They all dim when your truck restarts. Some have complained that certain LEDs flicker or go out completely while the truck restarts. My LEDs just slightly dim.

There is an amazing ammount of info on this thread. Thank you to all.

That said, i have a 15 XLT and unsure what the hell yall have been talking about LOL. CANBUS seems that some have it and others do not. Outside of looking, can the year tell me what i do or do not need?

Also, why are some of you guys in love with a $30 pair while others are in love with the $100. Whats the main difference? Seems the dimming could be one issue, what are the others?

I followed my sister home the other night, she has a 2018 benz coupe and i was overly impressed with her headlights and how clear they made everything look. she made a left turn and suddenly i realized i had been using her dang lights to drive.. behind her! stock is yellow, sucks in the rain and i want to change. i just dont know which to get.

seems these are the best bang for the buck? seems these are the best bang for the buck?
-- Size 9005 HB3??

but for a couple bucks more i get the box with the bulbs that coverts the hallogen to proper LED?

OK, I went through about 40 pages and still haven't found what ones are good LED's to match the Sinoparcel low beams. Not quite sold on buying the high beams yet, but after getting my factory fogs replaced due to cracking, I'm ready to go LED and reduce the heat load in there.

I would definitely skip the first set, since they advertise them with "3D SURROUND STEREO COOLING SYSTEM".

Sinoparcel makes other sizes, the look to be the same as Supernova bulbs. If I remember the Supernova high beam 9005's also fit in the fog reflector on my 2017, just a higher wattage between specified high and fog bulbs. KM

Would someone with the knowledge please post the latest version links on amazon for our bulbs?

Also, why would we want to replace the halogen bulb with a better halogen vs the led with that box.. is that the power converter?

That first bulb you listed (Techmax) is actually a pretty good bulb. Among several others on here, I actually run the Sinoparcel version of that bulb (they call it the mini) and it's supposedly brighter than the older Sinoparcel version with the braided heatsink (Supernova V.3).
