Default Help choosing head lights and fog lights.

I have been reading a lot and hear how you can't see as far with LED, if you get the to blue HID's it's harder to see as far also. So my question is my wife has a hard time driving at night what is the best light out there rather it be standard bulb, LED, or HID head light and fog lights.

I would go with Phillips vision bulbs. Threaten look for an upgraded harness. Led and hid have drawbacks in the jeep.

X2, they have been great. Had them since October and are so much better than stock.

I live in montana and we get a fair amount of snow and my Truck lite leds have not been a problem and I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark and been in plenty of heavy snow and ice with no problems. I am amazed at how well they light up the snow covered roads. It is like driving in day light.
Snow and Ice have not been an issue so far.
