Default HID drop in headlight replacement?
Just got my 09 JK, and took the H4 HID kit out of my TJ before I traded it in...

What bulbs do the JK's run? I heard H13?

Are the lenses ok to use HID bulbs in? Will they melt?

H13.

They won't melt. The original bulbs are 55W. For an equal amount of light output the HIDs run cooler.

What about fog lights? Could someone post a link to the exact page that fits the JK?

Thanks

H10 35W. I run the slim ballast. At the time they came with a lifetime warranty.

Thanks guys, I run DDM in my Denali, and love them... The Slim/Digital ballasts are the way to go..

grab the 6-8k for headlights and 3500k for fogs if you want yellow-ish ones.
