Headlight out

[B-McD]

I have had these installed since February of this year. Plug and play and fit behind the dust caps. Nice stock beam pattern but much brighter than stock. Especially in rainy/wet conditions. Perfect color match to the fogs. My neighbor has them in his three cars, Honda, Chevy, and Ford. No issues and he's had them about 4 months longer than mine. Amazon description:

Chinese..

Yep. Knew that going in. Better to spend $37 on an experiment with a 2 year warranty than $150. We'll see how they hold up.

Got any pics of the output and cutoffs?

Didn't take pics of the cutoffs on the garage door but it's spot on with the stock ones. The projector lens helps a lot. My son-in-law has a F150 with the standard reflector housing and the LEDs just look whiter and brighter but I don't think they push the beam down the road nearly as well.

I went back to halogens for the same reason. Was changing out halogens every year, went HID and ended up cooking the ignitor on the driver's side after only a year. For the cost of one HID bulb and ignitor I can get several sets of halogen bulbs.

I am interested in LED bulbs but need more info. Most LED bulbs don't throw light as far as halogen or hid. If that isn't an issue I would look to change over...

Grover - See my post above - the light pattern with the LEDs is much better with the projector style lens than the larger reflector.

Nope, Ive had diode Dynamics SL1 LED hi and low beams for almost a year now and have had zero issues with them

This!!! Had them almost 2 years no issues...300 for a set of good LEDs is a great deal...price some jw speakers or similar quality LEDs not Chinese junk. For the price, quality, and simple installation the DD LEDs are the way to go. FWIW I went brighter than OEM as live in area heavily populated with Kamikaze Deer and very few to no street lights.
