Best headlight upgrade for a TJ that does not require new wire upgrade?
I have read all of the recent posts about how awsome the IPF lights and fatboy bulbs are but then on top of that 150 you have to upgrade the wires foranother 100 so what is the best upgrade for headlights that does not require a wireing upgrade as well.
Thanks

Hella Vision Plus conversion headlamps. I should be receiving mine in a couple days.
Here's JP Magazine's review on aftermarket TJ headlights. http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticles/electrical/154_0710_jeep_headlight_shootout/index.html |

Hella H-4s and a good quality H-4 bulb. ~$75 including shipping from fleabay and they drop right in.
Use a stock wattage bulb and the light increase is significant with no additional wattage draw. The increase is due to better beam pattern and focus not just throwing more light down the road.

While the wiring upgrade is a nice touch, its by no means required for the IPF conversion. I've been running them for well over a year with no issues. Looks, however, like the price went up as I believe I bought them for $130 shipped from Northridge back when I upgraded.

X2 on trombino's experience. I run the IPF/Fatboy combo with stock 99 TJ wiring and they work GREAT.

I don't know what the big deal is with IPF's and fatboys, I installed Delta's with Silverstars and am quite happy with them (at a lower cost might I add).
http://www.quadratec.com/products/97009_111.htm with Silverstars from my local auto parts store is good, I have had many compliments on the set-up in the California Deserts.

Silverstars are a VAST improvment over stock. They really are extremely bright. Looks more like aircraft lighting (which I have experiance with) than automobile lighting.
