Ironworks now selling the 5.75" and 7" JW speaker headlights for your project.

I stumbled onto these headlights a few month ago. I have wanted to upgrade the lights in my wife's Jeep for a long time. The stock lights just suck in the new Jeep Rubicons. Then I began looking for some light ideas for Greg Weld's bubble top that would work good and give us a more modern look. Sean Smith suggested I look at the Harley Davidson Led headlight for the project. I went down to my local dealer and checked out the headlights They were sweet, but I did not want the front of Greg's car to say "HARLEY DAVIDSON" across the front 4 times. Well Then I found the manufacturer, JW Speaker. They make the light for Harley. I did some calling around and found out they were the hot ticket to make the lights better in my wife's Jeep also. I told a few car building buddies about the lights and sold quite a few to guys wanting something more for lights on the car. So here we are today.


The 5.75" lights are a bit more difficult to install. They have a really big back side that make the work needed to install they a bit more difficult then the 7" lights. You will see the difference in these shapes of the lights below.

These are the 7" lights

So I took some pictures of the lights in the jeep with the stock lights on low beams.

The lights seem a bit dimmer, but the light really carries further and lights things up so much better. It also has a wider pattern so you don't have just the front of the car lit up in front of you. It really carries out to the sides of the Jeep. The light path is also taller. It's like a more penetrating shot gun blast of light over just a spot light of a stock light. You will also notice that these lights hit the ground much further out not wasting the light beam on the ground where you can't see. These lights have a projector beam inside to shoot the light out further.

Now on to the business end. These lights are expensive but so is quality anything these day. They are MADE IN THE USA. They only run on 2 amps of power.

The price for the 7" lights is $517.00 Each and the price for the 5.75" lights is $583.00 Each.

If your interested in purchasing these lights let me know. My shop number is 661 399 8999 and my email is [email protected].

If you have any more questions let me know.

Is the price for "each" or a "pair"?

Those are cool! Will they bolt into a stock 7" sealed beam location? Independent of depth.

I like that the draw such few amps!!

Any special wiring considerations? Just power (hi and low beam) and ground?

Swapped them out on my wife jeep yesterday in 2 hours. Just had to thin out the outer ring for the shape at bit. There a quite a few guys putting these lights into some factory buckets on here. So we will know exactly soon. Because of the shape of the 5" it is pretty time consuming. But it just depend on how bad you want something. Those lights make the front of Greg's Bubble top.

They plug into a standard H4 connector.

I will definitely be buying these, but it will have to wait a bit. Another great benefit is they are DOT approved. Sweet looking too.

Do you think they would fit the factory bezel on a Dart?

They have fit every bezel we have tried them in so far. The headlight bucket need trimming to fit the bigger back side but that has not been to much work. The 5.75" lights are more work then the 7" lights.
