    Yeah I couldn’t believe how expensive those genuine JJ headlamp hangers were, and then that doesn’t even include the lights. The 7” round is the way to go IMO also. You can slip some Cibie or Hella e-code lamps in there and get a super wide and sharp beam pattern on the road.

    I always thought that was neat how they color code the silicone hose couplers so you know if it’s the hot or cold side intake tubing.

    Probably wait till later on the headlights. The lights themselves aren’t all that expensive, was looking at the JW Speaker LED’s and they’re 5-600 for the pair and the brackets are about 350. The housings I want are the headwinds...that’s where it starts getting spendy at about $750 EACH. My other issue is I’m not crazy about the double JJ turn signals everyone runs with the rounds so I gotta figure something else out there...have to wait and see. I do like good beams and bright brights though. Anyone run the JW’s before?

    Nice find. Going to look sharp. I would run the 379 headlights with the regular old halogens myself but that's me. Good luck with it.

    For the money I don't think the JW Speakers are worth it, but they look cool. High performance halogen housings like I mentioned before with a premium bulb will do just as good for much less and be easy to service if a bulb goes bad. If you have problems with a JW Speaker lamp you are kind of up a creek. Not saying you would of course.

    This guy sells the 7" Cibies for a reasonable price.

    So, I emailed him and after he figured out what I was trying to achieve, he actually recommended the JW's.
