I am a 30+ yrs otr truck driver. I have driven through every state in the USA. I use 80/100watt bulbs in my standard headlights. I use HELLA motorcycle headlights with 90/130watt bulbs, mounted on top of my cab. The beam pattern for motorcycles and cars are different. These work fantastic on highbeam out to about 1mile. The low 90w lowbeams are great for hills where your standard headlights are pointing up, the overhead lowbeams are pointing down. Works great for curves just over the hill. I actually made adjusting screws for the top mounts. In onder for your lights to do a good job they must be aimed correctly and stay that way. Most vehicles on the road at night have headlights that are very poorly aimed. The only way to aim your lights is at night on a empty road. Good luck to you all. Safe driving!
Hella give you good light, I even installed hid in hella. Give you insane good light, it's a good upgrade if you want good high beam. Led are not the best option for high beam.
If you got caught running lights on top of your cab here in the United States, The state trooper that stops you will quite possibly literally butt rape you on the hood of his car. You would have to be out of your mind to run something like that on the highway here.
The cheap LEDs can be used as a great upgrade, if you've got an older vehicle with 4 sealed beams. Just put two of them in place of the high beam bulbs and you get a massive upgrade that you only turn on when there's no traffic in front of you. Safe, effective, and dramatically less expensive than all the bulbs this channel recommends. I did this with my trucks 4x6" bulbs, using LED headlights this channel claimed were terrible, and the improvement was massive. Now I'm looking for some 7" bulbs for my Mercury, and I'm probably going to go the same route. They also didn't talk about which of these bulbs will fit in old sealed beam applications, as they claimed at the beginning of the video.
No shit dude haha wtf?! I'm not doing an expensive restoration or overhaul I just want some decent bulbs that are a bit brighter. Spending a mint on bulbs just seem frivolous and stupid
Yes, there is so much crap out there. Thank you thank you thank you!!! Looking for probably THE ONLY 41 Chevy Truck dually on The Big Island of Hawaii. The Holleys would be smart but I really want the cool look day-time running light to warn people I'm coming and clear/amber like the Morimoto sealed 7, Vision X7RD or JW speaker 8700J2. 41 Chevy has a huge bucket that may/will need to be modified....Your thoughts?
I ride a Street Glide Special and thanks to this video my search for the perfect headlight is finally over. I really like the wide beam of the Morimoto Sealed 7 2.0 and the high beam is simply amazing. Thanks for making this video your saving people money and saving lives.
Wouldn't a LED loke these Angels Eyes drain so much from a Motorcycle alternator, causing it to fail early? Also, doesn't it produces too much heat? Sorry if my questions sound stupid, I'm new to it.
Great questions-no need to worry, we’re happy to help! LEDs, like Angel Eyes, actually require significantly less power than traditional halogen bulbs, making them much more efficient and easier on your motorcycle's alternator. As for heat, a well-built LED unit will include a proper heat sink to manage and dissipate heat effectively, so overheating isn’t a concern. However, with low-quality lights, the heat sinks might not be as efficient, which could lead to premature failures. If you stick to high-quality LEDs, you’ll get better performance, efficiency, and reliability for your motorcycle.
Any specific recommendations for a 2006 Yamaha Royal Star tour Deluxe. I’m having a hard time finding an led that is plug and play. Thanks for all the great info
This bike takes a 9003/H4 bulb for both Low and High beams! The S-V.4 has always done well in these applications, I highly recommend these: www.headlightrevolution.com/s-v-4-led-headlights-h4-9003-bulbs-HRH4V4_2?quantity=1
I had J.W. Evo II on two Miatas, I simply loved them. I'm glad I came across this video, saved me from wasting money on the Movotor Chevy C/K pickup lights...
If you can find them (and have the budget), I'd grab the 90mm Hella quad buckets that Fiero1Fan or Synthesis made back in the day, and toss a pair of the Hi-Lo Morimoto Sealed3 units in. They're AWESOME. That's what I'm doing with my 85 GT but I'm still debating on whether I'm gonna do quad high or quad low beams 🤷♂️
@Headlight Revolution So at the end of the day if you had to pick one of these lights for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK unlimited Rubicon and don't look at the money $$$$ witch one would you go with ???
I'd say I have THREE choices to pick from. If you want sheer performance, the Morimoto Super7 is hands-down your pick. If you want a clean OEM+ look, go with the Holley Performance RetroBrights! 💡 1. Morimoto Super7 Bi-LED Headlights (Rugged look, INSANE performance - best in market) www.headlightrevolution.com/jk-wrangler-super7-headlights?quantity=1 2. JW Speaker Evo J3 LED headlights (casual look, great performance, extra additions) www.headlightrevolution.com/JW-speaker-Model-Evo-J3_2?quantity=1 3.

