Rebel Offroad sells a really sick pair. Soon as I get disposable income, I'm snagging them.

The rears, can do LoD for round tail lights. Or go to superbriteleds.com and can get replacement LED bulbs for just about every stock bulb in your JK. The replacement LED's lock into existing sockets.

v-leds.com has great customer service and awesome bulbs. I have some of their 6k 9w reverse bulbs that are blinding bright.

Did u need to buy anything else for these or are these plug and play.....The backups are anemic and I've been looking for something that would be brighter. They look great in pic! Also are you using them in stock housings?

Thanks, yes these are plug n play. Just replaces the bulb. $49.99 + 7.99 shipping. They're a single led in a machined aluminum billet housing for cooling, with gel dome covering led on top. 6K 9w. I tried to point a couple other members in the right direction, but seems V-leds may have stopped making this bulb, I sure hope not, love these. People have been finding one in a 6K 11W though, might be brighter. V-leds seems to have helpful customer service, email them and ask them for a link to their brightest reverse bulbs.

Headlights are hands down Truck Lites.

Project-JK.com - Jeep JK Wrangler Resource » Truck-Lite Jeep JK Wrangler LED Headlight Installation Write-Up & Testing

There is a comparison there as well between the old style truck lites and the new ones and compared to stock.

I have completely switched over to LEDS, changing out every filament bulb I can with LEDS.
The headlights have been changed out to Truck-Lites, fog lights with Vision-X and I have switched out the tail, marker,, dome and cargo bulbs, turn signal and even license plate bulbs with LEDs from superbrightleds.com.

The process took some months, but it is the best change you can make. Worth the time and money just in the longevity of the bulbs alone.
