Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
Are these LEGAL, though? I don't think any LED retrofits are DOT approved yet (at least in Canada)...

Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
Well I wrote to the company IN CANADA that is selling these asking the same question I posted and here is the reply:
"Other than grinding out some of the headlamp bucket... nope. It's a pretty straight forward plug 'n play. I'm the one who took the photos online of the install. The lights are amazing. Jeep should have built them with the lamps." Yes they are legal in Canada. |

Hope this thread isn;t too old to get a reply.
So let me go over what I got from all this... We only need to change the plug from a H3 to a H4. Then cut away some of the bucket where they mount onto the Jeep. Can anyone tell me: 1. Where to get the new H4 plug? 2. Where to get replacement LED's if one of these burn out? Would it cost a lot? 3. Anyone else put these in? and how are they working? Pator 1971how are they holding up after all this time? I think they would be fantastic to get! 2. The odds of the LEDS burning out in the vehicles lifetime is negligible. If they have a flaw it will come out in the first year or 2 and they have a 4 year warranty. 3. The lights work awesome, I have almost a year with them and I wouldn't change them out. I have tried a couple of different LEDS ( Grote trucklights and a Chinese Knock off of the Speakers) The Chinese ones were close but not as good as the Speakers. The pattern is tight bright and easier on my eyes. I have submerged them for extended periods and run them in extreme cold (-51C) no complaints. Best light for me period. |

Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
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? |
Re: Led Headlights for my Jk
The new Evolutions #8700 JW Speakers are a simple swap for the factory units, except for plugging in the additianol wiring extension.
There is a video somewhere that showed just how easy it is to do. I'm just waiting on the daytime running lights question to be answered. |

The set in the 2 door are fantastic!. Bright white light, with a low wide light ------ and a good high beam. These have the chrome face andlook great on the black Jeep. The black fronted ones (in a white Jeep) are flickering. Spoke to Speaker and they blamed teh Jeep's wiring and say that they didn't test the lights in Jeeps (even thought the new lights are now sized to fit the Jeep's housing, have polycarbonate covers instead of glass and are shake-proof, and sold though Jeep after marker companies (total cop-out). She did say that she would look into the problem though and get back to me. The distributor told me that there had been some reports of this flickering and that a conductive grease in the wiring connectors would fix it. This was news to Speaker. Soooo, if the flickering problem can be solved, I will be very happy with my purchases. If not, not so much. Time will tell. |
