Just upgraded from stock to trucklites and for $475 including anti flicker from rebel off road, the light output is amazing. The x pattern that gets thrown out is noticeable but you get used to it and it's not a big deal for me. I can finally see the road Infront and on the sides of me and that's what I wanted. Not to mention they just look bad ass

When you align the trucklites properly, the x almost disappears

If you're looking for something modestly priced (relative to other solutions) that will provide lighting more akin to what you would expect OEM to provide, the IPFs from Northridge are a great solution. On low beam they work especially well with a nice, broad pattern instead of that band of light the OEM's project. On high beam, they aren't quite as good, but they work. I just use the cheapest Sylvania Halogen bulbs I could find. I don't like funny colored lights--makes it difficult to see and I've compared side-by-side with the $80 bulbs in the same housings and the $20 bulbs I have provide better, if more yellow, light. JMHO.

For the best budget system, new IPF housings with Phillips extra vision/power bulbs. For the best bolt in product, truck lites.

$475 for a headlight upgrade I'm just speachless........Go with IPF and problem solved. $175 shipped including taxes and happy as a pig wallering around in s---. Might even have found cheaper with more searching.

I put in the Cibie lenses with Osram 80/85 H4 bulbs and an upgraded harness. Very bright and cheaper than the LED options. The only downside is after replacing bulbs a few times the cost differences disappear. LED option weren't out when I did mine and I've never seen one in person.
