    I don't think I've mentioned this yet. I had to sand down the sides of both the 9006, foglight and headlight, plugs for them to connect. The oval connector on the ballast is too wide.

    It doesn't appear that they throw the light as far down the road as the halogens.

    As shown here the pattern is different than halogens. The spot on the White and Yellow lines with adequate fill in the center. The video does come off a bit dark and they probably could use adjusting. I left them the same for the comparison.

    11/19 these lights have started flickering and died. When contacted about warranty LifetimeLED gave an RMA number but want me to ship them back before they ship out a new set, leaving my girlfriend without headlights for the length of shipping both ways.

    Dissapointed with this new Warranty policy.

    New kit received. I'm not sure if these are the right bulbs. They are missing the fan and you can see 2 bare wires inside, a red and black (edit: checked and power is present). Le sigh, time to contact lifetimeledlights again.

    I got my Lifetime LED lights about 4 months and I am starting to wonder if it was worth the $150 invested in them.

    I have to say at least their tech support answers questions quickly. The bulbs have been updated and are correct. Bare power wires question still pending.

    Checked the bare wires and I'm seeing power as measured across them.

    I fixed the wires myself with a little bit of liquid tape.

    The final verdict from my fiancee on LifetimeLEDlights headlights in a Honda Accord is that they suck! It's been a hassle for a year, she doesn't think they are bright enough/throw far enough, and I agree. The replacement set of lights are about the same brightness and throw as the foglights that they accidentally sent first.

    These leds as foglights would be paired with HID headlights.
