Sure man. I'll turn off my brights unlike the guy who blinded you to the point of danger.

All I have to add to this is that I LOVE flipping on my high beams and roof lights any time I pass somebody with HIDs and no projectors. How's that for ya?

I've been running ebay 7x6 housings with an 6oook kit for 3 years. Not a single problem with cops or other drivers. I drive all over chicago and surrounding suburbs. HID Conversion..

It's all about adjusting the headlight bezel. I've had 4 different XJ's so far. All with cheap ebay kits....so far. Zero tickets. Zero high been blashes from other drivers. Zero problems.

Default nice

OK I for one am new to the hid area. Can anyone help me out? So my story, I bought my 99 Cherokee from a used dealer lot mom n pop kind of place. Well the engine was replaced and I'm thinking the headlight wiring was messed up. I have factory wiring from what I can tell and have sealed beam high/lows. Well I'm thinking if im going to mess with the wiring might as well upgrade. So if anyone can help me with finding an honest website with good projector lens and 10k temp bulbs and what all I need to make it safe. Thank you.

Honestly unless you have 300 bucks or more to spend hids are not for you,You can get a h4 wiring harness with the relays and a good set of h4 housings cheaper and still be a upgrade over factory headlights.

+1... And 5,000 - 6,000K lights will out perform the 8,000. Most people don't understand this concept. I'm going to have to make a video to show how different objects look at night when hit with different colors of light. By shining blue light, you limit what you will be able to see, no matter how bright it is.
