[QUOTE="dodgerammit, post: 441055, member: 21375"] A small update. So, I have Holley Retrobright LEDs in my Wagoneer and love them. They look like sealed beams, but perform with modern technology. They've been in for over a year and have already saved me from nailing a brainless deer, just walking down the middle of the road one night. So, I knew the Islander would get the same treatment. So, early last week, I got a package from Headlight Revolution. [ATTACH=full]122468[/ATTACH] Inside was a set of 5x7s in the classic white color temp (3000K) [ATTACH=full]122469[/ATTACH] I decided on classic white as the Wagoneer has the truer 5700K modern white. (I wanted the absolute best visibility for it due to the difficulty of sourcing body parts for it) I wanted to keep more of the classic look with the YJ. That, and compare the two outputs. If you can change a sealed beam, you can install these as they have a housing that replicates a sealed beam headlight with a Morimoto dual LED cartridge installed from the back. [ATTACH=full]122470[/ATTACH] The color temp is spot on. LED on the left, halogen on the right [ATTACH=full]122471[/ATTACH] Now for what's important. How they illuminate. Instead of a central hot spot with a quick fade to nothing all the way around, these have a central hot spot that also has a solid, horizontal beam pattern that fully illuminates ditch to ditch. They also have a sharp cutoff to avoid being 'that guy' that drives around with crappy, unfocused Amazon LEDs that blind others. This is LOW beam [ATTACH=full]122472[/ATTACH] This is the 3000K Classic white vs the 5700K Modern white [ATTACH=full]122473[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122474[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
