Look like TruckLite (Not sure if that's the proper light for our Jeeps - was just a quick amazon search). Sure light up the road, but be warned that they're useless if you live somewhere with a good amount snow.

Rust-preventative coating. I like the light oil varieties like Fluid Film and Krown. Mist the insides of the tailgate, doors, and rocker panels too.

Weathertech mats everywhere.

High quality LED lights all around. Don’t cheap out on the headlights, or you’ll blind everyone on the road. These are decent.

My .02 worth for ya..... Go in this order instead of jumping right into a set of LED headlamps.

1 - Upgrade the wiring harness.

I installed a Putco harness in 2013 when I first got the XJ and it was a definitely improvement.
Putco 230004HW Premium Automotive Lighting H4 100W Heavy Duty Wiring Harness and Relay

Other folks have gone the eBay route, and I bought one of these on a whim (because it was stupid cheap) just to see if the quality was worth it.
CERAMIC H4 HEADLIGHT RELAY WIRING HARNESS 2 HEADLAMP LIGHT BULB SOCKET PLUGS 7

Ended up not installing it because I had other things to work on instead of replacing the Putco harness that was working fine. Overall though, the quality was surprisingly good and I would have used it if I didn't already have the Putco harness.

For all the negative comments people have about the Putco upgrade harness, it's still working fine a little over 3yrs later. Knock on wood, of course.

2 - Get a set of H4 housings. I bought these off Amazon, but there are other reputable brands out there which work just fine.

GENSSI DOT H6054 7x6 Inch 200mm Headlights Pair with Bulbs Non-Sealed H6014/H6052/H6054

These came with some crappy OCONUS-made no-name bulbs that sucked balls and were immediately thrown in the garbage.

I went to my local PepBoys and grabbed a set of Sylvania SilverStar "Ultra Halogen" H4 bulbs and threw those in the housings.

Holy shit, #1 & #2 were an incredible upgrade to the shit stock XJ headlights.

If you're looking to stay right at or a hair under $100 that's the way to go.

Last year, I came into some $$$ and got it into my head that I wanted LED headlights. Went this route: Truck-Lite (27450C) Headlamp

Wow.

Significant difference from the H4 bulbs + wiring harness upgrade but I'm honestly glad I did the H4 bulbs + wiring harness upgrade first.

Now that said... In hindsight, the LEDs weren't absolutely necessary and I could have put the $$$ into a SYE or something else.

But hey, ya learn as ya go. Right?

They are the LED headlights from Truck-Lite. Here's the Amazon link:

Edit: Just realized you weren't asking what the headlights were. Well, here's the link for anyone who wanted to know anyway...

Nothing factory can really match a light bar, or a portable sun as I like to call them. But LED sealed beam replacements, especially if you are willing to pay like $300 for a set of these, are really damn bright.

What is your budget?

One other option you might want to look at is LED headlamps but you need to buy ones that have a distinct cuttoff for on-road use. I recently bought these cheapos that do not have a cut off hoping that I could make due but really I found you should never use those on the road since they are basically just an ultra bright flood lamp so I removed them.

As far as updating to better bulbs and a new housing I don't have experience there but I think you also have to factor in an upgraded harness too...

u/ultradanknugz · 2 pointsr/CherokeeXJ

Thanks for the info! Got any pics of them lighting up the road?

Found em on Amazon for $180 a piece:

Great question! I got a multi-part answer for you:

----

Part 1: What kind of headlamp does your E250 have? If you know, skip to Part 2.


Before we can start evaluating LED options, we need to know what kind of headlamp your Ford E250 has. If it has the sealed beams, then it's extremely, extremely easy to upgrade to high-quality LED headlamps.

If it has the 9007 bulbs, then things are a little different.

So, do you have sealed beams or replaceable bulbs? You have sealed beams if you replace the entire headlight, glass and all, when it burns out; you have bulbs if you pull out a bulb when the headlight burns out.

If you don't know take a picture of the headlight and post it here; we may be able to identify it.

----

Part 2: your LED upgrade options if you have sealed beams:


If you have the rectangular H6054 sealed beams, these are your best LED option. Here is an Amazon link.

If you have the round H6024 sealed beams, these are your best LED option. Here is an Amazon link.

I pretty recently switched to Truck-Lite LED headlamps, which are complete units that are super energy efficient, bright as hell, pretty heavy duty, and are wired for our headlight plugs. They're pretty pricey, but I pulled the trigger on them on Amazon knowing I could return them if they weren't worth it. So far, they've been the most useful day-to-day upgrade I've done. They make driving at night actually pleasant. They're really incredible, though no photos online do them justice.

Here's an album with some photos of my front end:

And here's a link to the truck lites on Amazon, which are currently for sale for cheaper than I scored them.

Let me know if you've got any questions about them :)
