Default Opinions on IPF headlight conversion

Looking for feedback on these. Tired of the weak factory headlights but not wanting to spend the money on led's. Are these lights substantially better than factory and how do they hold up?

I was going to get those but I hear you still have to get better bulbs. With that added cost I'll be going with the rallylights hella ecodes.

I have considered those and also the Delta's. Looking for pros and cons of all of them and pictures if possible

The IPF are a great upgrade from stock. I switched them out to truck lites but miss them sometimes.

I dont have any pic's but i have installed the IPF kit, and it is by far the best mod i could have done...I just wish i would have done it sooner.

The light is whiter and a better beam pattern then stock...it blows the crapy yellow stock lights out of the water...if you asked me for normal driving (as in not towards off roading) what mod is most impressive i would, hands down state the IPFs....

I put the IPF kit in my 2011 JKU about 1 month ago. It is way better than the factory headlights, no question. The install is easy, and the results are instantly worth the price. But having said all that, I'm considering a different set of bulbs for these lights. I read somewhere on here that the Nighthawk Platinums (I hope that is right) are the way to go. So it sounds like you have to spend a little more to get the most out of these lights.

I have the IPF headlights as well and they are great. There a huge improvement over stock. Would definitely recommend them.

What us it about the bulbs the kit comes with that everyone complains about? Brightness? Color? Or do they just not last?

Any worries about the increased heat from these damaging the light cover or other parts?
