Default After market HEADLIGHTS? Recommendations?

Anyone have experience with after market headlights?
Love my JK, but the headlights suck after coming out of a BMW 5 series with XENONs.

Truck-Lite's!

Edit: Your two "best" options are Truck-Lites or JW Speaker.
Both can be spendy, both light up the night.

I have the JW speakers and love them...but I'm sure for a little less the Truck lights are just as good . It all depends on what you like ...some people don't like the look of the JW's ...I personally do!
Subjective ...find what you like and try them. Only you know what you will be happy with. I put mine on a credit card because I really wanted them ...pricey but I'm glad I did. I am also in the 50 and over category so sight at night is detrimental .
Just wanted to add I had an Audi 08 3.2 TTr that had the bi xenon which adjusted to where you steered the vehicle so coming to a Jeep I really wasn't feeling the headlight or lack there of!

Contact Tom at HIDProjectors.com and have him build you a custom set of headlights. Best investment I've made so far. I came from a BMW 3 series and my HID's now are just as bright in comparison but have a much sharper/colorful cutoff line.

I have truck lites. Good low beam and wicked high beam. Nice wide pattern as well. Great for trails.

I had the TruckLites for one week and ripped them out. The had a really bad X pattern in them and I wasn't impressed with the beam pattern. I tried to avoid spending the type of dough I had to on the Speakers, but I switched out to the Speakers and its not even close. The only thing that sucks about the Speakers is the high beam is almost non existent. When you click over to the high beams not much happens. I never really need the high beams and only use the lows because they are that good. They are expensive but worth every single penny over the Trucklites. My 2 cents

I vote jw. They are pricey but to be able to see at night the price is worth it. Also, I like the way they "look" over the trucklites, but that's just preference.

Another vote for TL's. Night and day improvement over the stock headlamps.
