Headlight Revolution tested all the top brands of 7″ Round Headlights to find the very best of the best for the Jeep Wrangler JK.

There are many factors that go into determining whether a 7″ Round Headlight performs well or not, the most important being beam pattern and brightness. In order for a headlight’s performance to be great, it must have a good combination of beam pattern and brightness.

 

If a headlight has incredible brightness but has a terrible beam pattern, several issues will arise. First, all other drivers on the road would experience excruciating blindness since light is being thrown all over. Second, it actually appears dimmer for the driver, light is being dispersed everywhere but down the road.

In Headlight Revolution’s video, all the tested headlights are shown with beam patterns and brightness. Listen to what they have to say about each one, and see what one is best for you!
