X2 on the KC lights stated here i've run these since buying the tj in 2010 right now i run hella 500 driving lights set to on with high beams really lights the night. lows are 2x better then stock atleast
I've done the same as @Mr. Bills except with CIBIE housings. Added relays and extra wires for extra voltage. Worth the work and expense. My avatar shows what the CIBIE housing looks like. Very factory looking.
The kc highlites quad beam is awesome because it keeps the low beam elements on when you go high beam, almost blinding!
I was lucky and bought a pair of the Roundeyes H4 conversion headlamps back in 2008 before they went under. I still have them installed and they still look and work great,
I do, but he was asking about stock looking upgrades, and that is what they are. I think it's a huge upgrade from OEM and look exactly like stock headlights do.

Do they really?
If they are not bright enough then I will add a couple of LED light bars. Maybe even some LED fog lights.
Holly RetroBrights would get my vote for best stock appearing headlight.
If those are too expensive and you want traditional halogens, then the Toyota kits are good too. I found them better than Hella and what I currently run until I switch to the holleys

Holly's look really nice but very expensive. Can you tell me more about the Toyota kits?
Link below but the gist is toyota put together a kit for the landcruisers using high quality kioto lights and a nice harness. Google search the Toyota part number in the thread below. Usually can be had for $60 and under.
Part number 81110-60P70

I am running the toyota setup with Hella bulbs and its a major improvement over stock sealed beams.
Found it on Ebay for $66.00. Great deal for what you get! I will give them a try. Thanks for the recommendation.
I also have the Toyota bulb and wire harness in mine. HIGHLY recommend it. The Jeep factory harness is garbage and eventually overheats and damages the plug at the multi function switch. Once you switch over to the Toyota harness, the load on the multi function switch goes down and you can have pretty much as high a power bulb as you might want. I did upgrade the bulbs to Hella H4 100/80 watt bulb.
