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

Wow. I do have projectors but still disheartening

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
