    Hi all. Driving a wicked long commute here to visit family in a few weeks. Thinking of upgrading my lights to something a little brighter (and also to match the LED output of my PRO fogs). I have heard the LED bulbs kinda stink. Are HIDs still a thing?

    This is a video of all my lights but I do show the H11 2Strokes separate to get you a idea how bright they actually are!

    I wish the ones I got were a little more towards the whiter side of the spectrum (they're a little blue) but the Supernova v3's I got are great w/ no issues at install or operation time.

    I have StreetGlow LEDs in my rig and they are amazing. Here are some pics I took while driving home. I apologize for the awful quality but I hope they give you an idea..

    First photo is low beams only. Second is low with fogs. Third is low and high beams.
