    Took me a few tries to adjust them properly, but now I never get brighted and I can see great with them. Takes a little more fine tuning

    Glad I asked. Didn’t even think about the lack of heat on an LED. Would have become a nightmare when it starts snowing again.

    Actually I think JW Speaker now has heated LED Trailer lights.

    I have a set of JW Speakers in my transport truck, and a set of $100 off brands from amazon in one of my dump trucks. In a year I will report back and give you my opinions on them!

    I’d like to know how they both are. Living in the land where we get snow 8 months a year I should probably get the heated JWs.

    Do the LED headlights draw considerably less amperage than sealed beam? I have good night eyes and my old yellowish sealed beams are just fine with me but, If they draw a lot less amperes I might consider them.

    Yes they draw a quarter of what a halogen draws.
