    Regardless of all else, glad to see a fellow small business owner getting his piece. I hope you do well!

    Honestly, I have never seen them in projectors. I know a few customers have ordered them for their projector headlights, but I have not received any feedback from them (positive or negative).
    The only other bulb type I am currently working on is H7, which should be released within a couple weeks. What kind of bulb are you looking for?

    OK here are some pics of my truck with the led headlights i linked to earlier in this thread. My phone camera isn't great but hopefully you'll get the idea.

    From inside the truck i took pics at approx 30' then 60' or so from a wall of a nearby hardware store. Low beam and high beam with no other lights or fogs on.

    The biggest con are brights aren't much brighter than low beams. Everyone I have spoken with says the same. BUT they do light up the road nice and I especially like the way signs and road lines glow under the lights when driving. Very cool. Hope this helps guys. I have been running these lights for awhile and had no problems whatso ever. They are plug and play and super easy to install

    It's not the size that matters - so I've read. It's more about the company gambling on the quality. If they offered 90 days, or even one year, I'd never consider the purchase knowing LEDs have lives that will out live my days. My concern is more of the fans, which I'm sure they have (at least most do). 2 years on a mechanical fan tells me the vendor is confident, thus so am I.

    Make sense?

    That's disappointing, but expected seeing this is still a new use for LEDs. Where I live, I need highbeams to be highbeams, not just a little better than lows. Guess I'll sit out another year and watch for positive improvements.

    Just got the BA Led's today. Nice looking package and we'll see how they work in the next few days. I have appt. tomorrow but will start the install on Wed. Taking pics on the way out in the a.m. (dark) so will try to get good shots with just the stock system showing the cut-off line, etc. H4's (H/L) on the left and H11's (Fog) on the right.

    Just to clarify, the lights shown in the truck above aren't the ones from BA. If you look at his link, they go to a different site. So, I will be doing the BA Led's only and posting pictures and my findings for them. I will find out what "k" range these are and post my findings.
