These LED headlights are the best of the best in the automotive lighting world, but they are not perfect, albeit close!
Recently we reviewed and tested a set of the J.W. Speaker #8900 7×6 LED headlights and I must admit that they are totally great! There are a couple small things about them that make them slightly less than perfect, but the pros majorly outweigh the cons! These headlights are great because they are beautiful, reliable and super bright. The problems that I had with these 200mm rectangular LED headlights is pretty minimal, but to some people it may be the difference between purchasing them or not. Granted they are the best on the market, but here’s a short list of the problems these headlights have:
1. Price: These things sell for a little less than $600 each! If you must have the best, then it’s no argument, but for most of us mere mortals this price tag may break the bank.
2. Branding: The word “SPEAKER” is embossed on the inner face of the light in big bold letters, symbolizing that it is a product of the J.W. Speaker Corporation, but it confuses most people. I hear the question all the time, “This is a speaker? I thought it was a headlight…” with a funny and confused look on their face. JW Speaker needs to redesign the housing to incorporate some type of “JWS” logo inside, instead of simply the word speaker.
3. City Light: These headlights have a small single-LED city light built in for use as an indicator or just a unique looking style when you are cruising. The idea is cool, but when you turn on your city light it also lights up one half of the entire housing, dimly, so it really just looks like your headlight is on and broken.
Please take a few moments to watch the entire video, and watch the night time driving demonstration near the end too!

your light effect wonderfull !!!
Thank you
Excellent! I wish these were in production when I retro fitted projectors in my 87 Trans am GTA in 2008! Would’ve saved me a lot of work. I love my retractable headlights to bad cars don’t use them anymore. You should add the 82-92 Firebird to the list of cars these fit.
Hey Carl, thanks for your comments!
I bought a set for my 2000 Jeep XJ. Best headlight upgrade you can do, albeit a very costly one. However I was able to get mine for a very decent price from a local police upfitter in the Portland metro area. I think the price was about 675 for the set, and well worth it.
RJ, I couldn’t agree with you more! There is no other 5×7 headlight out there that is as impressive as these are.
