LED Lighting Conversion

Yea, this is a great deal for sure. The same deal is when I bought my second pair. Thanks for posting it up!!!

 

Anyone have an issue with one side of the Hikaris appearing brighter than the other? I had a friend in front of me and said the light appeared larger as well.

 

I actually heard that once before, I think in this thread but no one confirmed it. They come with a warranty and if you contact them they will send replacements for free.

 

Yea no problem. Looks like they had ten sets at that price before it was gone. You have the older single LED ones in fogs and these new ones in low beam correct? I think i read your review stating that. Hoping for the same nice setup once these get here.

 

Actually, I started with the newer Hikari Philips in the low beams and the Morimoto XB replacement fogs. Then when the Hikari's went on sale I bought another set for the High Beams. I am freaking ecstatic with my results. Snow might be an issue but I have a spray bottle with washer fluid and a short snow brush in the truck in case I have problems.

However, I am working on a permanent, easier solution to that problem.

 

Headlight washer system?

 

Yea! Great minds think alike! I saw how Meso printed out some filler plates for the areas under the headlights. I don't know why they can't include a bump out for a washer nozzle and then a line easily tapped into the fluid lines and run along the fenders to them.

 

I got the new Hikari Luminled bulbs yesterday and put them in last night. Wow. Massive difference in the low beams vs the older cree xh50 bulbs. Nearly same color, much quieter fans, but the biggest absolutely drastic difference is the amount of light thrown where it needs to be most. Down the road and evenly across the middle. I initally bought the auxbeam F16 and returned them the same day dude to how dim they were. The Hikari Cree bulbs I have had in for about 6 months and i was okay with them but never loved them. These new lumiled ones are finally what i was after. Very very happy with them for low beams.

I tried the cree ones down in the fogs and they scatter way too much light. I now have them in the high beams and they seem to be a solid upgrade over stock and match the low beams in color. Very satisfied with the current setup.

 

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing your experience and I am glad this thread was of help to you.

 

I put the Hikari Phillips in both my LB and HB and more than happy with the result. The auxbeams F16 do better in the fogs, but they do throw light everywhere which I like because it fills the areas where LBs don’t reach from left to right, lower to the ground and a little upwards so I no longer drive with them always on as I used to with OEM or my other vehicles.

 

Nice, love a happy ending . Sounds perfect.

 

If I didn't get the Morimotos I was going to do the same thing you did with the fogs. Sounds like you got it dialed in perfectly! Nice! I still feel these LEDs are exceptional in the projector housings.

 

Got my Hikaris Phillips, w/ the help of Rob and Parker. Pair that up with my Rigid Industries Pro Fogs looks amazing! Light matches perfectly and I love it. May raise the headlights a bit, or not. Overall extremely happy. Now on to the next project. thinking Cali Raised ditch lights 2x3 pods for the front.

Nice! Post up a pic of the whole setup when you get the ditch lights on!

 

Has anyone tried in Low beams H11 Profile Peak LED bulbs from The Retrofit Source?
Will be really appreciated to hear your feedback about output and reliability.

 

First time for me hearing this name.

 

@RobP62 went about one full turn on each side ccw. Much better. They blend with the fogs very well also.

 

I concur!

 

Profile Peak LED bulbs are relatively new and they use SCP Y19 LED's.
