Those 100/80w aren't too bright for the road?

Right now my jeep is bone stock suspension/tire wise. I blend in with everybody else, all the new crap out there with HID's. The autopals have a pretty sharp cutoff to the right for LEFT hand drive cars. Nobodys' flashed me yet.

No, and I don't get flashed with the Autopal E-codes.

Gotta have the housings and then upgrade the bulbs.

Actually, I would get the Autopals and Putco harness and install them as shipped. Then, if you want more powerful bulbs, go for it. You're gonna be very impressed with the improved lighting just from the Autopal e-codes and harness. Guaranteed.

Check out theese
Amazon.com: Pilot Performance Lighting WI-HL5A H4 Conversion 6054 Head Lamp, D.O.T/SAE, Color Box: Automotive Amazon.com: Pilot Performance Lighting WI-HL5A H4 Conversion 6054 Head Lamp, D.O.T/SAE, Color Box: Automotive

I bought the autopals first and they are better than stock but not as good as theese. The issue I have with autopal is they put all the light right in front of the jeep almost like a set of fog lights with no beam. The pilots put light in front like the autopals but you get a beam out aways as well. It is like an upgraded stock beam and a set of fogs all in one unit. I used the bulbs that came with the autopals because the pilots do not come with bulbs. I also did the harness upgrade. sorry for the book hope it helps

I'd rather read than spend money on something that's not as good.

These ones are the ones I'm looking at I think they will work too
i tried a set of those, posted about them in one of the similar threads here.

Botom line, I drove around the block with them and could see a darn thing. I ripped them out in the parking lot of the autoparts store near my house and went back to a fresh set of Silverstars.

Save your money.
