I run Silverstar Ultra bulbs in my KJ. Decent improvement over standard imo. I ended up with a free pair when I found some in the trash at work. (Damaged box). Lucky day they were 9007.

Just a short quote from Lightforce discussing Blue/Purple hype:

"Contrary to advertising hype the trend towards even bluer almost purple color output beyond the 6000k+ range does not allow you to see further. INFACT IT IS COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE AND SCIENCE DOES NOT LIE! The ‘K’ (kelvin) rating is inversely proportional to the light output, therefore the lower the ‘K’ the brighter the light output. At LIGHTFORCE we choose proven performance over bling with no exceptions. Don’t be misled!"

In all my other vehicles I would put the PIAAs or Silverstars and they would burn out after a few months or melt the wiring harnesses. With my Jeep I havent touched a bulb since the day I bought it. Im at 4 years and still on all original bulbs. Why is it that I can buy a replacement OEM type bulb for $12 and it last 4 years but these ones for $40-$80 last only a few months??

I agree surfRenegade. I have 107K+ miles on my 2003 Renny and have NEVER replaced a turn signal, brake or reverse light. In fact, I've had to replace the reverse light switch twice, but not the bulbs! I've only replaced the headlights once in that time period. I'm not messing with anything :)

im on my second set of Hella 9007 lights in my headlights. the first pair lasted over 2 years. the left side lowbeam burned out on the first set. it might have been from the shock from sliding down the icy driveway into my friends house, it burned out about a month after that :lol:

but i am very happy with these lights. i put them in the day i brought the jeep home. they have a little blue tint, much better light than stock, but not blue enough to look stupid like a "Japanese vehicle" car. reasonably priced too. you can get them at Advanced Auto or Autozone

I put Silverstar Ultras in both the headlights and foglights, a huge difference in light output in fogs and low beams, but for some reason the high beams suck. It seams to disperse the light too much out and up.
