Just installed Opt7 LEDs in projectors and fogs.

Dang TRD PROOoooOoOo

 

Just an update, drove an hour or so tonight, very pleased with the Opt7 lighting. Same coverage as the oem lights but so much brighter. They make the headlights on cars that I pass look yellow and dim. Never got flashed once, lows and fogs. I think I will be upgrading the highs with the same.

 

This is good to know. I am waiting on my set.... should be here in a few days. I wonder how they compare to the 2stroke LED kit? https://www.theretrofitsource.com/a...Toyota+Tacoma&preselect=&preselect_restrict=1

 

I don't know about the coverage, but I think if they cover more of an area than the Opt7, you might get flashed. I know the Opt7 can be purchased on Ebay for $80 delivered with a 2 year warranty. I had purchased a set of led lights from them and had no problem at all returning them. Those were $30 fogs and weren't bright enough for my liking.

 

I have been running the OPT7 H4's in factory housings now for about 2 years with 0 issues. 7,000 lumen 3500 each and they come with a 2 year warranty. 6000K Good White light no real Blue tint at all. I had Silvania Halogens in place of the factory bulbs. No comparison. The OPT7's blow them away. My wife's new Lexus with HID's doesn't even come close either.

 

LED's came in today. Excited to try them out tonight.

 

Well, after a quick jot around the block, I have to say so far...

I am a little disappointed. Granted, its still slightly light out and there are a fair amount of street lights, but as others have noted, the throw seems to be very weak. I am going to go out for another drive in about an hour when the sun fully drops and try to find darker streets... to be continued...

 

Go find a road with no lights, I didn't like mine at first but after driving with them a few times my opinion changed.

 

Went to a near by mountain road to do a little testing. I do LOVE the color of the light vs stock. I also like how it seems like there is a slightly wider angle of light.... ??? (hope that makes sense)

I rode with one stock light and one LED in and the stock halogen did appear to have a slight edge on throw distance.

I also put one LED and one stock halogen to compare the fog lights. The LED has a significant advantage in the way it throws the light at an angle. (draw a light straight out from the A pillar from the perspective of the driver or passenger.... that area of the road) As far as the glare the oncoming traffic would experience, it does appear to be more noticeable, but not overly scattered. (I did not have the fog lights on with the LED in while on the road, only when I got to the mountain road did I turn them on)

The fans are loud and can be heard when the engine is off inside. Also they can be heard outside the truck with the engine on.


For now I think I will give them a chance. However, I am looking hard into the 2stroke

 

Ordered my opt-7 like 2 days ago and they just arrived. I'll install them later on today and hopefully I'm pleased with the results this evening !

 

@Bajaxr201 did you get them from Amazon or eBay

 

@Bajaxr201 i just ordered some Mictuning leds coming in tomorrow and gonna try them out. If they're not to my liking I'm gonna get some Opt7

 

I got them through Ebay and since I'm located in San Diego and they are apparently also located in California I got them in like 2 days!
Total was $86 for the pair after tax and shipping. I was super stoked so I like them I'm ordering Fogs as well. @Leo4x2

 

@Bajaxr201 oh sweet that's cool man, shipping to me is probably gonna take a couple days then lol Texas here. Well nice man post a couple shots of them, be good to see them on the taco!

 

Aright, hit the car wash and then installed my OPT 7 low beams.
It's still daylight outside but here's a few pics.


Before:


After the install along with my ditch lights and led bar





Loving them right now, as soon as it's dark I'll post some more pics.

 

It's amazing how the opt7 lights make the oem look so yellow.

 

Oh sweet man they look good! I'm about to pull the trigger on a light bar and some ditch lights as well! Can't wait to see the night shots!

 

Alright, Here are the before and after photos in the same spot.
Top is last night with stock headlights.
Bottom are 10 min ago with the OPT 7



I drove around town and I'm super happy with these lights. Definitely much clearer and just a nice color!
No doubt that the people who weren't pleased and returned them are probably old haha bien 22 is nice

 

Sweet man! Looks good!

 

Hey Baja, I like them, I have them and I'm 52. Damn kids.
