Does anyone have pictures of a Liberty with HIDs? I'm looking to get a conversion kit, it seems the Jeep headlights put out the yellowest of yellow light :(.

ask tjkj2002. I know he runs something in a HID, might not be the factory holes, but I know he has some. VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Before you buy a conversion kit, be sure to check that your headlights have a proper ground. An insufficient ground will cause the lights to dim and perform as you describe. If that's not the case, then I would suggest looking into GE's Nighthawk line of bulbs. They are brighter and whiter. I personally would stay away from the blue tinted lights because I have troubles seeing some shades of blue. In my case, the brightest blue lights appear to be less intense than standard bulbs, which defeats the purpose.

Thanks guys, yeah I would be getting true HIDs not bulbs like posted. They're pretty expensive, but they're great. I've had the bulbs on my silverado and they just arn't worth it.

Yes I've done the kit.
Pros
doo doo loads brighter at night.

Cons
I did the bi-xenon, so high and low beam is HID.
There is a motor behind that pushes the globe forward/backward for hi/low.
This motor sticks out and the rubber cap for the back of the headlight needs to be inverted so it's like a cone to fit over it.
