    Thanks checked it. Excited since even a kerosene lantern is brighter than stock headlights.

    Totally convinced on these, I'm going to order a pair next week after I get paid. Hopefully, the discount code will still work :D

    Driving to work this morning I experienced significant interference/static listening to the radio with the LED lights on. I switched them on/off repeatedly and it was definitely the new lights to blame. Has anyone else experienced this or have a fix????:confused::(:mad:

    Read the previous page. If you have the LED Drivers or wires in contact with metal it can produce interference. Relocate the wires to avoid the metal and it'll go away :)

    I have the LED drivers double stuck taped to metal but the wires are all zip tied to other wire looms, I guess I'll pull them up and zip tie them as well and report back my findings. :pray:

    All my wires from the LED drivers (ballast?) are not touching anything. The Driver is taped to the flat area below each head light.
