    So,
    Got them in the mail this evening and figured I would throw em in. After-all the truck is a week old and the stock bulbs are geeting weak...haha
    --Install was a BREEZE with the only PITA being hands in tight spaces. No cutting of the rubber boot was needed and they fit GREAT. Took about 35-45 minutes due to tight working area.

    The pics don't really do the bulbs justice. They are WAY brighter than stock. They look and feel like the HIDs in my Grand Cherokee and in my BMW; significantly brighter than stock and a much better color. By no means am I making a claim that they are brighter or more powerful than HIDs... but driving the truck at night the lighting has the same overall feel and look.

    I am very impressed so far.
    Again, Pics dont really do them justice. I will be upgrading to LEDs Foglights soon as well.

    Thanks for the review, I've been doing a lot of research on these and I've seen nothing but good things.

    I'm no electrician. How easy are these to install? And damn they're expensive! $150?!

    I really want these! How much of a bang for your buck are they? And they do indeed just simply replace the old bulb? That's it?

    Yes, they install just like stock bulbs. No modifications so you can always go back to a normal halogen bulb. They are bright, very bright. Not much of a high beam though. I don't even use mine because there is hardly a difference. Other than that I recommend adjusting them down some after the install as they tend to scatter a lot of light. So far I'm pretty pleased with them. The light output is great and it is a very clean white light which I like.

    Can you point us in the direction of the bad reviews? I believe you are thinking of a different brand. We have a warranty return rate of less than 0.2% and have yet to see reviews that mention product failure.
