Good job on the comparo pics! I'll order the xenons for now and see if i'll be happy with them.

Hey on your xenon-Led pic, did you notice any changing of color of the xenon bulb compared to when you have both xenon bulbs on?

I just ordered these: ($6.48 shipped)

not really, again. I think the LED just really outshined the xenon in that pic. Let me know how that bulb turns out

Got mine over the weekend and installed them. IMO, the xenon bulbs still look yellow to my liking. Maybe i got used to the LEDs. Although they are whiter than stock, i still kept them for the mean time. For $6.48 a pair, i can't complain.

Gene, how about testing those OEM leds from knightcom's thread?

hey gene awsome write up! IMHO i have gone through every possible setup even trinitys and i end up with problems, error codes, and the ebay ones which are the same people on the link you posted lasted me less then a month till they went out. That's why i sat down and designed a solution for OEM LEDs which is the best route and only route for top of the line brightness, quality and abosultely no error codes (of course with the proper harness). I sent out a few to LCIs and they told me they worked awsome! I had to stop the sale because they take so much time to built and the cost of the materials is very high for the price i was offering, i didnt think i was going to have so many members interested. As soon as i am done shipping out the last ones who is interested in a Group Buy?
