I don't have scatter from the 7443 LED's. Also, I never noticed that the aftermarket headlights dont have the bump over the turn signals like the OEM.........wow, how sad. I did zoom on the aftermarket and OEM turn signal reflector and the sides are way different, but the bowl part is pretty close.

I looked at the eBay lights a little closer and it looks like the bowls could interchange if the mounting points were the same. I think the raised bump with the diffused part facing forward over the parking light is causing it. Either way, not blinding and look damn good lol

Not pitch black but I went out to verify the lights didn't need to be re aimed. Cut off and hot spots are in the same spot as the halogens. Lows only.



For the life of me I couldn't get a pic facing the lights, phone camera wasn't having it. I'm impressed with the output and really like the pure white color. Can't wait to see it tomorrow morning on the highway with no other light around.

So those are the SL1 LED bulbs in a halogen housing right? I've thought about getting LED bulbs, but thought they scattered real bad in a halogen housing.

Looks great man!

Yup, the factory lights I pulled apart and painted. No scatter at all. Thank you

I'm sure you will. They are a big improvement in both looks and function.

Hopefully this isn't getting too repetitive but I figured I'd share another pic of the SL1's. Yes......I took a pic while driving I promise that's the last blurry pic I'll take for awhile.
Meeting with my exhaust guy tomorrow, hopefully we can come up with a plan.

Lows and the led fogs:

That looks 1000% better then stock.

Question...How close are these to the fogs you bought from Summers?

With the exception of the yellow strip down the middle in the first few photos they look almost identical. The pic that's shows the L & R stickers looks like the exact same fog light as what I have.

I'm gonna say they are probably the same (both from Hong Kong as well). I remember the ebay photo looking different than the actul housings I received. It was the led inside that differed.
