LEDSs headlights package

[BrianT]

I have a question, I installed LED's today. Which way did you guys have your diodes going? My lights installed and the LED diodes are pointing to each side. Is that correct or should they be pointing up and down? Or does that matter...

 

[AngelXL]

Wow you got me on that Brian.
Diodes?

 

[BrianT]

Maybe diodes isn't the correct term..... the LEDS on each side, are they pointed up and down or side to side when installed? Mine are side to side and I went for a little night drive and the light spread is way better than the halogen bulbs. I just wonder what the difference if any would be if the LEDS were facing up and down when in the projector lens.

 

[AngelXL]

I didn't notice those arrows on mines. Will have to check but the lighting in the pictures show is a nice spread.

OPT7 kits look nice...and $99 on amazon make it seem like a good chance.

Diodes, I was referring to Light Emitting Diodes - LED.

I don't have arrows on my lights, when they lock in the LEDs are pointing out to each side of the housing. When you look straight on you can see a slight void in the light pattern, almost a cat eye effect. I guess the only question I have is how has everyone set theirs in... the LEDS pointing to the outside/inside of the housing or turning the light and locking it in with the LEDS pointing up and down.

 

[AngelXL]

That's what I mean. There is only one way to lock in the bulb. Sorry I didn't pay attention how the bulb seat. The spread is good. You can see on one the pages and I even compared to my GX 2016 HID. Side to side

Hello everyone. I just ordered the new Saber LED Pro H11 headlights from DDMTuning.com They are 4000Lummins per bulb. I ordered the LED decoders just in case per their recommendation. They are a great price and DDM has always stood by their product. I've installed 3 sets of their HID kits with no issues. I also ordered their PSX26W LED fog light bulbs. It will be a couple of weeks before I get them installed, but I will let you know how it goes and I'll post pics of the install. Here are the links:

Please do share once you get them installed. I would prefer the LED route vs HID setup, but I attempted the LEDs and didn't care for the lack of focus and depth provided. AngelXL's pics he shared comparing the yukon to his GX clearly show the difference as the center intense part of the beam is lacking quite a bit compared to the Lexus. This is where the current LEDs fail, IMO. They look great and appear bright but the depth(range) is lacking.

Hi Friends...I also just installed Opt7 LED headlights to 2016 tahoe LT, They seem bright but lack the focus and depth. It was dark so only the low beam headlights would light up... I wanted to see how they would react to the stupid DRL voltage. I will see in daytime if DRL would work.
I think DRL's wont work with these led's , because when i unlock the vehicle usually the headlights would come on but after installing led's they did not come on when unlocked. I wonder how long these will last.

 

[shaky]

No the DRL dont work. Bulbs dont light up as drl. and work fine as low beam headlight. I wonder if i will have electrical problem because of this this drl not working with these led's. maybe it will shorten the bulb's life?

 

[BrianT]

My DRL's work just fine with the LED's

 

[shaky]

Hi BrianT, Can you please post the Link for the Led's you installed in your tahoe? Thanks.

So what's the general consensus on led lows? Which ones do you guys prefer? Will be going on a '17 tahoe.

My fogs will be these.

I like the quality, customer service and price, all in that order of www.ddmtuning.com out of San Diego CA. Can't go wrong with their price and warranty, which I've never had to use. My opinion you will not find a better quality product for the price!

 

[Vinvin7716]

Yeah I do hear their name being brought up a lot in the other forums I'm on. Do they offer plug and play versions? Not looking for hid/drilling if possible.

 

[AngelXL]

All I could tell you. The ones that I got weren't expensive and very good lighting. I'm no picky so... from stock to what I have is great. Bought them last October and still going strong. No issues with swap or codes.

Yes they are plug n play. I bought the LED decoder just in case... I also added their LED fog light bulbs
