I'll contribute a bit here.
Watch out for the units imported by Crown Automotive. They are commonly the
"cheap OEM alternative, etc" but are _not_ factory. I replaced one headlamp
with a unit and about a year later ripped it out and replaced it with an OEM
unit from buymopar.

If you need lampst to last a couple of years then they should be fine, but
if you want to actually fix the problem watch what you buy.

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
For perspective, have a resident of Tokyo explain their philosophy.
I've know several quite wealthy and influential Japanese men who
retired, sold the big mansion (didn't need it anymore) and moved to
very modest houses. Their requirement was to have some sort of
lawn/garden and high walls to isolate themselves from the neighbors
just a matter of feet away. They all claimed that the isolation was
required to keep that many people in that small a space civilized.
Think I'll go contemplate my puny quarter acre a bit...
I'm with on Spain, tho. I loved the people and culture.

I've know several quite wealthy and influential Japanese men who
retired, sold the big mansion (didn't need it anymore) and moved to
very modest houses. Their requirement was to have some sort of
lawn/garden and high walls to isolate themselves from the neighbors
just a matter of feet away. They all claimed that the isolation was
required to keep that many people in that small a space civilized.
Think I'll go contemplate my puny quarter acre a bit...
I'm with on Spain, tho. I loved the people and culture.

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
For perspective, have a resident of Tokyo explain their philosophy.
I've know several quite wealthy and influential Japanese men who
retired, sold the big mansion (didn't need it anymore) and moved to
very modest houses. Their requirement was to have some sort of
lawn/garden and high walls to isolate themselves from the neighbors
