Thanks for an excellent review. I bought some 8700 Evo J2 lights for my Australian TJ - they are plug and play with DUAL BURN but I did have to connect little park light cable into the blue cable on the JWS to light the half halo. Easy fit and so bright.

EXCELLENT!! Just what I needed to know to make an informed choice. The warranty period has been changed to "5 years."

Love your in depth reviews. I would like to see you review another JW Speaker headlight, model 8790 A series.

Thanks for the great review. I just ordered JW Speaker headlights, fog lights, and tail lights.

These videos you did are fantastic, but what would be REALLY great is if you could do a baseline fixed variable....a bone stock vehicle with HID projectors, and a bone stock car equipped with LED headlights, like an Acura MDX. This would put the numbers in perspective. Great channel, keep it up.

Hey guys, just got the Evo J installed on my JK, and damn if these aren't the coolest lights on the market! Thx HR for this vid, helped me decide which lights to put on (no brainer since Evo J use no harness!!)

I put the 8700 Evo 2 in my Harley. An excellent upgrade over stock!

GREAT comparisons, thank you !!

I got those for my Jeep JL so far I’m please about it...Sadly didn’t see this video before to educate my self what to buy, now the only thing that bother me is that this new 8700 generation still 7’ round which is much smaller from the original 9’ headlights from the new Jeep Wranglers JL...I still need to buy the adapters kit in order to be installed.

I'm still trying to think between this or the vision x vortex XIL-7RD

hai , can you please make a comparison video of the jw speakers 8700 evo 2 and the 8790 adaptive lens ,specially of their high beam output on the road , thank you

Will this work for a 2014 jeep jk (diesel version)? Does the gas engine and diesel use same electronics?

Whats the best option for my 2000 Jeep TJ Sport?

On your 7" LED comparison; I would like to see the color temps of these as more studies are showing temperature of the color is more important than Lux in what our eye's can see.

Can i put these lights in my jeep cj-5

Not a fan of the looks, but you can't argue with the performance. If only the nightsuns worked this well..

How do these hold up in the winter with the ice, snow and the bitter cold of Manitoba? Also any recommendations for buy in Canada?

When aiming this, how far out should I have the hotspot spanning? This video looks like you let it stretch about 60-70 yards or so. I'm not sure, but that seems like it'd be set kind of high and bothering oncoming drivers, no? This is on a motorcycle.

I have a 17 JK, from some research if I wanted to upgrade to these I would not be able to due to the fact of the factory led headlights that came with the JK. Does anyone know of any headlight I can get that's an upgrade from factory led headlights? I have JW Speakers Tail Lights, so I would like to match the front lights if possible.

During the yard test, with the yard signs, was this test based on 1 headlight or 2?

Thank God...an American company that still makes its own products in its own country. That is reason enough for people to purchase them...I plan to.

the evo 2, does it have the option to add ring? and use it as park light?

Verry good information. Greets from Belgium Europe

How well do these lights shed ice during sub-zero temps?

Can it be use for a harley davidson flthtcu 2015?

are you using one headlight or two ? just a note from some one who has seen deer at night while driving .man I could have used these..

I find it funny that you will mock the cheap lights over the blue in the beam but don't even mention it for the JW Speaker and you can clearly see that it is there. As well, the JW Speaker lights are over rated. I tried a set on my H2 and went back to my OEM lights since the light output was crap! And yes they were genuine JW Speaker Lights that I purchased from a local JW Speaker Dealer, I was definitely not impressed. I am actually running a set of the Nolden LED lights on an H1 now and they blow the doors off the JW Speaker for clarity. Just my experience. I guess everything really comes down to a matter of preference. The next set I plan to try will be the KC Gravity Headlights those look amazing!

Is this or other 7inch headlight you reviewed for motorcycles ?

when you talk about generic Chinese brand are you talking about Lumen headlights?

Great video btw

Rigid Industries makes 7” headlights but no one reviews them. I’m willing to bet they will outperform most if not all 7” lights.

How hard would it be to install a full halo ring like what Oracle Lighting are doing in the black version of the JW Speaker? Would this void warranty?

Does the 8700 evo 2 fit a 2018 streetglide

IS THERE ANY OPTION OF LEFT HANDER/RIGHT HANDER CAUSE IM FROM HONGKONG (RIGHT HANDER) ABOUT THE LIGHT SHADOW

Headlight revolution always talk about how bad the build quality is on chinese and how good those branded are like jw speaker trucklights and so on. But not one single time have they ever taken a lamp apart to show the internals. Would be fun to know what is hidden inside and to see if it is that much differences. Give it a year or two and the cheap ones will proberly be as good. 800 bucks for a pair of evolution 8700 j2 is ridiculous. I saw a chinese knock of kit with two head lights, 2 fog lights and the middle break light for 74 dollar. I do not care how good or bad they are but the thing is that they can manufacture and sell 5 lamps for 1/10 of the price that 2 jw speaker cost. Proberly this set is not as good as the jw speaker are but it still does not make sense when jw speaker want 800 dollars. I also heard from a seller that the new jw speaker 8700 evolution J3 will cost about 1600 dollar! wtf! are they nuts? By the way, the chinese shit looked as good on the pictures on e-bay as the jw speaker, as a matter of fact the aluminium casting on the back looked better made than jw speakers version. Of course, pictures does not say anything about the light they will produce but again, 74 dollars for 5 lamps and they look more or less the same and are also made of alumunium houses and poly carbonate lenses. those branded led lights are so over priced it just make me sick. by the way, i´m not a fan of china or chines products at all, as a matter of fact I do not like china at all and think the world would be better with out them. But company like jw speaker and ther rivals are just to money horny. My bet is that the production cost of a pair of 8700 evolution J2 head lights are less than 15 dollar.

Is there a version with RGB halo?

I dunno...this video gave me more the impression of a JW Speaker commercial than an objective test. I have JW Speaker headlights in a classic car, 4 model 8300s (I think). Admittedly they are an older model, but I have to say I have found their performance to be mediocre. They look cool, and have a very intense white light. The problem, is that the beams are so well controlled that there is no "bleed off" illuminating peripheral areas as you drive. You can see well where the beams shine, but the other areas remain black. It is particularly a problem driving through rural areas where animals like deer crossing the road are a problem. There is no beam coverage off the sides of the road to see on-coming animals that might be preparing to cross. The effect is one of driving while looking through a tube. Perhaps the newer headlights have addressed this problem, I cannot say.

does JW produce the daymaker Harley headlight?

is this fit new triumph street twin 2019? thanks!

does the one for the Jk comes in black too?

can i put on motorcycle

Holy $580!!!!! Fuck it... it's worth it.

Got these last year, still perfect. Great in our terribly harsh Canadian winters, so no worries about performance. They are perfect. Expensive, but perfect. Support quality people, vote with your wallets. Fuck china made bs ;)

visionX lights is shit. i've pluged it after one of your video and it has very bad light at all! Now wanna try jwspeaker evo j2, dunno what gonna wait

A $400 + headlight is just ridiculous and unaffordable for a lot of people that's why do they sell a lot of Chinese headlights

Forgot to mention “Extremely expensive”

Too expensive :(
