    That dark zone right in front of the XJ drove me nuts so I went back to Halogens. Also the whiter light from the LEDs doesn't punch through the fog as well. The blue-white light reflected a lot more light back at me than the Halogens did.

    I put the same head lights on my xj a couple of years ago !!! They’re good !!

    Those are the exact same lights we put on my XJ. I really like them. Before I could hardly see at night with the stock lights. Huge difference! The only thing about them that I don’t like is when we go wheeling in the snow they get covered and don’t melt. But you probably don’t have to worry about that 😃. ❤️🐞

      yeah, I saw your video on them you did a nice job. Your, not the only one that said the same thing about the snow, I never even thought about it.

    I did a set of these on my s10 cameo. Like yours, I had a black grill. I like how they blend in better.

    Ok, I caved and picked these up. Arrived yesterday and as Martin showed it is plug and play. I have a 99 XJ and had already rewired with new harness and was running an H4 conversion. The H4 conversion was way better than stock. I put the LED headlights on and wow...it makes the H4 conversion look like candles. The cutoff is nice and visibility is so much better. I was worried about the dark shadow you can see in the video but I really do not even notice it when driving. Good upgrade. I'll get another set for the other XJ.

    One-way light makes a good kit for the xj if you want to swap all your other exterior lights for leds. Good looking rig sir 👍

    Nice video. Definitely going to order a pair. Currently running led bulbs in a glass housing but they're beginning to flicker. My wife has something similar in her TJ and they are ridiculously white light. Makes My led's look yellow haha. Can't wait for the upgrade.
    Thanks

    Love your vids. Those new lights down flood the area like the hellas you switched from. That 5000K is about the limit, any higher and they start becoming that VERY offensive bluish light. Cheers.

      It is a Bpi but, they stopped making bumpers years ago. It's too bad because they made a great bumper.

      @Eric Babcock That is similar, the section as it curves around to the fender is different, mine comes up higher at the bottom for more ground clearness.

    I bought a pair of these in December 2020, and I noticed that my radio has EXTREME static problems when the headlights are on. And I mean, SEVERE. If I take the stereo receiver out of the dash it's perfectly okay, but when its in the dash, headlights are on, either low or high beams it doesn't matter, I lose all of my FM stations, inability to search channels etc. Headlights off? No problem with the radio. Any idea? I've tried ferrite cores etc. It just seems like a problem with LED lights.

  • @brynnond.6952
    @brynnond.6952 4 роки тому

    Not sure if the rating on those headlights are accurate because there is no way 110 watts of LED’s can be cooled with such a little heat sink on the backside of the headlight module. I’m sure they would get insanely hot on the high beam at least.

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  4 роки тому

      The 110 wattt rating is based on incandescent light output.

  • @paulkaufman4901

    Are the lights still working well? Any issues? Would you still buy these if you needed to replace lights on an XJ?

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  Рік тому

      Yeah, the lights are still working great and look great. I haven't had any issues with them, and yes, I would still buy them.

    • @martinbuilt

      I would try swapping the headlights and then see if now the driver side does not work. And if so I would return them.

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  2 роки тому

      No need to upgrade the wiring or add relays as the LED lamps have a low AMP draw.

  • @rperron3439

    Hey Martin, question about these lights. Bought same ones and installed them on my 2001 XJ. Bright af. But I noticed even when my headlight switch is all the way off, the led headlights are faintly ON. Do I have a ground issue? Thanks in advance.

    • @martinbuilt
      @martinbuilt  3 роки тому +1

      That's odd, you may have a ground issue.. I had a similar thing happened with my grand Cherokee when I switched all the interior lights to LED they would faintly stay on and I had to add a a 1K resistor Across the ground to positive of one of the led lights and this cured the problem.

    I own those and all I can say is mine dint come with instructions, low beam is very good and cut off is good but high beam is very shit , berly any diffrence , over all Hella H4s are better , lead glass and high beam makes a very good diffrence u got wide and range the only negative thing on those is that I can’t find anything that’s brighter like now I don’t need a light bar or spot lights , those do the job
