Question...
Are the h4 bulbs just as bright as the HID set up?
My night vision has progressively gotten worse in the last couple of years, so I'm looking for the best option where I can see and not blind oncoming traffic.

Just curious for your opinions, thank you.
I took the Hella conversion housing and replaced the bulbs with an H4 LED bulb off of Amazon. It made a huge difference in brightness. This photo is a comparison of the factory headlamp vs. a hella conversion housing with an H4 HID set up. I later switched to an LED bulb because i didnt like the "Flicker" effect of the cheap HIDs

Awesome, thank you. I am a little ways out from headlight instalation... but I am thinking LED is the way to go. I ran some cheap HID conversion set up in another project and was not happy with it. I hope LED is the answer for me.

Have a good week!

It has been a while so here is an update this thread. The LED bulbs replaced the halogen H4 in the Hella H4 conversion housings and the results we amazing. The headlights appear stock during the day but at night they provide ample light with a sharp cutoff as Lieferson explained in an earlier post.


As nice as the stock Jeep headlights, the Hella housing with an H4 LED is a great upgrade while maintaining a stock appearance during the day.

1st photo is with high beam.
2nd photo is with low beam.
3rd photo shows beam pattern on the garage door with sharp cutoff. (The last photo is prior to changing the out the dash lights with Yorkim white LED 194 bulbs.)
