Hey, that's not bad. Just a couple years ago they were like $400 a piece.

There is nothing better than JW Speaker right now. If you can afford them, get them, but REMEMBER TO AIM THEM PROPERLY.

have them in wifes xj.

theyre bright, theyll last a long time, give good light pattern.

but for the price, i would go hid retrofit.

the jw speakers are AWESOME in my kenworth (4 light system 4x6) but the 5x7s arent overwhelming by any means.

Did you end up getting a set of the JW Speakers? I have been trying to decide on some myself. They can be had now for not much more than the Truck-Lites. On Quadratec you can get the TL for $380 or the JW Speakers for $480. The JWS used to be close to double TLs, I wonder now that they are closer if it's worth the extra $100.

Also heard that Ridgid Industries now owns TL, I wonder if their rep for great customer service will still stay the same?

as appealing as LEDs are, if you live in an area that sees snow youll regret them on those days you need your headlights- road spray freezing to the headlights/snow caking them while driving as they generate no heat like a halogen. if trucklite made a heated version of the 5x7 like they do the JK/TJ headlights Id be all over them. but since I can expect some snow in MD every year, ive decided to just go with an upgraded harness and some halogens
