What People are Saying

“After seeing the difference that J.W. Speaker lights could offer, I decided to bring them in and sell them. As soon as we sold the first set, the word spread that these lights were amazing! It’s so nice to sell a quality product that is made in the USA and see the reaction of customers when they come back in raving about them.”
— Jim Oostdyk, Owner or OK Auto, 4WD & Tire
“Just installed the 8700 Evolution J (black) headlights on my JKUR. I hit a black Angus cow about 6 months ago because I didn’t see it until too late due to the dim stock headlights. The 8700 J headlights are incredible and I can see 10 times farther down the road now…The added distance visibility has made the trips a lot safer and relieved a huge amount of stress during my commutes. Thanks for including the anti-flicker circuitry into an extremely high-quality headlight product just for Jeep owners. The engineering and quality are evident as soon as you take the headlights out of the box. Fantastic product.”
— Rodney L., Jeep Customer
“J.W. Speaker’s excellent LED headlamps and auxiliary lamps are a joy to drive within good and bad weather alike, and they keep getting better and better with each revision. They’re well designed and thoughtfully engineered with well-formed and -focused photometric, and the build and materials quality are A1.”
— Daniel Stern, General Editor for DrivingVisionNews.com
“I’ve had my new adaptive headlight installed on my 2014 HD Breakout for about a month now. This technology is truly amazing to ride with…I can’t say enough how great this headlight is. How far it throws light down the street, and how natural and intuitive the adaptive lighting looks and feels. Just a great product all around. Keep up the good work gents – you’ve earned my business for life.”
— Michael G., Motorcycle Customer
