My experience with the IPF headlight conversion
Sorry no pictures, if you do a search you will find plenty of before/after.
With the factory headlights, I was like this

Then I finally got the IPF headlights. I first used the blue IPF bulbs that came with it. Then I was like Cyclops. I could tell there was more light then factory, but it was all blue, and it didn't help with the snow on the ground.

So I adjusted my headlights down a little, still didn't help since they were emitting blue light.
So I picked up a set of Sylvania Xtra Vision bulbs today. The Xtra Vision slot in between the regular replacement bulbs and the Silverstars. They aren't as bright as Silverstars but brighter and whiter then regular. Plus, no blue tint. So I felt like

I drove around tonight with the Xtra Vision bulbs and didn't get flashed once.
For those that are still on the line about upgrading your headlights, do it! It's worth the money! I can finally see the road and street signs. Now I actually feel safe driving at night.

I never even bothered with the blue bulbs. I bought the cheapest bulbs that Sylvania makes ($20 a pair) and there was a dramatic improvement over stock. A couple months back I ran side-by-side with Interceptor_1972 who has the IPF blue bulbs, and while it was obvious the light was whiter from his Jeep, it was also obvious that it was easier to see the highway with my lights. You do not get $40-80 worth of improvement from the more expensive bulbs, IMHO. And the cheap bulbs match the stock fog lamps in color temp. I wish David/IPF would sell these without bulbs and just let us pick up our own.
When I used the IPF blue bulbs, I could hardly see anything with them. The Sylvania's improved that a 1000x. When looking at the headlight, they seemed bright. But when looking at the road from the cabin, I was not impressed with them. I know Northridge now has the option of going with either the blue or white bulbs.
Here's Sylvania's light output chart

I don't know how close IPF blue bulbs are to Sylvania Cool Blue, but to me they were nowhere close to each other in the light output.

No issues with my blue bulbs and are very bright IMHO.
