I don't know how the LEDs do, but I'm interested to see the results.


thanks for your continuous feedback and information,


if anything I would have messed the alignment while unclipping and reclipping h4 tabs but that shouldn't affect the beam pattern or glare right? (can you enlighten me on which screw does which a picture would be more helpful to me , thanks)


i'll get you some pictures soon if I managed to park at an empty parking lot and capture the beam at a wall or possibly some trees (both low and high)


so far I believe the performance is great brightness is perfect and beam distance reached is much higher than halogens (high beam is very effective as well)


I can also feel that the engine is smoother no more flickering from the bulbs when transmission is in drive and stopped halogens were flickering a little bit ( my battery is new BTW, I got no electrical mods at all )


just for the information I got full LED interior that will blind vampires and bats will post a thread about it later on


stay tuned and I appreciate your and others feedback, information. again I am not an expert in this industry (lighting) still learning a bit everyday thanks to you guys

To be honest the pictures/video won't show us the difference unless you take the same picture using stock vs LED bulbs. However, how do you feel the lights do? Did they improve lighting alot or slightly? Is the LED bulb color bluish or White?

regarding the color tone, it's about exactly as in the last pictures on parking lot.


a very light tint of blue


here's what I like,


cooler tones are harder on the eyes than warmer tones, that's why police cars has blue lights on them it distracts focus and it's harder to concentrate continuously on a cooler temp light


so this light color suits me , I prefer pure white though but that's harder to find


they are labeled as xenon white 6000-6500k
it seems to fall into that range as described




the lighting is far better than stock bulbs


will try my best to take exact pictures on stock vs LED's


you can see some of them on earlier pictures on my driveway




overall they seem as described 3000 lumens


will take some pictures in very dark areas hopefully


good luck

The color and pattern look good to me. Do you notice any flickering or pulsing of the beam from behind the wheel when scanning quickly from side to side across the light's path? I'm talking about comparing it to how LED tail lights flicker when your vision scans across them.
