The "Off road only" high watt bulbs work decent with an upgraded harness. These secondary relay harnesses have their negatives to consider.
The 99+ clear housings are better than the 98- faceted(?) housings, but not by much.
I've tried most all the high dollar ($20-35 a bulb) H4 halogens. The most expensive are marginally brighter than the mid range ones but their lifetimes are low. In the 99 running the auto setting (lights on all the time) they don't last even 2 years.
For the last few rigs I've run Beamtech H4 LED bulbs (probably no better than other LED bulbs, just the only ones I've used). They are much brighter than any halogen I've tried by a far margin. I haven't had one fail yet in about 2 years.
Pros: They are significantly brighter than any DOT halogen. Very easy to install, no mods necessary. Cheap. Very good bang for the buck. You can run them side by side with halogens. They seem to have a long service life.
Cons: I've had to lower the aim on my lights for other drivers. They need a load resistor in order for the High beam indicator to work($20 plug and play). You can hear the fans when the engine is off(new models don't have these).
I wont argue the experts negative claims about the LED's and their use in housings designed for Halogen bulbs.
For $40 you can go from guessing to knowing, and if you like the knowing you can spend another $20 or less for a load resistor to get a working High beam indicator. Pretty cheap R&D in my estimation.
