Don't blame you all for waiting for reviews! By our records we are shipping to over 100 F150 owners right now so I'm sure there will be plenty soon.

That doesn't even look remotely close to pretty much any of the pics posted in the Anzo Headlight thread with led bulbs. That pic looks like you have the bulb either not seated in housing correctly or have the diodes facing in the wrong direction. I am not trying to dispute bulb brands, shapes, sizes, etc...and that a lot of them have garbage output (in any housing) but that picture is very misleading.

Now back on topic - I am very curious to see how SL1's look & hold up over time. Most people will love them initially, but the real test will be how many of them are trouble free over the long term. The 3 year warranty is great, but we all know how big of a pain it is the change out bulbs in these trucks ....even if you go through the wheel well. Hopefully over time it is proven that DD has a good product here, and we will all have another great option for led bulbs!

For those worried about the fan failing in these like it would in some of the cheap sets that use a ball bearing fan, the fans in these basically have a lifespan in the type of environment that destroys fans of longer than you will keep your truck. They said it's using maglev fans, so i guess sunon maglev, which basically do not fail at all.

Not going to lie, kind of have FOMO over these lights. To bad I have the anzos and morimoto HIDs. Caught myself looking up the SE blacked out halogen headlights the other day.

Here's a video I found on Y-T, it shows how to get to the bulbs.

Although the Owners Manual shows ya how to do it, this guy does a great job of explaining.

Not to go off topic, but does anybody know if it is possible to add Plank DRL's into Halogen housing. No a fan of Projectors or HID's like anzo or spyder.

I received and installed the SL-1 highs and lows, along with the SL-F fogs last night. These lights are the real deal. They seem solid and very well made, the pictures don't do them justice. I will post some night views soon. Don't let these pictures fool you, the light is pure white. I apologize for the dirty truck, it's been snowing like crazy here and I was too excited to install these bad boys haha.

Looks good. Con't wait to see the night pics. Hopefully they will make them in H7's to fit the Anzo's otherwise I guess I am going to be looking at special edition headlights.
