So I'm getting new headlights but I'm debating on HID's or CREE LED's both kits come with everything needed 6000k HID's = $30 (just low beam) = $50 (Hi/Low beam) 35w = 3200-3400 Lumens 50w = 5000 Lumens (+$10) 25w CREE LED's = $150 3200 -3400 Lumens What do you guys think? We use the H13 bulbs HID's http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-H ... 35W-or-55W LED's https://www.customwheeloffset.com/custo ... g-and-play |

Well- since you asked - the right answer is none of the above. The headlight reflectors are designed for Halogen bulbs - something like a SilverStar if you try to put in HID or LED's - the light pattern will be off you'll probably have enough light for you to see more - but you'll be blinding the other drivers on the road. and odds are in California - it's illegal (course I think everything is) now adding those as extra off-road style lights would be great - just not as primary driving lights. |

I wouldn't use either of them to be honest. The HIDs should only be used with a projector housing. Not sure what the draw is on those led's, but I'll bet they're a lot less than halogens. If the tipm senses an under draw in current it shuts down power to the lamps. I'm running PIAA nite-techs, and they are waaaaaaaaaaay better than the stock bulbs

Both are legal in cali but I can't get regular bulbs because for some reason the bulbs I have now are taken over by even the street lights and aren't even close to bright, and I am always flashing people for their brights The LED's are 25w pull but come with the stuff to prevent power down I will check out the piaa's ATH |

Was it LibertyRS? I know he was on Jeepforum, not sure if he's on here. I think it was him that did it... |

A few guys have done it that I've seen. One of my customers in New York showed me pics of the ones he made. I don't think he's a member here

 There's this that I saw on Instagram. He's from LI, and from reading a few of his comments it might be ATH's customer. From the looks of it he bought them. I'll check his Instagram out more or just talk to him when I eventually find time. Edit: He paid $700. I don't think that includes him buying the Jet lights either so he can have his stocks in while those are made... |

It probably doesn't count his spare lights but I would make them myself I saw a guy do these but put halo rings behind the lens so the bulbs could still glow just not bright |

Here is LibertyRS's thread on retrofitting projector headlights: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=66886 The other guy who did this on a KJ was Infernicus. I think he sold his KJ sometime within the last year IIRC. |

Did he sell it? I haven't talked to him in a while. I know it was up for sale though. |
