To be worth it, you'll have to decide if the cost is worth the difference in visibility.

Some years ago I upgraded to IPF lights (housing, and bulb upgrade). The housing concentrates the beam more flat, broadcasting it towards the center and taking away from light that would normally go upwards. It was a good upgrade.

H4 housings and a good quality bulb will be the best bang for the buck, LED is the way to go if you don't mind a a little more cost.

I highly recommend the Quadratec lights. Better than the Trucklites reviewed in that article (I used to have them). I can meet up with you some time if you want to compare your stock lights vs mine side by side. You can look at the photos here: https://www.delawareja.com/for…39996.msg327992#msg327992 for comparison shots I took, but photos are always different than real life.

Cannot be beat for the price.....I put these in my TJ and they are frigand awesome, plug and play, if you can change a bulb you can install these

Which housing did you install them in? Also, for use in a JK, they will require a pulse width modulation relay (anti-flicker adapter) to keep the LED bulbs from driving you crazy with flickering.

Installed in the KC H4 upgrade housings. Honestly am tickled pink with these, I had been riding the fence dropping big $$ on led headlights glad I didn't. The kit comes with control modules and fans, all plug and play, I'm not sure if anti flicker is controlled by this module but if you call them and talk to Jim he can certainly advise you as to what is or would be needed.

How about other drivers? Do you get anyone flashing you when you drive at night? I want to have better lighting on the JK but honestly don't want be "that guy" on the road is constantly ticking me off for having horribly dispersed light from their headlights. There's a black JK near my home in Felton that has just that problem. Looks like LED or HID bulbs in maybe the stock housings, LED above-bumper fogs, and then LED lights in the factory fog locations. Looks great from an angle and I'm sure they can see California from their steering wheel. Problem is they are blinding everyone that is anywhere near directly in front of them. Even worse is they probably don't even realize it and most likely absolutely love their new lighting choices.

You crazy kids and your high-tech toys.

Quadna, where do you see the JK at? I must have missed him at night!

After the install a few days later I checked the aim on my garage door at night, I had to slightly adjust them downward. I did drive several nights before adjusting, never had anyone flash at me. I don't know exactly how to describe the output. The amount of light produced is awesome , it's a more "white" natural light that disperses really well both ahead and slightly off to the sides. They are bright enough that they slightly "bleach out" my piaa amber fog lights, which use to yellow out my KC's with the H4 bulbs.. Like Jerry said earlier pictures do lighting no justice.

Bob, I've been really doubtful that an LED bulb replacement will perform better than a standard bulb in regard to getting a proper beam. I'd love to meet up with you for a few minutes one night to see how those really work.

Say when, these things are pretty impressive, definitely way better than the H4 bulb, there is no comparison. I learned about them from other "users" from the southern club. Multiple users that have the bulbs great reviews... they have one of the highest Lumen ratings for a replacement bulb @ 3200 per light which is all the more that it needs.

Best test is at night in a driving snowstorm.

I thought my HID's in H4 housings were great until then.

Couldn't see anything because of all the upward glare.

Those JW speaker headlights are the real deal. You should PM him I think he still has them

We have two different brands of leds that we use. On our 2015 we have the [size=0px]JW speakers installed. The wife loves them. On the 2005 i have the Quadratec LEDs installed. I prefer these over the JWs just because they get out further in front of the jeep. Dont get me wrong i like the JWs also. Never had any one flash me when in the 2015 and every now and then i do in the 2005 and as soon as i hit my high beams they shut theirs down real fast. I even have the 2005 driver side light adjusted a little bit lower.[/size]
