Im looking to upgrade the headlights on the 87 Renix. Im ok with adding relays or whatever other wiring may be needed for the install but would really like to hear some recommendations as there are a ton of LED and Halogens to choose from. Any pros or Cons are also greatly appreciated
thank you in advance

I have an 88, I put an upgraded light harness and will say that made a great improvement on its own. I looked at going LED but personally I don't like the look, and going H4 didn't make much sense as I would still have to remove the housing to change bulbs (no rear access). I ended up just getting the brightest 6054 sealed beams I could and my lighting has improved drastically.

Headlight harness is always a good start. I recommend good h4 conversion housings over bargain LED headlights you'll find on amazon. I have E-Code h4 conversions and they're night and day over the sealed beam I replaced them with.

any particular brand you recommend for the harness? Are the e-code h4 conversion the round lights?
*I myself dont care much for the look of the LED's but I do like the brightness, however from what ive read they can be difficult in the colder temps with snow building up due to no heat coming off them

Ecode is "european spec" and is just a slightly different beam pattern, they're still the "square" headlights like stock.
I know putco was the popular h4 harness for a while, not sure if there is a new popular.

If you have Orielly rewards you can use them towards the Rampage lights and they are probably in stock for instant gratification. I like the old school look of the Hella conversions so got them but my state also doesn't require DOT approved lights. If yours does the Rampage's have it.

The Youtube videos of LEDS in snow turned me off to them:
