Light beam is similar of halogen bulbs, just more intensified. On the CT200h I installed, my friend noticed the beam was wider and reached farther out front so it's definetily an improvement.

People have used SMD type LED's or even CREE LED's in fog light applications that while that remains true that they will never be as bright as headlights, these 22w LED bulbs do not fall under that catagory.

I haven't tested them in the high beam/drl mode yet, because I haven't reecived any 9005 sizes, but I will get those soon

The shipment is already on the way and as long as it clears customs on time, I should have it by Saturday. All that have ordered through the website will receive an email with tracking confirmation as soon as it ships out.

I'd definitely be interested to see how well these might work as DRL's. If they do work well then I'll be buying both for DRL and for headlights. Thanks!

As soon as I get the 9005 kits, i'll test them out on my car.

I just got mine in today and did the quick install. The bulbs do light up immediately and throws a nice color. Once it gets dark I can see if the output is improved.

One thing I did notice was the exposed circuits and wiring where the connectors are. Will there be any ill effect with weather, rain, etc? Also, the chip that is connected on the harness doesn't seem to hold extremely tight, I'm just worried that, I don't think it will, vibrate off with time.

I took the time to heatshrink the connectors from the bulb to the chip just to make sure it wont come off.

UPDATE:

So, took sometime to drive it at night and I have to say, i'm not impressed. The "throw" of the light is not as far as HID's and it is not as bright as HID's either. I think it is due to the diode only throwing light from one side making only half of the reflective housing in your headlight be used.

For the money, I say HID's are a better buy and will probably last the life of your car anyway.

***Also, I do not like the OP ignoring my question ^^^ about the exposed circuits.

So, still no answer to my question....

At this point I am pretty dissatisfied with your product, are you offering customers on this forum a return policy or exchange to actual HID's?

Ditto here....the output / reach on the pictures posted at the beginning of the thread a no where near what is actually coming out. I felt like I was driving blindly with these on. I would rather have purchased the HID kit.

There were no modifications to any the vehicles I posted other than the LED headlight kits, no aiming or adjustments at all, and all images were captured with an iPhone 4S

Would you mind taking some pictures and posting them to show me how they differ from the ones I posted?
