The pioneering work of McGonegal et al. (1982), originally employing random-phase data for the LMC near-infrared period-luminosity (P-L) relation, is refined to mean light and extended to the SMC using new observations. We use a procedure for reducing single-phase infrared observations to mean light to obtain JHK magnitudes for Magellanic Cloud Cepheids. The new <H> P-L relations are presented and discussed.
