Default JK Headlight replacement globes

Hi all, new to this forum and certainly respect other members input.
I'm cruising a 2015 JK Wrangler Oscar Mike and I don't particularly like the standard headlight output therefore looking to upgrade.
I don't really wish to spend top dollars on the likes of JW Speaker head lights, nor would I risk burning the cash for inferior Chinese replicas either. However, for a simple less expensive light upgrade, I was wanting to ask if anyone has tried the Narva +130 platinum globes? Also, would it be required that I install an anti flicker harness with these particular lights?
Finally, would I require an adaptor to suit a possible differing 'H' type of globe for compatibility?

Thanks for the input, definitely appreciated.

Hey, new to this as well. From what i understand you wont need an Anti flicker unless they are HID and require a ballast. That is a standard Halogen. Im still deciding through my options myself.

So far it seems there are some full HID headlight upgrades and HID globe upgrades(illegal in NSW, cant say for any other state). And then LED. From what i know HID will all require an anti-flicker harness, and the internet seems littered with reports of those melting or generally failing.

My current leaning is to buy those globes, and then if im still not happy to buy the JW speakers.

Thanks for the response Melphus. Seems we are in the same boat with our lighting options! Do you know if the Narvas are a straight plug and play or is an adaptor required?

I installed the brightest Phillips globes possible and really happy with the improvement.
Some people have used Britax lights instead of the stock Hellas but each to their own I say.

Thanks Milky01,
Any concerns with H4 - H13 adaptors if at all required or simply plug and play?

The stock globe is H4, that is the plug type. so Any H4 globe will plug straight in. HID seem to go from H4 to the ballast, to H13 or something
