Got around to swaping my 4 year old HID's for some beautiful LED's [emoji7] Not gonna lie, I was more excited about not having to wait for my headlights to warm up than anything else

Nice! How does the output and beam pattern compare between the two?
With HID's the light was kinda everywhere but it was very bright. With these LED's the light is very focused, and very bright in a few areas but does not spread as far as my HID's did. I'm going to adjust them a little more tomorrow and will post a picture of the light pattern

The crappy thing is that I can't roll the windows down for 3-5 days, which means that the car is going to sit through Christmas.

As promised, here is what LED's look like through a non projector housing lol. They can get washed out easy while driving through #lit areas, but with no other light around, they're insanely bright. I took pictures from 2 different angles, one at my eye level and the other higher up so y'all could see the cut off. This is after I aimed them down as well.

Thunk from the trunk. Investigating. Methinks adjustable end links not quite right or sway needs more grease on those new bushings.

...and yes, I have a wheel chocked...

Adjusting the endlinks sucks. Just saying. Don't forget...if you've lowered your car, you probably want a shorter end link out front.
