Bulbs are lot more advanced now than they use to be and the right ones have a really good cutoff and do not scatter light if adjusted properly. I have auxbeam led bulbs in mine and they look great and have really good cutoff and light output that doesn't blind on coming drivers. I use to be a no no for doing leds in a halogen housing but after seeing a number of jeeps running them locally I was sold that they are way better now than they use to be.

Offroadledbars.com has a set for 350 or dv8 sells knock off factory style lights for under 700. I'll be going flex era 3 for my fogs when I get my motobilt crusher mounted up.

I have Audexen from Amazon. The look is very similar to factory LED. 145$ with the current coupon on Amazon.
I can send you pictures of my setup

Did they require an adapter since they're 7in vs 9in?

I've been running the Oracle Bi-Ocluar for some time now and they have worked very well at a reasonable price

Until I put in the DD headlights I had been running auxbeam bulbs for over a year. I was actually pretty pleased with them and I never got flashed. They had a surprisingly good cutoff.

And of course they were worlds better than the shitty halogens. I don't know what it is about fca but both the gladiator and my previous ram 2500 halogens were the worst headlights I can recall having.

The high beams didn't do much and I was starting to see flickering, which is mostly why I decided to upgrade.
I'd been looking for oem led for awhile, but they are expensive even used.

Yeah they are a lot better than I thought they would be and I don't get flashed either. Had mine installed for about 2 years now and they have been solid

For the price I definitely should have just gotten a new set lol, but I caught a good sale on the headlights.

I was also shopping for a small light bar that would have been at least $300-400 anyway.

I just purchased the Oracle Oculus BiLEDs and they work pretty well. No complaints

Sorry all, I thought they were the Auxbeam ones it was Beamtech brand when I looked back at my Amazon history but those are the ones and they are the same ones in the picture and the ones I currently have installed. I provided a link. My mistake on the which brand it was, been 2yrs since I bought them
