Are those the EVO 2? Those look nothing like mine, so I'm guessing those are the original EVO?

The EVO 2 are not even a year out now, came out end of 2014, so if you have them for a year and a half, then they are the original ones.

Will be shipping out my old passenger side light to JWS tomorrow, so will update when I hear what they come up with.
That is what I told you in post #13.

So in my naivety I checked JW and reviewed the pics of the Evo 2's...and their light spread is much better, so yes, I have the original Evo's with that conical beam pattern. In my frustration, I emailed JW to see if they will offer an exchange program since my only complaint is the beam. Evo2's look much nicer. Anyway, on the whole, JW is bar far a better lighting unit. Unparalleled.

OK, finally an update. JW Speaker has had my light for exactly 3 weeks. Eric from Northridge 4X4 contacted me today and said the light passed all the tests at JW and they would not refund me on the light.

However, having seen the evidence, Eric believes it passed a bench test for resistance or something, but there was still an issue with the projection and light beam/reflectors. So, Northridge is refunding my money for the light. Bottom line, Northridge 4X4 has always been and still is a fantastic company, with great people, and I cannot thank them enough for standing by their customers.

That's awesome. Northridge has some really good people there. The JW's I got from them are great!
