Headlight Options??????
I NEED new headlights i can't stand the stock headlights. i want something that will be bright. some thing brighter than the silverstars. i wanted to convert the headlights to an H4 bulb.
Any suggestions on good housings? and where to get them? Should i go HID? or just upgrade the watts on an h4 bulb?

H4 with good bulbs and upgrade your wiring.

I saw on a Toyota forum a way of making the stock lights brighter. You increase the voltage at the bulb IF the voltage is low. in the example I read the guys lights where only getting 10.6 volts, but with a few relays he got it up to 12.6 volts which yielded something like 80% more light!
Not sure if it works on jeeps but it is an idea

IPF headlight housing with any h4 bulb of your choice is by far the best with a wiring harness upgrade

E-code lamps and H4 bulbs. http://naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=906034. Anything that is fake HID or labeled Crystal lens or Diamond Crystal is just plastic junk. Up grade the wire harness at the same time.

I have IPF's on two vehicles and Hella e-codes on another. The Hella's have a much better light pattern on high beam. There is not a lot of difference on low beam. The worst combination on high beam is IPF housings with the "Fat Boy" bulbs.
