IPF reflectors had the worst photometry of any reflector that I ever tested, scattered light in unrestrained fashion at about a 20 degree arc all the way around the bezel, and aren't even legal to use on the road in North America.

And you want to put an even more illegal rebased HID capsule into one?

Maybe I'm old, but Jeep people used to be known for native intelligence, for making modifications based solely upon performance, not for following trends.
I guess the allure of pop culture taints everything, interweb mis-information is prolific, and logic goes screaming out the door.

At least read this before you do it.

I have the IPF's with HID's. I don't want to get hilldweller all fired up but when I stand in front with the heads on , all iI see is normal headlight light. There is a horizontal cut off line that projects and below that line is where the intense light is. Isn't that the same as the regular headlights are suppose to be? I don't get flashed and the only ones I feel bad for are the imports that are only 2ft off the ground. I try to stay back a bit from those cars if I catch myself in time. IMO the scattered light is no more and way less intense than what the stocks were.
