Look down the page abit, I'm sure most the LED set ups are the same, minor upgrade but nowhere near proper HID lights with projectors.

I have and they are brighter than hell, which I'm fine with. My issue with them is getting them to line up correctly.

I have them installed on my truck and I am about to take them off.

They put off a lot of light but it is throwing my tire pressure light when the lights come on. They also make my fm radio fuzzy when they are on. I'm not sure why. I have contacted them several times trying to figure out what I need to do to fix it but I keep getting 1 sentence answers and I am tired of dealing with it. They did send me a piece that should fix it but didn't give instructions on how or where to install it. All they said is put it in the power line to the headlights.

I'm sure they are a great company but I'm not a wiring master. I am done trying to beat this dead horse. It would be really nice if they had a customer service number to try and trouble shoot.

I'm just going to have s local shop install some nice lights on my truck.

Kind of hard to explain, but i'll try. the 'bulb' has 2 leds on it that point in opposite directions, so the light they emit will bounce off of the inside and outside of actual headlight and they're offset, too. My problem is that I can't get both lights to bounce of the same side. I've got one headlight that bounces off the inside and the other bounces of the outside. Nothing major, but kind of annoying.


They do have a FAQ section that addresses this issue, but I haven't had success fixing the lights.

I was on another forum unrelated to F150 where people were complaining about cheap HID lights that are not adjusted properly. They throw a ton of light, but if not aimed properly they just blast oncoming traffic. I would rather get a lightbar I can turn on or off, rather than the cheaper priced HID lights. But that is just me.
