LED Lighting... again...
I do a lot of night based track sessions. There is lighting on track, but my headlights are always so weak. I was looking at these for a test:
https://www.amazon.com/Jiuguang-Pair-Headlight-6000K-Wrangler/dp/B075GB8PD5 Yes they are from China and they don't particularity look great... Thoughts?

You're gonna get what you pay for with these. I would not trust my headlights to an unknown. JW Speaker, Truck Lite, and a few others make excellent 7" round LED and HID headlights that are used in a few OEM applications (Harley Davidson for one, possible Jeep but I'm not sure).
I would probably stick with halogens unless all of these were true: 1) You already have H4 or H1 housings in good condition. 2) You're using 100/55w or 100/80w bulbs from Philips, Osram, or Flösser...maybe Sylvania. 3) You have headlight relays installed. |

Have you thought about one of those LED light bars for trucks?
Plenty of choices, size outputs, cheap. I think it will be the evolution of the early rally light pods.

I thought about the light bar. It would fit well in the front bumper. I have one of those RSR style bumpers so I could put it in the front center cutout. This 7" light just seemed like all I have to do is drop it in. *shrug* I've tried a bunch of this kind of cheap ***** before. Most of them failed as expected, but some worked out really well.

Banned but not out, yet..

Or you could drop a grand plus on J.W. Speakers. Am still in shock looking at their prices, but it might be different if I ran the car in enduros or Paris Dakar or after dark.
