Will having a Putco harness make a difference with the LED headlights? I have some good quality glass lens housings, been thinking about upgrading to LEDs like the Zeus drop-ins, but I wonder if I need the Putco on there with the upped output of the LEDs

Any input from LED light owners here?

The harness will do nothing for LEDs, they do have higher output but much less draw. Don't waste money on the harness but DO invest in these!

Maybe that will shed some light on this topic
Sorry I can't mistake my own opinion because its mine. They have to many projectors on them for my liking. As long as your happy with them that's all that really matters.

Okay well when you put it like that it makes more sense to me. I have noticed the JW's give my jeep a strange new set of eyes . BUT they are bright as hell and control this amount of light very well. Basically I just want everyone to know that if you want to have the brightest headlight on the road/trail JW Speaker has what your looking for. If you are looking for something that doesn't break the bank then I would say get some bulbs from Olympus and do the conversion to LEDs that way.

Thanks for the info, looks like I'll wait till these Halogen bulbs are done, then sell the Putco and buy the Zeus LEDs.
