I've seen these "cheap-ish" LED 7" headlights on amazon for a while now... I though i'd give them a shot... First off let me say they are WELL BUILT... very heavy duty and they have a good feel to them... great light output and don't look too bad if you ask me... i am very impressed so far!

Is that a 120 volt plug at the end of the wires?

I sure hope not! It looks to just be a normal 3 way plug in to me but hard to say.:chevy:

Those look a lot like the Rigid Ind. that I paid over 5 times as much for. I really like mine, but I will say, if you drive in snow or freezing wet conditions, you won't like them. The Rigid Industries model that I have are equipped with heated lens to keep snow and ice from blocking light output. Those appear to be similar in design and the light output is by far the best you can get with just two lights ! Hope these treat you well

It does look like it, but I think it plugs into the factory headlight connector.

I've done some shearching around and what I came up with is that you have to get lights for a harly Davidson. 5 3/4. Not shure how the hi low would work since. the low on the stock is dule element and single for hi. Not shure when you turn the hI beam on would the hi beam light ( single element) ( wich would now be dule ) be in the hi or low beam setting.

I had to look it up. Yes, it is the factory 3 prong connector. You can see it in some of the other pictures.

For those wondering the same lights from the same vendor are available in 5 3/4” for us GMC guys. A 4 pack cost me $160. I will have mine today and will see about install this weekend. They are an H4 plug.

I am also interested in how they look at night. And how the cut off at the top looks.

Link below to a review I did on 5 3/4 LED"s with pics way back in 2018. May be helpful for the quad headlight/GMC folks. The only thing I will add is though the headlight relay harness is a great idea, it's not required if you are going to an all LED headlight setup.

Very interesting. I see Holley has come up with their own line of these, which includes 3 different color themes depending if you like yellow, original, or a more modern white.

They want $200 per light.

TECHNICALLY... to be DOT compliant and pass FMVSS title 49, part 571 (section 108) they also need to have SAE standards testing completed and be stamped with the SAE testing section. These do not have that.

Basically China made is stamping DOT on them. So are they "DOT" approved, no. As technically the DOT does not test ANY lighting coming into the US unless there is an issue brought forward after the fact that causes it. The DOT posts the requirements the manufacturers have to abide by and SAE keeps them in compliance.