I just pulled the tool box out to the start installing xprite halo in my 2005 TJ. I am watching this prior to turning screws. Now... Sir proceed. OK, one video later and I'm back. I think I'll ship the xprite back and order the KC a name I'm familiar with, thanks.
It's such great humor listening to Harley guys trying to figure out how to upgrade their motorcycles to what comes on most motorcycles stock. Harley says they have a premium motorcycle but yet they make you buy the premium Parts at an extra cost. Just so you know I still have three Harleys and over 450,000 miles on them so I am not a Harley hater but I am a realist
I’ve got an 1980 Camaro Z28 and have been looking for a stock looking improvement. I really appreciate the suggestion to use the Holley Retrobrights. Thanks!!
Can you guys provide measurements on the Super7 2.0? I want to mount this on my bike but I can’t find any measurements on any websites. Of particular interest is the depth.
the thing with my H-D is all the harness connectors in the back of the bucket .... it's might not be as tight as some vintage cars, but it's a heck of a puzzle when it's a tight fit.
This is the best comparison video on UTube that i can find. I was looking into the jw 8700 adapt 2 till you show it only put out 210 lux lowB. BUT i did find the JW Adapt 2 8790. Same headlight but it clames to put out 850 lux lowB. You think its a upgrade from the 8700 shown in this video?
I have used Sunpie brand in my motorcycles for years and many bikes. All my friends seen mine and bought their own. Never had a problem with them. They light up the road curb to curb and far ahead. Road signs are visible way in the distance.
I’m looking for a headlight upgrade to my first gen Mazda mx5 headlights. Does anybody know if the recommended headlights will fit? He talked about some of the models being too big for certain car models.
You are going to LOVE that upgrade! Those Super7 headlights are the brightest 7" headlight on the market right now, and the 4Bangers are also the best performing pod light on the market right now! needless to say, you are in for a huge treat the first time you turn your new lights on at night! 💡
great video , any reviews on the LOYOLIGHT king kong ( jl style )- starting to see a fair a few of these getting fitted , im wondering how they compare to stock jeep jk lights , not doubt , the higher end headlights will out perform ,
so the sealed beam is brighter than the halogen on main beam ! is this because the top half of the headlight unit is out of focus for the position of the main beam filament.
We have played with these lights in the studio before but we have not had them in a video yet sadly. While there is certainly worse headlights out there than the Philips you mention, they still are not worth putting into your vehicle from our findings. As for a 7" HID shootout, I'll see what we can do! Options are going to be hard-going however as the market is moving towards a primarily LED selection!
@@HeadlightRevolution thank you. Yes it would be interesting to see because I want to keep the look somewhat close to stock. The holleys look good but I was hoping for more lux. I feel the sylvania silverstars would get by just fine. I'd just like to see what the brightest and best 7" headlight is out there. I'm tempted to get some H4 GTR 2.0 bulbs and throw them in a H4 housing but I feel it would cause a lot of glare.
Me watching this video 2 weeks before i ordered my Movotor headlights and now after they have been delivered 😂. Thanks for the info , I shall mount them soon 😅
Does your Porsche use 7" round headlights? Our database is showing 9003 bulb type for the OEM reflector headlights, not a sealed beam headlight. Shoot us an email or give us a call so we can help - sales@headlightrevolution.com or 218-755-5200
Ahhh, I just bought an LED 7” headlight from Walmart with a “Mad Hornets” brand name that is identical to the JW speaker adaptive headlight, but only $180. I am regretting this.. probably going to return it once it arrives. Question: for a retro styled motorcycle, would you recommend an LED bulb upgrade from the factory halogen? Or will that cause lux issues? Is the safest bet to go with Holley? Thank you for your time.
Hey Joe! Thanks for your comment. I have no personal experience with the "Mad Hornets" brand housing that you mentioned but judging off the name and the fact that I haven't heard of it personally, I can only imagine the performance may not be as desired. For a retro motorcycle, the Holley housing is PERFECT for that period-correct look while boosting your light output for safer riding. They will be loads brighter than the factory sealed beam housing and you'll hardly be able to tell it's an aftermarket housing! I run one single 7" on my Cafe Racer and it is absolutely perfect. Check out the Holley housings here: www.headlightrevolution.com/complete_housings/universal_sealed_beam/custitem_cat_facet_brand/Morimoto?order=commercecategory:asc
@@HeadlightRevolution thank you! I have a 2017 BMW R NineT Racer, so similar style I’m sure to your café racer, so I agree the Holley light looks like the best option. Thank you for the video and comment response!
