    Installed mine in March. I leave my lights(fog and headlight) on all the time and still work like new. I've been through mud, trees, Colorado jeep trails, 17 hour drives, several thorough power washes in the engine bay, and lots of bumpy roads.

    I had HID on my Audi, and these LED'S seem similar when it comes to rain and snow. the bright white light bounces off of everything. In the rain it's like they don't really light up the road as much, and in the snow(when it is actually falling)it will reflect off the snow flakes, so if driving in a heavy snowfall at night, you will see every snowflake. it's not so much the type of bulb as it is the bright white color, even when switching to a whiter halogen, you will have this problem.

    They aren't great in the snow or rain, which is why I went ahead and got some yellow fog lights to balance it out. That seems to help out.

    Thanks for the reviews guys. I personally am slightly sketched out by the Company itself no longer responding to the thread as soon as 1 guy mentioned radio static issues while running. Leads me to believe customer service would be a pain if an issue needed resolution.

    I didn't see you were already running HID, that would have made it easy, absolutely no difference switching to LED.

    When I looked at there site for the 9003 bulb size it states that there is a new 2nd generation bulb with upgraded cooling and electronics.... hmmm hope that I can send my "1st gen" for the new updated "2nd gen"

    second that from BA LED's I have been waiting for weeks no response in every way I have tried to contact them. Gave up and bought the Phillips LED kit. Got it installed last night and soooo much better. Wish I would have done the Phillips first.

    This is too bad. I too had radio static issues on my driver's side light. It was noticeable about three weeks after the install (I posted my install earlier in the thread). I spoke with Matt at BAL about the problem. He asked me to trouble shoot by switching the power supplies and LEDs to see what part was bad and he would send me a replacement. A few weeks later, I told him I thought it was the LED. Now no response. It's been over eight weeks. Multiple calls and emails. Nothing.
    Worse, my passenger side light is now doing the same thing.

    I had a friend send an e-mail inquiring about purchasing lights back before Christmas. No response, so I'd say they no longer sell them or they REALLY SUCK. With the lack of response, I'd say they must have bought a bunch of lights, repackaged them, and then sold them under BAL name until they were out, then they skipped town. I leave my lights on all the time and still haven't had any issues, but when I do, I'll know to just switch to something else and let it be.
