I love my Led lights. I believe if I didn't get them I would have buyers remorse.

I think they're worth it but they're WAY over priced in my opinion. I'm not getting them for my JL when I order it. To many other things that money could go towards.

Have them and lov..ed them until the left side just stopped working after 4 months. It will go back to the dealer for service later this week. I will say I inquired what the cost is to replace the turn signal as i originally though that was out. $324. for one turn signal. I picked myself up off the floor and walked away before asking about the headlight but I'm gonna assume it is in the same ball park.

I have LED lights on my Audi. I will never go back to HID or halogen. The difference driving at night is amazing and they should last years. I ordered a Sahara for my wife and the LED lights were a must. Also got the cold weather package. If I'm going to spend the money, I might as well get the necessary items or I would be kicking myself down the road. Sure, there are knockoffs, but they don't have an FCA warranty.
I have LED headlights on my Audi SQ5 and they've been a mixed bag honestly. They're wonderful go up a mountain canyon at night and it is crazy dark *but* that quickly turns to a nightmare when the snow starts to fall and I'm suddenly blinded by the snow getting lit up. I'll be curious to see how the LED headlights work out for people on the Wrangler since there's more separation height wise between the headlights and the driver's eyes.

I would check to see if your lights are aimed a little high if you are having difficulty when it is snowing. I have had to lower the aim on my SUV wi and one car, both with HIDs due to the same problem and that did the trick. My A6 with LEDs has been fine in bad snowfall so the factory must have gotten it right. Some of the folks with the led lights on their jeeps have said they are getting flashed by oncoming drivers. Their lights may be aimed a little higher that they should be. Worth checking, but then again when it is really coming down there is not much you can do anyway.

Oracle LED bulbs 190 bucks. Good reviews so far. Can keep original headlight housing and switch back to non LED if needed. I’m getting ready to order them. My 2 cents.

One issue I have with the led headlights on the JK is that they cover in snow if its sticky wet snow. They dont put out enough heat. A set of heated headlights is something like $500. Knowing that if it wasn't base equipment on my jk I would have gotten halogen from the factory and put heated ones in later. If you don't see much snow though probably a moot point for you.
