No offense but I tried every bulb out there, and then I spent a good chunk of chalk on the whole IPF's kit from Northridge and yes they made a small difference...

took a chance on the truck lites and the difference is way better than anything else I've tried, by far!

in my experience there is no comparison between IPF's and truck lites...

well worth the investment.

Between 2 jeeps, I've gone through 2 sets of Hella's, HIDs in stock housing, a set of Cibies (with Halogen and HIDs), projectorhid.coms and the TLs that I'm currently running. The Hella's were a 100x better than stock, but still not quite there (keep in mind I'm anal about lighting, and do a LOT of night driving where there's lots of wildlife that'll write off ones jeep). I was always skeptical about the TLs until one of my buddies got them... took his jeep for a drive one night... ordered mine the next day.

Just an FYI... a glass light (Hella's Cibies, etc), DRL and deep mud puddles do not mix. I cracked the lens in a set of Hella's and the Cibies this way. Last set of Hella's are in my porch as I pulled them in favor of the TLs.

I also would pass on the IPFs. Go read the headlight thread on jeepforum that Hildweller did (light testing, comparisons, etc). If you're going to go with a halogen headlight, I'd stick to Cibies or Hella's (wildly considered the top two choices - I personally preferred the Hella's over the Cibies, and they're cheaper).
