Help me decide what to get!
Well it's that time of year again, my birthday. My parents want to get me something for my jk, but Im having trouble deciding what to "hint" at.
My budget is around 300, but I'm willing to spend 1-200 of my own to cover anything more expensive.
Here's a few mods I've done to my jk(so no one suggests led lights lol):
LED cubes at A-pillar
Rigid Sr-q back up light kit
Led taillights
I have my eyes set on a pair of truck lite headlights, but I really want to know what the next best thing to get is.
Any recommendations would be awesome!
Thanks!

Another vote for the headlights...I love my TruckLites, but as far as which make/model/style etc. etc. that's your call. I'd put money out of everything you listed that you'll enjoy your headlights a lot more than the rest. (I just assume my tail lights work, never had someone tell me otherwise). Good luck and let us know what you decided to go with!

Nice choice!
In terms of the next best thing, there really isn't. The price of Trucklites is slowly coming down, which is good. There are more choices and styles available, and adoption is increasing. But in terms of different/better technology, there isn't much in the "production" hopper. Porsche/Audi are playing with lasers and trying to adapt them to make a workable headlamp, but I'm guessing that's still a few years down the road, and would probably cost thousands of dollars in the aftermarket, to start.
LED headlamps are still ahead of their time. Beam patterns might change from here forward, and companies like TL are now integrating a lens defroster to tackle the cold weather issue with snow/ice building up on the relatively cool lenses of LED headlamps.
