Headlight conversion
I am looking for info on the h4 conversion headlights for my 1998 jeep cherokee sport. I have looked at a few and was looking to see if anyone has done this and if so which ones they used and how they perform.

Re: Headlight conversion
I have used a few different ones and my Favorite was the IPF glass H4 Lenses...
Just think about what your going to use them for, meaning if your staying with an H4 lamp then anything is fine but if you are going to go HID or plan on it in the future make sure you have ones that are glass as the plastic ones will discolour after a few years with the heat of the HID's as I went through 2 sets before I switched to LED lenses...

Re: Headlight conversion
I did Hella H4 conversion on my yj several years ago. SOOOO much better pattern from the headlights than sealed beams.

Re: Headlight conversion
I'm currently weeding through my OE harness restoring it for duty and trying to figure out the cause of my voltage drops. I have +12v from a dedicated connection coming into the firewall, going into the fusebox, to the headlamp switch, out the firewall and straight delivery to the headlamps with low/hi grounds from the firewall sourced directly from the steering column switch. It looks like foglamps get their power from the low circuit. I might change that over to parking lamps just so I can make things brighter. I switched my low/hi combination lamps to LED but I'm still using factory brights and OE foggers. I've looked to J.W. Speaker for replacement units but I can't justify the price. Is it time to add a light bar?

Not for street use, but if you off-road only, sure.

Re: Headlight conversion
Thanks for the recommendations and info guys. I have recently been in contact with Susqehanna Motorsports in Pa and he has given me much more info and also suggested what would be the best setup for me. I am going to go with either the Hella vision plus or e-code bulbs (just have to check if the e-codes will give me any issues getting thru inspection) and a standard wattage h4 bulb.
