Thanks for all the suggestions I'll look at the options and decide what is best for me.

I do agree that the stock headlights suck, but I really can't see spending that much money for Headlights. The cheapest are the truck lites. I can spend that on other more important off-road parts. So I put in H4 IPF conversion, and Phillips bulbs. It was better, but I still made a harness so now I run 110w bulbs. I got the normal color bulbs, because I really hate those blue/white lights. I can't see how taking away the yellow & red light helps you see better.

It comes down to budget.
under $60 gets you new bulbs in the old housing
under $200 gets you converted bulbs and a new housing
under $500 gets you better bulbs better housing, and a wiring harness to bypass the TIPM
closer to $1000 gets you trucklites or JW speakers

Has anyone tried Olympus Zeus led bulbs? $110 a set. I know a guy that got them for his ram. He said they r bright. I want to hear it from a jeeper though. And they also have the led bulb for the fogs as well

For those of you with the Trucklites...

I've been looking into the Trucklites. I do a ton of small two lane highway driving at night. Are they bright enough that you have to deal with people flashing their brights at you to dim your lights, or is it not an issue? I would like brighter lights, I just don't don't want to go blinding everyone or have to deal with people hi-beaming me for no reason.

Thanks.
