LifeTime LED Headlights??

i guess I ll have to modify the rigid Dually to the tacoma headlights....

 

kinda off topic but rigid makes DOT approved dually’s now. or some that look a lot like the dually’s.

 

Small market is what I would assume to be the primary deterrent. The housing would have to be designed from the ground up for LEDs to have the proper light output. That's why you see LED headlights for common stuff like 7" round and other sealed beam housings since those are used on a large variety of vehicles. Projector housings are cheap and easy to build and sell, so there are a lot of those. Hell, I've looked for a projector housing for a Ford E-150 and I don't see any available. A proper LED headlight would probably cost more than a proper HID retrofit.

 

The best part about that new site is the "30 Day Unlimited Warranty".

 

Unlimited limited warranty hot damn, let's all get some new lights!

 

I'm not a professional and I certainly don't have near enough knowledge of HID, LED, or Halogen technology. I know a little about this and a little about that and this is my opinion. The fact of this whole matter is that LED technology is still in infancy for HEADLIGHTS, not off-road applications. Proper LED headlights (BMW, Audi, Mercedes) require many many LEDs paired along with super precise optics that utilize magnification and refraction as a means to focus the sharp light from the diodes. Why do you think the Audi A8 needs 10 little modules PER headlight, each with x amount (I don't remember how many) of diodes in each module. Line that up with an Audi a few generations back (or even an Acura, known for superior projector beam patterns) with HID headlights. Not only are the HIDs brighter, they are focused better. Same thing goes for off-road. Guys running tons of LED bars just to illuminate the foreground and 4...count them 4 spotlights above the cab for throw and spreading out the light. You can get spotlights in Halogen as well as HID, in driving patterns and pencil beam patterns. I've even seen some companies reaching into LED territory...wanna guess how those LED spotlights match up to Halogen and HID spotlights? HID technology is already here and I see no sense in constantly throwing money at LED headlights when, for a little more, you can have yourself a nifty set of retrofitted headlights. Not my money I suppose. Now BMW is testing with Laser headlights, which do seem promising. This may sound like a rant, hate on me all you want...just my 2 pennies.

 

Drivers side headlight started flickering tonight. This is my 6th warranty claim with them. These lights are the biggest pieces of shit I have ever seen. How this guy can still be in business I'll never know.

 

I still need to send 2 sets back. I can't believe how shitty these are. 2 of them didnt make 1 day

 

im just waiting for mine to die, then i'll just go back to silverstars...

 

They make new businesses and let the others fail.

Then you can sell the same cheap shit, start fresh without those annoying, numerous warranty claims, and all is well unless someone sues you!

 

They sent me a brand new set of leds. Great right? WRONG! These are cheaper and less lumens. This company sucks!

 

Wow, you guys must have gotten the really cheap 2nd rate Chinese remanufactured reject sets of these. Mine are STILL working great after about 2 years now.
I did however get mine through Auto Anything under the PlasmaGlow brand though...Uh oh....I just remembered that they only have a 2 year warranty too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

 

I'm on my 4th set... They just sent the new silver all metal ones. Anybody else have these?

 

mine died on day 1...

 

Well I joined the club... my driver side went out this morning. Should I even bother trying to return them or is it just a waste of time?

 

Yeah, make them up another set so you can sell them and get something back. I would dog them out and make them send as many warranty ones as possible. Take the ones people are trashing and send those back in too......while running retros, HIDs or good ole halogens. Let me throw this out there again - Philips Xtremevision halogens.

 

Searched and really need to know what lift is on this, thanks!

 

Heres a good laugh.

June 6th email from Lifetime LED reads "We are going to send you a Gen2 replacement which have tested very well in more vehicles. Tracking 1Z29A56R0344001569"

Those failed this weekend and today I get this email "We are not able to refund a purchase that was made a year and a half ago but we will warranty the lights. We now have the Gen2 headlights that have tested far better than the previous headlights. We will send you a set of the new lights to replace the lights you have now."

They will not warranty my money and but they will keep sending me junk sets of LEDs. This is my 7th or maybe 8th warranty.

 

That is more than likely the 6" lift. There are lots of companies that make them; fabtech, tuff country, rough country, and pro comp just to name a few.

 

Reason is I am having a BIG PROBLEM finding a 3" lift for my 2015 xsp-x model... I have talked to a few people Rough County etc and their kits will not work due to the strut on the front of that model is a little longer...
