    Got mine today I had some h11 led in the fogs that were useless so I moved them to the headlights. There not bad and they fit in perfectly.

    I ordered mine from DT MOTO since they’ve lowered the price. I got it within 2 days.
    It was hard to get the 3rd screw from under the wheel well but following videos that fellow TW members posted really helped a lot.

    Edit: I’ve used my H11 foglight LEDs and tried to see the light output.

    I will now try to find 360 degree LED bulbs soon.

    I wouldn’t put LED bulbs in these projectors, they’re going to be worse.

    Hi, what type of LED are those? Are they 360 degree LED?

    Should I just get HIDs than LEDs?

    Someone tried LEDs in this thread a while back, you can probably find the posts. I think HIDs are working in these, someone tried those too. It’s just that they’re designed to be used with halogen bulbs. I have read that halogen projectors sometimes do well with HIDs, but for LEDs you need a projector designed for them. Someone can feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

    Thank you sir. I will try to find those posts and help me decide on what kind of bulbs to use. The halogen bulbs that came with it are not that bright. I am used on having LEDs on my stock housing, so when I bought these new housing, I have thought of replacing it with LEDs.

    Right. 6000lm and 6000k both. If it was 6000lm and 4300k temperature I'd probably give them a try. 6000k is way too blue for me though as I prefer a more OEM 4300k.

    I agree, I don’t like the blue or purple tinge. Depends on the bulbs but I like a white light whenever possible.

    If you're still looking for 360* LEDs, I had the H4 version installed recently. They seemed like they were fairly good quality, and I haven't seen any other design like them since.

    I've had these in my 15' for about six months and love them. I have pressure washed my truck a half dozen times now with no condensation and I live in north west Colorado at 6500ft. I switched the H9 bulbs to the Kenson H9 HID 35W Kit with 5000K and it was a huge improvement for night time driving. The H9 that came with the Spyder lights was orange and dingy. The Kenson HID upgrade is much brighter and the 5000K is a nice white look that goes well with the rest of look of the Spyder lights. The Kenson HID upgrade is easy to install. Here are some after upgrade pics!
