Meh, no thanks. Why use a 7" light that was purpose built for another vehicle? The gladiator take 9" lights.

It wasn't purpose built for another vehicle. Lol. It was made for the JL and Gladiator. Led headlights don't use the 9" housing for anything. The LED and projector's are small. The only time a 9" housing matters is if it's a halogen and utilizes the 9" reflector. The housing is black and you couldn't tell the difference in a 7" or 9" if you're looking at it. To each their own. But the Morimoto lights have the tightest beam pattern of any LED out there. But that may not matter to you. The Gladiator was purposely built for 17" wheels and OEM lift, but that doesn't change any of us from modifying that.

But if you put a 7" headlight in a 9" hole, you'll need a spacer to make it work.
There are lots of 9" headlights available for the JT & JL, so why mess with a spacer?

Well I agree, I would rather it be a 9" light. But the accuracy of the cutoff line and quality of the bulbs is what sold me on it. I would rather deal with a spacer than deal with getting flashed by oncoming vehicles everyday. I was just showing this as an option to those cheap lights that are out there that are causing people to flash everyone because the light isn't focused. Which could soon end up getting aftermarket lights getting banned for road use. I also like the feature of having the turn signal built in as well.

Check these out - https://www.oraclelights.com/collec...products/oculus-bi-led?variant=32544857161825

Here's what the cut-off looks like - Much sharper than most if not all - Some may say it's too sharp :CWL:

Those cutoffs look nice but they give me a headache. It might be just me.

Here are mine installed now. Don't mind the grille if you hate these kind. ?
You cannot tell at all that they're 7" in a 9" space. It comes with the entire pod already put together.

With that grille, no one will even notice the headlights, let alone the fact that they're 7" fixtures in a 9" opening!

My issue with all of TRS (Morimoto, headlgiht revo, gtr lighting, and many more) is they all make out to be independent of each other, but are all owned by the same individual. Any review from Headlight revo on their own product is inherently biased.


Edit to add:
Went back to my original post on it: Morimoto, The Retrofit Source, Headlight Revolution, GTR lighting, Xenon Depot, and LED Concepts all owned by Driven Lighting Group, formerly The Retrofit Source.
