I’m on the road, about 1/4 way from FL to PA for a new job.

The halogen headlights on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sport JL stink. There I said it. :) Quite scary at highway speeds, to be honest.

I’m on a budget so I need to get this right the first time. ;) Meaning I’m not looking to get burned buying cheap Chinese fly-by-night “Haha too expensive to return” crap on eBay or Amazon..

Not looking for bling.

Not looking for “HALO”.

Not looking for features.

I want bright and I want even light pattern.

Found these two options at CJPonyParts.com...anyone use either of these who can confirm brightness and light pattern?

I’m intent on buying from a brick and mortar store, and CJPonyParts is along the route to my destination in PA.

Thanks in advance, hope I didn't step on any mail order sales companies. :)

Thanks for any insight.

+1 for Oracle... bright 'as eff' as the kids say. Cutoff is sharp, but some don't care for it. I replaced stock LED's with the Oracle Oculus lights.

Oracle is likely the best out there for the JL, but if you’re looking to spend less, search for Kiwi LEDs on Amazon. Lots of folks here like them. there’s 3 different models to choose from.

The Kiwi lights seem horrible from all the light pattern pictures I've seen here and elsewhere.

There seems to be so much focus on aesthetics, but what really matters to me is light pattern.

The Oracle Oculus Bi-LED headlights is the only one I see in this forum that seems to have proper cutoff.

Hey Don, the Oculus Bi-LED headlight will definitely be a great fit for your needs. (Thanks for recommending us, guys!) Having that great light output with a clean cutoff was really important to our design. You mentioned stopping by CJ Pony Parts; if they are out of stock, you can also order from our website with our forum discount and free standard shipping (which is usually 3-4 days to PA).

Let us know we can answer any questions for you in the meantime, and best wishes for your new job!

No thanks, but I’ll be happy to sell you the stock Halogens I’m removing when I install the Oracle Oculus Bi-LED. :):):)

I got the Qudratec LEDs. They are made by JW Speaker. I chose them over the JW Speaker because they don't have a halo at all. I am very pleased with the light. Not just the output, but the cutoff is really great. And they look great.

They are more expensive than the options you were looking at.

The cutoff is important, definitely getting the Oracle Oculus Bi-LED.

Just placed the order.
I should have mentioned that Quadratec is a forum sponsor and may be able to give you a discount. It may not be too late.
