Default Headlights

Hey all, it's that time for an upgrade and the headlights are obviously lacking as everyone here knows. I know the JW speakers are king, but I was wondering if anyone had a lot of success with other brands as well. I have looked in the sponsored section and have seen inspired engineering running a new set with full halos and a few other brands out there. I like the full halo ring and especially the ones that are amber for turns. I'm on a limited budget (like most) and if I could get a set of headlights for 350-400 then I could buy fogs as well instead of just headlights for the JWs. Thanks for the input!

You already said it, go JW Speaker and just get them as you can afford them.

$109 on amazon. Terrific. Can't imagine anything being better bang for the buck. Had options with halos.

Only reason I can imagine someone feeling like the JWS is that much better is because they spent the money and need to justify it.

Great cutoff super bright and clean looking.

Check out our site. We have the JW Speakers available as well as Diode Dynamics, which are less money then the JW Speaker and awesome quality (I like the look of the Diode Dynamics lights as well, DOT approved even).

You can also go with an LED Headlight Conversion kit, which is our specialty. We have a kit that DOES NOT blind oncoming drivers and gives you a decent cut-off. But you can't go wrong with putting a whole new set of lights in as the JK lights on the trucks just suck.

I have the Cibie lamps with an SMS harness and upgraded bulbs. Old school incandescents still get it done!

I just installed mine from inspired engineering and damn do they make a difference. Pretty easy install and with there deal going on right now you can't beat it. I wired it up with the amber turn signal and white halos just like in the pics on their site. Here is a pic from the freeway last night.
