Default Headlight question.. IPF VS Delta

Looking to replace headlight on a JK and wondering if Delta are better or same than IPF. I've seen a couple of good review about the IPF but nobody seem talking about Delta.. Somebody have tried Delta or IPF headlight ?

I tried the Delta fog lights and they were very cheaply made, rusted out in no time, very cheap hardware and one bulb lasted only 3 months after the install. I have the IPF headlights, very happy with them so far.

As for the fogs, I put the OEM ones back in with Silverstar bulbs and haven't had an issue since.

Nice to know but the Delta fog light cost something like 30-40-50 $ right ?

Those headlight seem well constructed at 160$ but you may be right.. But actually the Delta look better than the IPF if you click on the link i've posted on first post.



Somebody have tried thoses headlight ?

I also thin the Delta lights look better. I am hoping there performance is as good as the IPF. I think they should be since it also includes the H4 bulbs and adaptors. I think i am going to buy the Delta healight upgrade kit tonight. I'll let you know how i like them.

Seriously post some pix before and after Delta.. on road and pix of the front with headlight ON. You can swap 1 headlight and take a pic of the stock and the delta at the same time too.. that would be awesome. !!

Let me know, im very interested to see those pix. !!

Just recently had both headlights replaced due to condensation in one of them and they are now producing a much better flooded beam.
Previously I would have to turn on the fogs just to get some 'fill in' light on unlit roads, now its not too bad at all.
Does anyone know if the lights have been changed, what are they like on the 2010 models ? mines a 2009 CRD April build.

Actually, that could explain something.. I've got a 2010 and the stock light are not so bad at all.. Everyone aren't stop complaining about the stock headlight and I dont know why because my stock headlight was pretty good.

If somebody could put some light on this point, that will be nice. Is the 2010 headlight are different that the "older" model ? IMO, on my 2010 JK, headlight was not so bad at all. I don't know why it seem to be a major concern to eveybody but if they had changed something in 2010, thats maybe a good reason... Mine are totally acceptable and good for driving with or without fog. But yes, like every JK owner, i want to upgrade everything that could be upgraded..

They're both substandard. IPF hasn't certified their reflectors for on-road use and conforming to DOT or ECE standards; Delta is made by some obscure outfit in Poland.
Take a look at Cibie, Marchal, Hella.
