You won't find diddly squat here, they are only used in the PT Cruiser and the WJ's.
Ebay is your friend in this case. If anyone wants the info, I've got a good contact for bulbs on Ebay who hasn't let me down yet...He's in Georgia.
The loom is harder to find due to people refusing to ship overseas but I finally found a guy who does. That guy is in California...
How are the sylvanias? Are they the silverstars? The grand cherokee owners on JU dont seem to like them.
Is the loom a plug-in ready to use type or is it more like Go-jeeps version and needs assembling? I dont seem to have a lot of time at the moment for fiddly projects.
MRGC - what brand of globes have you ordered?

Yep, Silverstars. Remember, most of the guys on JU have tons of choices that we don't here. I've had them in for almost three years and haven't had a problem and they make a huge difference. I bought them on a trip back to the States.
The loom is a plug in type. I was blowing the low beams but then I finally found someone to send me one and have not had a problem since. Cheap and easy fix.

I had a look at upgrading and it was all too hard at the time (due to availablity) & I ended up forgetting about it. Cpage66 - Could you PM me the bulb & loom links as it sounds like you have done all the hard work (thanks).

Just one question about the bulbs though. One prob I remember is that since the headlight lense is polycarb you need to be careful about uv output. I assume since you have been running your bulbs for a few years that you have not had any deterimental effect on the headlight lens?

NAh, no problems with the lens...I'll PM ya' with the info later today. And they can beat Nick on price. Nick IS a nice guy but has so much going on sometimes he "forgets" things.
