This is always recommended after installation. Note: Wranglers only have a vertical adjustment screw.
Please refer to your authorized dealer if you need help with this issue.
Condensation is a naturally occurring phenomenon and will happen in any light given the proper conditions. It shouldn’t last more than a couple of hours. Double check your lights after that, and if you find water inside the housing after a couple hours you’ll want to contact the authorized retailer where you purchased it.
No. LHT means “Left-hand Traffic” and RHT means “Right-hand Traffic,” referring to which side of the road a driver uses. For instance, a driver in the UK is Left-hand Traffic and would use two LHT lights; a driver in Canada is Right- hand Traffic would use two RHT lights.
These are driving regulations based on your location. Most countries around the world have adopted one set of standards or the other. For headlights to be street legal, they must meet and be marked with the regulations adopted by that country.
DOT regulations are created by the United States Department of Transportation, for use in the U.S. and Canada. Meeting DOT lighting standards guarantees your lights are federally compliant in the United States for visibility, durability, and reliability to secure the safety of others.
ECE regulations come from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. ECE versions feature DRL & FP functions. ECE-compliant guarantees your lights are compliant in the European Union and in non-European countries that have adopted ECE Regulations for visibility, durability, and reliability.
J.W. Speaker's Adaptive Series headlights, such as Models 8790 Adaptive, 8690 Adaptive, and 8691 Adaptive require forward motion to remain on and operate properly. A “lean test” in the garage is not a sufficient test. Optics may not respond to the static lean and require forward motion to test correctly.
If the light does not operate properly when driving, double check that it is indeed an Adaptive Version. J.W. Speaker makes both adaptive versions and non-adaptive versions, so you may have purchased a non-adaptive version.
J.W. Speaker's current motorcycle line-up consists of standard 5 ¾” and 7" round headlights. These lamps are designed to be as plug and play as possible and is so with the vast majority of V-twin bikes. Unique to LED head-lamps are extended heat sinks on the back of the lamps.
On certain models of bikes including those that have the standard 5 ¾” and 7" headlights, generally of the metric variety, depth of the standard buckets may not fit an LED. J.W. Speaker is proud to supply a growing variety of fitment solutions for all bikes to make installations as plug and play as possible.
J.W. Speaker's Model 8700 Evolution J Series headlights and Model 279 J Series tail lights are designed to provide a true plug & play installation on JK Jeeps. Due to the unique and varied connectors used by Chrysler on the fog lights, there will likely be some wiring modifications required for fog light installation.
The Evolution J headlights were designed to be compatible with Chrysler’s wiring systems. In European and other ECE countries, the half-halo can operate as a DRL. In North America, it cannot. If your North American vehicle has Daytime Running Lights, they operate through the High Beam Circuit. The half-halo will operate whenever the headlights are on, but there is no way to separately power the half-halo optics in this case.
The tail lights have been designed to replace stock tail lights, so aftermarket accessories should fit. In some cases, a slightly longer screw (”3/8-16 x 2-1/4” or longer) might be required.
If you experience hyper-flashing, there may be several things going on:
1) You’ve installed aftermarket parts that affect the turn signal circuit.
This will happen when you have additional LED upgrades relying on the resistance of the bulb to function properly. This is commonly found with LED Front turn signals that don’t have a large enough resistor. While your J.W. Speaker LED tail lights are supplied with an external resistor it needs to work properly, it is only designed to work for the tail lights. You will need a resistor large enough to cover any front LED turn signal upgrades.
2) You have an overly “sensitive” Jeep.
While this condition is rare, it can still happen to some Jeeps. J.W. Speaker first recommends going back to stock to see if there is hyper-flashing. If your stock lights work, but you continue to have an issue with your LED lights exhibiting hyper-flashing, the brand recommends working with your authorized dealer to troubleshoot the problem. As such, it may be necessary to reinstall your stock tail light if this condition cannot be resolved.
J.W. Speaker tail lights are designed with a external resistor that provides adequate resistance simulating a bulb-based system. However, there is variation in vehicle systems, depending on the year and model that affects resistor requirements. Some Jeep JKs (primarily 2007 and early 2008 models) are known to be overly sensitive to the resistance required. To this end, J.W. Speaker has sought to accommodate this sensitivity, providing adjustments needed to resolve hyper-flashing issues for Jeep JKs.
