Re: More light from an XJ?
 
Hi Carl,
The relay that controls the fog lights is in the Power Distribution
Center box next the battery. It's position should be marked on the
cover. Bend over number one so it will not make contact.

Not in Ohio. In Ohio, it's perfectly legal to run high-beams and fogs
together, as long as there is no on-coming traffic.

Re: More light from an XJ?
 
I just installed a pair of H6024XV, Sylvania Xtra-Vision, Halogen Headlights
on my '06 Wrangler.

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...isionProducts/

They seem to be brighter than the Wagner Halogen Headlights that came stock
on my '06 Wrangler. They also have a better light pattern, throwing more
light to the sides and foreground.

I had Sylvania Silverstars on my '02 Wrangler, and these Sylvania
Xtra-Vision seem brighter than the Silverstars. It sure seems like they have
a better light pattern than the Silverstars.

According to the Sylvania website, H6024XV are 55/65 watt bulbs. The
Silverstars are 45/55 watt bulbs. The Silverstars are "whiter" but the XV's
seem to be brighter to me

Here is how you do it in a Wrangler. Not sure if this applies to an XJ.
