Should probably throw the Peterson/KC in the mix as well. A newer player in the high-end LED headlight market.

Try to Google "JK Headlight Shootout" for some very detailed, fact based research on some of the main options available. It's on another forum.

I just ordered a set of the IPF headlights from northridge. Biggest determining factor was the price. Under $200 is a great deal.

I like my truck lites, but you can get KCs on amazon for $450 which has a little better of a beam pattern from what I've seen. For the extra $30(over the cost of the TL+harness) I would go for the KC

I have trucklites and they are nice. They still leave more to be desired IMO. I wish I would have gone to hid.

JW by far. Even spread, no hot spots. perfect. Pair it with their fogs and you'll be extremely pleased. Best money spent for a Jeep.

Got the truck lite for $417 shipped with harness from northridge4x4.com. awesome light and would never change it. With high beam on there is no need for offroad lighting at all

Yeah they seem to bridge the gap in performance between the TLs and the JWs for a marginal price difference. The link below is to KC's store on amazon selling them for $441
