have passed probably 5 cops since I've had them and haven't had any trouble yet. After doing more research, i learned that projector headlights are recommended with the use of HIDs. If anybody does the conversion with projectors, i would be really interested in the results.
starting out with these, the only problem i think im going to have is this lens is pretty darn strong and aiming them correctly might be a task

I just read up on all of the conversation here about people running illegal headlights. And not only is it against the rules to discuss illegal subjects on the forums here, but it's wrong. Completely wrong.
You should install proper lights as not to risk the safety of the road users you are sharing the road with, or, return back to DOT approved transportation lights. Some cops don't see the value in pulling you over because they can't force you to take the lights out right then and there, but they should.

More information on REAL Hid projectors (very pricey) here:

And another thing. There are so many HID threads on this forum that people have a thing or two to learn about information available on them.

Stock vehicles come with something called an HID projector. They do not just slap HID bi-xenon bulbs into stock H4 halogen housings like a lot of the forum members in this thread are doing.

Trolling... huh...? Read more of the post before judging, and maybe research a little on HIDs. Would you rather I make a completely new thread and waste CherokeeForum server space doing so, or just use a thread that's already been created..
