I couldn't do some very good comparison photos because of the light in the garage but you'll see the comparison of color and I'll take some night shots later.

Here are some stock photos.

The packaging itself is pretty awesome. These were on backorder for a few weeks while Albert from AutomotionLED waited for them to pass customs. The box is nice. The packaging is nice. Hopefully the product is just as nice.

Each side comes in three pieces: the bulb, the harness, and some black rectangle that I will call the resistor (because I don't really know what it is.) The pieces all just plug in together. The connection from the actual bulb to the harness looks a bit gentle so you might want to wrap that with tape or shrink wrap.

This is all three pieces put together.

This is how it looks like on the drivers side. The silver rectangle has some 3m tape provided and I stuck it on right where you see it. The resistor I fastened with a everyone's favorite plastic securing apparatus. The rest of the harness I placed under the headlight out of sight.

Here's a couple comparison pics of the two.

For those wondering, my turn signals are amber LEDs from DDM tuning. They look nice in these pictures but IMO they're a little too red for me. I have some 5000k switchbacks coming from vleds but they're on backorder too.

The passenger side is a little more cramped. You might want to remove the fusebox to work in there.

Here is with both LED bulbs in. It is a very pure white as AutomationLED advertises as a 4300k. I wouldn't have it any other way for headlight bulbs. The actual output I have yet to see tonight and I will post more pictures.

Shipping: Shipping was prompt and left San Francisco on Thursday and made it to San Diego on Monday. Albert gave me the tracking info via USPS. Seems not to have been banged up and even if it was, this packaging is amazing.

Quality: this is my first time seeing any LED of this size. The actual bulb led part is huge. However it looks very precise unlike cheaper LED companies I've seen. I'd be interested to see how these last in the long haul.

Price: It's $120 for these LED bulbs or $150 for HIDs from TRS. I picked these LED bulbs because I didn't want to deal with the mess of the ballasts. Make it $350 if you want to do a proper retrofit. I think these bulbs are worth it.

Service: I ordered while the website said still in stock and I got an email next day from Albert about them being a huge hit and put on backorder. It took a little under two weeks to get them. Albert was expecting them earlier but they got stuck in customs but he kept all his customer's informed on their whereabouts. As soon as he received them, he shipped and sent the tracking info. He is very prompt with his thread and runs a very nice small business. Pleasure to deal with.

Overall: Let's see how these look at night first. The service, shipping, and install has all been great and I hope the night pics follow through!
