BiXenon Headlights

Has anyone retrofitted their headlights or used a product thats out there? Reviews? One of the best upgrades I did on my 3 series was change out the headlights to bixenon HID from the bowl headlights.

I was looking at the morimoto sealed7 but I guess they were discontinued last week.

Here's a short clip of the light output from my bimmer. Would love to do the same for the truck we're building.

Re: BiXenon Headlights

Here's a headlight swap. Jeep headlight housings apparantly bolt right in, put whatever lights you want in them or go with aftermarket housings. Actually have this saved in my favorites as a reminder of the things I want/need to do to my truck.

Dad actually bought these to do as an upgrade. I bet they are an upgrade over stock but I don't think they have the throw a projector has.

Re: BiXenon Headlights

Well like I said you can use an aftermarket Jeep headlight housing. There's a bunch of them with halo/cat eyes, I know there's projector versions, just gotta find one you like. Or use a stock Jeep housing and cut it up for a projector from another vehicle if you're capable of doing that sort of thing. The Jeep housing would be way easier to fit a projector in than a sealed beam that's for sure.

Re: BiXenon Headlights

Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-current are what's listed in the link I posted. I suggest having a read of it as there's other info there as well. Here's the link again.

Those look kind of cool! Is that lens plastic or glass?
