Are you ready for more lighting power from your Jeep Wrangler JK? Then make room for IPF lights. Designed specifically for your Jeep Wrangler JK, IPF went to great lengths when designing a kit that would put out more light yet only use 55w to not over draw from the electrical system.
Not drawing too much power from the system is crucial since newer Mopar vehicles have a built-in electrical safety feature that shuts off circuits if the computer determines there is too much electric power draw or short circuit. Too many re-sets and the computer will lock out, requiring a visit to the dealer.
We were anxious to try ARBs new line of IPF Jeep Wrangler JK Head Lamp Conversion Kits, so we ordered up a set.
The IPF Jeep Wrangler JK Head Lamp Conversion Kit consists of two headlamps, complete with a wiring loom that snaps together to adapt from H13 to H4 bulbs, and a pair of IPF H412v 55/60 watt bulbs rated to put out 4400 Kelvins of light.
The following is an overview of what it takes to swap out your stock lights with aftermarket IPF performance lights.
Repeat the steps to install the IPF headlamp on the other side. Once you have completed both sides, test your lights to make sure everything works.
FINAL THOUGHTS
After completing the IPF JK Head Lamp Conversion Kit installation, we took a spin to test out the new IPFs. We noticed a brighter and wider light pattern. It was literally a day and night difference in the Jeep Wrangler’s lighting.
The high beams were unreal. The light pattern and color of the IPF also works great off-road, with a much further reach than stock.
This simple upgrade yields big lighting power sure to impress even the most discriminant Jeep owner. The headlights are brighter, cover more ground and add safety to night driving. They also add great looks to the Jeep with a flatter headlight design, reminiscent of early Jeeps.

the kelvin rating is the color of the light. This has nothing to do with output. 4400 is only slightly more blue then the more yellow 3000 kelvin rating of the factory bulbs.
I would expect better info from a site that I think knows what they are talking about.
Thanks for smacking us across the head. Now I’m seeing Kelvin and stars. Your point about Kelvin not having anything to do with output is correct. The unit of “Kelvin” is used to measure the color temperature of visible light.
I agree the sentence would read better if it said “and a pair of IPF H412v 55/60 watt bulbs rated at 4400 Kelvin.”
The point we were trying to make is that these light bulbs are able to emit a higher temperature light than stock bulbs. The color temperature of 4400 K is brighter and whiter than 3000 K in the sense that it is reaching the color temperature of 5000 K--which is comparable to daylight.
Thanks for shedding some light on what Kelvin is.
If you want to get really technical, there's a pretty good entry on Wikipedia on Color temperature that touches on Kelvin.

Next time we’ll talk about Lumens, the measure of light output.
Cheers!
