That last pic is LEDs on the right, factory on the left. I already had LED bulbs in my fogs.
Did the opt7 fit in the housing with no problems or did you get housing extensions and mount the canbus box externally?

Unfortunately, Carbon, this thread is kind of old. And, it looks like AClayeJ hasn't posted since February of this year. There are most likely better ones out there now. I went with the Putco Silver Lux, myself. Though, I paid to have them installed.

Yeah i have been reading up on all the leds even the ones that people buy from f150leds or 4x4leds seems like people were having issues with them burning out and now adding these dust cover extensions.. just seeing what a good brand was

I don't know if there are any perfect LED replacement bulbs, as it seems the perfect bulb is OEM. But, pick one that allows you to adjust the the fit. (They are "clockable"). The ones I mentioned do, and, they do not require a fan. They are expensive, however. The best price I've seen, are about $170. The supporter on this site you speak of, has some that are substantially lower in cost, and seem to get good reviews. But, they do require a fan, and are waterproof. I'm not sure how his mount with the boot on the back, unless he supply's custom ones. Mine, dissipate the heat with braided copper like loops. So far, they're fantastic.

We've only had bulbs burn out on the H11 (low beam, 2015+) where customers had the ballast installed in the headlight cavity. We've since made available a "Ballast Relocation Kit" which includes everything needed to install the ballast outside the headlight cavity. We're also providing this (for free) to customers who have already purchased the low beams from us and want to relocate their ballast (and we include automatically with any RMA the ballast relocation kit so folks can fix their issue perm.)

We actually provide this for less then cost

Extension Harness: $6.99
Silicone: $3.89
Rubber Boots: $15 (we sell these in all sizes on our site)

So in total it's $25.88 if you bought everything and we charge less then that... we just want our customers to have all the tools necessary to have a long lasting product.

I've always gone out of my way (as most know) to help out folks, even our Canadian friends, where it costs us about $20 to ship a pair of boots/silicone/extension harness... we're sending the kits up there at no charge to our Canadian friends who have issues as well...

I have LED's in my wife's Honda Pilot high beams and my Sentra's fog lights. I love them. Much better way to go than PnP HID. I might pick up a set for the low beams for the Pilot and my turbo Beetle.

What kind of lights are you looking for fruitcake? What kind of truck do you have?

For LED Headlight Conversion kits we sell a lot of our own XHP50 Series lights.

If you want new headlights Anzo makes some decent headlights as well. A lot of folks replace the bulbs Anzo provides with LED or HID bulbs.

If your truck has projection lights and you want to swap out the factory bulbs because they are bad, then Diode Dynamics and Morimotos are popular. As far the Philips brand.

Default LED headlight bulbs

I just got high and low beam bulbs from eBay(lighturway) and they just work fine on my truck. Great output and beam pattern and reasonable price. And it also comes with extension dust covers which make the cooling fan fit properly. Simply plug&play. Hopefully, they last long

Bravo
