The replacement bulb for the Liberty fog lights is 9145, but that part is more difficult to find than 9005, which is very similar. This project describes how to modify an 9005 bulb for use on the KJ.

Review: Sylvania SilverStar 1/29/05 Stars5.gif (1046 bytes)
Recently, Sylvania released a new line of headlamps, called the SilverStar. Still based on a Halogen design, the Sylvania claims the SilverStars are brighter and whiter than run-of-the-mill Halogens and almost as bright as HIDs.

The most important message to take from this chart: Whiter light = shorter life (unless you invest in HID).

Sylvania SilverStar Headlamp Bulbs (9007ST) By Sylvania 1/29/05 Stars5.gif (1046 bytes) Write Review
"SilverStar® is whiter light, closer to the color of daylight. Whiter light helps you see better at night. And if your night vision is better, night driving is safer."
Be sure to shop around...some auto parts stores charge $50 or more for a pair.
NOTE: SilverStars will NOT last as long as OEM or standard aftermarket halogen bulbs! Most users report a life of 6 months to 2 years.
Vendors: eBay 30.00 Hot Price: This is probably the best deal you'll find. This is the lowest "Buy It Now" price I've found, with $2 shipping. You will probably be able to get an even better price by bidding...maybe under $20 shipped. Be careful not to pay too much for shipping.
Auto Barn 39.90 Site apparently sells single bulbs ($19.95). Price listed is for 2.
Bulbman 39.90 Website shows price for 1 bulb @ $19.95, but bulbs are sold in pairs.
Reviews: Troysterr Update: I've had these installed for 3 years now, and they still work great. I can't say why others have had them burn out so quickly. 1/1/08
Troysterr Just installed, and they look really good, but I compared a Silverstar to a stock bulb (installed one Silverstar, then turned on the headlights), and there's not a huge difference. Apparently the stock headlight bulbs are pretty good. Still, the Silverstars are great bang-for-the-buck compared to more expensive alternatives, like PIAA. 2/21/05

Low-cost alternative to Hella, KC, etc. A LOST member bought these and put them on his basket--they work and look great.
If nothing else, these would be great to mount under your Jeep for night-time rock crawling.
Vendors: Harbor Freight 16.99 Hot Price: This is probably the best deal you'll find.
Reviews: FreedomKJ The cheapest offroad lights out there, but they're very bright (100w each lamp.) Nearly impossible to aim them properly up and down, but a good deal for about $15 and well worth it if you just need some light. 8/5/05
