Thanks Daniel Stern

I don't believe this statement. I used to, but after properly aiming my OEM headlights (they werent aimed right from the factory, and lifting only made things worse) I firmly believe they are more than adequate.

I've also seen where some had their OEM headlights installed upside down from the factory?!?!?!?! That couldn't help a thing. The biggest thing I am disappointed in is the lack of a horizontal adjustment with the headlights.

You must notta ever lived in Georgia. You can legally tint the first 6" of the windshield with ANY percentage you want as long as it's non reflective. There are states that allow full windshield tinting but follow strict guidelines as to what percentage. Google it.

I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cibies are way better,even with stock wattage bulbs.The stock jeep lights are the worst lights I have ever seen or used
The high beams on the cibies are the only down point about them(with stock wattage bulbs that is)its more of a spot beam so no real side coverage,thats why I got windshield lights
I am sure with brighter bulbs(I am using 55-60w bulbs at the moment and my wire harnesses from the crap deltas I bought) and the better wireing harness Stern sells will make the high beams alot better!

I have the lower wattage (70-65 I think) bulbs and am slap happy. Stern says they last much longer than the higher wattage and are almost as bright. You need to remember, it's not the bulbs, it's the lamps that make the difference. They focus light so much better than stock it's pathetic. Get the brighter bulbs if you want....just know you'll be replacing them about once a year or so.

I tried the Delta Quad bars- they were brighter, but worse than stock with the side illumination. So they were effectively unsafe. On curvy roads the light pointed ahead but where the road curved [where I was going to be] was basically dark. Fortunately, I got my money back within the 30 day return policy of Quadratec.
When I was waiting for the Cibies I put the stockers back in. Even though they were still not quite adequate, they had better side lighting.
Now I have my Cibies in and the Susquehanna harness. MUCH BETTER!! I can usually stay on low beam and as long as the road’s incline is level I don’t really have to turn on the high beams.
I got flashed once so far, and that was when I was heading uphill at a slight angle. The low beams are still really bright, but the sharp cut off line will prevent blinding oncoming cars as long as you’re level. And if, of course, you’ve adjusted the lamps correctly.
I am very pleased with this upgrade! Like others have said, if you drive any appreciable time in the dark, this is probably one of the first mods you should do!
It’s true…
