I think i might try these just in a lightning housing.
Any opinions?
These may work well with the projectors as they are not just two sided (top LB and bottom HB)?

I have clear corners with led switchbacks that I'm putting in all at the same time, but I'm going to post a side by side comparison

I plan on smoking them a bit too, so I hope it doesn't end up glaring too much

Default Leds

So how do the LED bulbs do? I have been researching them for weeks to replace mine. I already replaced the housing (check my other post). They have multisided leds now so should be a lot better. I got some small sylvania leds at advance auto other day. I had a coupon card and they gave me a $5 mail in rebate for them. I replaced all the lights in my kids TAOTAO jeep 125 with led. It had chinese A/C bulbs, The new lights i would say are 150% brighter now. If sylvania is working on headlights bulbs they should come out great.

They have red LED "ZEVOs" for your taillights are amazing to.

I'm thinking your kids toy jeep vs a mass produced pickup trucks headlights might be a bad comparison. Him shining the play ground is a little different than cruising 70 down the interstate in terms of light output needs.

I bet he/she has the sweetest ride around. Throw a light bar on that bad boy too.

Point was the sylvania leds ARE for trucks or cars. I just used theme in this and I was impressed. They are built well. I will be adding them to my F150 soon as well. Just looking for the best 9007 LEDs.
For those complaining of the focal length and scatter they now have adjustable focal length leds you can change to fit any housing.
