    I need to replace one of the headlights on the old jeep . it seems all i can find is the halogen and silverstar headlights. can the original 66 wiring handle a halogen or silverstar bulb? I figured I would ask before i fry anything like the wiring or generator?
     
  2. i have halogens in mine w no problems

    cool , i just didnt want to throw them in without checking. it still amazes me that it is so hard to find an old standard round bulb.
     
  4. if the wattage is the same or at least close i dont think your Jeep will know the difference:)

    Put in a relay to help with the higher power, if you think its necessary. I used replacement sockets, and upgraded the wires with a relay to run some hela lenses with some off road 100/130w H4 bulbs. No need for other Offroad lights. They work Awsome.
