Guys- I just bought PIAA H13 Xtreme White Plus from a local dealer here in Ottawa, Ontario Canada for $96 CDN tax included and what a change from the stock bulb.
it is much brighter than stock, very white and for the price that i paid it is freaking good- it does the job and more.
I was reading threads over here and people keep on talking about Daniel Stern and his solution. Obviously, if you want to spend $300+ USD , you are going to get an awesome headlight upgrade but let's be real here; i want my way to be bright and i am very very pleased by PIAA H13 Xtreme White plus and i am usually very picky.
anyhow - the whole upgrade took me 30 min to do, very simple.
So save your money - trust me you will be happy

Whiter yes, not tons brighter. Aimed my headlights lower so my high beams aren't up in the trees any more and that seems to have done more than the new bulbs. Still have this pool of darkness in front of the jeep due to the bucket design. I guess that's what the fogs are for.
The Patriots have the exact same H13 bulb and the pattern is 100X better. My wife has people flashing the Patriot all the time while it's on low beam.

The Patriot's headlight housing is bigger and not circular or vertical since the grill has a bit of a slope to it, so it would probably look funny. I also don't know how much would be attributed to the height difference, although you'd think the higher headlights on a JK would be an advantage.
I'll take some measurements or photos.