Great Video! Really detailed explanations on why each option is a good or not so good solution. I would like to see estimated price points on each option as well to help categorize all 23 different variations . Also would love to know what the Lux count and performance is on the OEM JK LED upgrade option for comparison purposes.
ya know. Rigid makes infrared lights that can be used for offroad navigating using night vision. Being a night vision/firearm enthusiast, i'd be very curious to see you guys do a review on them. That would probably require a whole different type of process, but it sure would be cool, plus i wonder if there are other brands that compete in that spectrum?
Vision X was my takeaway, too. I had to rewind the video then take notes and...I'm going with Vision X VX series for the main and spot lamps for my Harley.
I’m surprised you didn’t test the Procomp LEDs for Jeeps. I got them as a deal from an off-road convention event, but I still think they were better than my JL’s LEDs. However, thanks for this… I’m trying to figure out what to get for my new to me Liberty.
Would the Holley Retrofit need any adapter or is is plug n play?. I have an 87 SS ElCamino & hate driving at night cause the flashlight on the IPhone is brighter than the stock lamps.
Thanks so much for this video review. Sorting through all the crap out in the Amazons and specialty vendors is a real nightmare. I'm shopping for a 1984 Vanagon and a 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ....both take 7" Round lights. Thanks to your excellent video, I know what to buy.....and more importantly....what NOT to buy. Thanks again!
Just going off beam pattern alone, I'm surprised that the Auxbeam headlights weren't rated better. They have a beam pattern that easily equals the Morimoto Super 7 2.0 and the factory JL/JT factory LEDs, and they're putting out more light than many other options too. In your video the Auxbeam pattern is certainly far better than any of the higher rated options from KC and JW Speaker. I don't think that first set of Auxbeam headlights is really any more juvenile looking than the Michael Bay Transformer-eyes Super 7 2.0s. I ran a set of Trucklites in my JK for about a year but ended up going back to the factory halogens because the Trucklite beam pattern was so uneven and I just couldn't get past the noticeable "V" hot spots. We recently picked up a 2021 JLU with the factory LED headlights and they're just so good! It has me wanting to upgrade the headlights in our JK (again). I really like the wide, even pattern of the Morimoto Sealed 7, I just wish they had more foreground light so I wouldn't need to run my fog lights all the time to fill in the foreground. I would love to see you guys add some of the options from Oracle Lighting into the comparison. They have a Bi-LED model similar to the Super 7 as well as a JW Speaker looking competitor. Given Oracle's popularity I was kind of surprised to see they weren't included.
I know this is pretty old post now but are there any good led headlight recommendations for around $100ish for a pair. I am purchasing for fleet of school buses and cant justify the prices of their top picks for ours buses.
@HeadlightRevolution Did you have a recommendation for something purchasing two lights or comes in a pair for range of $150? And still has some quality?
Pretty good review, but you should have specified a few more things about your testing scenario: 1. Brand and model of the lux meter 2. Distance between headlights if you were using 2 headlights at a time 3. Distance from the headlight(s) to the ground 4. Angle of the mounting plate with respect to the ground 5. Distance from the mounting plate to the base surface (wall) that you were measuring the lux off of That way, someone could duplicate your testing procedure with their headlights to determine how they compare. My first car had a 6V electrical system. Any light that is better than that is great...
@@HeadlightRevolution Question: Are there any good LED replacements for auxiliary lights, like the extra ones we use in Europe & Australia, as well as off-road - with H1’s or H3’s? Asking as the LED’s with a fan at the back won’t fit due to their total size/length.
I have a yamaha giggle c3 scooter and I need a LED headlight but I think that 7 inch is too big , can you help me to find a good led hedlight , please ?
Any recommendations for a heated headlight that will fit my Jeep JKU? I currently have Quadratec’s version of the JW Speakers 8700 (made by JW for Qtech),I think that’s the model, on both of my JKUs and after 2 warranty claims both sets are having issues again.
Very informative video. I’m looking for an upgrade for my ‘71 VW Super Beetle which currently has the original Hella 7” headlight, and I’m leaning towards Holly Retrobright. I’d like to keep the stock look.
Would be nice to see a non-projector series. The aluminum around the projectors is usually quite thin and usually only has a set amount of hours that it will work for and generally speaking it is not serviceable. So the 900.00 lights get thrown in the trash eventually. Most if them will last 5 years depending. So it would be nice to drop some money on serviceable lights.
If you're looking for serviceable, non-projector headlights you should check out the Holley x Morimoto Retrobrights! www.headlightrevolution.com/Sealed-Beam-Holley-RetroBright-LED-Headlights-7-Round

