Depends on the vehicle. I don't think those will fit on a Tahoe. There's not much room behind the light socket on a Tahoe. The fender interferes.

I'm seriously considering ordering them, just have to check the socket to see if they'll fit......will give feedback if I have good luck. Read the reviews on amazon there have been great reviews and they should pnp.

Those Starnill LEDs look a LOT like the Opt7 LED headlights. If the heat sink/fan assembly that is on the back of those lights are anywhere near the same size of the Opt7 bulbs (Note that Opt7 bulbs are listed below the ad for the Starnill lights in the "Customers who bought this also bought..." section), they won't fit without body modifications.
We have the Opt7s in our 2012 Caprice 9C1, and they are absolutely awesome lights. Since one of the lights also fit the Tahoe, I tried to install them on our 2010 Tahoe PPV, and there's no way without cutting some of the inside front fender pieces away.
I'm still looking for something to put in the Tahoe, and applaud you for wanting to try the Starnill bulbs. I look forward to seeing how they do.

If you wanna go PnP LED headlights, Im running lifetime LED headlights High output lights that put out 3250 lumens, however they are on the expensive side, about $250. The cheaper one runs $185 I think and it puts out 2000 lumens I think. The brightness is very noticeable compared to regular headlights to the point where people in front of me thinking im driving around with my high beams on. So it just depends on how bright you want your headlights. A word of caution though, sometimes the headlight may flicker but if it recurs, lifetimeled replaces it. But personally im switching back to regular headlights, most likely silverstars because I don't want to get pulled over by cops thinking im driving with my high beams on or piss anyone off for blinding them. Also there are headlights that lifetimeled sells that can fit in the fog light, it is ridiculously bright if your interested in that.

There are no fitment issues that I saw, its a direct fit from the back of the headlight housing, also there is a ballast that needs to be put somewhere but it comes with adhesive backing so you can pretty much stick it anywhere.

I looked up plainansimple on IG and they do some killer conversion but saw nothing about parts to buy so I'm assuming they would only convert new headlight sets or existing sets....any clue on the cost?
