Good luck with the headlight restore. Dad did that on the van great for about 2 months then 10x worse then before. We ended up buying brand new headlight assemblies for it.

So here is what I put in my jeep tj http://man-a-fre.com/pa/ipfx51.htm my headlights were brutal before put these in and there are the best!.... They are extremely bright but on low beam it has a cut off to keep the road bright in front of you but not blind any other drivers .

If the link doesn't work or you want to learn more hey are IPF X51 fatboys they are an offroad aftermarket bulb you won't find them in a store have to order them in ( I tried lots of bulbs before settling on this one never tried HID though)

Also make sure you DO NOT TOUCH any bulb before or during install this will lead to premature failure ,and if you do you need to clean it with alcohol ? I believe not quite sure of the correct process I just know not to touch it

Almost $100 for a pair of bulbs? Holeee. Plus, if they're for offroad, would that not make them illegal for on road? As far as aftermarket HID installations, I'm pretty sure at least here in BC, if it's not done properly, that is with the correct lens/projector, you are subject to a fine if you get pulled over. Might be a slim chance of that, but still.... you're blinding folks, not safe & risking a possible head on... Slow down a bit at night & don't overdrive your OEM headlights, meaning don't drive any faster than you can see so you're able to stop in time.
