Soon! I got the PRO and dropped in some LED bulbs. They were crazy tight but I got the dust covers on. We'll see how they look come Friday.

What LED's did you go with? If you have a link to them that would be AWESOME!!

Strangely enough they are no longer on Amazon lol.

I ordered the Aukee H7 90w 16,000 lumen LEDs.
If anything be a little careful with that bulb. I say this because after 6,000k for color temp rain ans snow can be an issue for visibility

Yeah I was hoping for a 5500k, but no dice. If I end up liking them I'll bite the bullet on Morimoto 2 strokes. I didn't want the Luxx because I'm not a fan of the startup animation or the fact the LEDs aren't replaceable.

You know you could just go with a nice set of PIAA headlights in those!! They do cost but they are very nice!!

Success!

Did the install this morning. Not terrible, took us about 2 hours with a few breaks.

The PROs look fantastic and don't have the startup animation. They just have a sequential flash of the amber turn signal and then the DRLs stay white.

My LEDs went in easy, and the cut off looks great. Once it gets dark, I'll fine tune my aiming.

Just a note that the DRLs stay white no matter what version you buy. They only change to the sequential turn signal as needed.

Not with the unlock/startup animation. They go white and do the filling and emptying animation. With these, the "animation" is a quick amber signal then go white.

Yes, but that's on or off, it's not a color change. I'm aware of the startup sequence, having the LUXX installed myself, but for others reading it should be clear that the DRLs do not change colors. There's on, off, and amber sequential in the lower bar.

The light output on these is phenomenal. Cutoff is incredibly clean and everything functions as it should.

First up is the old halogen setup only. Unfortunately it's not a real apples to apples comparison as it's much darker tonight than when I did the halogen picture.

Now tonight, with the DRL strips only.

So I know you bought the LED drop ins but please do me and everyone else a favor and do the same thing with the halogen bulbs in the projector housings!!

I ask this because I dont believe anyone has seen this and it could be valuable data in my opinion

Unfortunately that will be a no go lol. They're way too hard to swap in and out easily. It would probably take me less time to pull the valence again than try to swap them with the headlights installed.

I have the LUXX series and I can tell you they are NICE!! Now I understand how most on here think that a bulb that cant be replaced is a bad thing but think about how there are plenty of LED lights that cant be replaced if they go out? Just food for thought.
