no, but if you just want to swap bulbs, get gp thunders on ebay for hardly like 20-30 bucks....or if you want really bright lights, go the HID route like me. My sig has a daytime photo, obviously much brighter even at night.

but wasn't your HID kit a custom job done by a shop local to you? Or was the HID you purchased from a vendor and the kit is just plug and play?

I'll have a plug and play going soon. Yes...I promise you guys this week, I will do more testing. I just want to make sure it works flawlessly before shooting them out. And dont get the LED angel eyes for LCI, they all suck. They are over $120 and not bright enuf

Yes the LEDS are terrible. I bought them and actually sent them back to a vendor because they claimed it was "brighter than stock"....so I took before/after pics and showed the difference. Needless to say they returned my money.

Those are not going to be bright. Dont get me wrong, LEDs are bright but it doesnt push out the lumens needed for distance. LEDs light beam spreads all over the place. In a short distance, it's bright. Carrying light over the fiber optic ring is a little tough.
