    You must not of gotten the bright white ones. Mine are extremely white and bright. They have something like seven different color levels. The blue colored ones are worthless at light output, and hard for on coming drivers to look at...

    I ordered 5000K. Shouldn't be blue. I am very knowledgeable when it comes to lighting. I wouldn't order anything over 5500K.

    I use their flux beam leds and they're great. Way brighter than stock. Looks awesome, no delay like hid, and they've lasted a few months now

    @Spidious @lonzorizo haven't read any great reviews on these so keeping away from them. The blitz and the other hid kits are great products. Used to have the blitz on my Tc and loved them and were bright. Any of yall have night shots with them?

    Them bullet kits are the first of their kind. Tiny little ballasts that require no mounting. I have had my fair share of experience with HIDs, those bullets are a good fog light conversion, but they are not very good for headlights. I believe they should simply be sold as fog specific kits, they would do much better, especially in rating.... Also the color being blue, that has a lot of play in DC vs AC ballasts. With OPT7 all of their blitz/bullet line ballasts are DC output. If you want a true color temperature you are going to want an AC output ballast which I believe theirs are color Bolt and Boltzen.

    Right but your talking about the Blitz Bullet with the mount-less ballasts. Those are the ones I didn't hear a lot of good reviews on.

    I personally would rather go with the mounting ballasts. But would still like to see some shots of the bullets.

    Still work great !
    One problem, if I have the lower driving/fog lights on and flash my high beams the fog lights will start flashing fast. I am sure it is because they didn't fire up right. So I just shut them off for a few seconds and then turn them back on.

    I ordered the Blitz 55w 6k HID w/relay harness for lows and the Blitz bullet 3k for fogs. Should be coming in tomorrow so will have them installed tomorrow or Friday.

    please report back with your install. i'm leaning toward this solution for my '17. i have the Rigid fogs (Pro), and the low beams definitely need some help.

    Will do sir. I was looking at ordering the Pro fogs but they're too damn expensive.
