What is a great set of replacement headlights so that you only have to change the bulbs in the future rather than the whole assembly?

IPF H4 conversion from northridge, just put mine on. Puts the light where you want it and come with higher wattage bulbs. Much better than stock.

Um, you don't have to change the entire assembly on the JK; just get a set of H13 bulbs and they pop right in.

Get the IPFs from Northridge4X4. Seriously. Best bang for the buck. Anything cheaper is a waste of upgrade money (because it won't fix the terrible light pattern, and/or the light output is too dim), anything more expensive doesn't give as much bang for the extra expense.

I finally pulled the trigger on the Silverstars - put them in last night. Haven't done much driving but they certainly seem brighter

I put the Silverstars in mine a few months ago. I work grave shift so I am always driving in the dark. They were an improvement over stock, but still leave a lot to be desired.

I ran IPFs on my TJ - They were great. I see IPFs on my rig in the near future. Not to mention that there is a wide selection of H-4 bulbs on the market compared to the slim selection of after market alternatives for the H-13.

My MAG Lite duct taped to the hood would be better than stock!
