    I'd have to go back through my emails to figure that out.

    Clearly my truck is at fault.

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    I bought a set of H4 ETI "2S" LED lights from dhgate for about $60 about 2 months ago, and they have been great (so far).
    [​IMG]

    I like that they are "fanless" so I hope that will prevent premature failure as the Lifetimes have been experiencing. They are surprisingly VERY bright and the High beams actually throw pretty far/wide beam compared to the lows.

    I will try to upload a video and/or pics sometime soon.

    You should probably send your truck to the Crusher and get a new one since it isn't compatible with LED headlights! :) :)

    mini antenna... I'm getting to it! Sheesh!
    Well, my wife just texted me saying the headlights were starting to flicker badly... I bought and installed mine April of 2014, so less than a year and a half and they are dying. About the same as a set of silverstars. For $150 I expected better, and if I have to ship these things back on my dime for warranty replacement, screw it. I'll just go back to something else.

    Not. Happy.

    Yup. My fog lights are flickering now. Only a matter of time for the headlights I'm guess. I'll be going to retrofits as soon as I have the cash.

    Tried a set and they literally lasted 30mins. Sent them back to Amazon. LED aftermarket tech is just not there yet.

    That sucks....I love the look of the led headlights but with the imminent problems the always seem to have, I'll just stick to stock. I'm glad I didn't try em

    my only complaint with these is that they kill my FM reception with the noise generated with the fan on the back of them.

    Had I known about the reception I more than likely wouldn't have even tried them.....I like my tunes!! On top of that, I had 1 bulb go bad within a year.

    The funny thing is that when one of my fog lights died the tiny bit of AM interference I had died too. Not to sure what happened there lol.

    I never had FM reception issues.

    Report back in 12-18 months. All four of mine were great after 1 year. A few offroad trips and mine are starting to fail one by one.

    I bought mine because rearview and everyone raves about them.... Now when they fail I'll just go back to halogen bulbs until rigid industries makes a solid headlight.

    Looking good! Got a set also, so far so good! I'm hoping they last. Time will tell I guess.

    I have the Morimoto fog lights, those burn out too?

    After the Lifetime bulbs went out I really missed them. They were great for 10 months but not worth the money and hassle. I got the OPT7 off Amazon (basically for free since I had so many points) and hoped that a year would have made some advances. Nope... Installed them turned them on and they were unbelievably bright which was great. Took them out that night and within 30 mins the passenger side went out. I'm done with LED's.

    I wish Rigid would make a headlight for our trucks. That is one that I would consider in a heartbeat.

    Got the Rigid Cubes (and the Rigid 20" Bar) in my bumper and they are awesome
