headlights with stock fog lights

 

The opt 7 led fog lights are really really bright. As you can see some light leaks out upwards more but still provides a good light. The light that is leaked upwards comes to a point in the center and does not flare out where on coming traffic would be. Even though they are 5k they are bluer then the Sierra led running light not by a lot but still are. they still look great. From what i have read about the vled xb bulb i think that the opt 7 are the way to go .

My OPT7 lights are still working flawlessly and I'm in AZ with 105-110 degree weather, hopefully they stay working great.

 

The only problem I had with the install was that the polarity adaptors plugs were backwards for our trucks, meaning the negative and positive were flipped so the positive wire from the stock harness went into a negative lead on the adaptor and back out to a positive lead on the led harness. All I had to do was cut off the little tabs that lock the clips together to make sure red is to red and it works perfect.

This shows what I mean, you actually need to make sure that they are the other way around and red matches up to red.

Driving back from Yellowstone last Tuesday night noticed that my Opt low beams remain ON when the high beams are turned on.

 

No complaints really because its additional light but it does look weird. This wouldnt cause issues with the amount of power being exerted though would it?

On silverado, when the high beams are activated, the pure beams always remain on... I plan on getting done for the high beams sometime

May have been answers but to adjust the low beams down do u turn the scre clockwise or counter clockwise?

Clockwise lowers them IIRC. Just watch the beam move as you adjust. It took 5+ full turns to move mine back down close to where stock cutoff was before the switch.

Alright thanks I'll try that and see if people stop flashing there high beams at me. Is your truck lifted or stock height?

Had to send my OPT7 LED's back. The light output was weak in my sierra. The color and close range light was great but the throw was horrible. As far as you guys having issues with them coming on. Its the stock plug, its not deep enough for the OPT7 plug. You can either shave the opt 7 plug a bit or like I did, buy new plugs that plug from the factory harness to the OPT 7 harness. I had some left over plugs from the few retrofit's I've done and both worked like a charm but for the life of me I could not get the OEM plug to work.

That is correct.

 

I didn't realize you were looking for a review using Projectors.

so the leds are really good in the NON-PROJECTORS? this worries me bc I have NON-PROJECTORS and have heard HIDs are terrible in them.

I also returned my OPT7 headlights. The color was great but the light output wasn't considerably better than stock. Got a morimoto HID kit from TRS but have yet to install it.

Yes, I love mine. I think they produce great light and throw a strong beam.

I am also running the OPT7 led's, haven't had an issue with heat at all and I'm in AZ with it reaching 115 degrees lately.

 

I also recently adjusted my lights some this weekend, I did 4 turns on each light. It really helped and they almost seem brighter now since they are not pointing in the air, I'll probably do another couple of turns.

 

Here is a pic, crappy pic, of my low beam headlights and fog lights on.

Same experience in my LT reflector headlight, before they failed. The light output was poor, just like a PNP HID...really bright foreground, glare, and poor throw. Started work on my FX-R retrofit last night.

 

A lot of the Amazon reviews seem questionable.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Sunroof Drain Hole Entry & Exit Location (w/ Pictures)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
