I've been reading/following threads on headlight upgrades because, well, I'm afraid of the dark. Anyway, I've noticed there is a common theme: BIG BUCKS!! I'm willing to bet no one here is into it less than $120.
I bought a new HID for my DDer and holy crap - $98 at the parts store. Now granted RockAuto has them for $60+shipping, but still, that's $130 just for the freakin' bulbs!
The most sensible upgrade for an XJ is to H4 housings but even then you have to upgrade the wiring as well, so you're into it for the housings, wiring and bulbs. The wiring can (should?) be DIY'd with wire and relays - and a lot of work...
To me the cheapest & easiest option seems to be just adding some sort of small axillary KC/LED lights to use on those wooded roads... (which I already have.)
So I want to hear from those who have done it: what did you do and how much are you into it?
* Don't bother posting if you are running HIDs in H4 housings - I fart in your general direction!
