As the topic states, i'm soon looking to upgrade my factory headlamps and want to go the best/brightest without spending a fortune on the H.I.D replacements. The two I have narrowed it down to are the lamps made by Roundeyes and Delta. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on which of these would be the best. Price wise is not an issue, I can get a set of the roundeyes for 99.00 and the delta from quadratec for 110.00.
Here's the links below...

I have a set of the Delta's for just about a year now and I absolutly love them. The difference over stock is considerable and the light is bright clean and white. If you are running the stock fogs from jeep it makes the light they give off seem yellowish in comparison. I also run the Delta Sky bar and I am considering a set of delta fogs. The install is simple. I have no experience with the round eyes. Quite a few people like the fat boys. Posted picture is with the quad bar, sky bar and fogs on, at night when people cut me off they get lit up! hope this helps.

I have a different set- by IPF -- here's my story, and something to think about.
I installed my headlights when I did all the mods to the jeep- and instantly loved them. In combination with the bulbs I got they were fantastical. Super bright and i could see everything. IPF has a 15 degree up cut on the sides of their lens to illuminate the side of the road and signs and pedestrians better.
But I ended up having a problem. I THINK it's a problem with the guard design- but I tried to put some Euro Guards on the headlights (the vertical bar guards) -- well when I did, I couldn't adjust the headlights as much as I needed. Once I aimed the headlights, I tried to put on the euro guards- but I couldn't get the holes in the mounts to line up- the headlight came out too far. This might be a problem with all headlights- I just never tried before...
Either way-- I got the IPF and the fatboy bulbs. I think the IPF lights are great, I think the fatboy bulbs might be a little much. I've never tried the silver stars but they might do very well, at a much cheaper price.

dont remember if it was the halogen ones or the xenon, or if it matters, but i was wondering if those fatboys would work in that headlamp?

I have the Deltas, and they are great, night time is so much brighter. I cant do a compare and contrast for you as Ive never owned the others, but same issue about the euro gaurds not fitting, besides thats the purpose of the quad bar any way. I love mine. And fat boys will fit.

I wonder why no manufacturer hasn't made a full bezel-guard piece...
Like a 1 piece bezel and euro guard so that you can just slip it on and still adjust the headlight how you need. I mean in my very humble opinion- if you're going with a headlight guard that is actually on or around the headlight- there's no competition in looks to the euro guard

I went the real cheap way out... I bought a set of eBay for $5, + $24 to ship them. They are bright white too!!! What a difference in color of the light over the stock ones. But I cant seem to aim them very well...
Heres a link... Lights (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-01-JEEP-WRANGLER-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS-H6024-H4_W0QQitemZ130145006428QQihZ003QQcategoryZ33710QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
They look like the same thing but these are the projector style. H4 bulbs, blue tint. Even have some silly blue bulbs in there for City "Daytime" lights. You wire them your self. I plan to switch them out for red ones. I dont know why other than to say I did and look funny, but would be neat when sittin in the woods at night to have red glowing headlights... :rolleyes:
