99 jeep cherokee sport hid conversion kit?
i want some bright white lights for my jeep. im looking at 8000k which seems to be good for me but im so confused now that i have seen these angel eyes/halo lights things. i would really like to have those but i dont want to sacrifice brightness (if that is the case or not). i realize that i am going to need to buy a special lens and headlamp assembly to accomodate the new bulb because the factory standard for replacing headlights on my jeep is to replace the entire sealed lamp. im just so confused on what i should do to get hid lights. should i just get the hid xenon or should i go with the projector angel eyes lights. i could use a jeep professional here to lend me a few ideas and pointers. these lights are just so confusing. my question probably made no sense but any advice would be great.
First let me say don't do an HID conversion.. Second, they don't make an HID lens for a Jeep Cherokee. I know, I've looked. Those "HID Conversion Kits" that you see for sale for $150 or so are not legal. NHTSA (The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has, up to the writing of my source, had tested 24 different manufacturer of said conversion kits, and all were deemed to be illegal and resulted in recalls or termination of sales. Basically, your stock halogen headlights (even the conversion kits that are available from Hella, Rampage, etc. at places like quadratec.com, 4wd.com, etc.) are designed to essentially throw light everywhere for a wide range of vision of lower light. When you put a bulb designed to have a very focused beam pattern and a very sharp cutoff on it to avoid glare, into this housing, you get a very bright light that scatters everywhere, including into the eyes of oncoming traffic. It is this high level of glare that is why they are illegal. To do it right, you can do a true retrofit, if you want to go through the trouble, but that would require finding a perfectly clear lens, and lots of cutting and epoxy to fit HID projectors or reflectors into that housing. This can give the "angel eye" look depending on which projectors you use, but this is an expensive modification which typically costs about $450-500 per lens, or $900-1000 for a pair of headlights. If it were me, I'd just get an H4/9004 conversion housings and some higher wattage bulbs, and rewire the harness with thicker gauge wiring for the increased watt bulbs. That and get some KC or Hella driving lights and aim them right.
