JW Speaker 8700 EVO 2 - Mounting bracket needed? Modify stock bracket?
« on: October 16, 2016, 09:31:24 PM »
Just ordered a JW Speaker 8700 Evo 2. JW's web site says a new mounting ring is required because the stock bucket is too shallow. Can the stock bucket be modified? It's $75 for the new bucket...

By the way, I paid $255 shipped for the headlight, best I could find.

Attached is a picture of my stock broken light for the fun of it.

you shouldn't need a new bucket ... you have a open bracket for the headlight you have now ... its not the closed bucket they mention ...

Sweet, I hope you're right! I figured I would wait until I got the light and try and make it work one way or another.

Ok, seeing as there is a lot of people on this thread that know about passing lamps, do I need to order the brackets with the switch, or can I use the factory installed accessory rocker switch? I assume that is the difference in these 2 kits.

In the pictures on the web one of these kits shows an additional switch. why can't I just use the Accessory rocker switch in the dash?

In case anybody reads this in the future, the headlight did in fact fit with no wiring or mounting modification.... Plug and play baby!! Thanks to everybody for the help. Driving lights next.
