    Ordered Thursday morning, on truck for delivery this morning. Should be there when I get home tonight. Got 2 sets of H11s for lows and fogs. Fast shipping and wasn't on Prime - not bad.

    I placed an order Saturday and got an email today saying they are backordered at least 2 weeks. :(

    Nice. I'm just hoping they aren't too "blue" for my liking.

    Bummer! The shipping tracking actually says "estimated delivery Feb. 10 - 16." Apparently it went a lot faster than that... currently "on truck for delivery."

    I'm liking the photos everyone posted so far. Excited to try these out, certainly agree that the stock halogens are weak.

    They won't be. I love mine, great white color, matches the running lights perfectly and also (whether by design or not) there's a bit of light spillover into the rest of the light housing that looks really nice.

    Good thing is they offered to take 15% off the order if I decided to wait and not cancel. So I'm waiting. Lol

    Nice.

    I ordered these for the license plate lights to hopefully match the headlights and fogs:

    And I saw the above linked license plate LEDs in this thread:

    Me too. I received a second email today saying they should ship this week. Funny, I'll have Morimoto 5500K HID headlights, OPT7 6000K LED high beams and XenonDepot LED 6000K Fogs with passive cooling. This should look interesting when they all get installed.

    The LED itself is far more sensitive to temperature. They'll begin to degrade and separate at high temperatures. Halogens, however, are designed to operate at much much higher temperatures, we are talking about a glowing hot filament of metal. HID's are similar, it's a hot electric arc that produces its light. Although consider that an LED will output around 3-5 times the lumens as a halogen. So basically they'll produce about the same amount of light as a 120w halogen bulb while consuming 30 watts. Which means if you assume a 10% luminous efficiency of the LED that's around 3 watts being converted to light and 27 watts to heat, the halogen at 2.5% efficiency makes 117 watts of heat to 3 watts of light.

    Says HID but the color vs how many "K" should be the same as LED

    I have had these lights for about a year now.
    They got dim after a few months.

    Worst part is that you have to cut the grommet behind the head light housing for the fan to fit.
    If you try to just cover the fan with the grommet, the light will overheat.

    I now have moisture in my headlight housing because of the grommet being trimmed.

    I go off roading a lot so these are not working for me.

    I actually just received my ULTIMATE HEADLIGHT UPGRADE LIGHTS in the mail today.

    Have not installed them yet.

    Unsure whether they are Bullshit or not.

    Hopefully this is not an issue with the 16's. Also, thank you for posting in oversized bold lettering.
