Default So I contacted JW Speaker about distributors [funny response]

Used the link on the JW Speaker website to try to locate a retailer or distributor for their Model 8700 headlight. Just received a response back from them. Dunno if I was more amused or pissed.

You can purchase these from your nearest HD dealer or online at
www.harley-davidson.com. They now have both the black inner bezel and
chrome inner bezel.

Thanks,

So the only option they are offering me is the one I was trying to avoid by contacting them in the first place. Wow!!!!

Actually no. These headlights were around before Harley sourced them. They are used as replacements for any 7" round headlights. Jeeps, Land Rovers, Humvees, big rigs, etc.
