I do agree that the LED lights were horrible. However, the HID bulbs in the stock housing seems to throw out a very good coverage of light. I would not do the HID high beam either. I went with the GTRLighting kit because it comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their HID stuff. It was more expensive, but I figured the warranty would be useful down the road so I didn't have to purchase them again. Again, it is personal preference...it's your car, do what you want with it.

In the instructions of the kit, they tell you to drill a hole into the dust cover so the bulb will fit in without letting any dust or water get in. Worked out great.

I agree that the LED ones were junk which is why I sent them back. The HID replacement that I got were very nice and are working great. I think they were about $200 when I got them at the time. Not too bad which includes a lifetime warranty.

I got these: https://gtrlighting.com/gtr-lighting-35w-canbus-pro-single-beam-hid-conversion-kit-3rd-generation/ 5000k H7 Kit.

I got HID replacements from GTRLighting.com and what a difference. These are really nice and super bright. Much better output than the LED ones. If anyone wants a pic just let me know.

I went ahead and emailed the company and asked if the hot spotting issue was a normal thing. They had gotten back to me and said that not all LED bulbs work well with projector headlights and that HID would be the better alternative. So they are doing an exchange for me, I am going to send back the LED and get a set of HIDs instead. Once I get those installed, I will let you know and provide photos. So just as a FYI, LED bulbs aren't designed to work on our cars....at least the GTR Lighting brand.

Here are some quick shots I took while driving some back roads around 50 MPH. The last is down a street with street lights overhead. I think it is much better than the factory headlamps.

Sorry I haven't posted an update. I will snap some pics while I am driving tomorrow night. It's rained a lot here lately so it wouldn't give an accurate output.

https://gtrlighting.com/gtr-lighting-gen-3-ultra-series-led-headlight-bulbs-h7/ This is what I bought. They have other versions, but are a little cheaper.

I didn't have to disable the DRL. I will have to get another pic tonight without the fogs on. The DRLs are bright enough to drive at night with, when turning on the headlights they get a little brighter.
-
Here are some pictures of my LED headlights from GTR Lighting. I think they are a nice output. I only did low beams for now.

Yes....when you put your high beams on, it will turn off the fogs. that is normal. -
Headlight clearing (w/pics)
ryanlucas13 replied to Rexmobbin's topic in Walkthroughs :: Performance Modifications
I am thinking about doing this soon, but I have one question. I have the "eyelids" already attached to the light. Do you think that I could bake them and keep the eyelids on there.?? Or should I remove them and do it?? Not a big deal, just need to know if I need to buy more double sided tape.
