If so which ones? How was the installation? What do you like and not like about them? Do you notice a big difference in brightness and current draw?

Not a direct answer, but the lights on my stock 2016 are freakin' wonderful!

I know Michael H, Midgie Man, Timothy, i think JVS and probably a good few others are running the JW Speaker headlights. As far as 7" rounds those are I'd say the best LED Headlights out there. I put a set in my girlfriend's MGB. They are phenomenal. Blake did a writeup of them as well but the images are all busted now http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/146702/LED_Headlight_Install_Upgrade#Post146702If you're going for a stockish look the Chrome surround ones are passable. I know someone on here has the black ones for better reference, but it was what Morgan put in the Electric version of the 3 wheeler. At $250ish a pop though they are costly.

As has been posted, I put the J.W. Speaker units in. It's a straight drop in and you only have to tape off the small running lamp wire as there is no running lamp. Mine have the chrome surrounds.
These use far less amps and never dim due to amperage drop from the engine idling. They are ON or OFF. The beam for normal driving in traffic is terrific and almost a perfect low rectangle. The high beams are incredibly bright and have allowed me to avoid hitting a black bear in the dead of night.
They are pricey but will last the life of the car. I hit a deer a couple years ago and it cleaned off the right bucket with LED installed. I managed to stop down the road and the bucket caught up with me. The metal was mangled but the LED had been pushed in and when I came home I pulled it out of the mess of metal and hit it with power. It lit! I few abrasions which I rubbed out and you can't tell it from the other unhit bucket.
No higher praise here. Really good lamps
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Skullmog, thank you very much for the video. Looks absolutely awesome.
I tried to locate the lights on the internet but was unsuccessful. Do you mind sharing any product name / article number you may have?

NEVER give yourself the license to change my words, though feel free to criticize all you want. You obviously don't know my habits with cars and motorcycles as I have spent more years customizing than you have spent breathing. With the M3W, I happen to find no need to modify the power, suspension or Headlights. The difference on this topic is that I actually own an M3W, and my opinion is based on my experience. Other OWNERS, of course, have a right to their opinion on that matter. One day, you might have an experience based opinion on that subject as well.
