Thanks for the video! I installed the Rigid Industries LED headlights on my Cherokee about two years ago. They are stupid expensive but I would purchase again considering they have a three year warranty and they're more durable than their glass counterpart. I absolutely love them however, they have one flaw, snow and ice will build up on them.

I have a similar set and I want to tell everyone that who may not know. Snow won't melt off these so after a while you'll loose alot of light, "Ask me how I know". LEDs don't emit much heat in the light Patten. Instead the heat transfers from the led base it's self. Hence the heatsink.

Great comparison video! I recently purchased a brand new Subaru Forester with the base model halogen headlamps and was very underwhelmed by their performance. I ended up installing a pair of hella 700ff with 100 watt bulbs. For those interested I chose the European driving lamp pattern. I went this way because I really have a tough time with artifacting and most of these aftermarket lamp options have too strange of a beam pattern for me. Keeping everything halogen and using quality glass means that when I flip the switch I get more light but it's the same quality as the OEM which means it doesn't seem distracting. Sealed beam bulbs definitely suck (I'm a Audi 4000 guy!) And the solution has always been adding auxiliary driving lamps. Based on your review and the side-by-side comparisons I think I made the right choice with the hella 700ff and I think the combination with the hundred watt bulbs maybe set me back 80 bucks total. Obviously adding auxiliary lamps won't do you any favors when your on low beams, and some areas have pretty strict rules about running auxiliary driving lamps on the roads -but for me, in Vermont it works pretty well! one thing to consider if you choose to install a pair of aftermarket lamps is the quality of the harness and I'm glad that you took the time to point out the connectors. One thing that I do with pretty much every aftermarket lamp I install is that I tend to remove the housing and replace the wiring from the bulb all the way back to whatever relay I'm using to trigger the lamps. Many people would be surprised to find out that their driving lamps may draw close to 20 amps! I typically use 14 gauge wire if I'm installing 100 watt bulbs and doing independent runs back to the relay or if I'm wiring a multi lamp installation I'll use a 10 gauge primary wire to the installation location and then run 14 gauge from there. Because getting water in your electronics sucks, I always keep a couple packages of spark plug grease in my glove box so I can give it a healthy dollop if I pull connections apart on the trail or during a roadside repair. Overall I really appreciate your video and I think your channel is excellent! I will be installing a brace of lamps on my Jeep CJ7 in the spring and I think the side by side comparison has informed my choice about not going with one of these multi emitter lamp units.

I got a set of those amazon special multi-LED 5x7 (multiple sellers, they're around $40/set), I on rare occasions get flashed, they've been on the heep for about 2 years, they have very good over-all performance, they don't have the same hard-cutoff that yours do, and they probably trend a bit higher on low-beam. My fog-lights are actually set up to give me a wider cast so I can really see what's around those bends on I-5 in southern oregon. Sometimes the combo between them pisses off the truckers on the other-side. These do look like they have better beam quality than the other ones.

My wife’s 2011 Lexus GX 460 has stock HID projectors. It has the same cutoff line. It makes it a little spooky driving on dark country roads with just the low beams. The projectors make for a pretty sharp box of light. It took some getting used to but now I love them. We always run the fog lights to fill in the gap from the front bumper out to the headlight beam. I would suggest adding some flood beams pointing down to illuminate the dark space directly in front of the vehicle.

I bought these a few months back. I've been fairly happy with them so far. I hate the weird shadow projection between the vehicle and the headlight "spot" but the sides are great. Lots of deer where I live as well. Driving with them in the snow DO NOT turn the brights on. I also aligned mine using measuring tape/ garage door and tape. I'll be lifting my Cherokee this week and will have to realign them again to avoid blinding drivers. I also drive during nighttime hours each day during the winter so I'm also always looking for something better but not 5-600 dollars. (Qtec, trucklites)

I have a similar light on my TJ. I love them. I had the KC upgrade before and these are definitely brighter. I did have to adjust mine down a bit but it works. I only paid 80 for mine. The only thing I don't understand is the high beam being on the bottom. When I put the high beams on I see a lot better right in front of the jeep especially in raining situations. I've heard winter will be a pain though since these lights don't emit a lot of heat. Just waiting for the snow that was promised in ogden so I can test that. I too kept my previous lights just in case

Look's like a pretty big upgrade, that being said there's lots of room for improvement in the optics. I use some phillips led's in my XJ, they are the same as the trucklites. I can't really compare brightness to what you have, but the pattern is damn near perfect. Clean cutoff with a uptick on the right side for signs and viewing roadside, no dark or hotspots (other then what's there from the grill's in front of them) Even with heavy expanded metal in front there are more then bright enough to not need a lightbar. They were not cheap, but are also in a completely different league then these. A few technical notes, the more light you have up close, the more your eye's adjust to that level of illumination and your distance vision suffers. A extreme example is what happens when you turn the dome light on, or have a lightbar on the roof lighting up your hood. On the upside, if you have sensitive eyes having a lot of light up close can help diminish eye fatigue\pain from poorly aimed or hid's in halogen housings in the oncoming lane. If my car had 5x7's i'd install trucklites in a heartbeat, sadly most vehicles have specific housings now, so proper retrofits of lighting upgrades is near impossible (unless your car has a factory option for such)

Have found that there are a lot of quick to market companies trying to capitalize on well engineered products and unfortunately fall short of the engineering aspect. I like what the guys at Rugged Retrofits did utilizing existing projector housings and incorporating them into the 5x7 package. It's an HID set up that was plug and play with everything you'll need and a choice of bulb color/temperature. I opted for the 6K and with the proper cut off lines it's not annoying to oncoming traffic or those in front of you and provides all the light you'll need on the highway. I've have run just the headlights without my light bar on the trail with plenty of light.

