Installing SYE and CV Driveshaft on a Jeep Cherokee XJ noblogo.org
One of the most overlooked connections in this entire process is between your newly smooth driveline and your Jeep Cherokee XJ headlights. It seems unrelated, but hear this: a lifted XJ that sits higher in the rear than the front—common after an SYE conversion if you don't correct the stance—throws your headlight beam angle into the trees or directly at oncoming windshields. More importantly, forum veterans have long warned that upgrading the electrical system is essential when modifying an XJ. The factory headlight wiring lacks relays, and if you install higher-powered bulbs without a relay harness, you risk burning out the expensive and hard-to-replace headlight switch. An aftermarket wiring loom with relays draws power directly from the battery, reducing the load on your switch and delivering full voltage to the bulbs.
