In my Sport S max tow I first tried a set of American Modified I think they were called . Pattern seemed ok but driver's side adjuster let go first time I tried to adjust them so I did it with washers under the mounting tabs . I have a set of newer Black OE headlights I picked up for 600 coming today . I don't hardly drive at night but I prefer the quality of the OE's and I like the black as my existing lights are .

I’m looking towards Diode Dynamics, but a new contender just entered my sphere. Baja Designs DOT LP6. Both would be a noticeable upgrade. Both are kinda pricey. Weighing the pros/cons of each. If I’m going to do headlights I’m not just changing out bulbs. I want something that changes out the whole housing and does a few things for me at the same time. That whole boom for buck thing.

OEM LED's for the stability and the fact that they are a known quantity. In fact, I get a lot of people that completely assume I'm hitting them with the hi-beams. I've even had them angled down just a tad to try to minimize the impact on other people. No dice, so now if you decided to flash me to complain, I flash back. You can practically hear them going, "Oh."

Nacho JL/JT SAE Plug and Play Amber fog light kits (single or three piece bumper)
These have now survived quite a while in the freezing mud, ultrafine river silt and gravel-strewn roads of Alaska. They've been plunged and mucked and bashed and pinged. Still shining bright through all three modes. Check them out.

But that's just me. Build for your needs.

I know they are not legal, but so is tinting your front windshield, and I see A LOT of Jeeps around here with tinted windshields. Plus, I'm gonna double whammy the legality issue with smoked headlight covers too.😁
Just like driving at night with sunglasses.
