Me and my Grand Cherokee live in the mountains of Bulgaria , and travel on some very poorly lit roads in Bulgaria , Poland Russia and Ukraine . . . Quite often there are no cats eyes , no white lines , no edge lines , huge potholes and all manner of wildlife leaping out of the bushes at you . . . On main beam the lights are good enough , but when i dip them i can see very little . . .Part of the problem is the fact they dip to the wrong side as i still have English lights in the car , but getting a set of LHD lights won,t improve them that much . . . I did buy a set of brighter bulbs at Halfords while in the UK , but my mechanic friend in Poland assured me they were the wrong ones as Jeep has some strange Jeep only bulbs fitted . . . Can anyone tell me what i can fit to improve the standard set up , and can i get any brighter bulbs or lights to fit in the under bumper spotlights . . ? Not too worried about the legal aspect , as anything goes lighting wise out here . . . .

Some LED fog lights mounted low that you can keep on all the time and not only on high beam seem like a good idea.

I'm sure you could also find some 100w bulbs if the wiring is up to the extra load (I don't know the setup on a WJ)

You can ignore the links to the rear bulbs, they're all the WRONG fitment ! (Yeah, I was a knob an ordered wrong type. Any links for front lights are good to go. )
You can get some daily inexpensive LEDs that could
 be used as DRLs, a mate uses  these on the side of his Disco for night searches with KSAR.

I keep reading that H4 bulbs are fitted to the grand Cherokee . . . Does that apply to the 2003 4.7 model . . . Anyone know . . .?

I also read you can upgrade the spots , some better bulbs on Ebay . . . don,t know if the wiring will take it . . .we shall see .. .?

Good thing with the LED conversions is that they use less power, hence not straining your cabling.
I would assume yours has H4 bulbs, as it's a pretty standard fitment - pull 'em out and have a look.

I wouldn't assume it has H4 - take a few minute to check one. I haven't had a WJ but my Grand and most newer vehicles use smaller like H1 or offset connection types like H11

My 04 has HB4A and HB3A bulbs for dip and main.
They appear to be like hens teeth......

Should be able to get HIDs to replace one of both.

I shall take the lights out and have a look . . . .

Looks like i might have to take the engine out , not much room in there . . .

Must get a manual . . .

I replaced my dismal lights on my 04WJ with HID's - absolutely fantastic!!

Take the lights out and fit the ballasts to the rear of the light on an upright - I thought the lights were 2005 & 2006's

Anyways - they make a fantastic difference - however as the lens is not a projector type the other car drivers may have issues

[Wildrover]

I will have a look for some of them . . .
