Quadratecs, just put them in Saturday. Love them.

 

I put the JW Speakers in my 2012 and love the difference they make. They are especially impressive when paired with their fog lights as well.
Only issue is they don't clear snow and ice during heavy snow storms (both big northeast blizzards last year were the first time I had any real issues with it).
Otherwise they have been the best upgrade I have made to date, and is the first on my list for any new jeep.

 

After wanting to be frugal, the first mod to my 2015 were trucklite led headlights. Yes the leds are bright for a shorter distance then hid, I feel they are still sufficient. I don't like my kc hilites led fogs. They suck, super short distance, darn near no use.


Just fogs



Just headlights



Headlights & fogs

 

If still looking to compare headlights. Ignite Off road Innovations just joined the forum specializing in their new release of the Trail-Flame Headlamp Set. It is the most impressive light I have seen to date, and I have been following all the brands for years. Supposedly no codes being thrown and they are DOT/SAE compliant.

True fog lights are made for heavy fog or heavy dust, which means wide & short distance light pattern. Visible light doesn't penetrate far in thick fog anyway, so all the light is concentrated at short distance.

 

I'm replying to my own post.... Installed the trucklites and took them off the next day and returned them. There is no way I would recommend trucklites to anyone. The x pattern light artifact was so bright and annoying that it was difficult to see items in the lower light areas of the light pattern. On low beam they were awful but high beams were outstanding. For the $500ish price trucklites should be able to provide a more uniform light pattern. I'll wait until JW speaker makes a heated version. If I lived in a warm climate I would get them now.

 

Truck lites are the shit 👍👍👍👍




This lights light up all freeway lanes
In low

 

No headlight is free of hot or dark spots.
Such hot spots draw light on account of the rest of the light pattern.

The hot spots of the Truck Lite are the smallest vs any other headlight – they are the little ‘X’ or ‘V’ shaped spots. The light pattern of the Truck Lite is the most even I’ve seen.
The JW Speaker headlights have about the same output as the Truck Lite, but they have large & bright hot spots which reduces light light at the rest of the lighted area. Their high light is clearly inferior to that of the Truck Lite.

Noticing the little ‘x’ or ‘v’ of the Truck Lite to the degree that they bother, is subjective rather than objective. They never bothered me (and many others), and they’re barely noticeable unless in front of a wall, for instance.
I’d rather have those very little hot spots than the prominent & larger hot spots of other headlights.

I don't have good pictures of Truck Light vs JW Speaker hot spots, but I have one that shows them vs KC (which is close to JW Speaker) :

 

Does the retro fit source make an HID ready to install
