Aiming your lights is crucial with the factory light housing. They have a very narrow beam at low beam and lifting your Jeep makes it even more apparent. Once you have decent bulbs installed you will see a difference.
As for the foglights, I suggest to leave them as is. Add better distance lights if you need but making the road too bright right infront of the Jeep on high beam will affect your distance vision.

 

Thanks Jeff

 

I've an idea with the snow build up on the lights, I know that HID Lights don't get as hot and are lower power output. Would possibly there be a really bright Halogen option? I don't know alot about headlights, I don't know these brands that are thrown out there but I know the popular look right now is Bright White Lights.

Also is this a common problem with trail lights? I'd like to get a bumper to replace mine, and wire in trail lights and ditch the fog lights just run them through the same cabling.

 

Hey Dave,

Im looking to do the same with my fogs and high beams. Have you found anything that might do the trick so that the fog lights stay on with the high beams?

 

Due to the way the factory fogs are wired in you are best off to add in auxiliary lights to work with your highbeams. Generally it is better to not have the road too bright directly infront of the vehicle on Highbeam as it affects your long distance vision in the dark.

 

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the tip. I was looking at throwing this on in April
Smittybilt XRC Light Bar Textured Black SB-76911

Any thought or suggestion of something better?

 

Thats a nice light bar. The Rugged Ridge bar is also nice, but a little heavier. Any ideas of whats lights you are getting..?

 

Not a clue what lights i should get. Still new to all of this, have any suggestions for some that wont break my bank account

 

The thing with lights is "buy right, buy once".. Save you money and buy a good set of lights like Lightforce or PIAA and you'll never have to worry about it again. A good set of lights will last longer and have twice the output of cheap lights.

 

The new PIAA reflector facing LED lights look very interesting. BTW.
