Thats pretty sweet, but I must admit they look kinda funny with just the small center section lighting up. But once again, congrats dude!
They look sweet at night time. I like them.
Have a good one,
Justin
thanks for the compliments guys. Yes the round projectors seem a
little odd, but they didn't take long to get used to ... honestly, at night
people just see a clean projected light coming at them well before
they see a square jeep with round lights. The company also made
these lights in a black finish (which I preferred), but I have a chrome
grill, and the black housings would make the round lights look more
out of place.
anyways here are some pics of the ballast mounts. one is mounted
in front of my battery.. they other in front of my aFe intake.

looks like you have bug eyes now. I likem though.
looks nice, that's one of the beefs I have w/ my XJ the stock lighting sucks and since I have the "fancy" four headlight grille nobody makes aftermarket stuff for it. But I'm liking that round/square look

Your Wagoner has the exact same headlights I had in my Sunbird GT
(H4703 Low beam + H4701 High beam) Finding lights was a total pain,
but after a year (or two) of looking, I tracked down a company in Cali
that offered a sealed beam conversion. I can't remember their name,
but I do remember that the lights were pretty much a 4x6" headlight
with a flimsy wire adapter.
Basically, you can start by getting yourself a set of 4x6" sealed beam
headlights (check ebay, autopal makes decent headlamps I believe)
along with a set of H4 silverstars or a set of stock bulbs. later you can
upgrade to an oem HID setup using a set of Hella Ballasts/ Phillips
4100k or 4300k D2S bulbs. All you'll need to make them fit is a set of
$28 H4 Adapters (its a sleeve that holds the D2s bulb and slips into
the H4 housing.. it also has a cutoff shield to block a portion of the
light from blinding oncoming traffic). Never use aftermarket ballasts
or bulbs; they're junk. If its not Philips, Hella, Bosch or Osram, than it
will spell trouble.
Remember. you do have one big advantage over my XJ; you can keep
your H4701stock and only upgrade your low beams with an HID setup.
I had to select this setup because I wanted to keep my high beams.
HID bulbs can't dim like Halogen bulbs, so you need a (motorized)
bi-xenon projector to control the beam pattern.

I'll keep the info in mind, although I don't see myself spending more than twenty bucks for a lightbulb lol... Those are one of those parts I tend to bump into trees and rocks w/

ahahaha.. well which one is it fudd?
a.) you want better lights so don't run into trees or
b.) you don't want better lights because they'll get ruined running into
trees
I guess my only question is... has anyone though how the poor trees
feel about this hahahaha. Anyways check the ebay merchant link
below. They specialize in autopal headlights. Drop them a line and
tell them you're looking for a set of 150mm sealed beam headlights.
The trees will thank you.

Its not that I don't see the trees, they are just sometimes in between my point A and point B ya know. I have some tractor lights I slap on my bumper for night runs, only cost me twenty bucks so i don't cry when I smack em on a rock or tree
They're butt ugly, but its dark
