Title: Which headlight bulbs for 2004 Cherokee
Post by: Simon J on September 07, 2010, 04:23:54 PM
I've just acquired a 2004 Cherokee and need to organise some spare bulbs for an upcoming European trip. The hand book says they are 9007 QL which seem also to be known as HB5. But these seem to be almost impossible to find on line and I'm wondering if in fact the bulbs actually used are the more common H4 or H7. I'm thousands of miles away from the Jeep so can't pop out to the garage to look for myself. So can anyone confirm what bulbs are used?

Thanks,

Simon J

H4 or H7 bulbs may fit, but the wiring will be different as in the Grand Cherokee, the headlights don't have covers
so need waterproof connectors.

My 2005 Liberty / Cherokee KJ uses H4 bulbs.

Thanks, guys. I decided to call my dealer long distance and they told me that it uses HB4 9006! Which is different again! Methinks I may just wait until I get home to the Jeep and have a look for myself.

I finally got to have a look at my 2004 Cherokee and  can confirm that, despite what it says in the handbook, it does in fact use regular H4 bulbs.
