Notice any power gains?

Same lights.
These all just plug into the stock housing, right? I'm looking for something brighter, especially during deer season, as I drive country roads to and from the high school I coach at.

Yea. They all just go right into the stock housing. They all run off the stock wiring. They all include a ballast to smooth the current so the LED can consume it more readily and not strobe. They all pull less amps and produce more lumens than stock halogen/incandescent bulbs.

Hmmmmmmmmm..... As long as I don't have to buy new wheel or ABS sensors I may have to do this sooner rather than later. $50 won't put too much stress on our house fund. We also may be buying a New house soon. And I have seen that the fogs need some sort of resistor?

Yea, so here's the deal with our generation. It uses current sensing to trigger the H13 into high or low beams. The problem is that the low beams combined with the fogs triggers the line to think the high beams should be active. Low beams by themselves, work fine, but as soon as you turn on the fogs, the highs kick on.

So you can either bambi mod it so it doesn't matter OR you can wire inline resistors into the fogs.

It's now supposed to rain here pretty good overnight Friday and half a day Saturday. My trenching may be delayed a week.

I want ahead and ordered me a set of LED headlights

I still don't have tunes yet for no O2 sensors and no EGR, but I definitely notice some more low end power. I'm pretty happy with them
