    I purchased these on Ebay. They look and feel well built. I was going to install them today but the drivers side had a broken tab. If they replace it I will take pictures with them installed. I'm also going to put Opt7 in my high beams.

    I do like my LED lights. but there is a little less throw compared to stock. Wasnt enough to make me want to switch back. plus after a few days of use. Eyes adjust to color and its easier to see.
    In your photos you can see how LED doesnt throw as far. in LED shot your about 20-30feet closer. but the stock bulbs seem to be lighting up the garage doors a tad more from further away

    @Bajaxr201 depending if I like the mictuning leds or not I could keep these and throw them in my dogs since they have the yellow sleeve you can slip on then get the opt7 leds. I want the yellow fog light look w/white headlights

    How do those compare in price to the Opt7? I'm going to order high beams for my ORDC and might try the Lumas you purchased.

    Didn't take any before pics but here's what they look like. Look exactly like the Opt7 leds. I'll take some once it's gets dark out and I can get a better shot of the cutoff. Super easy instal plug and play. Only about 10 to put on, have to insert them at an angle and didn't have to loosen headlights.

    Also still plenty of space behind the cooling fans on both sides, not like the Opt7 where it's pretty wedged or flush against the metal part on passenger side. They do come with the "yellow" sleeve, tried one fog light with it on and not golden or true yellow color like I thought. Have some golden yellow bulbs on the way for the fogs.

    Right! Except these are 6000lm combined, not 7000lm like the Opt7s. Still 60w like the Opt7 and 6k color though. I'll post some more night shots when gets dark.

    They are $48.99 on Amazon and I paid $48.01 after a .98 cent promo lol.

    Better than paying $100 for Opt7 on Amazon and $80 on eBay. Plus I got free 2Day shipping.

    I see the red tips in my fog lights, I think I would see more of the tips in the projectoer high beams.

    Ah okay. I tried them in the fogs but didn't give out the yellow color I was looking for. Maybe it's cuz it was still light out and couldn't see the true yellow....idk but I've got these Opt7 fog bulbs coming in this week to try out IMG_9500.jpg

    I have some yellow laminx on the way. I may try out the white bulbs to see how it looks.

    Are these just halogen with a brighter bulb? What do you think after using them for a couple weeks? I want something different, but there are so many differing opinions...
