    Hope this helps. The only got slightly worried about the passenger projector, it fit totally fine but having little girl hands helps a lot haha.
    Remember I haven't done the high beams or used the H9 bulbs yet so I can't comment on those. Good luck!

    Looks great! I'll be making the leap in the next few weeks when I muster up the courage to drop $300! Keep us posted on how well they do or if you have any issues.

    This is all great info and looks promising. I'll be looking forward to some more results from all the folks who just ordered. I mainly don't want to blind oncoming traffic.

    Are the fogs easy to change out?

    I agree. That's why I probably won't run the fogs to often unless it's really late at night. They seem brighter being in a reflective housing. We'll see how it goes.

    As easy as changing out the projector bulbs, just a bit harder to reach. I did everything from above with the hood open and I'm a shorter dude.

    Thanks, I tried using search to see how it was done, but didn't really find anything.

    I did this same mod today. Used these lights in the lows and the OPT7 CREE H11s for the fogs.

    Is anyone running these in a stock housing not projector? Wondering how led is in a stock housing compared to like an hid in a shock halogen housing witch sucks and throws light every where.

    Supposedly these OPT7's also fit into the high beam H9 slot, anyone want to put one in the high beam reflector and see what kind of pattern they get?

    Headlights were very easy to install. I don't know if the lights go into the housing a certain way and directions didn't specify. I installed both lights with the wire down. It's easy to reposition them if necessary.

    The headlights look amazing though. As close to a perfect match to the DRLs as I hope for.

    Haven't been out on the road yet so I can't comment on performance until tomorrow morning.

    I bought the Opt7 CREE LED H11 fog lights for the fogs because of price. I believe they were $35 on Amazon. They look just as amazing as the head lights though I know the output isn't as high.

    So far so good. I'll report on actual performance after my early morning commute tomorrow.

    That was my thought too. Figured they'd be too bright and wanted to save a little $$$ (Something I really need to do after joining this site)

    Worth a shot checking out those fogs. Get some pics up if you can. I ran the fogs again tonight and haven't gotten flashed yet so it might be okay. Personally, i'd like everything to match 6000k and all be part of the same line of bulbs, but that's just me.
