Replacement driving lights recommendation
 
Hi,
I am done with the OEM cheap rusting expensive driving lights on my 95
Country Cherokee.
Any suggestions on a light that will not crack, rust, and look fairly stock?
Not looking for a fortune in cost either.
The damn OEM's are cheap cheap cheap and expensive.
Also any idea what the original amperage is? Dont want to have to run new
wires...

Thanks

The amperage varies according to the bulb. I like my Hella's and can
run a 50W or 100W or bigger even.

Crack... Well, 'all' of them will crack if you are dumb or forgetful
enough to go through water with them on as I found out... :-(

If you are just trying to replace the stock headlights (not sure that
is what you are going for or not) then i recommend these:

http://www.jeepersandcreepers.com/cl...php?prokey=438

I have them on my TJ and are a MAJOR improvement over stock. The Fat
Boy bulbs are a dramatic improvement over stock as well.

if you are looking for auxiliary lighting, then i'd recommend these
guys:

They are focus-able and WAY bright ...

good luck

Thanks,
Will try to go with Hella 500's for driving lights, hope they fit the stock
bumper location as it looks tight...
