    Yet factory HID/LED that have properly designed projectors for that bulb type don't have any issues with oncoming traffic. In fact, many of those systems have even less glare for oncoming drivers because the beam cut off is so good. You will never achieve the same sticking an LED or HID bulb into a halogen projector. So don't claim it has anything to do with the brightness of the light, because it has everything to do with using the incorrect bulb in a housing that wasn't designed for it.

    Roughly 2.5 weeks and no complaints here. Light is clean, bright and works great for me.

    For those that have resulted in plugging in the Opt7 flux capacitor, it bumps the LED output to 1.21 jiggawatts. IMO, keep your taco under 88 mph.

    Any issues of blinding oncoming traffic? Do they high beam flash you?

    I haven't had that happen once. There's a pretty good cut off that prevents you from blinding others.

    Just received my OPT7's today and followed the instructions that were
    provided made it easily installed in less than 20 minutes. I'm very impressed with the color, clarity, and brightness. I only ordered two boxes and installed them in the low and high beam slots. I'm definately going ordered another box for the fog lights. :)

    . Hi! Not really but I am not sure if they were properly installed, I never check if each LED "bulb" was meant to be for left or right beam and or if the orientation of the led "bulb" had an up or down setting

    My high beam seems a bit out of focus.. And I had minor condensation the first night but I live in freacking Cancun were humidity is at its best.

    Almost 2 months of driving with the OPT-7 and 0 complaints, 0 high-beam flash from other drivers, nothing. However today I noticed my passenger bulb went out. Looked kinda like it was flickering then nothing. Will check it tmrw to update. This is strange because this is the only side I used the polarity pigtail. Hmmm..... Oh, I emailed opt-7 and received a troubleshoot email response in less than 1 hour. Thumbs up

    Ok, had some water damage in the plug between the polarity reverse cable and the bulb 'igniter' cable. Had it all squared away with OPT-7 to receive another cable. Luckily I had a spare I didn't use to replace it. Just heads up guys, the weatherproof seals are not 'weatherproof'

    Maybe I am misinterpreting what you are saying but would something like liquid electrical tape work to make the seal weatherproof?
