I bought some of these recently for my 01 XJ Cherokee and whilst I appear to be able to fit the main bulbs no worries (managed to blow one of the main bulbs on first use, and am hoping its just a defective product... refitted the old bulb and working fine) the side bulbs supplied don't appear to have any connections whatsoever to be wired up. Just the bulb part is supplied.

Anyone have any experience with this and any idea how to fit them?


Cheers

You have bought a pair of H4 Headlamp bulbs that will replace the H4 headlamp already fitted
Those other 5W bulbs may or may not replace your sidelight bulbs depending on them being the same fitting as what you now have fitted
You need to switch on only the side-lights and find out where those side-light bulbs are fitted, now remove one of those side-light bulbs and see if those new philips 5W bulbs are the same bayoney type fitting, if the fitting are the same you can replace them to get a brighter side-light, if the fittings are not the same you can give them to someone else that can use them, the 5W philips bulbs will give a brighter side-light but they are not really needed
