Oh well misread
I have two new sets in stock somewhere in my mess of parts , both are NOS
Only reason I guessed right was the OEM MOPAR reference. Honestly, I would be looking at LED headlights if I needed new assemblies.

You should see the motorcycle parts lockers in my garage. :/ I need to spend next spring/summer clearing the stuff out. They'll never be used by me again.

Today's modern Sylvania ZXE are a huge step up in performance.
Excellent projection/white & bright.

I put Philips NightGuide Platinum bulbs in mine and I’ve been very pleased with them.

Mine are poor, I've cut and polished the lenses but they don't last, was talking to a guy who works sprays cars, he said he could clear lacquer them, I'll take him up on it in the spring.
Tried different bulbs and anything legal here is very similar to standard to be honest.

I thought I read somewhere where Led lights were a no-no in KJ’s due to them blinding other drivers??

LED lamps with multiple chips don’t work with the reflectors in stock headlights. They’re designed to work with a single point source of light, the filament.

Hijack: What kind of bike parts ****** rider?
Sorry, missed this. Some HD OEM stuff left from my WG build, a few assorted bits from early Hinckley Triumphs. Lots of helmets, jackets and gloves. Gerbings gear got sold right after the bike liquidation. Still have a fully customized Suzuki 1990 DR350S on the lift slowly going back to stock. Had installed RM250 suspension front and rear, one hell of an upgrade.

Oh, three Givi bags 2@35l and one 50l and a Givi Wingrack from a ‘96 Daytona 1200 with the OEM muffler drop adapters.

For Biff - I rechecked the availability of LED headlight assemblies. The only one left is $600 for the set, so ignore my old advice.

All my junk is older than your shiny new bike stuff. Always on the prowl for Norton, Yamaha, and BMW bits.

Only one BMW owned, a 2001 R1150gs. Put nearly 75k on it in three years roaming the US. :) All the spares went with when sold.

@Biff

If you’re adventurous and cheap, these are very similar to the ones I used on my Harley with success. Decent cutoff to not blind oncoming traffic too. Seller claims compatibility with our KJs.
