    How is the throw with the LEDs in the highs? I picked up the XD HIDs for the low beams and will be switching the LEDS to the high beams.

    I'll second you on this. You can't beat the price I think I got them on a Amazon lightning deal for $21. I originally bought them for my wife's Mazda and I was so surprised by the performance I picked up a set for myself.

    I'm super happy with them. Fills in the gaps very nicely

    Got the HIDs installed. Blows the LEDs out of the water in terms of throw. Glad I made the switch. Drives on mountain roads at night, couldn't see a deer far down the road until it is right in front of me. If i had to guess, the LEDs throw maybe what felt like 100 - 150 ft. The HIDs easily throw 300 ft. LEDs in the high beam reflectors now.
