The headlights are next on the list. I stopped at a NAPA store in Canada hoping to find better headlights, so I wouldn’t hit any wildlife on the highway in the dark, since I like to drive all night . I was hoping for some driving lights but they only had floodlights that bolted onto the bumper. After jamming the hot wire into the high beams and finding a screw for ground, I had augmented high beams with LED floods. The Alaska highway through Canada isn’t lined with streetlights or reflectors of any kind, so the floodlights were great for seeing the entire roadway and all the wildlife that prefer the warmer pavement at night. In Jeep vs herd of elk, the Jeep may finish with the wheels on the ground. In Jeep vs bison, nobody wins. The floodlights kept me out of the hospital and the bison off the butcher block.
Now that I’m home, I’m looking for some LED headlights. Are the $400 headlights 400% better than the $150 headlights? My TJ is a daily driver to take me around the rural areas of Fairbanks as a Realtor as well as Jeeping to some great photographic locations. I don’t need premium for that extra 5% of light. Anyone have good results with $100-$200 LEDs? I don’t need Halos and such, just solid headlights.
