    Now that's good output! In my opinion LEDs are not quite there yet. For now HID's are far better

    So just an update. I double checked all my connections and the headlight harness from the Opt-7 x beams was loose at the factory harness connector. Is there any reason for this? I just don't see anyway someone can fudge up such an easy install. Aren't the x-fluxbeams essentially the same as the original fluxbeam, fitment etc

    I installed them. I'm fairly mechanically inclined so I'm saying I don't think I messed up the install. Just the fitment or the harness seems somewhat sloppy, and causing my lows to not turn on

    Try turning the connector over and plugging it back in. I noticed on the plugs from Opt7 there are plastic tabs on each side of the connector. One is closer to the end of the connector and the other is farther up.

    Did that and it worked just fine. One side of the opt-7 connector is square and the other is a tapered plastic side. Stupid me plugged them in backwards, long story short they work now. Just a heads up for anyone installing these for the first time.

    Do you have any pictures of the output? Absolutely no fitment issues?

    If you are buying the LED headlights. They are plug and play. Just by the set and it has everything you need.

    i will try and get some pics soon.
    no fitment issue. that only thing when installing you have to remove the one headlight bolt up top to pull the light forward like 1/8" to clear the heatsink past but once its past there is tons of room.
    been running them for a while and I will say they are an improvement over stock. I can see wider and the throw seems to be about the same but the LED ignite up anything reflector from a MUCH further distance then the halogen did. so street signs and road markers are much more visible from further away even past how far the lights seem to throw

    @jctacoma17 It's better to get a relay for your lows if you're doing HIDs. It hooks up and pulls the power directly from your battery to power the HIDs. I just put in 55w HIDs In my lows yesterday and I used a relay harness to protect my factory wiring. I also put the blitz bullet on my fogs but no harness.

    Agreed though I was able to fit the lights without shifting anything.

    My opt7 started flickering and then went off after hitting some small bumps in the road. They were not bad bumps. After looking at them I think it might be the connection from the converter to the stock plug. Any ideas? I'm thinking about talking to opt7 about it.

    Likely, I taped all connections with electrical tape.

    Interesting... My Opt7 fog light bulb did the same thing tonight. The drivers side light started to flicker and went off and on. These lights have worked perfectly for two months in my low beams and fogs. I double checked the connections and everything was secure. I've read that other members on here have had some issues as well. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has an idea what's going on.
