Truck-Lite (27450C) Headlamp

I have over 4000 hours on these and they work perfectly. I have these in my jeep, which are known for melting the headlight switch when you drive at night all the time. The low amp draw of these headlights takes care of that! No more melted switches, and very nice bright lights. They seem kind of expensive at first but when you go a few years without replacing bulbs and switches, you'll appreciate it. I like these headlights a lot, this is my third set - I have all my jeeps outfitted with them now. Never going back to halogens or HIDs.Update February 2017 -Since writing the review above I have put another 3200+ hours on these headlights. I have not had a single failure or flicker of any kind. I was unlucky enough to hit a deer in my Jeep at highway speed a few months back, and my bumper and bullbars saved the vehicle from being totaled. The whole front clip cracked and the grill broke, the radiator got bent and one the headlight buckets (that's what the mount for sealed beam lights is called) broke and the headlight was pointing at the sky. IT STILL DID NOT FAIL! I fixed the damage to my Jeep and the same headlight is still installed and works without a problem! The lens did not even crack. This is an outstanding product.One tip - get a set of aux lights to go with these headlights and tie them into the hi beam switch - you wanna see bright... Wow!ASIN: B01EAN9EZYThese aux lights will blind oncoming traffic so that's why you tie them into your hibeams, but they work so well with the truck lites you'll be amazed. You can drive at night with sunglasses on!

Best sealed beam replacement available for the money. I actually replaced an H4 headlight assembly with this unit in my Kawasaki ZRX1200. Cut-off, throw, and beam pattern are excellent and vastly superior to most of the other options. My favorite part of these is how little light is thrown near the vehicle preserving your night vision and putting the photons down the road where they can bounce off of something that is useful to see.To get actual, useful light from your sealed beam headlights there are a few routes you can go. HID and LED bulb replacements are a non-starter. Not DOT legal for very good reason. Oncoming driver glare is horrible. Near field light return is high ruining your night vision. If you have H4s you can get these or the JW Speakers (slightly better pattern, but not worth almost double the money), upgrade your wiring and relay system for lower voltage drop and put in the Philips X-Treme Vision bulbs (expensive complicated, and shorter bulb life) or if it's a sealed beam do the wiring and get the GE Nighthawk sealed beam bulbs.Check the candlepowerforums for lots of good info and corroboration for these conclusions (I blatantly stole the recommendations from them and summarized it here to save you time.)

2-11-2022: I watched a YouTube video called "5x7 sealed beam led shootout" comparing various different beam patterns for these 5x7 sealed beam bulbs... And I tend to disagree with the video creator's conclusions... He highly recommended two other bulbs, enlisted this merely as a passing option... As I evaluated the beam patterns and relative brightness of each of the photos he shared, I felt that these bulbs, were going to give us the best results. He concluded they provided roughly average low beam improvement over the standard halogens, but the high beams were over twice as bright as the original halogens and the brightest of any of the 16 bulbs he tested. And I liked his photo of the beam pattern of these the most.Now sure it would have been cool to ditch the square bulb with a plastic trapezoid bezel, in place of a light that took up the entire area of the bezel but I didn't think about that.Now for $200 bucks, it would have been really nice if I was getting two bulbs at that price... (Taking off one star for that... They could at least sell them in two packs for a slight discount or something). The price seems a bit excessive but only receive one bulb, so make sure you buy these two at a time... But assuming they last me at least 4 or 5 years, I think it will have been worth the investment, and the level of safety via the visibility they provide. That's the only way I'll consider this a good value for the money. Right now, it feels like a rich guy's purchase...So they showed up today, and ran a quick YouTube search for how to replace them on this vehicle... I installed them this evening...And while you'd like to think that ease of install has to do with the bulb, it has more to do with the design of your vehicle. The four screws were quite rusted that held the retainer bracket in... one screw would not come out... but I was able to work around it. Push hard and low speed so you don't strip the screw heads. Good news was that the pin out matched, and i did not need to make any changes to the wiring...I did not make any adjustment to the beam angle when I installed these. And the hot spots were focused on ground roughly 20 to 30 feet in front of my truck. After doing a YouTube video search for "how to properly align my headlights," I broke out the 25' tape measure and a sheet of plywood for my 36" cutoff line... And I raised both bulb housing angles significantly by tightening the top center crew above each light. (Turn the bulbs off before you try to do this so you don't blind yourself).When I compared this to my other truck that had bulbs with three rows of round LEDs, I observed that those bulbs have absolutely no cut off whatsoever... Call me shocked... I love those bulbs and how bright they are, but compared to these truck lights, the other led bulbs suck. The truck lights can see a lot further down the road because the beams are directed & focused and I'm not as likely to get flashed by cars coming in the direction thinking I might have my high beams on as I blind them going down the road.... Might just need to buy another set of truck lights for that vehicle as well.I just installed these tonight, so I don't have a any road experience with them yet beyond my test photos, but given what my test photos show, I think I'm going to be very pleased.If we have a longevity problem or if anything changes, I will update this review....Dec 2020 update: the end of daylight savings time has struck again... And every night I'm driving home in the dark... I still love these headlights. The high beams are amazing on backcountry roads... And I haven't had anybody flash me for having high beams on when they were low. The low being visibility is far better than the original halogens... Still functioning just fine in the two trucks I've installed them in... Still a five-star item!

I put these in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and LOVE THEM. I've been tempted to purchase them for other cars but shied away because of price. They LOOK great with the smoked acrylic and really illuminate the road. You may get similar results with a Hella housing and a H4 LED light, but these look cool. Two things:The low beam features a tiny spot area that can be annoying from the driver's perspective. It seems to draw your attention toward the bright spot. Careful adjustment made this less noticeable.The lights run cool, so snow can collect on very cold nights. This obstructs the illumination and blurs the pattern when you most need light.
