SM6024J Headlamp Kit for Jeep Wrangler 2007->. Replaces H13 lamp with Hella E-Code H4 Headlamps
This is the kit from Rally Lights that is made for the Jeep JK 2007+
Just spoke with the owner and he was very helpful
I swapped for the 100/80 Hella Premium Xenon bulbs for more punch as suggested above.
$252.43 total including shipping, wiring harness and better bulbs.

Should I change out just the bulbs or get a completely new head lamps kit. I can already tell after having my jeep for a month that the stock head lights are crap. I pretty much have to drive with my fog lights on the see the road like I should.
Also, should I get new fog light bulbs?
What do you recommend? Who's got the best lights out there guys?

I know people out there like the H4 Headlamp conversion kit for a nice chunk of money,
But what about the lamps from Hella H.P. a H13 upgrade
or going with the PIAA H13 Extreme White Plus Bulb.?
I know these cost less than the H4 kits but more than the Sylvania SilverStar.

Do it right and replace it all.

On top of that, there is no such thing as a good H13 bulb, by nature, the H4 is a far superior bulb as it's low beam has a built in reflector to eliminate the glare even before the beam reaches the head light housing and lens.
As long as you go with Hella, IPF or CIBE, you'll have dollar for dollar the best lighting upgrade you can ever do to your Jeep.
Think about it, you can't use your off road lights with on coming traffic, and the JW Speakers are arguably only slightly better than the halogen conversion but are 6 times the price.
