![]() But like the JK lamps, they have plastic lenses that will eventually fog up and cloud over. He likes them better than the weak old original sealed beams. When I was done with the set I had on my test bench, I sold 'em to my across-the-street neighbour for his '74 Valiant. It is a poorer performer than the JK lamp, but again, it's safe and legal. ![]() ![]() Or use a set of Hummer H2 headlamps (a Visteon-made unit with a #9007 bulb, also sold by Truck-Lite with the adaptor pigtail) is also a direct swap for sealed beams. If you use the JK headlamp, use this H13 bulb. Use only original Chrysler ones aftermarket OE-style replacement headlights (all of them) are trash. A lot of JK owners hate those lamps and swap them out for good H4s scrounge around on the Jeep JK forums and you may find a pair of the JK lamps for cheap money. The current Jeep Wrangler (JK) has pretty headlights, and they are a direct swap in place of a 7" sealed beam (except for the socket, different for their H13 bulb than for the standard sealed beam or H4 type socket.you can get a good H13 socket here and a "looks like the back of a sealed beam or H4" plug from the same company here add a few bits of wire to create the needed adaptor pigtail), and they're certainly adequate, legal, and safe. If you are looking for a modern-appearing headlamp (i.e., with a window-clear lens and jeweled optic reflector): No blue/purple/other tint, which just blocks light that would otherwise reach the road. If you do try out any replaceable-bulb headlight, make sure the bulb has uncoloured clear glass. Off-brand H4 lamps (anything not made by Cibie, Marchal, Carello, Hella, Bosch, Koito, Stanley, or Ichikoh) are a bad bet. The human visual system is a rotten judge of its own performance it's really easy to create situations that make us feel we can see a lot better (or not nearly as well) as we think we can. ![]() Headlight performance is very tricky to judge…headlights that create the subjective impression of "wow, these are great" (or even just "yeah, these are OK") aren't necessarily good-or even adequate-for minimal safety performance. Next instalment of info (also posted in another thread but wanted to add it here for "one stop shopping") ![]()
