Cibie H4 housings are going into mine. I thought these weren't still available? I have mine in basement stock from 2016 when I planned to install them...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I have found my aging eyes prefer LED's so of the ones you have on hand pick the best light, I went with KC HiLiTES Gravity...
They look good at that angle. Less bug-eyed than the many other LED options.
I like option 3. They look similar to the Vision X reflector housings and Supernova V4 LED lamps I bought to replace my stock headlamps right afer I bought it 5 years ago. That was about the first thing I did to the Jeep because the original lamps were so poor. The set up was inexpensive and I am still happy with the relatively stock look and excellent light output.
I agree the first 2 don’t match the style of a Jeep like many aftermarket options. @mvigo ’s KC HiLite Gravitys look good to me, however.
Option 3 all the way. JW Speakers look fugly and have a stupid name. First ones look okay in the pics, but I have run them myself and didn't like how they looked at anything other then straight on.
This! This is what I'm running. Using the wiring harness that comes with them and Hella 55/100 bulbs. Can't beat the price of the kit, only like $20-30.
#3. Get some Phillips Vision Plus 100 bulbs and upgrade the harness with relays direct to battery.
I've been driving the Jeep during dark hours lately and as much as I dislike the look of LED headlights, there's no comparison to the amount of light they project in comparison to conventional bulbs. I'll just have to accept what's there now and appreciate being able to see clearly at night!
The TJ went to my 30+ year old son. There's a long story there that won't be shared here, but the ending is a good one. We spent the weekend working on it to swap a few things. Yesterday, we took both out to do a father/son drive.

Very happy it worked out that way.
And I'm telling Jerry you are driving around burning out everybody's retinas with your dangerous LEDs

Also, replaced the anemic single horn with a pair of Italian horns I've had across multiple vehicles.
It is and the Savvy front bumper is one of the things that was swapped out.
Looks like the Holley Retrobrights that Mike mentioned come in a 3000K temperature. That should be a nice warm color comparable to factory halogen lights.
I do love the look of the KC Gravity lights but don’t think I could ever justify $730 for a pair of headlights that are quite likely to get smashed by a rock, even more so while offroad!
I went with the KC HiLITEs Halogen bulb kit, and the KW direct relay to the battery. Works pretty well
