Dude, Im a fan of the channel but as soon as u said JW Speaker, I immediately applied for a home equity loan so i could afford a pair. Those guys are nuts with there prices, best bang for the buck. Quadratec stealth headlights. Under $300 no loan needed!!!!
I was on board until you said $1600...lol. I bet they're badass and the ticket for those into the novelty of adjustable lights. I'd be interested in the 2nd generation that has the great lighting without all the fluff.
After spending 55-60 thousand for a Rubicon, 16 hundred is very reasonable for great lights. You want the most capable jeep for off-road then get the most capable lights. Cheap look-a-likes have horrible beam patterns. I spent that much to upgrade my motorcycle lights. The money was cheap compared to driving off a cliff or hitting a steer in open range areas plus I never had a 4 wheel driver turn left in front of me again in the daylight. There may be lights that can equal the Evo J3 for light patterns but the cost is not going to be 50 to 60 percent less and still have the same features.
I've had their headlights in my old Cherokee and lived them. Quality is 2nd to none. Guess you sold me on some for the Gladiator. Thanks for the review.
I think it is great you are getting some sponsorship opportunities. I've learned a lot from this channel and I know that sponsorships are a huge part of making a channel like this successful. Keep up the good work!
Sweet lights!! I like the turn signal incorporated into the headlight so you can use the turn signal light for aftermarket lights that’s cool! Nice job Ben!👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video. I'm running an older version of the J.W. Speaker headlights and think they are a great headlight setup. The only issue I ran into was the connection to my 2015 JK was poor and needed to zip tie them together. One thing missing in your video was how the turn signals worked. Other than that, great video and I enjoy following.
Being sponsored is more work then it what ppl think ....But ppl will keep watching Ben if he’s not a duche like some of those other sponsored ppl get then he’ll be ok to watch ......now would we all love to get 1600plus tax shipping for free or in eddies case tires axles wheels lifts at what ever his deal is he’ll yah we would but the biggest thing is social media foot print is what sponsors like synergy look for so TH-cam fb insta, it up just don’t be like some jeepers who think 60k needs another 30k in mods and not know how to handle ur rig
Thanks for the honest review. Yes, JW does lighting very well. $1600 for a set of lights to light the way... maybe if you've gotten all the other things on your rug where you want them but certainly not until then. At first I was like nooooo they got you too, but I hope you continue to keep it real. That down to earth perspective and do it yourself mentally is what keeps you a notch above the rest. 👍
I purchased both the HEATED J3's and a set of the Trail 6 Pro. I'm thinking about purchasing another set of the Trail 6 Pro. I have to make sure they will also work separately with the app.. I have a aftermarket steel grille/bumper combination and there aren't any holes for the Trail 6 Pro's. I will modify a bracket and mount a set into foglight holes and the other set will mount on my A-pillars to replace my Rigid pods. I've wanted these every since I first seen them. I got in on the PRE-ORDER on the very first day. I have been waiting for 5 months for these to come in! Well, They are finally here!! Install tomorrow.....Excited to try them out!!
I have JW2's now and from what I can see the new ones look a bit more refined, in conjunction with the pro6's so much better...I like the way you can control the brightness and color.. OH and forget the guy that might be in the bushes "SLINDERMAN" is behind you at 13:53 ....
Pretty cool lights Yo. Too much money for me dude. Although i do agree that a good quality headlight is a great upgrade for your jeep. I did a review on the Truck Lite LED's and they are worth the money opposed to the knock off version Thanks for sharing Ben.
I think JW Speaker makes some cool equipment but they are so ridiculously expensive for what they are. Your average set of $100 LED headlights will be a thousand times better than (non-LED) stock.
Great vid Ben. Lights...Cool, fun and all that....but not for a grand. JW Speaker definitely makes a great product, but they are catering to a limited market due with their high costs.
@@v1_rotate638 problem is they suck. They use shit leds and they cant throw light for shit. Better off woth morimotos for 300 or whatever. Fuck the party mode your gonna use it once after installing it and thats all
@@JKGearandGadgets I watched this video from HR .. I'm not sure but it looks like the Drifter is one that gets shot.. the light spread is like a spot light not a headlight.. Can you tell if it's the same light?? It looks the same.. thanks for all your help!! th-cam.com/video/peFLmu2MfTg/w-d-xo.html
@@firemanmike1619 yes for sure that's why I said biased, but it's not a problem as long as we know it, but he's not the only one who got them from jw speaker... So they are running a campaign and honestly, I saw there products in person and they are good, pricey and maybe ugly but good.
I purchased mine through Northridge 4x4. They gave me a $250 gift card for purchasing the J3's and $100 gift card for purchasing the Trail 6 Pro's. I'm going to use both and purchase another set of the Trail 6 Pro's.
you say they are gonna have adapters or whatever for the Gladiators, yet its been almost 3 years. They don't exist. At least not with how much I've googled for em. They're also god awful expensive.... like ridiculously expensive...
Still salty that when I asked they said they had no plans for 9" headlights for the JL, but that they were "developing" an adapter bracket for the 7" lights. Don't see myself buying JW Speaker lights for a long time. Very expensive and trying to sell me lights not even designed for my vehicle? Nah. I'm good.
I have an older set of earlier speakers lights that have the same type of awesome lighting. Yes they were expensive but worth every penny. Used the fogs for my driving lights the head lights were so bright. Hope you enjoy these they are the next line for awesome lighting. OMB
Compared to the last headlights you installed, these are much better‼️‼️ I have been using JW Speaker head/fog lights for a while now & they are the best for spread & cutoff. I recently upgraded from the Evo J to the J2 series headlights along with the turn signals & they do not disappoint. I agree with you that the $$$$$ is too much, I would rather put that amount to something else, instead of headlights. Welcome to the party Ben‼️‼️ Enjoy brah 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Sweet light, a tad out of my budget, but nice. Also when you were in the corn field right when you said i hope someone does not jump out, TH-cam put in an o'riley auto parts commercial, perfect timing lol.
How do these compare to the High beam offroad headlights? Since the price has dropped on these trying to decide if these are worth the significant price difference between the high beam off roads. Thanks!
I will say though even though my axial headlight are a great alternative over stock. They are just a placeholder. I do plan getting either kc, morimoto or jw speaker headlights. But for fog lights I really think all fogs should be amber, white lights just dont cut it when it's raining, snowing or dusty. Even in town.
I get that they are built with quality parts, and I get that they are American made, but I just can't see how anyone can justify $1000+ on 2 lights unless it was for a trophy truck or something. I picked up a cheap Chinese LED set off Amazon for $130 and it came with fogs too! And sure, they don't come with an app to play with or turn signals (although there are cheap ones with turn signals too), but I have them perfectly adjusted and the difference in light output is pretty negligible to justify spending like 10 to 20 times the amount. And the fact that if I broke one on the trail or something, I could just get another set, or two or three and still be in the green comparatively.
The issues with the amazon lights is that a lot of states are getting strict on LED laws and DOT approval, a lot of the knockoff lights are not actually DOT approved and just had them stamped in the manufacturing process. These are pricey for sure, and I don’t think they fit everyone’s needs, but they are a hell of a light!
I did forget to show the turn signals.... Here is a video of the turn signal function. th-cam.com/video/qyY7NuEy_v8/w-d-xo.html
No doubt
I will make a video this evening and include the link here.
Was just wondering about that
Was the turn signal video taken down?
Unable to view the turn signal video
This guy works hard
Mall krawler approved!
Killer video
Dude, Im a fan of the channel but as soon as u said JW Speaker, I immediately applied for a home equity loan so i could afford a pair. Those guys are nuts with there prices, best bang for the buck. Quadratec stealth headlights. Under $300 no loan needed!!!!
That’s cool I how it lights up good
I think I'm going to purchase these. Thanks man!
They have came down in price, and still work amazing!
@@JKGearandGadgets Significantly (price drop) and great to know!
Vision-X is where it’s at!
Lol parking lot meets. If you buy these lights, you are definitely a parking lot queen.
Would have liked to see the blinker work
I preferred the DV8 LED’s. Just as good, same quality and not overpriced like the J.W’s.
Amazing review, for amazing lights, but there are way too many drawbacks to justify the golden price tag.
I know a jeeper with really nice headlights
$900? Holy shit!
I have JW Speaker headlights and wow they are by far the brightest on the road. They are pricey but it's made it America! Buy nice or buy twice.
I was on board until you said $1600...lol. I bet they're badass and the ticket for those into the novelty of adjustable lights. I'd be interested in the 2nd generation that has the great lighting without all the fluff.
It does seem like they have dropped in price a lot now
Lighting is one of the most expensive subsystems in the auto industry.
Nothing is better than High Beam Offroad. Unbeatable warranty.
Those headlights are sooooo expensive, but cool looking. Thx for the review Ben.
I like your honesty!!
Didn't see the turn signals work.
In the first comment I put a link to the video showing the turn signals.
th-cam.com/video/qyY7NuEy_v8/w-d-xo.html
So you didn’t show the turn signal option

