I stumbled onto these headlights a few month ago. I have wanted to upgrade the lights in my wife's Jeep for a long time. The stock lights just suck in the new Jeep Rubicons. Then I began looking for some light ideas for Greg Weld's bubble top that would work good and give us a more modern look. Sean Smith suggested I look at the Harley Davidson Led headlight for the project. I went down to my local dealer and checked out the headlights They were sweet, but I did not want the front of Greg's car to say "HARLEY DAVIDSON" across the front 4 times. Well Then I found the manufacturer, JW Speaker. They make the light for Harley. I did some calling around and found out they were the hot ticket to make the lights better in my wife's Jeep also. I told a few car building buddies about the lights and sold quite a few to guys wanting something more for lights on the car. So here we are today.
The 5.75" lights are a bit more difficult to install. They have a really big back side that make the work needed to install they a bit more difficult then the 7" lights. You will see the difference in these shapes of the lights below.
These are the 7" lights

So I took some pictures of the lights in the jeep with the stock lights on low beams.

The lights seem a bit dimmer, but the light really carries further and lights things up so much better. It also has a wider pattern so you don't have just the front of the car lit up in front of you. It really carries out to the sides of the Jeep. The light path is also taller. It's like a more penetrating shot gun blast of light over just a spot light of a stock light. You will also notice that these lights hit the ground much further out not wasting the light beam on the ground where you can't see. These lights have a projector beam inside to shoot the light out further.

Those are cool! Will they bolt into a stock 7" sealed beam location? Independent of depth.
I like that the draw such few amps!!
Any special wiring considerations? Just power (hi and low beam) and ground?

Swapped them out on my wife jeep yesterday in 2 hours. Just had to thin out the outer ring for the shape at bit. There a quite a few guys putting these lights into some factory buckets on here. So we will know exactly soon. Because of the shape of the 5" it is pretty time consuming. But it just depend on how bad you want something. Those lights make the front of Greg's Bubble top.
They plug into a standard H4 connector.

Do you think they would fit the factory bezel on a Dart?

They have fit every bezel we have tried them in so far. The headlight bucket need trimming to fit the bigger back side but that has not been to much work. The 5.75" lights are more work then the 7" lights.

I'm pretty sure they will, but trimming will be needed behind the light. Shouldn't be a big deal though.

I have had these lights in the jeep for a few weeks and have had only one car flash his lights at me. I hot that once a week with the old lights in the jeep just because it was lifted. They are not nessesarily brighter but they just carry light better and further. The same reason the OEMs don't run hids factory, but they do run leds. Plus these lights are dot legal. You really have see them in person to get it.

Wow. I can't believe how many people think $1,000 headlights are just what they were looking for. They look nice, but, a grand? What am i missing?If you drive much at night with sealed beams you're most likely missing a lot. Good lights are very good insurance. Depending on your deductables, the lights may be cheap compared to hitting an animal....which are major threats in my area. Then there is the durability factor of LED compared to high output halogen. That said they are still expensive but the price on LED's for vehicles and buildings will come down with competition and manufacturing efficiency and volume.
What amazes me is how much money people will spend on non-functional bling just because they think it looks cool.

Roger, do you have any daylight photos of the Hi beam/ Low beam lights installed on your jeep? When I see them, I can't stop thinking about spiders!
Are you going to use the black internals around the headlights or more reflective coated part?

Due to some pricing changes in the dealer structure we had. We have now been able to lower our pricing quite a bit on the 7" lights. The 5.75" light price has not been able to change much due to the lack of sales in that size.
Checkem out on our website.

The 69 Chevelle might be a tough one. I have sold a couple pairs for chevelle but not sure if they have been installed or gotten a public picture level yet if you know what I mean. We maybe putting some in the Fairway Chevrolet 70 Chevelle project in the Project section but that has not been confirmed. But the 69 chevelle should be the 5.75" light. Here are some pics of them set up in a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

They did require quite a bit of work to install in the 62.
