Default Headlights

I'm new to the forum, but my headlights are really dim. I just put new bulbs in and it almost didn't help. Any suggestions as to how I can make them any brighter, or change to something else, or add anything that might help?

Yup, they suck...

I enjoy my jeep but wonder why in 2012 (my model year) they don't have a decent headlight.

My answer was JW Speakers.

Welcome

TruckLite LED headlights. Those abolished my plan for additional driving lights.
I'll probably add lights, but for offroad only.

Welcome to the forum. This was the first mod I did on my '08 when Northridge made them available. I bought their kit and have been very pleased with the results. The Truck lites were too new and too expensive when they came out. There are many threads for replacement headlight options on the forum. Mine use an H4 bulb. I have a pair of Philips Extremes to use when the current H4's burn out. Before you make a change, try aiming the lights using Daniel Sterns headlight aiming guide (Google it). It may help a bit but will be no substitute for a new setup.