The connector is actually pronounced (DOY-CH).
I didn't see the turn signals operate.
In my comment first comment here, I have a link
I've had their headlights in my old Cherokee and lived them. Quality is 2nd to none. Guess you sold me on some for the Gladiator. Thanks for the review.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but you can also get these with a heated option which can come in pretty handy.
I think it is great you are getting some sponsorship opportunities. I've learned a lot from this channel and I know that sponsorships are a huge part of making a channel like this successful. Keep up the good work!
Hey did you ever try to install the eco J3 on the LJ? If so, how did you get the blinkers to work - just connect them to the speaker wire? Thanks
I saw the demo at 4wp. Ohmygoodness, they're cool!$$$$
Great video dude! Lights have been great and I'm excited for the heater function on my J3's come winter!
U will blind on coming traffic if your vehicle is raised.. I have seen many jeep do that.. I love those lights got in my semi 2 each side..
They look awesome, haven’t heard of the Brand before, but they look way better than my $50 led ones
Greatly appreciate your honesty.
Just ordered a set! Can’t wait for them to come in!
Sweet lights!! I like the turn signal incorporated into the headlight so you can use the turn signal light for aftermarket lights that’s cool! Nice job Ben!👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
You wore your hat backwards for this advanced headlight presentation? What am I to think?
Will the trail 6 bracket work on a set of Baja designs squadrons? 7:40
Awesome light 💡 thx
Headlights again!? Hell yea!
I can buy a TJ for that price!
I love your 4door red jeep and I love you keep up the good work and these lights look amazing
You did not show the blinkers
So, were those the driving lights towards the end of the video? Also, your blinker video is still on private.
Thanks for keeping it real.
Been looking for some new headlights. Thanks for the discount code! The wait begins :-)
KC gravity pro
No turn signal test?
Can I adapt to put in an LJ.
Get yourself a plastic welder for that grill.
Thanks for the video. They really are cool lights.
Great Video, totally dig it.
Where did you get your turn signal/running lights I can’t find anything like them
Does the day time running light work from the lights themselves, since its not a oem feature?
Looks great bro!
Can’t beat Matt’s team at High Beam! Their lights are incredible and affordable for everyday jeepers!
Yeah I went ahead and ordered the drifters. Can't wait to get em in and installed.
They are 🔥🔥🔥
LOL...bro...deutsch connector is pronounced like "doych" not "doosh" like summers eve :)
Yeah.. DOYCH... !!! Good video!!
I was just about to leave the same comment lol
Wow....those are niiiice!

