I do like the pure white. I gave LEDs in my fogs from DD which are a 5000k light. Those are pure white as well

As already identified mine are reflectors. I have said before I was worried bc I didn't have projectors but I think they turned out great. I will spend the money at some point for projectors but in the meantime can't beat how much better these work than my stock bulbs

I took mine out. The beam pattern being pointed inwards was killing and just didn't light up the road like I wanted it to. Brightness wise they were bright but as of late I wasn't as happy with them the sides of the road were barely lit and also didn't throw far enough down the road. Definitely think a projector would help but the reflector didn't throw like I wanted it to now that look back

 

Below is a video I took one early morning on the way to work. Brights (halogen) were on majority of the ride but there's some times that it's just the OPT7 lights. (0:48 - 1:30). The dash cam does make them appear bright and white but they aren't that blindly white as they appear down on the road.

I swapped to Silverstar Ultras for the time being. Feel they work a lot better with the relector. Im still looking for a more pure white light though.

 

Below are screenshots from the same dash cam in the video on a dark side street in town.

Alright guys., I successfully installed the OPT7 Leds headlights. I ordered exactly what jnach posted on his post. I'm a little disappointed to the intensity of the light put out. My HIDs were definitely brighter but I really like the plug and play, lights are clean and they just look natural. I'm going to keep this leds until they go out. The problem I ran into were the dust caps I could get back to place. It was getting darker out there and didn't want to force them so I my have to diy the heck out them to make them fit properly. I'll post some pics for y'all. I'll get some while running later.5b5024b03e9961a221c5e051cda03948.jpg0d9ac4519f1afca6476d1dae44fd0677.jpg63689ecb8412c034a4fa31418a3ebbd3.jpg

This is the reason I put my hids back in. LED's were nice and the color was good but even the "5k lumen per bulb" morimoto kit I bought was shit output compared to my hids.

They work well for me. As I stated for everyone in the review, I didn't buy these for their blinding light output. I just wanted an easy to install LED the looked better than stock. Idk why anyone is surprised Halogens are brighter, that's the point of them lol.

My wife got a new car and it has leds....very nice. I'm just wanting more light and I figured I would start here. My light output seems very low stock

Yikes. What happened ?

I couldnt get them adjusted properly, the driver side was beaming towards the center of the lane, almost to the passenger side of the road. Sonce we cant adjust headlights left n right i tried flipping the bulb in the housing by trimming down the fat tab. I could only get a 3/4 of the way on the 180 flip.

 

I posted a video above, the brights are on most of that drive but theres periods in there where its just the Opt7s. I had little to no visibility of the side of the ditch/shoulder area on driver side, and thats huge being up in here in deer country.

 

I think it may have been a lil better if i could have got that corrected but the output down the road wasnt that great. I actually posted in here when i first got them and shortly after saying i was happy but i have since moved to a more rural area and the output wasnt what i thought it was.

 

If you have projectors it appears theyre having better output on those than reflectors

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
