Yes, we switched them out on all of ours out for JW Speakers. I'll admit, the JW's have a better light pattern than the TL's did for these big trucks.

I used to hate the look of the Speakers, but they've grown on me quite a bit. That's a hefty price tag though.

Have been trying to decide between TL's and JW Speakers myself, found a deal on the speakers on amazon for cheapear than TL. Was just about to buy when I called up to JW to make sure I was buying an authorized product when the lady informed me they are supposed to release new models in 4-6 weeks. They will now offer a heated and non heated 8900 Evo 2 model. Will try to figure out how to attach the spec sheet she sent me.

Yeah I am really tempted to wait and see what they cost. 50% improved low beams from what they already were sounds very intriguing lol

I'll probably resell my TLs and buy a set. As I said recently, I haven't had much trouble with my current headlights. If I can eliminate that risk factor entirely, though, I'd be more comfortable
