whoa, that last one is weird. the camera actually captured the individual LED's of my firefighter light, and somehow imposed them on my bumper... cool!!!!

So - are they bright? How much better can you see the road at night? Have you driven around with them yet? Anyone flash you? Boxers or Briefs?

Troy...

Yes, much better, yes, no, and boxer-briefs.

how abouts a shot of the beam against the wall please?

yeah, I'll need to get me a set of those, the Hi-lows like you got, Joe... I got some 8k "fake" bulbs in my xD right now, they are dim even compared to the stock lights...

you got LED bulbs in your city-light sockets in the headlights, don't you? I was curious how long they will withstand the heat from HID bulbs, especially if the HID run any hotter than regular bulbs... high temperatures will degrade LEDs and shorten their life, and in the xD the headlight bulbs are less than 2 inches away. I notice my LED bulbs need changed out about once or twice a year...

i had my LEDs for almost 2 yrs and i had HIDs for over a year and they still work so i think ul be good

Fine, fine, i'll take a pic against a wall. I have like 1 or two beams from my right light that are "stray" scatter, other than that, no high beamers yet.

Troy, i think they'll be ok. I buy high quality product from china!!! $0.81 on ebay!!! might break the bank if i have to replace them. LOL

OK, that's good to hear, Dizz... The LED bulbs in my headlights are 28-LED SMT bulbs and cost about $25 for the pair, so I don't want to have to replace those too often...!

troy you talking about your show lights? or just cruising lights?

Just my regular LED bulbs for daily driving...

oh. i got a 4 LED light in each headlight. no problems yet, and the lights have been on for a few hours now. probably 5 or 6 hours so far.

oops, I only have 25-LED bulbs in now, I forgot my 28-LED ones burned out a while back... I spent the money on these because I wanted them bright enough to use as daytime running lights... eh, not quite, but they still work good in the morning and evening drive times in the twilight period...

Wow, those are very well-defined patterns, for being HID bulbs in a reflector housing - hardly any scatter at all! Those patterns are actually tighter than my normal bulbs... Gonna have to get these for sure - how much do these run -are they the ones from HIDextra?

Hidextra, and try to win a set on the facebook page troy. LOL

anyways, these ran $87 after the spring coupon code. these are H4 bi-xenon. if you order now and make the trip out here on the 24th, i can hook em up for ya. i got the perfect places to mount the ballasts and run the wires.

nah, I never win anything... I don't have a good story to tell, either. I DO want the bi-xenon, I need high beams out here in Amish farm country, so I don't take out an arse and buggy, now wunst. LOL!

I already said I can't make it out for the 24th meet, I'm going to a car show at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading that day, I paid a $25 registration fee for it... let me know when the next P-burgh meet is - FYI, I'm still free both Memorial day weekend and the July 4th weekend, hint hint...

you telling me to bring my baby out there? hmmm... memorial day weekend i might be going to east texas...

No, for you to get your Scion group to plan something for one of those weekends, so I can come out!
:happy160::party28::party33:

talk to chim chim. she's the "leader"

still no high beams back yet....
