If the mood strikes you to change out the headlights in your standard XJ, I offer this advice...
Spray every screw liberally with PB blaster or something first... See, as I found out, the headlight area likes to accumulate mud, and lots of it, which in turn leads to rust, which in turn leads to the screws breaking into tiny bits when you attack them with a screwdriver, which in turn leads you going to Birmingham Chrysler Jeep and getting new headlight hardware because your old sealed beams are fused forever in the original hardware... And that, my friends, will set you back a pretty penny...
So again, before attacking those screws, spray them with some kind of creeping/penetrating oil, because the heads will strip and dissolve like butter otherwise with minimal force, the torx head adjusters as well...
You have been warned.
