Is there anyone around here that sells them or am I stuck going to eBay?

I am looking for some headlight bulbs to go in my projector housings. I had hids but they caused all kinds of electrical meltdowns so I stuck some halogens in there. I'm not happy with the halogens and I can't go back to regular headlight housings because you have to cut out the headlight panel to make the projectors fit

Yep. Or hit up Adam Fertig on facebook, in TriState Jeeps.

These are the housings. I'm guessing it was China hid stuff. Housings ballasts and bulbs were 150. Unfortunately I did my hid research after I had issues. I found out it takes a lot to get diesels to get along with HIDs. They ended up frying my injector module.

They were not tied into the factory system. Everything was separated but what I found out is the radio frequency The ballasts put out messes with the electronics. The ballast also pulls too much power on startup and the computer sees 0 volts. I tried running each light to a separate battery, both to one battery, both to the other battery, and both to the main lug on the fuse block. I heard it is a common diesel problem

Kind of. The hids were causing all kinds of goofy stuff. Once when I switched them on the throttle went wide open and stuck. Usually it killed the engine. Eventually the idm shorted. Maybe it was cheap hids but I don't want to deal with them anymore
