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.
Thanks, but Oracle gets my money for their proper beam pattern.

Google for "DOT vs ECE Beam Pattern" for info on why its all about beam pattern.

Cant go wrong with the Oculus LED, by far the best option out there. Those paired with the Rugged Ridge headlight guards make for a mean looking jeep. Love Love my lights!!!

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.

I was also upset with the performance of the stock halogen lights. I just replaced the halogen bulbs with these LED bulbs that were recommended by many on this forum. No need to change the entire headlights, plus it was only $40. After two days, they're great!

The problem with swapping from Halogen to LED bulbs is the reflectors weren’t made for the new LED bulbs so while things might look brighter to the driver, oncoming drivers are negatively impacted.

Well designed projector lenses provide smooth light pattern. Coupled with internal cutoffs, you’ll protect oncoming drivers while getting highest brightness.

+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.
Hey man, do you still have ur Mopar ones for sale?
