Hey all...My name is Sarah and I am new to this forum stuff... I have a '92 jeep cherokee laredo with a 4 in lift. Its my baby! But then again...so is the mud that comes with it! lol..andy ways....I was in checkers drive-thru and I was talking with my BF and I am not really paying attention but catch the back of the caddy in front of me lighting up and going to dark I am like WTF so as I am looking at it I notice my headlights are turning off and on by themselfs????? could this be a relay?? the headlights are already very dim and have water about a 1/8 inch pooled up in the bottom of the lights. I was going to get H4s after my lift and tires but it as been pushed to the front of the line so I was thinking of getting the silverstars anyone have this how good do they work??

Hi Sarah....

Having water inside *sealed* beam headlights oughta be your first clue. Water and electriciy get together and all kind of wierd stuff can happen. Me, myself and I would start by replacing the headlights... and since you plan on getting the high zoot H4's, save your money and get a set of regular halogen replacements.... a lot of those claims on the box are just ad-speak since by law (USDOT) US headlights are limited to a maximum wattage. It's the quality of the lens that has the greatest influence on how well a headlight functions. I would also check the connectors for the headlights; clean 'em good by squirting the contacts with some PB Blaster or WD40. If this doesn't improve your lighting, then there may be other problems to be addressed.
