Just installed Opt7 LEDs in projectors and fogs.

But other people have said that they don't have a blue tint... Mine are coming in today. I was hoping they had a 5000k as well, but we will see...

 

Mine aren't blue. Pics I've seen are much bluer than in person...

 

They look pretty white to me.

 

Fitting in that compact spot huh? Haha

 

I made it work!

 

Just installed mine. Took longer to open the box I feel. I work in the lighting industry and have to deal with LED and color temperature with customers on daily basis. I don't care what anyone else tell you, it's white.

 

Good to hear. I'm excited to install mine this evening after work.

 

It has a slight bluish tint. I'm comparing it to my Lexus. Some of these guys probably never had a car with HID's or LED's before so it's "fine" to them.

 

'06 Chrysler 300 SRT8 - HID
'06 Matrix - custom Morimoto HID
'09 Cadillac Escalade ESV - HID
'13 Toyota Avalon - HID

These are white.

 

these are white. But worst comes to worst you can return them if you are not happy with them and just go buy some Lexus headlights to get the best possible white on the market.

 

My wife's 2015 Highlander use H11 bulbs also in her projector. I want to get these for her. Her lights seem so dim. I want these!

Got mine installed (lows/fogs) last night. Did anyone else have an issue with getting the harness to plug into the factory harness? I'm talking super tight fit and a lot of frustration getting them to go in, but worked out in the end.

 

Sold my 2008 Acura TL Type S for this TRD DCSB 4x4 Sport. That had very good factory HIDs which I really loved. These are NOT as bright as those were, but I do find a noticeable improvement over the factory halogen h11s which I found mediocre at best. I know ~5000K tends to be "true white" but despite the pictures, the light cast on the road from these bulbs @6000K is white. I'm enjoying mine so far.

 

I had the same issue - push harder, you won't break them. They actually fit very well - you'll hear a solid "click" when you've got it right.
I had that connection flipped 180 which went in pretty loose (had me worried). Flip them and push them all the way in

 

These looks awesome! Thanks for the info OP. I like the fact that you don't have to worry or deal with the Ballast like on the HID kits.

I'll be ordering a set today and maybe see how they look with Theretrofitsource's LED Yellow Fogs.

Anybody try any other brands? Or are these best and bright ones?

 

Unfortunately for me, the honeymoon phase is over. I will be returning my OPT7 bulbs (I only have the low beams)

I simply don not believe they are as bright as the stock halogens. To be fair, I believe the projector housing is engineered for halogen bulbs in mind, so the beam is nice and equal. With the LEDs, it seems the beams are spread out further, but less concentration on straight ahead.

I'm in no way knocking the brand or the technology--they were very well built and install was a snap. Literally. They just don't work for me.

As for color temp. I work it the graphics industry and have a 20K spectroradiometer--if I could measure the color beam I would, but I would say that the color output is not 6000k, probably closer to 6500-7000 Kelvin.

 

Maybe I just get some Sylvania Ultra Whites.
