Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
Also we didn't have any CANBUS issues. We just cut the H13 connerctor off and put on an H4 connector, and presto everything worked. The DRLs, the flash to pass, and no lights on in the dash. I am very happy with the install. I am trying to get a buddy that wants a set to come with me outta town so I can do a side by side shot in the dark. I live in the city and Edmonton seems to have more street lights than any place else I have ever lived. So I wll post up that pic when I can get both of us outta town.

Hey DCjeep, talk to Bear at Beartrax 4x4 Outfitters I am pretty sure he can get you a deal. There are 2 sets now in TJs in Edmonton look them up and ask what they think http://www.na4wda.org/index.php/topic,3534.0.html. They work well.

Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
I have received some feed back on the pricing(some positive and some REALLY negative) and as such I approached them in the hopes of getting better costs for the lights.
I am really excited about this line, primarily because of the quality of both the lights and their output of lumen's. It has been a long time coming but someone has finally put out a robust, high end headlight that satisfies the needs on the offroad world.
Had a great chat with the supplier of the lights..... Just to be clear, JW Speaker sets the pricing and as such after a good talk the initial 600 per unit is being lowered to 520-530 per unit.
Glad to say that there was some success on that front, they were very helpfull and a pleasure to deal with.

Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
Well they look great! We all have the light problem on the jks. A few questions. Are they street legal ?
I seen price on line they are pricey but I plan on contacting the people from the other posts. Was the install hard after u got that harness to get passed the Canbus ? And I see u are in Edmonton, can I ask where u think is the best place to get them for price ?? Oh and again they look great lol

Yes they are street legal, they have a DOT number stamped into the housing that is legal in Canada the States, and even a ECE number for the rest of the world.
I wound up just changing the connector from a h13 to a h4, and hooking them up, no extra wiring needed and everything works; DRL's , flash to pass and no lights on in the dash.
As for the price of everything in the world you get what you pay for. I can say that these are VERY high quality. For the money, you get DOT legal lights that are dust-proof, submersible and have replaceable lenses with a 4 year warranty.
If you live in Edmonton and want to see them PM me and I can meet you somewhere to show you how they work.
If you have any more questions just ask.
Oh yeah I didn't get a chance to take pics of the lights outside the city yet, I had to entertain the wifey this weekend and I never left the city, hoping to do it Monday night.

Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
Well I got north of city far enough to get some shots of the lights at nite.
And the high Beams. I had to take the shot from just outside the Jeep camera decided not to focus threw the windshield again.
After talking with John at JW Speaker about how they should be aimed I found out I have to aim them a little bit higher, about three inches higher at 15 feet from the wall.
