Default Headlight upgrade

Hey all I'm looking to do a headlight upgrade in the next 2 weeks (when I get paid again) and wondering what you all suggest. I'm looking for something that is plug and play vs. rewiring anything. Wires and I do not get along all the time... Also if you have links to sites to buy from that would be killer too.

ps... I'm addicted to this forum.... I need a cherokeeforum sticker for my XJ

I was contemplating an HID upgrade kit for my Hella H-4 hedlamps, the 55/60 halogens that come with the Hellas were weak to be nice about it. After reading so many mixed reviews about HID kits I upgraded my halogen H-4 bulbs with a set of philips x-treme vision. Had to get the bulbs shiped from england, couldn't find a place to buy them in the U.S, I'm very happy with my choice. Be careful with blue light bulbs, I know everybody seems to think they are cool but they are a bad choice in therms of illumination and the effect they have on our eyes, whiter lights are easier on the eyes as they are more natural and is what the human eye is used to in nature. You are welcome to pm me if you have additional questions.
If you choose to go with an HID kit, make sure to get a complete kit with the projector headlamps.
