along the lines of the headlights, are there any clear lense replacements for the parking lights and side markers that aren't from Crown? I just put a set of Crowns on and they have a very "silver" look vs. clear. Better than stock, but I'd like a better option (that's DOT approved).
I'm still on the fence about whether to choose the Truck-Lite's or the JWSpeaker LED headlights.....hmm.

Also its been my experiance that the higher wattage bulbs don't last as long, my guess would be that they run hotter and filliment just can't take the heat.
Also the pigtail harnesses don't do anything to deal with the power modulation system. The system turn off and on constantly which will also shorten the life of the bulb also.

I did Daniel Stern Cibie housing with a harness from Rallylight. Narva 100w bulb. It is night and day compare to stock. The set up was a bit pricey but super easy to install. I highly recommend this set up.

added phillips Xtreme bulbs
I just switched from the sylvania ultras to the phillips extremes and got a huge improvement in beam pattern and brightness. the original narrow pattern is now longer and brighter with a good cutoff down the road to not blind oncoming cars. I dont know how just changing a bulb can change the light pattern but it works.
I aimed them a litlle higher than normal and that created a gap in the pattern from in front of the jeep out to about 50 feet in front. I added Hella fog lights to my smittybilt bumper with H-3 bulbs and that perfectly filled the gap plus gave me some light farther out to the sides to give me more deer alert.
No oncoming cars are flashing and I drove at the jeep from a few blocks away in my sport coupe and wasnt blinded.
Happy so far.
