    Because they do get hot and are electronic devices... but the chips are so tiny the heat needs to be dispersed carefully. The Junction temperature of an LED is 185°C

    Edit: A lot of high end LED chips that I have seen have a temp cutoff to prevent device failure as well.

    I wonder if these are made at the same factory but $30 cheaper?

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017UWKQU4?psc=1

    I ended up ordering a second pair of the Phillips. I just wanted my headlights and fogs to match. They are bright enough just not HID bright. Price is back up on Amazon.. Has been as low as $130. Got tired of waiting for the Opt7's to go back to Prime shipping... and returns.

    Does anyone know how bright these are compared to a 6K HID setup? I couldn't find the exact lumen output on Amazon.

    As long as its still in the ballpark I am happy. I hate having to deal with the heat and ballasts of HID bulbs. No matter how much you spend it always seems like a ballast goes out.

    Thanks I'll try that haha. Maybe I'll get some free high beams out of it!

    For people interested, it says 3,500 lumens per bulb.

    Installed my low beams today. I love the quality of the kit and the fitment. The fans on my headlights are pretty loud though. Is everyones the same?

    I have morimoto elite 5500k fog lights, I wonder if the 6000k led opt7 will be close if I use those instead of HID for low beam?....
