it's not against the law in Georgia, and I would like to get mine to stay on with the high beams, it's not like I will be using high beams in fog anyway

the high beams on our jk really fail at lighting up the road

Maybe yours do, but mine work fine. Have you tried re-aiming them? The factory did a good job of making sure half of them were aimed down, and the other half aimed up.

Ours are aimed right, if you drive a car with real headlights, like our bmw's, you'll understand how much the JK lights fail

my favorite is when we are on interstate in traffic, and I cant tell if my headlights are on, because everyone else's lights are brighter and light the road in front of me

I agree. Our headlights, ESPECIALLY HIGH BEAMS, are the worst I've ever owned. E codes are in my future. Check out the thread on that or Dan Sterns web site.

Hmmm. Really? Good to know. Thanks. I seem to recall one person saying the went with Hellas and wan't thrilled, but it was just one and I don't recall him being very specific at all. Email Mr. Stern. He replies to them! he'll tell you.

Actually, I asked him about the relay that his cometitor makes for less and he said that while he wasn't sure of their pricing, that it sounded like it was a good deal/value etc. He's a stand up guy from my dealings with him (which, BTW, began 10+ years ago when I had a Mercedes and first learned about Ecode lights).

I would say that's inaccurate since Mr. Stern sells more brands than Cibie.
