Looks like you have them aimed so low, to not shine on coming traffic, that you loose all your distance I can see further with my halogen bulbs.

Brand doesn't matter in this case, it's a conceptual problem. The big question I have for you for in this case is simple. Since you thing PnP LEDs are the greatest thing since sliced bread, and put shame to retrofits... why aren't manufacturers using them? It would save a lot of design costs, and would revolutionize the lighting market as we know it. With all that said, why are manufacturers still designing special projectors and housings for both LEDs and HIDs?

To try PnP LEDs at this point is useless for me. I have retros, and to get them... would be a waste of time, money, and a huge downgrade to what I have currently. It's like talking to a brick wall to you. I tell you the facts, and you don't want to hear it. Hey, I wasted money on crappy lights also. No shame in that.

So you have no frame of reference to say mine are crap. The view I show is on factory aimed headlights. It's absolutely perfect for what I need. The retrofits are JOKE with their output. Tried them. - HATED them. Waste of $$ compared to what I have now.

I've been lurking for a few weeks on this thread and now I call BS because a few pages back you couldn't pick a projector from a hole in your a** and now you "have tried them and hated them"

I still have stock halogens and have no bias, though this thread has aimed me to do a retrofit, but I'm gonna call shenanigans when I see them

I'm currently trying out some LEDs (as mentioned a few pages back) and I quite like them, but this whole thread has spiralled down. Retrofits are absolutely the best option available to us. There is no other way around it.

Just to light the fire and to further the debate. I assume there will be one person that loves this setup. I am not satisfied with distance. Cutoff is ok. These are my lifetime led headlights from overland. Hoping to get some oem hids at some point. Lows and highs.
