I don't think there are any for the Jimmy :/

You could always convert to a Blazer front end in order to use the products available for Chevys

You can't get projectors. But for a cheap upgrade of lighting you can get these..
Amazon.com: Koshin 9006 Platinum White Halogen Light Bulbs 12V 80W: Automotive

Idk about them but they have a good review.

you can go this route. there is a tutorial i have found that goes through the process of retro fitting. it is pretty simple and looks like it is easy enough to do.

There are a couple issues with going this route...

1: those are fog lights and because of this the beam output will be less than ideal for a main headlight.

2: the outer lens for the Jimmy headlight is a frosted/textured/Fresnel style of a lens that is used to help distribute the light on the road.

I have done a lot of projector retrofits (used to run a side business doing this but ran out of time for it) and it isn't that hard to do with some of the newer mini HID projectors. Morimoto has a GREAT setup with mini projectors and either D2S or H1 bulbs. They are almost a drop in replacement for most modern bulbs. I say almost as you need to open the hole the bulb goes through a little bit, but once in they are simple to level and simple to aim.

As to the Jimmy.... Yea, Im rocking some silverstar Ultra's and running relays for power straight from the battery untill I manage to find a set of aftermarket housings that have clear outer lens's, but once I find them, I have my 55W set up already here waiting to go into them.
