Did any of you have the same problem? In case, how did you solve this issue?

Thanks a lot.
I have 9 HIDs, CB works fine with them on.

Yeah, blinding people is cool. And since they're illegal, you can wear your hat backwards in the gangsta style without being a poser.
And blue lights aren't just for lowered imports. They're phatt on Jeeps too. Yo.

Wow, nice post troll. Very helpful. You have obviously never driven a jeep at night to know how much the stock lights suck.

Well, HIDs in a non-HID projector will blind oncoming drivers and scatter light everywhere, regardless of how you have them aimed. HIDs are not designed to be used in reflector-based headlights that are not set up that way from the factory.

I have HIDs in my car, but I've ordered cibie h4 units for the jeep.

If you're wanting to go with HIDs, do at least a proper retrofit.

i agree, stock lights suck a lot!
i put HIDs in and man what a difference it makes. i used to drive on the highway all the time. having the HIDs makes your eyes less tired and makes night driving much nicer.

it seams like the light reflects better off of the reflective sighs much better backing everything easier to see. it also is nice in the rain, you don't get that wierd effect like your lights are off when the ground is wet.

my lights are pointed lower then normal to account for the brightness. I have never been highbeamed in the 2 years i've had them installed. and they ambient light they through off is still very effective.

everyone who drives on the highway or dark county roads should have these.
