Headlight upgrades

So I was looking for some ideas on round headlights for the XJ and came across this.....



Commander headlights on the XJ. I think they could do a better job fitting them. A quick question though, would a 7 inch round light fit the headlight housing?

Man, Johnny 5 FTMFW! Now I know why I like his headlight upgrade so much.

It really bothers me how much work that probably went into doing a front radius arm and rear four link with some type of coil suspension, and yet it's still running stock steering. That's just not right.

but he also did the (IMO) novice/pointless rear hood lift mod, so you cant really complain...he knows 1/2 of what hes doing and just has a ton of money i bet

Well this is the XJ that inspired me to think about a headlight upgrade. I was looking at the hella blackmagic driving light kit.

That is so sweet. But would they be considered street legal?

Well since the driving light kit is for street use I think as long as you had them adjusted right it would be cool but..... Who knows if they will give a good enough pattern to replace the headlights since they are suppossed to compliment them.