We love the Sealed7! www.headlightrevolution.com/morimoto-sealed7-2-0-led-jeep-7-inch-headlights-LF271-B_2?quantity=1
I have a set of the KC projectors and one went out. About 7 years old.
Have you ever evaluated Eagle Lights 7" LED headlights?
We can add them to the list!
this is how a review should be, no BS! nice!
Thank you!
Ahhh, I just bought an LED 7” headlight from Walmart with a “Mad Hornets” brand name that is identical to the JW speaker adaptive headlight, but only $180. I am regretting this.. probably going to return it once it arrives.
Question: for a retro styled motorcycle, would you recommend an LED bulb upgrade from the factory halogen? Or will that cause lux issues? Is the safest bet to go with Holley? Thank you for your time.
Hey Joe! Thanks for your comment. I have no personal experience with the "Mad Hornets" brand housing that you mentioned but judging off the name and the fact that I haven't heard of it personally, I can only imagine the performance may not be as desired.
For a retro motorcycle, the Holley housing is PERFECT for that period-correct look while boosting your light output for safer riding. They will be loads brighter than the factory sealed beam housing and you'll hardly be able to tell it's an aftermarket housing! I run one single 7" on my Cafe Racer and it is absolutely perfect.

@@HeadlightRevolution thank you! I have a 2017 BMW R NineT Racer, so similar style I’m sure to your café racer, so I agree the Holley light looks like the best option. Thank you for the video and comment response!
Great Video! Really detailed explanations on why each option is a good or not so good solution. I would like to see estimated price points on each option as well to help categorize all 23 different variations . Also would love to know what the Lux count and performance is on the OEM JK LED upgrade option for comparison purposes.
I have Mopar upgrade LED headlights, wonder how they stack up?
I wonder!
Could you do a review on 5.75 inch led head lights .
Sure!
ya know. Rigid makes infrared lights that can be used for offroad navigating using night vision. Being a night vision/firearm enthusiast, i'd be very curious to see you guys do a review on them. That would probably require a whole different type of process, but it sure would be cool, plus i wonder if there are other brands that compete in that spectrum?
Maybe we can put that on the to do list!
@@HeadlightRevolution Baja Design makes them too it looks like. Shootout time! lol
@@musician445 Baja is very expensive though, for what they are and do
night vision... yes yes yes
So which of these lights would you recommend for Harley-Davidson?
I don’t see any reviews on Oracle brand headlights. Any reason why not?
Vision X for the win! I may be a little biased though.... Sincerely, Alex with Vision X 😅
Hey Alex 👋🏻
Vision X was my takeaway, too. I had to rewind the video then take notes and...I'm going with Vision X VX series for the main and spot lamps for my Harley.
@@ElbertPoling Denali Electronics is Vision X's sister company. What Vision X is for offroad, Denali is for motorcycles!
I’m surprised you didn’t test the Procomp LEDs for Jeeps. I got them as a deal from an off-road convention event, but I still think they were better than my JL’s LEDs. However, thanks for this… I’m trying to figure out what to get for my new to me Liberty.
No problem!
Great test, thanks. (BTW google has never heard of Holley Retrobright!)
I cant find any thing on them either they sound like what i want.
They aren't out just yet, they are a new product!
Would you recommend the JW Speaker 8700 Evo2 over the Morimoto sealed 7 for a 2004 Jeep TJ?
Would the Holley Retrofit need any adapter or is is plug n play?. I have an 87 SS ElCamino & hate driving at night cause the flashlight on the IPhone is brighter than the stock lamps.
They're plug-and-play!
@@HeadlightRevolution thank you for the reply,video & research
I can't find the " DAYMAKER" anywhere can you help I want for my motorcycle
Does the “KC Highlights Gravity Reflector” fit a 2016 Jeep JK? If so, can you share the model number? Thanks in advance.

The 7 inch headlight pod also fits the Himalayan

Thanks so much for this video review. Sorting through all the crap out in the Amazons and specialty vendors is a real nightmare.
I'm shopping for a 1984 Vanagon and a 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ....both take 7" Round lights. Thanks to your excellent video, I know what to buy.....and more importantly....what NOT to buy. Thanks again!
No problem, best of luck!
I'd like to see this same approach with 5x7s
any of them good for a freightliner coronado? 🤔

Hello sir, those 7 inch headlights could fit to an suzuki samurai ? Thank you
Yes, they will!
Do you think the Morimoto Super7 2.0 will fit on a Hummer H2 with minor modifications?
It is possible!

