Jeep Hid Conversion

HID conversion on a jeep?

I'm in need of replacing the sealed headlights on my jeep wrangler YJ (square headlights). I was thinking instead of getting sealed headlights i'll get projectors headlamps with hid lights seeing as i have two ballast handy, i have mechanic that would do all the wiring and light pattern adjustment. i was wondering the legality of this conversion in the united states.

These are the projector i'm think of using

Well, first off, that's a fake HID kit, not a real one. A real HID kit would cost you upwards and beyond $1000 to do right, because real HID lights require real projector lenses and must be automatically leveling. All the Ebay HID "ballasts" just give an HID "look" out of a stock housing. That just means that you will be a danger on the road and technically isn't legal. Those housings are called a projector, but they still throw light every direction just like the stock sealed beams did, the only difference is the styling and the fact they use a replaceable bulb instead of the whole thing. Putting HID ballasts and bulbs in that just means you will cast more light in every direction, which can blind drivers coming at you and cause accidents. That is why all of these aftermarket HID kits are illegal, because they are not OEM equipped. OEM equipped HID's have a very crisp cutoff of the light, and when you put on the high beams, the beam itself just changes angle, raising it slightly, it doesn't change in actual brightness. So I would recommend going to a good housing, and use good 9004 NON-HID bulbs over that HID conversion honestly. Here's examples:
Fake HIDs - look at how the light scatters on the right picture.

Bug Out Vehicle- Upgrade to HID headlight



Can you use a HID conversion kit if you have halo projector headlights? Will it make the halos any brighter?

I bought these halo projector headlights for my 2004 jeep grand Cherokee limited. I want to know what will happen if I get a HID conversion kit. It's 8000k HIDs. Will it make the halos brighter? Will it make the LEDs brighter? Someone please help me!!!

Put those illegal 8,000k lights in and you will have less usable light. The higher temperature you go above 5,000k, the darker the light, until you eventually reach black light.

5,000 k approx 3,200 lumens
6,000 k approx 2,800 lumens
8,000 k approx 2,550 lumens
10,000 k approx 2,200 lumens
12,000 k approx 2,100 lumens
