Like the others have said, probably per light and if it is for a set, then it is a nock-off. Make sure it say "JW Speaker evo 2" and not just "evo 2". That is how that catch you with the fake ones.

Can I offer a 4th option. I myself had been looking at the JW Speakers for sometime. I didn't have the $ for them and figured I would save up. Then a friend told me about these. They are Cree LEDs with the halo switchbacks. Here is a stock photo. I can send you one of my jeep if you need a better view. They were more than half off also.

I grabbed some used jw speakers evo2's from a Jeeper recently. I typically have the brightest low beams on the road at anytime. In fact I have not seen any car with brighter headlights in the 3 months I've had them. Best upgrade I've done to my Jeep from a safety standpoint.

Most of the Pilot light is concentrated in a hotspot, not enough light on the rest of the area and on the road/trail sides.
Part of the hotspot is above the cutoff line, so it has to be aimed lower to not blind oncoming traffic.
For “about same price as trucklites”, the TruckLite light spread is much better.
I wouldn’t get headlights because of how they look, but because of how they perform each time I drive at night.

The light spread pattern of the miserable stock headlight looks (in this picture) much better than that of the Pilot.
