From your test KC looks to be the cleanest and brightest light. Would you recommend getting them over the others tested? I see the KC go for around 650 is that what you paid for them? If you got them cheaper could you point me in the right direction

I did a search on KC headlights, headlights, LED headlights and a few other things and can't find them anywhere on Quadratec.

Do you have a link?

Nevermind I just tried a google shopping search and they came up on Quadratec that way.

Here's the link:

KC HiLiTES 42321 - KC HiLiTES 7" Par 56 LED Headlamps for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec


They're 10 bucks cheaper on ET. I dunno about shipping though haven't looked into both shipping prices yet.

Edit: Free shipping on ET. However... I just noticed they look a little different on ET. Perhaps a different model? >.>
Well after closer inspection, they look the same on the picture of the Jeep. But the closeup of just the light itself looks different. So I dunno. Manufacturer part numbers are the same in both.

Those are the same. Quadratec price matches and ships free if you call and tell them you are from forums

They seems brighter but I don't think they are. I think they are just more focused to one area. I'd like to see some actually numbers.

I am having trouble figuring out what I'm looking at here. Do you have 3 Jeeps lined up with all different setups?

Yep. Driver view shots from the same rig with all the lights would be a better comparison

They are hands down brighter! Even the owner of the Trucklites would tell you the same
