I have the Holley's RetroBrights...
Tried two sets of cheap Chinesium LEDs, then the Toyota/Koito H4s and finally settled on the Holley's. That was about two years ago. Zero Regrets
I wanted to stay period correct but with a brighter, 5700k output.

I've got the RetroBrights too. If I had known about the Toyotas first I would have done that and saved some $

Pattern is great. I hated the warm temperature.

And on another note what would I use to brighten the fog lights. Maybe with a yellow bulb? If I need to get a new housing that is fine but I want it to still look oem. I saw online that due to the reflectors it won’t be much brighter. What I want to do this jeep is OEM+ lol

I have a yellow H3 bulb in the Hella driving lights. No brighter. Just more yellower.

I went from Toyota to the summit LED.
Toyota dollar to watts for halogen + a top quality relay harness can’t be beat.

Are the Summit LED’s better than the Toyota’s you previously had?

Equally good but different.
Toyota halogen kit with quality relay harness and an upgraded hella 80/100 bulb, all in ~$50. Don’t think there is anything better in the halogen space.

Summit kit at $200 is much better than eBay/china LED and the color to me is nice and bright without being blue or too warm. I’ve only had them a few months so I don’t have long term results but they are sealed/glass and the wiring looks quality. I have not compared them to JW, Holley etc as ~$500 was over my budget.

Look at the color temperature of those LED bulbs - very blue. I wouldn't pay $1 for a pair of those, much less the $189 the sellers are asking.

Good catch. I wonder if I can find a white version. I don’t really want halogen light. I just want the housings to look like a sealed beam. My family has a 2022 Subaru Ascent and those lights are not very bright but can still outshine any halogen I have seen. I just want to buy the brightest I can get so I don’t crash into a deer. This jeep has already done that 4 times😂 I want to see them from a mile away

If money is no option, then out of these:

$40 - Toyota Koito H4
$200 - Summit LED
$450 - Holley Retrobrite
$700 - KC Gravity

The Retrobrites look like stock housings the most but are very bright with your choice of color temps.
