for cheaper than that you can get an hid kit from ddm tuning that is more proven. the problem with led headlights is that they give you the color but not the higher light output. Hid's have always seemed brighter to me. I love Led's, but not for headlight purposes. The good led kits are really expensive and the cheap ones are a little weak. http://ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-HI...ast-35W-or-55W
this is the kit I would use and have used on my 2015 fusion, 2010 Tundra and 2001 tacoma. I have had zero issues with these kits, a lot of people gripe about them being chinese made, but most are. At least ddm is upfront about it. the only thing I have ever had go bad with the kit is the ballast, but that was partially my fault. I didn't wire the hid harness relay into the system and the factory systems don't have enough juice to start up the Hid's initially. So if you want to order them I'd recommend going for a 35watt 5k bulb I think our size is h13 and and you'll need the hi/lo option. You'll also need the hid harness single relay. the relay helps when starting up the Hid's and will help the life span of everything. I'm an electrician and do the wiring on all my own kits. DDM tuning is a solid product and I will continue using them. just food for thought.

ive had HID kits before and they are very nice however the light output on most 35w kits are roughly around 6000 lumens these are supposedly 9000 lumens and ofcourse the led would last longer.
ive been going back and forth which direction i want to go so figured i would check to see if anyone has tried these out.

Don't Do It
Perhaps this thread is NOT about utilizing non projector housings. If not then you are making a big mistake.
Look at the pic of the foglight with the HID in it. It is glaring even in the daylight.
With all of the discussion that has occurred about this subject here I can only come to one conclusion; anyone choosing to move ahead with this does not give a damn about other drivers around them. You need to understand that this is really dangerous on two lane roads and a real annoyance on any other road.
Do the research and buy the right conversion, not the cheap dangerous one. If you cannot afford it then wait and save up.
I cannot tell you how many people I have flashed with those obnoxious glaring headlights that either have no clue what they are doing to those around them or don't care. Don't be one of these two. This is a great resource for doing it the right way. You will be happier in the long run and not annoyed by people like me blinding you with 50 watt high beams.
Sorry for the rant.

from what ive read the headlights on the 2015 still put out a good cutoff even without the projector so it does not blind on coming traffic. I would gladly buy a proper retrofit if they were not ridiculously over priced, i would never spend $1300+ for that.
on another note im fine with someone trying to blind me as i have a light bar and can play those games...
