Headlight upgrade

Just finally got my jeep, 2016 JKU.
Surprised how dim the headlights are and I want to upgrade them to LED's if possible. Looking for recommendations for an upgrade/conversion. Ideally something plug and play.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I just installed a set of the Trucklite led's in my 16 wrangler and love them. I live in a very rural area with dark backroads and these lights are great at lighting up the road. I got them for ~ $400 on quadratec. They are completely plug and play and come with an H4 to H13 adaptor. However it won't be needed if you buy the Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) which I did. (they are sold Individually). I would also recommend the JW Speaker J series which a good friend of mine has.

Even the 2017 OEM LED headlights flicker when installed on pre-2017 JKs ...

A few weeks back I bumped into a 2014 JK owner in the Canadian Tire parking lot as I was admiring his new OEM LED headlights thinking the vehicle was a 2017 model. Turns out he works at the MAGNA International assembly plant in Belleville, Ontario that manufactures the OEM LED headlight found on the 2017 JK. He installed the new headlight (with integrated circuitry) on his 2014 JK and commented that he was noticing flicker issues. I will assume that it was with the DRLs. The next time I see him I will have to let him know that his vehicle must require the flash programming as well to resolve this issue. Interesting enough, prior to that encounter, when I inquired at the Jeep dealership about purchasing the OEM headlight at $519 CDN each, no one mentioned that programming was required to eliminate the flicker.

I went cheap after market LED compared to JW and all the high end lights. So far, I couldn't be happier. Light output is insanely bright. I have the halo DRL. Also went with the LED fog lights. All had for about $200. I bought a brand called Optix. They sure do light up the road. They're quite awesome if u ask me.

I have the trucklites and loved them until my husband got the kc gravitys. His have a much cleaner beam pattern and didn't require the anti flicker harness. Also the kc gravity had the drl set up unlike trucklites that require another adapter for that. Both are a huge improvement over stock so I'm sure you'll be happy with whichever you go with!