I upgraded my 2010 JK to an unbranded set of 7" round LED's the difference being they are not the projector style like yours. They have crazy bright output and on high beam you can see the tops of trees. Similarly they do have a more distinct cut off line and I do get flashed from time to time even though I have them adjusted as low as I can go. The factory headlights were notoriously abysmal but now I can see the road so I am very happy with the new LED's. They do exhibit a slight flicker occasionally but not enough to annoy me more than the poor output of the originals.

Tanner you are 100% correct! The challenge is if you choose to go with a different bulb. The standard bulb provided by hella is a 55 watt which will be about 8A in the (or something). If you go to a hundred watt bulb or a hundred 50 watt bulb you need to make your own harness because the wires provided by hella would not be appropriate. I do like that hella is an awesome company and always sends their harnesses out with Bosch relays - definitely one of the better ones in my personal experience! I personally end up discarding the harness that comes with the lamp kits and make my own even if I'm sticking with stock bulbs because then I can have the capacity to uprate my bulbs without the hassle of tearing out all my wiring :-)

theres a lot of similar ones for 30-40 on ebay/amazon and they almost all work great. best cheap upgrade, no reason to keep your stock ones besides snow not melting with led ones

I recommend Sylvania SilverStar High Performance bulbs. They are Halogen but are alot brighter the standard bulbs. They give a pattern used to, but are brighter. They are about $50 for a pair of bulbs.

I bought led lights (bulbs only 35$ eBay)for my Hyundai 2002 that I use for work asoon as I bought it 4yrs ago. Definitely work it. Haven't gone bad at all . Is been 4yrs already if they go bad now it was definitely worth the 35$ I paid . It was easy to put in. Just remove the old bulb n place new one n plug them and your all set. I recommend getting them they are really great I use 6000k-6500k white

Run a bead of silicone around them. Most Chinese headlights aren’t sealed all the way.

Can confirm. Put Chinese LEDs on my JK and sealed the edge of the housing, back of the housing where the wires go in, and backside of the harness. They've stayed bone dry on a rainy tropical island and 2 typhoons.

Did you do the harness upgrade? I just did it on my 2000 xj with stock lights. Huge improvement. I just wondered if these would be much brighter with the harness. Roll Tide

I have these also, however my toyota pickup (1973) is getting a complete rmake so it will be a while before I can comment. From what I saw in your vid, looks to me it might be wirth tweeking the directional screws for the lamps. I bet you can get it a bit better overall doing that.

I got these same lights and was initially disappointed. They are very bright and appeared exactly like in this video. But he needs to adjust the beam higher like i did and now i couldn't be happier. Because of its sharp cutoff, at 25 ft. away i was able to adjust the beam only slightly below the center line and could now clearly see several hundred feet down the road. And as long as you have them aimed slightly to the right you won't get flashed. I haven't yet. I tried silverstars but they only lasted about a year. I hope these last the claimed 50,000 hours.

My dad has Halogens H4 lights and he said they are the best in the market and has lead glass and I can say it’s not LED so it’s not dim but hell that light can project hella far and has a good side lighting and without blinding other drivers and he said the only problem is that he doesn’t need any other lights to replace it , like getting a light bar so I think that can beat those LEDs but idk

Since they have such a strong cutoff, I would adjust them up for more projection and not worry about blinding others, unless you get flashed of course. Based on what I've seen, I'll stick with Halogens. If you want more side light, add fog/auxiliary lights on the bumper, which have a narrow vertical, wide horizontal beam pattern.

This is exactly what I opted to do - Hella 700FF Euro beam pattern with 100 watt bulbs. It's crazy that you can have more usable light while looking less bright at the same time. But I also don't mind globbing extra lamps all over my cars and Jeep, and it is legal in my state to do so.

Hi Tim, believe or not I have been thinking about these amazon/ebay head light replacements for my xj for almost a year now and finally my favourite channel has a review on them. I have tried a couple of LED H4 bulbs and even tho they were not bad for the price - illumination wise, my radio reception would always go to park once on and also I noticed they laid out irregular dark spots like shadows which I didn't like very much. I'm still contemplating wheter to go this route or not as I quite like the design of yours. Please let us know a bit later how happy you have been with them. thanks

Have the headlights been adjusted to compensate for the lift? I wonder if the "downhill issue" you guys mentioned would be resolved with adjustment/alignment.

Awesome video! I was thinking about getting these. Personally I probably won't for $90 when standard ones are so much cheaper and not much different. Also why did you check engine light blink after accelerating toward the end there? (around 14:30) Is that something I should worry about with my 5 speed? XD

It's a shift light for maximum efficiency. 97-01's had 'em. They come on real low in the RPM range. Around 1500 or so.
