JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

That's what's up! since these seem to have seriously mixed reviews on performance and I'd be wary dropping 6 hundo on a set of headlights that didn't have stellar reviews across the board. Hopefully the new ones will be better.

I have hid. They flicker still on high beam. Low is fine. I was looking at these but if they need the same harness crap then I'm out.

They look interesting tho.

im glad they seem to work better for you.
x2 on that. And if you live in a location that drops below zero, and or snows forget about these! They don't put out enough heat to melt snow and ice!

I agree that the JK's headlights suck balls. I would love to throw these lights on my JK but can't justify the price for just headlights, now if they came with a set of fog lights it would be a completely different story.

True, you can hold your hand on the light all night and not feel a significant temp change

Oooh glad you posted this...I was actually going to order some JW Speakers on Monday...but with a new version of the TruckLite's coming out that soon, I think I will wait and see how this version goes. I really like the JW Speaker performance better, but if the TruckLite's are tuned up a little bit, and if they remain cheaper than the speakers, aaaand they still remain a drop in replacement, without the need for the bucket modifications needed to fit the speakers...I'd be inclined to buy them

They do look great in the pictures, and anything would be better than stock. I was on off road evolutions website and couldn't find them on there. I also wonder how long these would actually last.
