led low beams installed

Installed the led low beams and it's a huge difference!

That looks great. Where did you buy them, how much, and how did you install them?

Thank you, they were off amazon, there are better ones out now but I'm happy with them, didnt work right off the bat kept turning off, installed resistors and that didn't work, then did led decoders and that did the trick all is good now. Install went good pretty much like installing hids

I just bought the 55w HID 5000k low beams and haven't installed them yet. Maybe I should have waited for the LEDs.

Hi Guys,

can't imagine that this can work anyhow. Understand you have two very bright lamps when looking into them - if that was the idea - then hey. But a reflector of a headlamp is a result of quite some engineering and it is designed to reflect the light from a very small hot spot in the center of the bulb and - not from a heap of single SMD sources scattered around a finger thick cylinder. This must end up with a spotty light/dark area in front of your car and any oncoming driver approaching you may spit... LEDs work for a lot of applications but surely not for headlamps as aftermarekt replacement

Did this vehicle have Daytime Running Lights with the headlamps or with the factory LED strip? Was this an LTZ model?

Yes, LED conversions have come a long way. Most use the CREE LEDS that utilize your stock reflector or projector to spread the huge amount of light they produce.

Are those Xenon Bulbs? May I know what brand it is? I am planning to replace mine.
