Loved these lights at first. Now I wish I had never waisted my money.
That's unfortunate. This jeep stays in a garage and is barely driven. If these don't hold up for a couple years that would be very frustrating.

They look like JW Speaker knock-offs. I would not trust them. Anyone willing to rip-off a design from someone as reputable as JW Speaker and charge a fraction of the cost probably wasn't interested in making a quality product.

They are regular 5x7 lights and yes, they are plug and play, no special wiring needed

Default Stark LED headlights

Hello all! Forum newbie here(I joined last night).I drive a 1990 xj, 4.0L, np242, with 30 front and 35 rear axles. I too always hated the stock DIM headlights and after wasting $$ on the latest and greatest halogens(I tried them all) I finally broke down and bought "Stark" Led units on eBay for $98 shipped. They are GLASS(no yellowing or clouding) housings with a clear lens, and the reflector built into the rear like any modern car uses. The LED bulbs are made by CREE, and can be swapped out easily if they should fail.The light output is AMAZING!! HID's do not compare! And N Also, they have a lifetime warranty. If you have housings already, then the bulbs alone will set you back $60. Best $98 I ever spent! Hope

I'm currently running glass E-codes with H4 LED bulbs and they seem to work pretty well. It's a super tight fit and I might end up going with some truck-lites eventually but I'm going to run these for now. Just need a bit of fine tuning. It's not a DD but I try to make sure my lights aren't blinding the person in front of me

I HIGHLY recommend that you guys check out High Beam Offroad.

I run their RoboCop lights and have the new Predator series lights sitting on my doorstep ready to be installed in the morning.

The Predators are substantially less than truck lines, DOT approved, and have the same specs as my RoboCops which are phenomenal (pics in my build thread)

Plug and play? Why you switching from the robocops?

Badass! Never heard of them but these are sweet looking. I can get trucklites for the same amount of the predators but I think the predators look cooler!
