Upgraded to H2 Headlights… now no high beams.

About two years ago I upgraded the wiring harness in my heep using the eautoworks harness. One of the best things I ever did to my jeep. Really gives you a ton more light. My Wife just got me some Rugged Ridge H2 bulbs for my B-day, so I threw them in this weekend. Could not really see a difference on low beam. Switched to high beam… and nothing, it turns the fogs off and lights go dark. Also, the switch seems to be having a hard time turning the headlights lights off. Have to do it a couple times for them to go off. Anyone experience anything like this?

I'll assume you have a 97+ XJ. If that is the case, then this may be related to a known issue. Read this thread for more info http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1056442

Sorry, 87ish XJ

H2 is a single element bulb. If you want hi and lo beam from them you will need to bulbs per housing. Your system should require an H4 bulb.

Well, that would definitely prevent me from getting high beams!
