Default Headlight help

I'm looking to put some different headlights on my 2008 unlimited but I'm having a bit of trouble deciding. I love the look of the halo lights but it's hard to find any, and the ones i have found are for 98-06 model years. Any help would be great and if you have any pictures of your JK with them please feel free to post them.

Thanks!

I put the IPF headlights from Northridge 4x4 in my 09 unlimited a couple of months ago and I love them. A lot brighter than the stock headlights. It was easy and took less than an hour to install.

Somebody did a write-up that you can see on this site:

Not Halo lights, but the H4 upgrade to the Hella H4's is a HUGE improvement over stock. rallylights.com

I think I'm sold on doing this upgrade as well. The stockers blow goats when it is super dark out.

Yea swapping out crappy stock headlights is the first mod i did on my 09..actually thats the first mod ive done on all my vehicles..i live in the mountains where theres lots of deer and no street lights so i consider bright lights a necessity..i went with an HID kit..cost about $140 and these things are super bright last easily 2x longer than halogens and draw less power to run..i did a thread before and it has a couple pics you can check out

My truck-lite LED lights should be here today so I'll post up my feedback on those.

They came in right after I posted! Got them installed in about 30 minutes. Absolutely perfect. One I bought these off a fellow forum member with the harness already spliced in so install was a breeze. These are just cell phone pics wedged in the garage. I'll get some more later tonight when I can adjust them too.
