Ok all so here are the low beam led bulbs i got today. Pretty impressive so far. Came with allen wrenches to rotate the led to adjust the way the led faces. Now to get them installed and see how bright they are. Which housings should i put them in? the one on the bottom has only the reflector and you see the whole bulb, or the one on the top with the part that covers part bulb and reflects it back? They are both the right lamp in this picture.

Here they are installed. Seem much better than pervious led bulbs ive owned and half the cost. And they are adjustable, so can rotate the way the led faces once you install them. Ive got mine facing side to side. Will post night time pictures later.

Much brighter than the silverstar bulbs. Had the left bulb not seated right in this pic but fixed it. When i turn on the high beams they almost seem like low beams. Drove around on some roads and never got flashed. Stood at the end of a street and had the wife drive towards me while i walked and they did not have much glare at all. No more than factory led or hid systems. Ima try theses out for a while and might get the led high beams and 4hi mod if i like them. Ill add a few more pics after a week or so with them.

How is the output since you have been using them ? Which headlights did you use? The ones that have the low beam shield or without?

Thanks

So far so good! Im using the housings with the glare piece in them. No flashes from oncoming traffic and when i turn the brights on its almost like i turn the lights off compared to the light output of the leds. Might buy leds for the high beams and see how it looks but right now planning on silver star or piaa halogens for high beam. Thinking about rotating the led to see if it changes the beam pattern. These leds Have a set screw that allows you to rotate the bulb so the led faces a different way.

Thanks for the reply looks like I'll be doing this setup as I was going to chop up a set of headlights to try to retrofit some projectors in it but from you results you seem satisfied
