Replacement Halogen Bulb Suggestions?

[MountaineerTom]

Cool beans - let me know if you would. Not only do I want to re-do the old MBZ, but I am now the official new owner of an '06 TJ!

Here you go...

Thanx much. Looks like a success!

I need to replace my headlights as well. Am I correct to assume the JK assemblies bolt right into the TJ wth out having to make modifications ?

Reading this thread I see 89grand said they are a plug and play but Vasg said you need a jumper I have a 99 TJ Sahara. Does anyone know if I need the jumper ?

The JK uses H13 bulbs. You'll need an adapter from the existing harness to the H13 base.

Thanks. I would think they are fairly easy to geo on amazon or the parts store.

It's a decent cheap upgrade if you're getting a good deal on the JK lights.
For a little more, you could do the Toyota light & harness upgrade.
After that, I would go with some Hella housings.
The good thing about all of these is you have more bulb choices.

Yes, something like this.

I am going to replace TJ lights with JK lights. I assumed I would need to replace the complete assembly that holds the light in but after looking at some videos it seems like the JK lights fit into the TJ light assembly. Can someone who has done the swap straighten me out on this.

Yes, it's just like the video.
It's a simple swap, the JK light housing fits where the TJ sealed bulb sits.
No extra parts are needed to hold the JK lights.
You will need the plug adapters though.

Sylvania H6024XV Xtra Vision sealed halogens work real well for me.

By "sealed halogen" you're talking bulb only correct?Totally underwhelmed by the bulbs that came with the Toyota setup. Yup, I did the harness as well.

Will all of the H4 bulbs mentioned in this old thread work with the Toyota housings. Totally underwhelmed by the bulbs that came with. Yup, I did the harness as well.

An H4 bulb is an H4 bulb. They're all the same size and shape. Get the Hella 100/ 80 watt bulbs.

I edited that out after seeing how dumb the question is .

Might grab whatever the parts store has (Sylvania silverstar probably) but will look for Hellas as well.

The Sylvania's are halogen sealed beam complete headlights.

USPS lost my first order.
2nd order box labeled 60/55 with USP code 100/80 but bulbs 60/55. Dang!
Yet another set will be here Friday, supposedly.
