I have the OPs LED's

in my '96 K1500 and that braided copper heat sink makes it easy to sneak around the crooks and crannies behind my headlighs along with some GLASS LENSED headlight shells I purchased from an EBay seller. The orientation was correct and what a dramatic improvement over the stock halogens and with the local shops wanting $90 + to polish plastic lenses the $85 cost of those glass lens headlights were a no brainer. While these fit easily in the '96 K1500 I drive, the only detractor is they're only rated up to 3000 lumens which isn't super bright and I may take this further as time and funds allow.

Installed the XD xtreme pro LED headlight kit in my 2014 Sierra all terrain and to be honest not impressed at all.  With the reviews I read on here I wast expecting them to be great but they’re significantly less effective than the stock halogen bulbs.  Everything fits inside the dust cap and easy enough to install / plug & play but the light coverage and cutoff is just garbage.  You end up with brightly illuminated ditch on both sides with a dark region in the Center of the road and not nearly the light coverage you need down road, the high beam is a bit better focused down road but does not ‘cut’ the way the halogens do.  I’ll be removing these to return them, if XD isn’t willing to take the return then they will be for sale on here ASAP. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested, I have all of about 15 mins of night driving on them.  Hopefully returns is not an issue. 

 

Disappointed to say the least, going to pick up some good halogens and forget about this waste of time.

This may have already been covered somewhere but I could not find what I was looking for.

 

I'm looking at installing the following LED headlights.

Is there anyone who is running this set up to replace the stock 9012 bulbs? If so how are they so far, did you require any trimming? And we're you able to keep the stock dusk cap for the light housing?

I have a pair in my garage, Tried them and did not like them, worse than OEM
