The first thing you'll want to determine is if you're willing to fit 7" headlights with adapters, or invest in 9" units that match the factory dimension.

If accumulating snow is also a concern, consider LED headlight assemblies with integrated heating elements*. Otherwise, snow, ice and/or slush will likely accumulate on the lenses, possibly to the point of adversely affecting your forward vision. The halogens presently in situ on your Sahara actually solves that issue. Just something to keep in mind.

*At least one forum member has documented a malfunctioning heating element that began to melt the headlight lens itself, so caveat emptor.
I live in the land of -40 and snow blizzards. I have never had any problems with my factory LED headlights not staying clear.

There's also been a mild change to the LED tail light aesthetic.

2022 vs. 2023

LED headlights can be found on jdm cars from all around the globe, but it's most common in Japan. It is also starting to become more and more popular in the US and Europe. LED headlights are slowly but surely making their way onto cars in the US, but they are not as popular as they are in other areas. However, they are still very cool and are very well worth the price.
I’m very happy with the LED lights on my early 2023 JLUR-XR. I did have laser lights in my BMW but that thing was pretty sweet too.

Had some sweet Bi-Xenons on our Infiniti G37 w/ some projector upgrades from theretrofitsource. I prefer those over LEDs, at least all the LEDs I've dealt with :)
