Just installed Opt7 LEDs in projectors and fogs.

I got these installed last night and I got to use them for the first time on the road today, since it was raining out. I parked in front of a glass building and I noticed something up with the headlights. It almost has a "snake eye" effect? Im assuming this is due to the the way the bulb is made. Is anyone else getting this? Any way to fix this?

The only way to capture it on camera was to dim it down.

 

not surprising. your camera is metering for the bright light and it drops the exposure enough that you are able to see the light output from each led on each side of the bulb individually. since the bulbs have an LED on each side and install is set so they are on the right and left this is 100% normal to see from the camera where it exposes so you can see it that way. the human eye wouldnt be able to see this normally

 

oh, yeah I intentionally dimmed it down so I could capture what I can see with my eyes. Ive been going back a few pages to see others and I can see theirs is doing the "snake eye" effect as well. I guess its inevitable.

 

Is the coverage as good as the oem bulbs ?

 

Hello tasnowma,

If you want to reach out to me personally I can see what I can do. =) pr@opt-7.com

 

Hello Sawick,

My name is Brooke, and I am a Customer Service Reviews manager here at OPT7. So sorry to hear about the bulb. We do offer a generous warranty on all of our products. It would be my pleasure to assist you with getting a replacement part. I will just need to get your order information. Kindly contact me directly at pr@opt-7.com

 

OPT7,
After checking the connections, I found it had gotten some moisture and created some corrosion. A little cleaning and sealing, works like new again.

 

Sub'd

 

Also, I haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone had any issues with mud/ muddy water getting in and clogging up the fan on the fog lights?

 

I'm really wanting to go with the same setup as yours, but only reason im on the fence is I don't want to blind incoming traffic, but from what it sounds like they don't seem to do that as much as many bright leds I've seen on the road.
Think you got me sold OP!

 

Excellent post...Gave me a good feeling about buying lights for Besty......thanks...great pix

 

Why cree in fog lights, why not the fluxbeam?

 

Yes low beams and fogs with the sleeve on. Sorry about the late reply!

 

Prime jacks up price...it is really the shipping price.......but and they say free shipping...Look ait regular pricing then prime and you will see

 

@Pinche_tacos they look good! I've been looking at those for a while and waiting for someone on here to post something about them! How's the coverage and pattern? Do you mind posting night pics?? Waiting to pull the trigger on them.

 

does the last cabal plug into the factory harness? and where do the black and red pins go?

 

Yes the "correct" cable would plug into the factory harness. The one pictured is incorrect cable.

 

Yes, they are plug and play. Don't order the fog kit and you don't have to worry about where the pins go. Just order the regular headlight kit (H11) for the fogs, highs & lows. They are all the same size.

 

I don't have any night pics currently but I can tell you now to go order them and you won't regret. Especially with the yellow fogs, it lights the road up amazing! And road signs and anything reflective is way more visible with the fogs on! I'll get some pics ronigh

 

@Pinche_tacos awesome man! I will place my order and look forward to some night shots!
