They’ve been great so far, with an admittedly small sample size. Better than expected performance.

There was a fog that night, but it’s pretty representative of what you get.

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5337789113&icep_item=332516965140 I got these. Had them on for a couple days, just aimed them last night. definitely a HUGE upgrade over stock lights, can't say anything for longevity, though.
but for $50, I'm not complaining.

There are a couple that look similar but are more... $67-75.
These look close.

I'll drive it tonight and try to get a pic or two for ya! No comparison pic from stock, but I'm sure you already have an idea of what that's like haha.
I really like how they look on the jeep too!

My phone makes things brighter than they are with some nighttime photos, but it really didn't adjust these photos too much tbh.
I have the exact same lights and they work great compared to stock. My cheap driving lights are so bright, I can drive without turning on the headlights now.

What happens when you're up at almost midnight looking at the thread "what did you do to your TJ today?" Somehow you find yourself linked to this thread, spend 20 minutes reading this one, and placing an Amazon order for some new headlights. Thanks, guys, I blame you if my wife catches me ordering stuff on her Amazon account!
My Amazon spending is limited ONLY because my wife is on my account too.
Lmao. But she doesn't have my Ebay account! Lol. Or my Paypal or Paypal Visa!So ya. I bought my knock off headlights on Ebay.
Well, these nice-looking knock-off Truck-Lite headlights finally came in. Got them installed and will say the process was really simple. I do have a few questions.
1. When aiming these lights, what am I looking for? How far away should I be?
2. On the passenger light, the adjusting screw at the 10 o'clock position stripped. What are my options? Adjust with a pair of pliers or replace the whole headlight saddle? Anyone know where to get one at a decent price?
3. You'll see from the pictures, I've got some sort of shadow that is not lit up at the 5 o'clock position on the road.
Picture 1: Stock Set Up
Picture 2: Truck-Lite knock offs installed
Picture 3: Stock Low-beams
Picture 4: LED Low-beams
Picture 5: Stock Hi-beams
Picture 6: LED High-beams
Picture 7: LED low-beam on the road.
Picture 8: LED Low-beam at 20' from the house.

Did something silly and accidentally scratched up one of my headlights when installing. Anyone have a quick fix to get scratches out of headlights?
Can try to buff them out after very careful
sanding of the scratch. Maybe use something called Displex for polymer polishing. It all depends on how bad the scratch is

It’s just a bit of scuffing and a surface scratch. I know long term they will get scratched like everything else on my Jeep but I’d like to keep them looking sharp for as long as possible.
The headlight repair kits work wonders on a drill. Should polish right off.
Going back to my previous post, Displex (I just read the package) should not be used on polycarbonate.
OP
Personally I wouldn't worry about it, but a little polishing compound and a polishing wheel should take care of it.
