    I've read through some of this thread. But do you replace the low beams and high beams with the exact same bulb? So you would order two sets of whatever you were getting? And everything should be H11 including fog lights?

    So here is a pic of the cutoff line. Pretty decent. I did notice that these do have a hint of blue in them and also that they don't throw as far as the halogen bulbs do. Could also be because it's not completely dark and it's been pouring all morning. Hoping that these LEDs will look different in some clear weather. IMG_9501.jpg

    To do your projector headlights, fogs and brights you will need three sets! I ran 2 sets and finally did the brights a few months later.

    Also, I just wanna say... people love to save a buck and I'm with you.. I wouldn't skimp on something like this. These lights are pretty much ideal. Not overly bright to be getting flashed and then some complain that they don't throw as much light as the stock halogens. I somewhat agree with that, believing they throw about the same, just different colors and type of light.

    My point is, if you try something cheaper and they're not the same specs (color-wise or lumens) you may be disappointed. Good luck.

    Yes I did my projectors and fogs in late January and then got another set this past spring for the high beams. I like them. Not insanely bright... I'd say they're fine.

    Thanks! I'm trying to decide between these and the Kensun HID lights. Both seem to have pretty decent reviews

    Just installed Opt7 LED lighting kit, h11on low and fogs. Found the best deal on Ebay, they arrived super quick and install was simple. Looks great IMO.

    Sobhere are some night shots of my Mictuning LEDs. I like that I see just a clean white light and how they have a wider light output. Very pleased overall.

    Has anyone compared the Opt7 with the 2stoke??? The 2stroke claim 5000Lm per bulb vs the Opt7 3500Lm which on paper is a huge difference. Can anyone post pics or their reviews on the 2stroke?

    So which is better quality and brighter? Morimoto HID kit, or the OPT7 HIDs? About to pull the trigger on these Morimoto's at an amazing price but just want to make sure I get the best bang for the buck.

    I am returning the Opt7 and would not recommend them. Great light color, but absolutely horrible throw distance.

    Yea they don't have a wide throw on them just a wider light spread. I bought some Mictuning LED's and don't like them too much for a low beam since they aren't bright enough for me so I'm going to get some HID's for lows and use the led's for fogs.

    My opt7 cover as well as the oem bulbs but they are a lot brighter. I didn't like them at first but after a few days they look great.

    These are not direct, fit I opened the package and one of the mounting holes was broken, contacted the seller for a replacement and they told me I would have to file a claim with the post office and then finally told me they would refund my money after I returned them. I'm still waiting for a return label, tomorrow I will file a claim with Ebay. Don't waste your money.
