Default Looking for good HID's?

I've seen posts about the LED headlights in a different thread, and although they are a cheap alternative to HID's, I'm afraid that they won't look good at all on my XJ. I'm going to have a decent amount of cash I spend on them, and I REALLY want to replace my stock headlights.

Anyone have any links for a pair that you like most under $400?

Thanks in advance!

***The one set of LED's that I saw which were fairly cheap won't look good on my Jeep. But if you can find me some link of one's that aren't too flashy, then I'll look into it.

Also, how hard would the conversion be? Just swap the old with new? Any modifications needed?

NorCal MR2 Pegasus for HID, or TruckLite LED. I like the TruckLite LED ones, I run them right now.

You have two options for led lights trucklite or http://www.jwspeaker.com/products/he...product=100161 The other option is http://olympusoffroad.3dcartstores.c...air_p_161.html those drop in any h4 housing like a normal headlight blub does.

How much do these affect the beam pattern? I've got to say, they look like a great idea. I wanted HIDs but I won't fit them in my stock reflector lights because they would dazzle oncoming traffic. If these produce the same beam as normal H4 bulbs, I'm in.

Its just like a h4, and its basically that anyway just happens to be led.

Wiggles, can you ship to England? Jeeps over here have h4 headlights as stock so those bulbs would be perfect.
