Not a head to head with truck lites but here's a comparison of stock tj headlights vs our led headlights. Top is tj, bottom is Olympus, left is low and right is high beam

Do you have a housing you guys sell or am I on my own to find those? No biggie if you don't, but was curious.

Your best bet is going to be the Hella E code housings.

We don't have our own housings.

I swear by my Truck-Lites on my XJ and when I was a mechanic in the Army. Drivetrain America defintely has the best price around.

There LED headlights use less watts than the stock halogens so the OEM harness is fine.

OEM is fine for our led headlights, you will see no real benefit from adding a aftermarket harness

Just compared my Truck-Lites to a friend's H4s. He is using the PIAA Night Tech bulbs in Hella e-Code housings with ARB wiring harness. My TL's were significantly brighter and clearer than his and he said he will be getting the Truck-Lights from Drivetrain America soon.

For what they cost I would expect them to be. The question is are they brighter than the Zeus LEDs?
