Default Raxiom 7" LED Headlights - Install and Initial Impression

Super easy install.
- Remove 6 or so plastic push plugs to remove grill while disconnecting turn signal lamps.
- Unscrew 8 small screws holding headlights on (4 on each side). Remove headlamps.
- Re-use existing headlight bezel to remount the new headlamps.
- Replug turn signals and reattach grill.
Finished in 15-30 minutes.

Can't wait to test these puppies out this weekend on some night time highway driving. Build quality seems to be top notch. The anti-flicker harness and wiring harness in general are plug and play no issues.

1st pic is of the Factory low beams at about 15'. I know it's not an ideal measure of the beams but I was too excited to go anywhere to show a factory beam picture.

2nd, 3rd, 4th pics are all un-boxing pics.

5th pic is of the new low beams from the exact same spot as factory. (Jeep is slanting slight to the left due to being on a hill which is why (I'm assuming) the right beam looks to start slightly further out on the ground than the driver side beam.

Edit: I'll try to remember to get some better beam pics Low & High at a proper distance this weekend as well as a few pics of them in day light.

Definitely a huge difference. Not only is the light output much better and a 6000k color, but I think the lights themselves look good.

Thanks for hooking me up Ryan. The lights are great and I love the white color. Need to work on aiming them down and in a little bit I think this weekend to get the beams where I want them but other than that, a great product. I will also be painting the bezel around them black as the silver now sticks out like sore thumb.

Those bear a striking resemblance to the JW Speaker lights. How does the pricing compare?

Do the Raxiom lights come with pulse width modulators (PWM)?
