Lights

[xcaliber]

I have read threads about headlights and see various things. I have the projector style headlights and they suck!

I liked the HID's in my old jeep but I didn't like how hot they got and I have seen a thread where someone says they can melt the back of the headlights, is this true?

Also I have these phillips HIR bulbs in my jeep right now will these be just as good in the projector style headlights if I just got those?

I would give the HIR's a try. The OEM projectors head light run regular halogens and the HIR seems like it would make a difference there if not going full HID. Interesting, I haven't heard of HIR (Halogen Infrared) until you mentioned it and then did some inerweb searches. Seem like the HIR bulbs would be pretty efficient and more usable light output.

Why do they suck? I have the projectors in my truck and they work great

When I decided to change my lights was because I didn’t like the yellow color (it really suck) that’s true so I went and bought led lights for it . I got them at vanquish auto. They are bright and the best I was able to do is make fit the entire kit inside my dust cap (I’m in particular hate all wiring hanging out so these made my whole installation a lot easier.
Here is the website I got them from in case you need them.

I had the blacked out projector lights with halogens and yes, they sucked bad. I put leds in them and wasn’t really impressed.
I wound up getting TYC chromed lights with halogen bulbs. Waaay better output, mostly due to TYC low beam lens is a clear lens. The OEM low beam lens are a bit hazy.
