The only LED's that look good are the ones in the new Audis. Someone should put a new audi q5 headlight in an nnbs,That would be sick!

They just arrived today and I love the way they look. They are much more sturdy and better put together than the other cheap aftermarket ones I have seen and had in the past.

Ha... the sticker on the side says that HID bulbs are "not allowed". :hahano: The highs and lows are both H1's, so I am waiting for the H1 HID bulbs to arrive from DDM before I can install these. I'm putting 35W in the lows and 55w in the highs. I'll post some pics when I get them on.

:emotions122:

Post some NOW!!!!!!

Here's a teaser pic until I get them fully installed. I threw them in to see how they would look.

Damn I can't wait to see these installed and a full shot of the front end. Only sad thing for me is one of my customers wants to buy my Denali now so I might have to wait until the end of the summer when I buy another one to get these

cannot believe how good that looks actually on the truck. But i would like to see them at night when you turn on the lights. Personally i think those blue led lights cheapens the look, so i agree with some people posting that you shouldnt wire those in.

Thanks for the comments fellas… I love the way these things look so far.

I wired them in to see what the LEDs would look like and they aren’t actually blue. They’re more like a 6000K color which will match the HIDs I am putting in.

A couple of notes for those thinking of possibly purchasing these… the 3157 amber bulb I switched out to a chrome coated amber bulb, which is shown in the top row of lights. This made a huge difference to get rid of the amber look in the daytime. It kind of disappears in the housing now and looks like it belongs that way.

Putting HIDs in these was a complete pain and took a lot of modification. It can be done, but it is the opposite of plug and play. The housing that the stock bulbs go into is not wide enough to accept a HID bulb. Also, the covers to keep the moisture out are too close to the projector to allow for the HID bulb and must be cut out… among other things. It’s almost like they went out of their way to make these HID-proof. It took a lot of filing, cutting, and drilling to get them in, but I finally did it. I siliconed them up and they are currently drying right now.

I should have them on tomorrow and I’ll take some pics if everything goes right.
