What 75W lights? Do you have a link?

These say they are 75w:

These say they are 36w:

No idea, perhaps the bug-eyed 75 watt lights are harder to sell. That 75 watt design reminds me of a fly's eye lol.

Buzz buzz. Lol.

I'm also looking at these. I like the thought of having an extra, larger turn signal.

I stopped looking at them when I heard they were plastic and the Truck-Lites were glass. I'd rather have glass than easily faded and scratched plastic. Also Truck-Lites are made in the US which is always a plus. They're the closest thing I've seen in an LED headlight that retains a more "traditional" look.

On the comment about radio interference when the LED headlights were on is similar to an issue I am seeing after adding some LED floodlamps to my rig. All the lamps are run with Relays and common ground, and the radio is on it's own power feed but uses the same grounding point. When I turn on 1 LED, I hear a slight static. If I turn on my LED lightbar and rocklights, the static is so bad I can no longer hear the station on the radio. Switching them off again stops the static.

What's the best course of action? Do I run new power and ground directly to the radio, or is there some Diode that I need to install on the LED circuits? TIA

Cheap LED lights can cause bodacious amounts of RFI. Especially when there are many LED lights like light bars have. There's no easy way to cure it since it's RFI (radio frequency interference) that can radiate through the air. My above comment on this subject says only that I'm having no such problems with my pair of knockoff LED headlights.

Thanks Jerry, it was a comment from someone else further up the page that I was referring to.

Reading the truck-“lite websites I think all of their lights are Polly carbonate, not glass
