They aren't going to be as reliable as an HID conversion or a simple LED bulb replacement. The cooling fans tend to fail early on and the LEDs will fail soon after.

Additionally, these LED headlights haven't been designed in a way that utilizes the housings properly. They don't give nearly as much usable light output as an HID conversion, and aren't 360-directional in most cases.

HIDs will still be brighter and provide more usable light output. Feel free to PM me if you would like more information about these LED low beam kits.
