Thanks everyone.
In my case it was the battery. After i changed it the voltage doesn't go higher than 14 when idle. (thank god)
And now i can put my 100watt bulbs back :) So tired of stock yellow-barely lighting up anything-50watt bulbs.

By the way after changing the battery my immobilizer scared the c**p out of me. I suppose it decided that since the voltage dropped someone is trying to steal it and messes up with the electronics of the car and each time i tried to start the engine i saw the yellow middle finger in the left corner and no gauges would work till i disconnected the battery for several minutes. Then the engine would start, but next time i had to do the same f****ng thing again. Took the Libby to the service, they connected a computer to see the errors but no errors showed (shocking, since i disconnected the battery 100 million times that day) and as always at the service my dear friend started his engine like it was brand new and like nothing had happened at all, so i had to go back home and see if the mystery continues. Lucky for him it didn't.
So I'm alittle pissed off this weekend and alittle happy that after all everything turned out to be fine.
(the libby is still punished though :) )

There's only one shop here, that sells such bulbs, they are "Type R" bulbs, chinese or something like that, i've been buying them for more than two years, i had them in a wrangler (fog lights H3), in all my bikes (H4) and now in liberty (9007). The package says that it takes 100watts and the output is about 200-250. Everyone always says, that it's bull and that such cheap bulbs wont last (about 20$ for 2) but i haven't had any problems with them yet and they work great, everyone thinks i got xenon. The difference is huge when you install them after the factory bulbs, visibility is 100% better and the light is pure white.

p.s. Wanna go to Russia for those? :)

Here's how it looks if you're interested:

- The fog lights are Philips Xenon ultrabwhite bla-bla (not white actually, they're like factory, only alittle brighter)

- The lightbar has stock bulbs (awfully yellow)

- And the main ones are what i've told ya (here they look alittle blue, but really they are perfectly white

This is the packaging (ok, i lied alittle about the output power):

Inside are the factory bulbs (that's why they're white, not blue)

Hey all, I'm having a strange lighting problem also. my right side headlight, signal light, and brake light are all out.. my drl, turning signal itself and tail light still work on that side.. ive tried the basics such as bulbs fuses cleaning contacts, im not sure where the grounds would be however it would make sence that there causing the problem that is if they all run on the same circuit. If anyone has any info on this hit me up, it would be greatly appreciated
