    I can say without a doubt, these things are crazy bright. Also bought adapters so I'm running quad high beams, and I couldn't be happier. The throw and beam pattern in these are really great.

    I don’t drive my truck everyday so I’ve been really slow to finish the install. Currently trying to track down why my low beams aren’t functioning. I’m thinking I popped a fuse installing the driver with the polarity flipped. At least I hope so... Everything is hooked up correctly.

    That's probably exactly what it is. I did the same thing. It popped low and high, so check both if you're having issues with either.

    I about shit bricks when I couldn't get my lights to come on. Had lows, but no highs, then didn't have either. Lol

    It was a cheap fix though, just replaced all the fuses and good as new.

    love all of this except the blacked out high beam spot. Have you thought about adding a dedicated led high beam projector?

    I've considered a quad-fit but it's not practical for me. Perhaps at a later date but for now I'm already 3 months into the project.

    For what little I use my high-beams I think the M LED's high beam function is way more than enough. If it's not I have a low-pro light bar in my roof rack fairing that can be controlled by the high beam stalk. I've got a switch installed that enables/disables that function.

    I'll say this, because I've also completed the retrofit but retained the factory high beams. The Bi-LED high beams are amazing compared to what the stock ones are capable of.

    I've got some LED H11s in the high beam location and it puts out a good amount of light, but the Bi-LED is just incredible for comparative output.
