Default IPF or Delta Headlight upgrade?

Looking at the IPF H4 or the Delta Quad Bar. For those of you that run these. Pros and Cons for each would be greatly appreciated. Just cant take the stock units anymore.

Ran into a wrangler owner that has delta headlights and loves them. He said its a 100% improvement over stock.

I checked out the Hellas as well. "Anything"....I mean anything is going to be better than stock! I almost strapped my 5 year old to the bumper and had him hold a flashlight in each hand the other night.........

The Deltas are an improvement and you can get new bulbs to make them better. That being said I didn't like the output of the light as it did not spread as wide. Seems like you loose visibility to the sides and you notice it the most on dark roads. I had two sets on two different jeeps both had problems with moisture and I live in CO which is not humid even after messing around with the rubber seal more than once. Understanding they are more expensive if you really want to do an upgrade and not waste your money you may want to consider JW Speaker.

I had the Delta headlights on my '08 and couldn't tell a big difference. I'm not sure it was worth the upgrade cost.

I had the Delta in my 07 for about 3 months, replaced them with a setup from Daniel Stern. Was not impressed with the Delta. Traded off the 07 last April, ordered a JKUR a month ago (could not stand not having a Jeep), will be putting JW Speakers in that one. Have the JW in my Harley - world of difference for these old eyes.

Honestly I would wait on those. Unless you just want to blow that kind of cash on headlights. Do you remember when plasma TV's were so expensive when they first came out and now they are cheap? Give them some time to become affordable....
