I thought Harley was trying to rip us off when they started offering these for $400+ each last year. I almost bought a black one for my Street Glide until I read the reviews on the Harley Forum. Hope they last longer on the JKs than they do on the Harleys.

Please explain. I've been following these lights for some time.

What does that mean? They are rated for 40,000 hours. Eveing assuming you run them 24 hrs a day (never get out of your Jeep), that is 4.6 years. Also they carry a 4 year warranty.

these lights RULE!!! but there is so much other stuff you could do with all that $$$

Here's a quick link. Looks like the early ones were bad about condensation and prone to failure. I haven't looked twice at them due to the issues people were having as a headlight is very important on a motorcycle.

It looks like those hd riders experiencing problems are with different lights. I know jw speaker makes a model similar to our 7" version (or maybe same) as a main light, not auxiliary, which guys use on their hd. Granted, that is a problem to weigh on a bike, I own a hd, but those problems don't seem like they'd relate to us directly.

Just reread post. He does have the jw speaker main light, but I think his problem is not with that, it's with only auxiliary lights and I'm not sure jw speaker makes those.

The earlier ones (#73390-10) had issues. The later ones (#73390-10A) don't. That's what I can tell. Hopefully your not buying the ones Harley found defective.
