Ive had these running without issues a few days after the purchase date. No clearance issue, plenty of light output on the unlit roads here in the sticks. And at that price its a good way to find out if led headlights are for you or not. Just my 2 cents.

Report back after a few months. You would be static if I could show you how much light you’re giving up from the halogens with that setup.

Few months? Its been over a year. These have great light output vs halogens, the only downside to these cheaper ones ive found was the distance(throw) of the light but its not an extreme amount of difference just noticeably.

Plus i said its a good way to see if you like them or not. I did the whole retro fit hid projector thing and spent $$$ to find out i dont like them. So at $47 to see if i liked leds its been more then worth it. In no way i was downplaying or saying your lights are no good. Shit if you say yours are much better leds i may get some in the future since i do like the led headlight option.

It would be awesome if you would give them a try and post some comps. What happened with the retrofit?

Just didnt like how it lit up the roads where live. To much of a projector dark line above the actual light. Not sure how to explain it haha.

When i get the extra money and the will to want to take the headlights out(pita) again ill give them a try. (Probably not real soon though).

you

You were on the right track with the projectors. If you were to combine it with serious led fog lights like the ones we have then that would be good to go. The fogs would give you the glare you need and the projectors the output and spread. In that combo is where the money is at. I see other “experts” selling led fog lights with cutoff like the projector headlights.

We are already at led projectors on the retrofits and it’s getting really heated up. Just received this new projector that’s like what I have been praying for the last 5 or 7 months. It beats the m led in lux at hotspot and costs $200 less my price. You would save $240 instead. And it’s not even comparable. These are 2.5”, not 3” and it’s smaller than a mini h1 7.0, with longer TILTED shaft. Nothing the market has ever seen before.
Check it out! Lmk what you think
