FS: LED Headlights

[jaudette3]

There have been a couple of updates and I thought I would post a short listing of the LED headlights that I am currently offering.

One addition is that I found a source for the JW Speaker ECE certified lenses in Europe and will be able to provide them. Unfortunately they are more expensive than the DOT lenses and I will need to charge a bit more. Also, I have reduced the price the of the assemblies built with the TruckLites. Here's the current line-up of LED headlamps I offer:

1. TruckLite 27270C LED headlamps: $995 (price reduction)
2. JW Speaker 8700 Evolution 2 DOT LED headlamps: $1,295 (for North America)
3. JW Speaker 8700 Evolution 2 ECE LED headlamps: $1,495 (for Europe)

TruckLites:

JW Speakers in black:

JW Speakers in chrome:

Chrome trim rings are standard - add $150 if you want black or primered trim rings.

If you would like to geek out on LED lighting like I do I found a link that you will find interesting. Jeep owners are enthusiastic LED users and the JKOwners Forum published an in-depth study of various high performance headlights, including TruckLites and JW Speakers:

Headlight Shootout! -Story and photos by Gil ""usmcdoc" Fortin

Here's the conclusion:

Best Overall: J.W. Speaker - "JW Speakers are by far the best headlight I have ever seen."

They outshone the Truck-lite and pretty much all of the competitors. Better output and better clarity but you get a smack in the face of price that makes people pause. The price to me is not the issue, you see a LED is going to last as long as 50+ Halogen bulbs. So even if you are spending $20 a light for replacement bulbs you are still above the price of an LED headlight. So this is one of those buy and forget about it purchases. Don't get me wrong, the Truck-lite did very good and would be a nice entry into the LED market. The difference between the two is what you can achieve with solid optics vs. reflector design with a LED. The light from the J.W. Speaker just left it and everything else in in the dust. The J.W. 8700 Evolutions put out more light at distance and much, much more evenly.

JW Speakers are by far the best headlight I have ever seen. They are ridiculously well made and designed and are worth that kind of money. I understand the value over time of owning them, they last as long as 50+ halogen bulbs or 20 something HID's, that is a LONG time. No moving parts or bulb to break and a very low amp draw are even more selling points. I learned a while ago that rarely sometimes you do get what you pay for. I was seriously skeptical of the value of these lights and I am glad I was proven wrong.

Interestingly, the results in this sophisticated study are the same as the results in my much more primitive study: JW Speakers were the clear winners.
