Default LED Headlights (more sealed options)

just putting this here. Looks like there are more companies stepping up to the plate. And the price of trucklite is coming down as well. Finally.

Interesting... so the GE is equal quality as the trucklite. (EDIT: searched the web for GE buying trucklite... Seems that GE lended money to Penske trucking who owns trucklite. I dont see any info suggesting that GE took ownership of Trucklite. Do you have a link??

Someone here mentioned some Mamba, or black mamba LED lights too

You can look on ebay and find a lot of different brands and styles,I would stick to jw speaker or trucklite they are older and have had time to make the prefect light.

TruckLite's are the absolute best.

Second runner up is JW Speaker.

I personally have some genssi h4 LED bulbs in mine and I like them slightly large but they fit without modification. Haven't had them very long but so far they're good.
