I did this as well. They work great and haven't had a problem in 4 years now.
I began reading this thread back when it started and then, when the link to pirate was posted, I read it. I thought to myself that it would be awesome to have LED headlights that actually worked well. Then I looked up JW Speaker 8700 series 7" round headlights and they were $800 per pair! Am I looking up the wrong headlights? I figured they would be a couple hundred but $800?!?
WT? Is there anybody in this thread that is seriously considering dropping $800 on a set of headlights? More power to you and I would certainly like to know if you get $800 worth of satisfaction out of the difference in performance.
I went with the JW's... I absolutely love nice lighting in vehicles. I don't mind spending money on something that I use often and increases safety.
Here is a pic of them when I got them mounted for the first time, test fitting everything for paint.
