I need to replace the old headlights (housing) for my 98. What would you suggest? I'm looking for what will get me the best visibility for night driving. I'm looking at the diamond cut spydar headlights. I have a set of Piaa's to go in as well. Again any suggestions will be great. Thanks

Like said, ebay has several, get a set of clear or even projectors if you like those,

PIAA's and clear len's will be better than what you have now, HID's would be the best

My originals were faded so I replaced them with the Lightning style with Philips Crystal Vision Ultra's From Headlights Depot - same price as Amazon when factoring in free ship. I didn't want to mess with HID's, also painted my faded grill insert the body color at same time. Adding that over the weekend I did the fog lamp mod from an old thread on the Lightning forum so my fogs now can run while in the autolamp position. Surprising how much light these add, I don't remember picking up that much more light from the fogs when I had my Grand Cherokee.

With that combination did you see a difference with driving at night?

I replaced the projector style lights that the previous owner installed, (they looked cool but sucked in every other way). I picked up the Lightning / HD style and loved them. I put HID bulbs in them and they worked great. I know that others have said that you shouldn't put HIDs in regular housings, but mine worked great, you just have to aim them correctly.

+1 on lightnings. Got an awesome deal on mine on ebay, 95$ with free shipping. Mix those with some HIDs and I have great visibility