Great video, I’m glad they hooked you up. You make great, down to earth videos. What’s next on the JT??
Wow. 41K suscribers now? Congratulations, man. Remember when you only had a few thousand.
What year is your jeep? did you need any additional flicker removal or something to connect the trail 6 into the old fog light circuit?
Thanks for the honest review. Yes, JW does lighting very well. $1600 for a set of lights to light the way... maybe if you've gotten all the other things on your rug where you want them but certainly not until then.

Those look very impressive. Hope the price comes down soon
No time soon.
Nice lights. Wondering how many more units they would sell if they lowered the price point.
I'll bring you my red grill if I can get those lights Ben.....
So you have had them for a year now..whats your overall impression? Worth the money?

I think JW Speaker makes some cool equipment but they are so ridiculously expensive for what they are. Your average set of $100 LED headlights will be a thousand times better than (non-LED) stock.
You get what you pay for..I have the J3 lights, but I got them for 700 on sale. These lights spank on others....
@@groberts1980 Honestly some $40-50 led bulbs from amazon do a decent job as compared to buying these for $1000+ dollars right?

Hahaha, you lost me at $1600 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. I can buy crappy amazon headlights for $100 that only last a year and have it take 16 YEARS before it’s cost effective to buy the JWs 😂

Lights may seem an excess commodity, but when you get stuck in elevated forest trails and have to find your way back, they are worth it.
I use the bi directional Oracle Oculus headlights on my JL. I love them and only paid $550.
So you don't like the HIGHBEAM OFFROAD DRIFTERS anymore??

Sadly no, but Offroad elements offered to do a discount to help bring the price down a little