Just going off beam pattern alone, I'm surprised that the Auxbeam headlights weren't rated better. They have a beam pattern that easily equals the Morimoto Super 7 2.0 and the factory JL/JT factory LEDs, and they're putting out more light than many other options too. In your video the Auxbeam pattern is certainly far better than any of the higher rated options from KC and JW Speaker. I don't think that first set of Auxbeam headlights is really any more juvenile looking than the Michael Bay Transformer-eyes Super 7 2.0s.
I ran a set of Trucklites in my JK for about a year but ended up going back to the factory halogens because the Trucklite beam pattern was so uneven and I just couldn't get past the noticeable "V" hot spots. We recently picked up a 2021 JLU with the factory LED headlights and they're just so good! It has me wanting to upgrade the headlights in our JK (again). I really like the wide, even pattern of the Morimoto Sealed 7, I just wish they had more foreground light so I wouldn't need to run my fog lights all the time to fill in the foreground.
I would love to see you guys add some of the options from Oracle Lighting into the comparison. They have a Bi-LED model similar to the Super 7 as well as a JW Speaker looking competitor. Given Oracle's popularity I was kind of surprised to see they weren't included.
We have included Oracle in other tests, and we have more going live soon! 🙌🏼
@@HeadlightRevolution I'll go dig through some of your other videos then. Thanks!

I know this is pretty old post now but are there any good led headlight recommendations for around $100ish for a pair. I am purchasing for fleet of school buses and cant justify the prices of their top picks for ours buses.
Is $200 a better range? Check out the Holley x Morimoto Retrobright headlights, they might be closer to your budget without compromising quality!
@HeadlightRevolution Those are $200 each light or $400 a pair. I was hoping for something around $100-150ish a pair.
@HeadlightRevolution Did you have a recommendation for something purchasing two lights or comes in a pair for range of $150? And still has some quality?
Has the 7” eagle lights ( led ) been tested?
Not yet!
Pretty good review, but you should have specified a few more things about your testing scenario:
1. Brand and model of the lux meter
2. Distance between headlights if you were using 2 headlights at a time
3. Distance from the headlight(s) to the ground
4. Angle of the mounting plate with respect to the ground
5. Distance from the mounting plate to the base surface (wall) that you were measuring the lux off of
That way, someone could duplicate your testing procedure with their headlights to determine how they compare.
My first car had a 6V electrical system. Any light that is better than that is great...
can i use these for my 56 tri five
Thanks for being blunt about the junk. Love it!
Always!

Question:
Are there any good LED replacements for auxiliary lights, like the extra ones we use in Europe & Australia, as well as off-road - with H1’s or H3’s? Asking as the LED’s with a fan at the back won’t fit due to their total size/length.
What do you recommend for a 68 Camaro?
Holley!
Holley!
What's the cheapest headlight I can buy that is good? I'm in a bad spot with money... I can't see anything at night
Probably the Morimoto Sealed 7!
is that truck light the same as Rigid industries 7"? looks kind of alike
They are similar but different internals soon.
I noticed y’all don’t have the KCs on your website anymore. ?????
We never did carry them.
u saved me so much time. Excellent work
Is the eagle brand any good

I really want to add the super7 2.0 to my 19 street glide but not sure if it'll fit depth wise. Any suggestions?
Any recommendations for a heated headlight that will fit my Jeep JKU?
I currently have Quadratec’s version of the JW Speakers 8700 (made by JW for Qtech),I think that’s the model, on both of my JKUs and after 2 warranty claims both sets are having issues again.
9:49 why does the outer part of this headlight look like it's emitting amber colored light? Is that a mod, or is that stock?
whats your oppinion of wisamic 7 inch led headlight?
nevermind you did have it in the junk list lol ty
Very informative video. I’m looking for an upgrade for my ‘71 VW Super Beetle which currently has the original Hella 7” headlight, and I’m leaning towards Holly Retrobright. I’d like to keep the stock look.
Good choice!
Would be nice to see a non-projector series. The aluminum around the projectors is usually quite thin and usually only has a set amount of hours that it will work for and generally speaking it is not serviceable. So the 900.00 lights get thrown in the trash eventually. Most if them will last 5 years depending. So it would be nice to drop some money on serviceable lights.
If you're looking for serviceable, non-projector headlights you should check out the Holley x Morimoto Retrobrights!

Will any of these fit a 2003 jeep liberty sport? And if so what would be the best ones? City driving but often go in the wood's
We have not test fitted on these vehicles. As long as they are a standard 7 inch round, it should work!
