I'm looking to replace the standard 55W H3 halogen bulbs in my J10's Marchal lights with something a heck of a lot brighter. I see 'CREE' LED bulbs that are a drop in replacement for the H3 bulb with no wiring modification needed as well as HID conversion kits with a super slim ballast/transformer box that can be hidden behind the reflector in the back of the lamp.
Any of you guys gone this route before? What puts out more light? The 'CREE' bulbs are supposed to draw only 5W, but I can't find anything on the HID's.

You know it's bad when your car is on the EPA's 10 most wanted list!
I personally prefer LED headlights to HIDs (I have owned vehicles with both). BUT... LED's do not get warm enough to melt ice on the lights. An issue my JK has. I mean, they will eventually warm up enough to melt ice if its not too cold out, but a halogen or HID will melt the ice pretty quick.
Most important thing IMO when looking for lights, is seeing if they are DoT approved. There are so many knock off chinese ones, being DoT approved gives an indication as to there quality as well as actually being legal.
On a side note my JK will freeze over in the snow pretty bad. Headlights almost completely covered, blinkers and fogs, and stopping every 20 minutes to clear the accumulated ice from the wipers. Seriously contemplating heated wipers!

Winter wiper blades should work, the metal part is covered with a loose rubber sheath. They worked for me during the last winter storm I had to drive thru (2008)

That's what I run. The passenger side is usually always fine but the driver side gunks up pretty bad

Hummm, same thing for me, I had to follow a 18 wheeler tail lights because the driver's side was a frozen ice sheet, and no place to pull over
