Default LED headlight bulbs???

Couldn't get any in cab pics because my phone died, but will tomorrow night. Believe me, these are bright as hell! These are just on dim.

Let me make sure I understand what you are saying. You have replaced the OEM incandescent bulbs in a standard OEM headlight housing with LED bulbs in the same housing with no regard to having to focus the new bright lights?

This sounds a lot like the same issue some had installing HID lights in OEM housings. That was a terrible idea without the proper modifications to the housings.

If you are getting flashed there is a good reason. Perhaps it is because they are just not aimed properly. If it is because the housings are not built for leds you are just wasting your money and irritating everyone around you. Hopefully that is not the case though.

WORSE, because trucks sit higher so more in line of most car drivers eye level.

Finally got some pics. Been using them for a few days now and haven't had any other cars flash me. They light up the road a lot better than stock and have a very nice spread, not focused at all. Haven't noticed any dead spots either.

Not really, they're plug and play and come with two different adapters. The hardest part is installing them under the fender.

The Opt-7 also comes with a 2yr warranty. Well worth the money IMO. I spent a few days reading reviews for LED bulbs. You can find a few video reviews on YouTube too, just do a search for opt7. Amazon actually sells them and its where I bought them and found a ton of reviews for this brand. Amazon has them for the same price as other places. $99 for a pair, you need two pair for hi and lo.

Default LED headlight bulbs???

Since we're on the subject of LEDs, has anyone installed these yet:

They look pretty easy to install, I just didn't know about the quality of them.
