    Still doing great no problems! I went on some longer night drives running these LEDs for several hours without any overheating issues. The weather has cooled down significantly since summer, but I am very happy with these so far. No perceived loss of output.

    I run the 2 strokes for High beams, as a replacement for the XBs that I had. Very Bright, very white. happy with them so far. I may consider replacing the HID in my lows, for another set of these...

    When I get my truck back from the repair shop... again.... 3rd time the engine has failed....

    I will see if I can do a side by side comparison. I have the TRS Moriomoto 35w 5500K HIDs and the 2 strokes. I also still have my XB LEDs, albeit one of the drivers has a toasted wire.

    I did a trip to Pismo beach, and the Projector Fogs, 2 Stroke High beams were a must cruising the beach... I actually got flashed by assholes running their LED bars because my highs were too bright.... Running Just fogs and my HID Lows weren't as desirable given the beach was tore up pretty good and there was a high surf warning. I can confirm that the 2 strokes do not bounce at all in the high beams... (not detectable at least) however my HIDs in the stock 16 projector housing bounced like a SOB. I've learned to just try and ignore the HID bounce, however if the 2strokes output in the projectors are as decent as it seems to be, I might just switch to full LED. LEDs are more stable, and less power draw IMO.

    I'm running the 2 Strokes in the low beam and they don't bounce and provide light comparable to 35w HID. My Wife has a 2013 CX5 with the fancy AFS HID, these are on the same output level as hers and no warm up time which is a bonus.

    I installed the 2 stroke LED yesterday as well as XB LED Fogs, I like the light output so far over stock, but need to take out where there is no streetlights to fully review. The XB Fogs look great, but I will definitely need to adjust the aim as they are very low, love the color and the crisp cutoff. Attached are some crappy pics I took...

    I just put my halogen's back in. I think that the LED has nowhere close to the throw. Are you guys experiencing the same issues?

    What did you take out? I want to upgrade to LED but I keep reading about issues with them, especially that their range is limited. I don't want HID. I hate halogen.

    The throw and light spread is better on the 2 Stroke than it is with the stock Halogen. I wouldn't run a higher output Halogen unless you like replacing bulbs on a regular basis and the higher output bulbs are expensive. Truth be told, your best bet would be a proper retrofit with RX projectors and 35W HID in a BiXenon configuration or wait for the Morimoto D2S LED replacements for a retro. Otherwise you're kind of stuck and it might be worth getting some Baja Designs Squadron sports in wide cornering combo or Rigid fog lights to supplement the factory headlights until that day comes.

    Clean install. Very interested to see either comparison shots or even night/dawn shots of light output. How pleased are you with the product and output pattern? I do a good amount of operating off the beaten path, and in FL you never know if you'll turn a corner and find water. I feel LED is a much better option. Thank you in advance sir!
