    Thanks. I'll check them out. Did you have to modify anything when you installed them?

    The downside to LED is you lose a lot of the cutoff that are designed in the projector lights. They tend to flood the area vs. that distinct line that projectors provide. They are much brighter however if that is what you are after. I've seen where some folks have adjusted the beam by rotating the LED in the housing to improve the beam pattern.

    They look brighter if you are looking at them, but no comparison to HIDs in our housings. HIDs will project better and give you more usable light on the road.
