    Wow, price took me back just a tad. I wouldn't mind spending the money if there was any warranty, but there's no testimate to the quality or longevity of the bulbs. I'm sure they're fine, but backing up the product means a lot.

    Agreed man, That came as a small shock to me at first as well. They guys I bought them from said they had a warranty, I wanted to be sure as well. I Checked their website and found this, thats what really gave me a peace of mind in the purchase.

    I'm confused by your pictures. Some of them seem to be taken from different locations, and they aren't labeled so we can compare. What's what?

    You don't want LED bulbs anyway if you have retrofits, as they are designed for HID bulbs. Switching to LED bulbs would give you the incorrect beam pattern and would most likely significantly decrease the light output. Besides, HID bulbs are a good 1000 lumens brighter than any of the LED options out there right now.

    Don't think you are correct on the lumen output bro. I did a fair amount of research before purchasing these bulbs. The 6k LED bulbs have a 3200+lm output. I have yet to see a 6k hid bulb that has an output over 4000lm

    Just means he is subscribed to this thread so he gets a notification everytime someone posts something on here.

    But I wonder how they are in the 05-11 headlight housings. I read that the Lifetime LED headlights were amazing in 12+ housing but didn't really make a difference in 05-11. Not sure why

    haha no problem, I didn't know what it meant for a while when I joined.

    Is the light output about the same as yours? And yeah if he had some pictures like you that would be great! How long did it take to install in the headlights and then fogs too?
