You have incorrect numbers sir.

I was looking at the raw lumens as the ebay one did not state effective lumens. I hope it is just as bright as that is a great price with a nice halo.

MY understanding is that are made for Jeeps. My friend put on on his SG and the seller provided a new bracket because the stock one was not deep enough....Looks really good, but my Daymakers are far superior in brightness and quality. Cant complain over the price.

Just make sure you deal with a company that will give you a warranty. I own a Jeep company and we bought $10,000+ worth of lights from a supplier that promised a 1 year warranty. We had a few issues and the manufacturer wouldn't return any emails. Try to find a company that sells other products besides the headlights and will be around in a few months if you wind up having issues.

We now deal with a US company that stands by their lights 100%.

The lights themselves are crazy bright and you will be amazed the difference from stock.

Badass is right, excliant idea! What is the adaptor your waiting on, it did not come with the light?

Are you referring to the JW Speaker/Day Maker, or the Knock offs on e-bay.?

Tnx!
