As anyone used these? Are they any good?!

I did, I got the ones that said diamond white and wasn't impressed, they looked about the same as the stock headlights. I took them out for hid's.

You put hid in your stock reflectors?

Hid run cooler than stock right?

Yes hid's run cooler. But no, mine are in projectors. I thought that maybe the Recon bulbs would be better than the cheap ones that came with the projectors. I think they are a waste of money. The Silverstars in my wife's car are better than the Recon bulbs.

I wanted something brighter than the Silverstars so I went with hid's.

Wow i rly like them! You know how much you paid?

I was going to go with the recon ones but heard they are crap!...

You replaced the fog lights to? How come?

Next decision to Make are hid manufacture to go with! Theres so many and its hard to not find a Chinese knock off.

Any recommendations?

Also can you take a pic of the beam light against the wall and direct at the headlights at night?

The Recons headlight assemblies are fine. The bulbs they sell on their website are not. Mine are the Chrome clear ccfl Spyders.

He here is a picture of mine, excuse the dirty truck...
The high beams aren't blue, that's just the angle of the picture...
