    Put the driver side low beam in during lunch. Very easy, although I feel like the connection from the polarity connector to the trucks regular power connector is a little loose and can be pulled apart without releasing the clip. Anyone else find this? I'll likely wrap it with electrical tape to feel better.
    Quick comparison pics in the garage:

    Have a set for the fogs as well, I'll put them in soon.

    Try a 180 turn on the connector. I know when I put mine together there was one way that seemed like it fit a bit more snug and it still lit, so I went with it. I also used some electrical tape to make myself feel better and everything felt snug and good.

    Just wanted to say how great these lights are. I was very surprised how well they lit up the road. Has anyone installed in their high beams yet?

    I definitely want to try one for my Harley

    Installed mine today. They look nice but not bright enough for me. Wish they came in a 4300k instead like the stock HID's in my Lexus. I know these are LED's and are not HID's but I'm sure the color temperature is measured the same way regardless what type of bulb.

    SUPER SIMPLE, plug and play. took 20 minutes for all 4 bulbs. when you're connecting the bulb to the car, look at the tab on bulb end. where the connection is made, 1 tab is lower than the other side, make sure that lower part connects to the outside part of the car's connector and you'll hear a faint snap, securing the connection (i wished i took pictures of that).

    @joltyK ^^ Can you explain your photos re: left vs. right? Lows only on left? lows + fogs on right? high beams anywhere?
    Did you do all 4 bulbs (lows and fogs)?

    I bought the LED import brand because of the $69.99 price and Prime shipping. I know if I have an issue that Amazon will refund my money the next day (a big plus for me)

    I put them on and they fit perfectly. I did have to angle them to get them in but there is plenty of clearance. So far firing into my garage they look white and bright. I will have to test them out tonight.

    Good luck with that. I tried running an 85W Halogen bulb in my Harley. It was brighter until the lens permanently clouded from overheating. I'll stick with LED's.

    I could not find that information. I looked online also. I touched my headlight assembly after about ten minutes or so and it was cool to the touch. Later I'll feel around the back end of it.

    No worries, I actually meant color temp but I see Amazon only had one... Yours looked to had a blue tint to it but it must have been the camera. :thumbsup:

    ^ Mine are VERY close to pure white (OPT7 h11's like OP has). I think they look slightly blue while the stock halogen fog bulbs are still installed since those are yellowish. I am hoping to change my fogs today and will post pics when I get it done. been busy at work...
    The color temp of the OPT7s is 6000K if that's what you were asking.

    Yes they have a bluish tint. I wish they were 4300k-5000k. The pix people are posting makes it seem brighter and whiter than they are. They look nice but that's about it. Compared to my Lexus they aren't as bright.
