    I have 97 3.4 4x4 manual, the stock lights are not cutting it. Suggestions for upgrades holding off on a lightbar for now.

    You can upgrade the housings, harness, and bulbs and get superior light to say led options.

    Someone will post the link.

    Since you’ve got a ‘97 you have a lot of aftermarket options, most all 5x7/7x6 lights should fit. I recently picked these up:
    $90 HWSTAR Pair 180W 1000% Bright H6054 5x7 7x6 Led Headlights Compatible with Jeep Cherokee XJ Wrangler YJ DOT Anti-glare DRL Turn Signal Hi/Low Sealed Beam Ford Chevy GMC Toyota Nissan Dodge etc Black
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TQQSVRD
    and you have to get a harness adapter like this one
    $23 True Mods H6054 H4 LED Headlight Wiring Harness [Negative Switched Conversion] [Fused] Universal H4 Head Light Relay Harness Kit for 9003 H6024 5x7 7x6 4x6 Subaru Toyota Jeep Sealed Beam Headlamp
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6W1PMK

    I’ve been really happy with mine, super quick and easy install. They were a massive improvement from before, very bright so make sure you adjust them correctly or you’ll be blinding everybody.
