if your rig is RHD ( i think it is) it will have hella's stock. the american ones have plastic ones. i just changed my bulbs to philips supreme vision +80%, it makes a bit of a difference but not as good as the projector HID's. if your wanting them screaming lizzard customs makes a nice set, but a bit pricey for me at the mo. other conversions include the Daniel stern upgrade- cibies and bulbs. if you search some of these things youll find alot of threads about how S*^T the stock lights are.

they only come on the US jeeps. for this reason they are only for LHD. also i think youll find that they might look better but they wont be nearly as good as the ones you already have. are you wanting the looks or are you looking for better light output?

sad but looking for looks over performance ! have fitted some KC lamps on windscreen brackets so get good long range performance from them so will be lucky to find any that will fit a UK model then ?

im sure that they would fit but they wouldnt give you a Euro beam pattern (raised on the passenger side) but i think they give you a relatily flat cut off. also they use h13 bulbs instead of H4's so some wiring and possible some modification to the housing would be needed. not worth it in my opinion. although i did want to do the same thing when i first got my JK as they do look a bit better. do you like the look of these? they would be real neat HID projectors .
