    I tried the LED bulbs in my GQ 7" headlights, and found them an improvement on the halogens and even the HID's. I have now gone 7" LED headlight inserts, so LED everything and happy with the result.

    I'm curious if the JW Speaker is ADR approved.

    I run these LED inserts and they are ADR approved in all states.

    They are good lights, but nothing spectacular - more an improvement on what i have used in the past.
    The speaker lights should be ADR approved as a lot of truckers use them and they are offered as upgrades. Just need to ensure they are configured for our side of the road.

    Kinda interested in these but checking their website it seems there's nothing available for Y61s. Just circular or rectangular headlights unfortunately for me but makes economic sense for them of course.

    Yes, correct. Are the headlights H4 globes? If so you could try the globes alone?

    Do you mean the H4 halogen lamps on their website? The Y61's lamps are H4 and I'm currently running the Phillips H4's but looking for something a step up, but still ADR. Doesn't help that I now have no spotties or light bar, but I very rarely night drive this thing so I haven't forked out.
