About the 8700 EVO-X: J.W. Speaker's Newest 7" Headlight
5-in-1 Functions, Dual Burn Optics, and SmartHeat in a 7" PAR56 Format
The 8700 EVO-X is J.W. Speaker's latest 7-inch round LED headlight, built for premium on-road performance across a wide range of vehicles — from Jeeps and trucks to classic cars and commercial applications.
What Makes It Different
Five Functions. One Headlight.
The EVO-X packs five forward lighting functions into a single unit — no additional lights needed:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| High Beam | Powerful long-distance punch |
| Low Beam | Precise road coverage |
| Front Position | Always-on marker light |
| DRL | Daytime Running Light |
| Turn Signal | Built-in integrated signal |
Dual Burn® Optics
When you switch to high beam, the low beam stays on. This gives you both wide road coverage and long-distance visibility at the same time — not one or the other.
Distinctive X Optic Signature
The EVO-X features a bold "X" shaped light pattern that gives it an instantly recognizable, modern appearance — day and night.
SmartHeat® Heated Lens (optional)
Available with J.W. Speaker's SmartHeat® technology — an automatic heated lens that de-ices itself based on temperature, with no input from the driver. Ideal for cold-weather and winter driving applications.
Sealed for the Toughest Conditions
The new integrated connector is rated IP67 and IP69K — meaning it is fully protected against dust and can withstand high-pressure water jets. Built to handle whatever the road throws at it.
Installation
The 8700 EVO-X is a direct drop-in replacement for any standard 7-inch round (PAR56) headlight. Plug-and-play installation means no wiring modifications in most applications.
⚠️ Always aim your headlights after installation for a safe and legal beam pattern.
