How can I get this?

this is a header panel for a XJ but it has twin lights. Im thinking of swaping this into my XJ (just to make it a bit different from the others) any pros or cons of doing this swap? I have a 93 XJ will everything bolt up?


Heres a pic

thats a wagoneer header.. i don't think you'll have any problem with fitting it up, but i see wire harness issues..... is the donor vehicle available to grab the harness?

No donor vehicle is not available. How does this 4 lamps work? the lower ones are low bean and upper ones are high beam? I will use relays to upgrade wiring, cant I just slit the power between the 2 lights? or is that a bad idea?

one more thing. would a regular header from a cherokee work with this? or will it not? can i just replace the lamp housing with the duel lamp housing and lamps? or do i need a specific header

I did just the opposite When my '88 Waggy got smashed. Just went into the barn and pulled of the header from a blow'd up '84. The only problem is the wiring will be slightly different, You have to cut off both plug ends and redo the connection. It is simple if you have a volt meter or a test light. Just figure out which wire turns on which light and connect them. I used but splicers and heat shrink to make the connections water tight. If you need any more help PM me.

when its done post some pics. Interested to see how it looks

As a rule, quad headlights consist of one two-beam lamp that works on both high and low, just like a regular single light, and a second that works on high alone. It's easy to figure out which one is which, since the high-only one has only two terminals on it. If you can't find the correct harness you should have no problem splicing in a second connector. Just use the original 3-prong connector for the two-beam light, and splice a second connector into the high and ground lines of that to the high-only lamp.

The headlight connectors on an XJ are pretty poor to start with, and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the originals anyway. If you cut off the old connectors, and get a full set of new ones, you can do a proper job with solder and heat-shrink tubing.

Whatever you do, though, don't just split the power between the lights, or you won't have a sufficient high beam. You must have them both lit for high .

Using relays would probably simplify the process and give you a lot better lighting too.

anyone know if there is an upgrade from thouse headlights? (ie; sealed beams to replaceable bulbs?)

Hella has upgrades for just about every size of sealed beam out there.

Those Wagoneer headlights are even smaller than the usual quad headlights. I've heard many owners complain that they don't provide adequate lighting, and I suspect that these quads probably do not have a dual-filament low beam lamp. However, I'm not sure on that.

It's such an unusual lamp that I doubt very much there is an upgrade to H3 or similar lights with replaceable bulbs, but you never know.
