Seriously, why can't the old stockers actually last for a awhile. the big old heavy Sylvanias alway seem to go dim after a year or so.
I bought a conversion kits on Ebay about a year ago so I can run H4 bulbs but the reflector housing was so bad that it didn't throw any light at all. What a waste. I really want to switch over to a newer style bulb. Does anyone actually make a good reflector housing that will fit into our older style light buckets?

I like the "Hellas" they are not expensive & have lead crystal lenses.
They use H4 bulbs.

I like the "Hella Vision Plus" they are not expensive & have lead crystal lenses.
They use H4 bulbs. I've been running "Delta Xenon bulb" I bought at "Jeep Essentials". I've been running them for about 3.5 years without dimming.
 
I also am running the Hella conversion. Difference for me is that I run a PIAA bulb in mine, same as on my motorcycle. It is basically a 110/100 output bulb that draws that same as a stock 55/50 bulb, but has about double the output. Very bright and is a plug and play.
 
I just looked up the Hella Jeep conversion light set up. Not bad at $38.99 each. I am going to have to try those out. It looks like they have updated reflectors to make them just like current set-ups in new vehicles. Sweet.
 
if you want hid kits you need the h4 housing, its a simple thing to do you will see what i mean i just did a new thread describing what to look for in h4 conversions and hid kits with some helpful information. check it out msg me if you need help with it.
