The mirror in my SLR has decided not to work so no useful comparison pictures with locked ISO/Exposure...
I did install them...
Ease of install: 8/10 (big hands + small space for the top bolts)
Design 9/10: (tried and true design! mimicks the JW speaker design that morimoto mimicks)
Build quality: 5/10 (The inside of the lens is all scratched up, and theres a slight haze to the back of the lens. I can see someones fingerprint... and the driverside one is rotated in the housing by about a degree.)
Aesthetic Looks: 8/10 (they should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch bigger, and offered in chrome)
Using these as fog lights, the color temp is just a tad bluer to my eyes.... with the fogs only on, there is a bluer tint to the ground. When i turn the headlights on as well its just pure friggen white of awesomeness. The spread width of these is AWESOME... as it should be. They seem to go just a bit wider than my headlights which already have a wide beam!

i noticed my drivers side was slightly off center too, didn't have any of the other problems though.
Ive never seen these JW Speaker fogs before, these are literally identical, weird.

JW Speaker is the original manufacturer for Harley. A bit of info: Harley saw an opportunity and grabbed them up and licensed them, for the passing lights and such because they are trying to reduce power usage because of all the failed stators that they were replacing under warranty on newer bikes.
They also make what are known as Harley's "Daymaker" LED headlights, and some other things.
Morimoto copied the design, with some small enough changes to get past legal issues and have sold them at a fraction of the cost, driving HD's price down, but by very little because hey it still has the HD logo and that's a 1000% tax!
Now we have the 3rd and 4th parties copying the design. If you compared the JW Speaker/Harley to the Morimoto's you'd see the casing/heatsink difference but a great build quality... 9/10 to 10/10 in most cases.
Compare these to even the worst made Mori, and the mori still beats it.
I'll keep them on my truck because only people that know would spot the issues. My only concern is the front sealant, and driver/ diode chip they used and the longevity of them.
Look on ebay, search "jeep 4 inch cree fog". They are literally everywhere. I cut the tabs off the buckets, used (4) 1/2" screws to mount the lights bucket to my fog buckets, drilled a 1/2" hole in my trucks buckets (for adjustment screw). They have been going strong with 10 months of daily use!
Do anyone else's wiggle a small amount once installed?
Also, how are you guys adjusting the driver side fog light once the bucket is reinstalled? That screw is so close to the bumper I'm finding it difficult to get a screwdriver in there.
Got mine installed! I love the look of them. Just a little to blue for me... but not bad at all. I might just be dumb or something but the driver's side adjustment screw was a complete PITA to get in and out... Passenger's side was a breeze.
