TruckLite does make a non-heated version that is cheaper. They're dual 12/24 volt so they're easy to find.
I'm watching my DVR'd episode of Xtreme Off-Road that aired yesterday and Ian is installing them in their Rock Auto LJ build right now in fact.
I love mine! Way brighter than the halogens and makes driving at night a lot safer. I paid $325 for my pair.

Where did you get the brackets for the ibis tek light bar?

Mr. Ted Gates provided them when I bought the light bar from him. The passenger side one is one of his custom ones to clear the snorkel.

Just paid a good bit more for mine from Kascar. $385 for the pair, delivered. At least they're the heated ones, just like what's in the OP's picture.

Do the heated ones plug into the existing harness or is modification required?

Same harness. There's some kind of temperature control device inside the light that automatically activates the heater below a certain temperature.

I have LED pair on one of my 998 and have the filament on the other.
The LED are serious bright. If you are standing 25 feet away heading directly towards the light you can not even see what is infront of you, a HMMWV could be a M 60 MBT as loud as a HMMWV diesel is and being blinded by the LED.
I was reading that the MIL is moving away from the LED headlights because they dont hold up due to the off road conditions .

Really? That would be pretty surprising hear since LEDs are more shock and vibration resistant than halogens and HIDs. You sure they aren't just moving away from the original "composite" style LEDs with multiple emitters and towards some of the newer styles out there like the Trucklites, JW Speakers, and Dialights?

could have something to do with the led elements them self, Betts lighting is the standard for fuel trucks. My last batch of lights have had a lot of led' failing seems betts used a different supplier to increase profit, the results is you get what you pay for, hope my next batch is better
