Default LED Headlights

I want to change out my headlights to LED's, but looking for some more opinions.
Truck-Lite VS. J.W. Speaker

J.W. Speaker Below


I'm leaning towards the Truck-Lite (a lot cheaper), but can't seem to find a vendor in Canada to buy from, so if anyone can help with that too it would be greatly appreciated.

From what I've found JW Speaker and Hamsar 71077 are the best but they are more expensive.. There is usually good reason why they are are more $.
I prefer the look of the Hamsar units and I already have Hamsar LED spots, but so far have no info as to whether or not they are compatible with the Jeep electrical system and daytime running lights..
Also the JW Speakers have a warm air circulation fan to move warm air from the circuitry in the rear to the inside of the lens so they don't cover with ice in winter.. LEDs themselves do not produce heat.

I like the original JW 8700's, but the new 8700 evolution (or something like that) looks cheap. I had never even heard of Hamsar, so I checked them out and I'm still thinking the old model JW's or the new Truck-Lite...yep pretty sure I'll go with the Truck-Lite, anyone know where to buy in Canada for reasonable $, I've heard that truck drivers get raped on pricing because everything is a write off anyway so I'm a little worried about pricing from any of the trucking companies.

Still waiting on tech info from Hamsar. Found a dealer but won't order till I'm sure they will work.

LED is good and has many advantages.it can illuminate more than any other kind of lights and also far longer than bulbs. good luck having them.

I am leaning towards the new JW Speakler #8700 Evolution units.

Does anyone know if they work as daytime running lights as required by Canadian laws?
