possible alternative to OPT7 LED's?

Silvern Sentry · July 13, 2016

Thanks, I just bought the Anzo's from a dealer on eBay who sells returned items. Total with shipping was $425. Not bad for $600 headlights. I currently have Xenon Depot LEDs in my stock headlights but I am not blown away by the light output (2500lm per bulb) so i am looking to step up to either Opt 7 or these 2stroke

2500 should be fine that is what I run and it is plenty bright. But I am also not surprised it may be lackluster in OEM projector (its crap).

I would test the new housing before buying new lights, might be all you need. I do recommend you attempt to get a new lens for LED if that does not help. I do not know all the optical science behind it, was just recommended to me and I think it paid off, so passing that along. Standard troubleshooting of anything says that you should only change one thing at a time and note the difference. Let us know how it goes and good luck!

Well the one drawback from the lights were they supposedly are not coming with bulbs, so i plan on ordering some LEDs. The XenonDepot LEDs are $120, while the 2stroke are the same price and are double the lumens. Or the Opt7 are 3500 lumens and only $70.

If you have not paid yet. Try giving ProTuningLab a call I know they do HID installs of these lights, if you asked and were paying for the parts the may very well be interested in doing LED instead. I am not affiliated with them in any way I just know there is actual people that work there and not just robots =D. Could not hurt.

http://www.protuninglab.com/20152016.html I do not see any Anzo on this page for 14-16 GMs but Anzo just came out with theirs a month or 2 ago and I know they carry their products. Is even a online code you can use for like 5%. (Spyder only came out like February) so it is probably just a issue with site getting caught up.

I have checked these guys out before. I have had HIDs in the past, and I really dont trust them. I had so many problems with them.

The LED lights on there website dont look that extreme where they stand out from anything else I have seen online.

Basically the conclusion I have come to is HIDs will throw the light out further. LEDs can be as bright as HIDs within a reasonable distance. Beyond 75-90ft the LEDs arent as bright.

I think I might wait to see how these 2stroke lights turn out and then get those, or just settle for the Opt7 lights because of there price and lumen output. They are pretty much the only LED bulb I can find with substantial reviews that costs less than anything else I have seen. And they come with a 2 year warranty.

So these are in but BIG problem

They look great and seems good enough

But

As soon as I turn the truck on and into drive

They immediately go off

As soon as the truck is off and then locked again, they come back on.

Wtf is going on here

I had same problem installing the LED headlights from 2016 silverado on my 2015. I bought some HID error canceller like this ones

Found out that the DRL send a pulsating current that turns the LEDs off. Now they work as good as factory.

Any update on these?

Well?

Any update? I just ordered the 2Strokes as one of my Xenon Depot bulbs failed after 9 months of average performance. I didn't use the capacitor for the Xenon Depot, I didn't need one. I heard that I will need one with the 2STROKE. I have the Xenon Depot in the passenger side and I will post a comparison once I get the 2STROKE in the drivers side. (The drivers side Xenon Depot H11 failed after 9 months of use).
