    Interesting.... I had a loaner '14 Corolla with LED headlights, they are fantastic! Even at $150 I will be tempted. Instant ON, real bright... so much so that I was getting flashed, and you can see much better than with halogens IMO.

    Lifetime warranty is only as good as long as the company is in business. I'll definitely look into these though.

    I have a similar set that I am running on my rig. I purchased them from autolumination.com and I am pretty pleased with them. They are a lot brighter and put out a much whiter light than the factory halogens. The one thing that I was disappointed with was the light output from low to high; not much brighter. They are very easy to install and there is no warm up time like HID's require. I am probably going to go back to HID's though, I personally like the output of light and color that the HID's put out. If you guys have any question let know.

    They will blind oncoming drivers because the lens was not made for Led bulbs just like the HID that are not projectors.

    Do you have first hand experience of this? Just curious since the bulbs are completely different from each other. I do understand about the HID's in stock housings but just because the housings were designed for stock bulbs doesn't mean that they didn't design the LED bulbs to work with the stock housing. I'm not saying they will I'm just interested to see.

    I'm running Sylvania zXe bulbs in mine and I've been pretty happy with them. But I've had them for over a year and I know they could burn out at anytime. The thought of a longer lasting high performance bulb has me interested.

    They will only "blind" oncoming traffic if you don't adjust your headlights.

    Are the HIGH And LOW beams both LED? Stock LEDs on a Corolla are LED low beam, halogen high beam. Its weird, white light on low, yellow light on high. And yes, not much difference in intensity low to high.

    We have one portal in the headlight housing. So they're both LED

    Stock for now...
    I have a set on my '77 FJ40 , same fitment in a pair of IPF 7" E-cut housings - love 'em . Light output is excellent , color temp is dead on @5500k . Work great in rain snow ect ...
    The pattern is slightly different that halogen oem bulbs but a slight aiming adjustment takes care of that , just depends on the housing's reflector .
