Ok, latest update. I bought a set of JW Speaker Evo 2 8700 LED headlights
J.W. Speaker 554941 J. W. Speaker 8700 Evo 2 DOT-Compliant Dual Burn LED Headlights | Summit Racing and installed them. As part of my wire harness upgrade I had already installed a headlight relay from
@crackedback, which made a pretty significant difference with the brightness of the regular old incandescent headlights I had been running. But since the days have started getting shorter again already and my commute will soon be in the dark on my way in to work with 60 miles of driving and a decent chunk of that in "deer country" I wanted to upgrade as much as I could. Since
@slantsixdan listed the JW speaker headlights as the best out there, I bit the bullet and bought them.
