Any leads on a US set? Doesn't look like the set you posted will ship to US.

I cant lie, I miss having LED low beams, I have them in my 2012 civic.

How do the Sulver-lux compare to the XHP50's you had from F150 LEDs (I know unfortunately you had issues with them but performance wise I'm asking)?

I ordered them last night
I will keep you guys posted
I had issues with those from the vendor.
Their customer service was awesome but I settled on halogens
until now...

Sounds good, thanks. Interested to hear what you think of them and how they compare to the XHP50's.

Do you think the housing would get that hot if you had the heat sink and drivers inside the dust cap?

I'm not gonna take the headlights out again, they're fine, and I think these LED's are going to stay in because I'm very happy with them. If I get my hands on a similar set with warmer color, I might swap them out. Where did you get the Lamin-X from?



I'll do a quick search on Amazon.com. You should be able to find a set that looks the same with a different brand on it. Like most things, they're all made overseas and branded by different companies.

I don't like giving bad advice, or advice that I'm unsure of, so I won't say yes to having the heat strips inside the housing...


But, looking at the pics in my first post, they stick out too far to fold back inside unless you get a larger cap. The strips never got too hot to hold, and I imagine halogen bulbs get much hotter, but halogen bulbs also don't touch the plastics behind the reflector so I can't say for sure what would happen.


I will say that the bulb itself where the LED chips are, do not produce much heat at all. When I had some condensation inside (like mentioned in my OP) I had to run the lights on with the highbeams to warm up the assembly. I touched the lens in front of the highbeams and it was pretty warm, but the lens where the lowbeam LED was, was still icy cold. That's why I ran the highbeams to get the condensation out.

Blackboost, got the lamin-x professionally installed by tint factory. They got different films and do good work. I was actually thinking of doing the morimoto fogs as well to match headlights

I agree...Was driving in the fog earlier this week, it didn't have enough of an effect on my ability to see but it would be brighter W/O the Amber I went with...I like the way it looks on the vehicle-->
