But i have not found anything that has been worth me pulling the trigger on.
Im like you, i dont really like the eurotrash style that i have seen so far.
My ideal LED tail lights would include super bright reverse lights for backing up in the trails. So i can avoid mounting rear LED spot lights.

unfortunately no.. I have been on the prowl for some good looking LED headlights for a couple years now.

Bummer I really wanna get better taillights. One reason is definitely so I can see better behind me the few times I have to back up on trails, but also my housing is cracked and I wanna upgrade, not just replace.

I was looking at them for my XJ but I think I'll pass I'll build my own hid retrofit for my XJ
I bought the HID retrofit from FST and the cut off pattern is great compared to those lights. I can also build a retrofit for 200. As for Hids needing to warm up it only takes 15-20 seconds to get to full power it takes me that long to back out of the garage and wait for the door to close . The pics below were before I had aimed the lights

My first Jeep was a 78 CJ-5 Mil-Spec that I bought from a retired Army guy. 34,000 original miles, no air, no carpet, no radio, no back seat. Skinny tires and spare mounted on side. But it ran like a Singer sewing machine. Also had an '02 TJ in "Intense Blue Pearl". Now I have my 98 XJ. I think I like it the best.
I also have a proper set of projector retrofits and 4300K bulbs in the XJ. Far better than anything else I've tried.

Used to have an 89 YJ that very same color. It was my second Jeep, and it was a royal PITA to keep running with the bastardized combo of carburetor and sorta-fuel injection, and host of crazy emissions components and hoses and weird idle control issues. I think there were nly 1 or 2 transition years that had a strange assortment of stuff before OBDII came along. It also had the terrible Puegot trans, a Mistubishi starter, and a few other left-overs from other makes that were under the Chrysler Corps umbrella parts bin.

The difference is, these headlights meet DOT requirements in all 50 states. At least that's why the company said on their Facebook page a while back.
And just for sake of conparison:
