    Install tip. I also unbolted the washer fluid bottle. It gives you a little more room. Huge difference between these and the halogen bulbs. These bulbs with my Rigid light bar and it's "light up night".

    Hey.. here is the link to their site for the 9003/H4 LED Headlights that I purchased:

    http://www.briteassleds.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=56

    I have to say, they are considerably brighter and really light up the road. I'm quite happy with them. Here are a couple pics that I took to compare them against my garage door, they were taken on different nights and I forgot to measure the distance with the LED Headlights.

    Stock Halogen Headlights about 8 feet from my garage door:

    LED Headlights, I forgot to measure how far I was from my garage door:

    I'll try to get some pics of the LED Headlights on the road.

    Just installed the Brite ass led headlight kit and I love how easy and quick it was. The light output is literally day and night difference from stock bulbs. And these LEDs do have a clear cut off. I highly recommend them to anyone.

    My wife picked up on my hints and ordered me the headlight set (I did email her the hyperlink;)) for Christmas. Just finished the install which was really easy and quick. I did unbolt the windshield washer fluid reservoir as well and that made the space to install the right side much easier. Haven't tested them at night yet but just from comparison of these to stock in daylight, it really is a huge difference. The color is better and it looks much brighter. I am very excited to see what it looks like at night :D

    Now I just need to order the fogs to complete the look

    For those who had these done how have they held up?

    I am a retard when it comes to lighting, but does this LED kit maximize the light output of the OEM bulbs?

    This kit replaces the OEM bulb. You can use the OEM housing though.

    I have had mine on since January so not that long but they have been great!

    Love them. Money well spent for nighttime visibility. No flashes from pissed off oncoming traffic. Ever.

    They've survived a loooong and very cold winter, though those little fans did complain a few times in startup. I will likely also do the fogs now.

    Excellent low beam performance. High beam seems a bit underwhelming, but maybe that's because the low beam is so good and stays on with the high LED to act like a halogen bulb. Light output colour/temperature is, by my eye, an exact match with my 6k 55w HID floods.

    9/10, would buy again.
