So.... Im looking to upgrade the headlights & fog lights. I have searched and searched on here and have found nothing. Any help full advice on this would be great. Im thinking that just a LED upgrade would suffice, but I want to know more about it all.

If you have factory halogens and want to do just a bulb upgrade I highly recommend Philips Xtreme vision, have them in my lows and fogs and it made a huge difference in my night blind ass being able to see at night. Haven't used LEDs, my brother has a set on his Jeep Rubicon and I can't see **** at night when driving it, light seems to short and scattered, but bright as a ************ looking head on.

Don’t use LEDs for headlights you will be wasting $200.

I had two of the most powerful LEDs available and they were both total trash in regards to light output for low beams. They truly aren’t safe if you are driving at night as halogens out perform the plug and play LED headlight bulbs available.

For fogs though I prefer LEDs. I had HID fogs and they were so obnoxious they would blind any oncoming traffic so I ripped them out and put in morimoto 2stroke LEDs and they are perfect.

If you have projector head lights, contact The Retrofit Source and check out their 35 watt 5500K HID kit for the low beam's only. This is made special for the 2013 and up mopar's, plus it comes with a 5 year warranty.
I put this kit in my 16 Rebel and 17 Sport, and it works great. This kit makes the stock halogen bulbs look like candles.
Also contact Diode Dynamics about their XML2 high power LED's for the fogs. You will not believe how much better you will see with this combo. When I have the high beams on, the road it light up as bright as my 07 Ram did with 100 watt KC off road lights turned on.
Here is a photo of the fogs I put in the sport.
If you do decide to use these fogs, order the anti-flicker modules. I found out that is you take the rubber o-ring off the stock bulbs and put them on the XML2 leds, they will fit tighter in the housing.

Morimoto XB replacement vertical fogs are supposed to be released soon.
The horizontal version looks like a definite improvement over just using LED bulbs in the factory reflective housing. Thinking I'll be buying a set when they are released.

I've been happy with my OPT7 Fluxbeam-X LED bulbs. I have the quad headlights and they were a great improvement over the halogen bulbs from the factory.
