    So are you using both the flux capacitor and polarity harness? Or just the polarity harness? Thanks

    Just got my opt 7 led for low beam I'm about to install and still don't see a definitive answer. Some people are running the flux capacitor and some aren't but looks like everyone is running the polarity harness. Does it hurt to run all the harnesses it came with?

    If someone would be so kind to post up a high beam pattern vs halogen and maybe some road photos that would be fantastic. I ran HID's in my jeep with a light bar as the high beam. I loved the instant on of the light bar and the sheer amount of light it put out.

    Cansomeone answer my question. Do you have to move or shift the headlight out because the bulb looks pretty long or can it just sneak right into the h11 socket. I ask because the windshield fluid tank seems to be in the way when i took a peak this morning

    It's very easy and you have plenty of room. The new light will go in with no problems.

    Sounds like some sort of wiring issue. Either something was grounding out or the lights were pulling way too much power.

    It's a little bit of a tight fit if you have fat hands like I do, but everything fits without any modifications.

    Holy shit. Just when I thought I was beginning to understand. "Polarity" and "Flux capacitors" jumped in. :facepalm:

    +1 for pics of some beam patterns at night. I'm a huge fan of the DDM Tuning 55w 5k HID kit that is in my 4Runner right now but LED's have me curious is the lumens are there.

    Just put in the Opt7 H11 in the lows and the less expensive $39 Opt7 fogs. The fogs are useless....I'm sending them back for a set of the same in the lows. Not yet dark, so we'll see how they look after dark.

    Are most people ordering the 7000K or 6000K? I'm thinking 6000K because I don't want them to be too blue.
