    Glare is impossible to determine which performs better. These unfortunately don't tell us anything.

    I installed OPT7 LED low beams and color wise they look great. I did however notice that even with the cool white color I don't feel like they give me any additional visibility. I'd say it's comparable to stock halogen output. IMO if you're looking to blind people or you drive in the country HID might be a better option. The more yellow headlight is the halogen in the attached picture.

    I completely swapped out all of my lights, interior and exterior with the products offered by VLEDS, HIDs in the low beams and LED everywhere else including Triton in the 4 turn signals and Triton brake lights.

    So far so good, very happy with the product, they may be more pricey than other vendors but it is a quality product with good customer service and I am happy.

    VLEDS also offered good advice on installation and configuration of bulbs when I spoke with them by phone.

    Sorry to ask this in this thread. But 2 questions.
    1. I got some 7443 switchbacks for the DRL and want them to be white even when headlights are off so I got the resistors. So would I tap into the DRL wire or the turn signal wire or both wire from resistor go into DRL and turn signal?

    2. I got this 31" led bar and comes with harness in the picture. Can I cut the switch off and connect the switch in the picture?

    Thanks and sorry again

    Does anyone have experience with xenonhids.com LED's? I bought some and they say 6000k, but with one installed to compare, I can't tell the difference between the stock halogen bulbs and them.

    I would not buy these from this particular seller reason being: I bought this pair of lights for my Tacoma 2017. Now the lights rock and are great but, after I receive the package and a quick google search of the bulbs they are going for less than 50.00 bucks from other sellers on Ebay. I contacted the seller and asked why he triple the price of the lights and never responded! (I paid 145.00) same lights for 45.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/281711632454?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    I purchased the below LED's for both Low and Fog and they have performed just fine. Just make sure to purchase the conversion wiring adapter for the low beams (and probably high beams). I ended up blowing out a low beam set that didnt have the adapters because the wattage level for low beams is higher than it is at the fog lights. Fogs run without adapter with no issues.

    Output was better than halogens, but I think the main contributor was the color temp itself as the 6500k white seems to illuminate the road better.

    Yes, these run hot, but I had them on for a 6hr night off road run with outside temps at 80+deg with an avg mph of 3mph and had zero issues with the lights.

    Plug Type: H11/H9/H8,single beam
    Power: 72W/set(36W/bulb)
    LED Quantity(each bulb): 2pcs* CREE XHP50 chips
    Luminous Flux: 8000lm/set(4000lm/bulb)
    Operating Voltage: DC 9-32V(fit 12V,24V vehicles)
    Color Temperature: Pure White 6500K
    IP65 rated water and dust seal,360 degree beam angle
    Material: Aviation 6063 aluminum profile
    Operating Temperature: -40-80 degree Celsius
    Over 30000hrs lifetime
    Usage: headlight,fog light
