Definitely looks nicer...didn't notice any flickering and now the High beam lights match rest of the lights.
did you leave the cap off the back of headlight housing, cause thats the only way anything will fit besides the halogens. show us pics of the back please.

No I was actually able to put the cap back on....I will try to get pictures but what I did was put in one piece of the light kit at a time and the adapter box sits in the headlight "well", and wiring falling in the cavity below. After that I was able to spread the filament and close the cap.

Thanks

Our LED bulbs use 100% Copper (Cu) flexible weave cloth heat-sink which makes them perfect for smaller areas like for vehicles with dust covers.

Nice solution Danny, any problem with bunching up the flexible cloth heat-sink that may cause over heating?

Ok, back to the LED High Beam topic....... What is the latest and greatest on LED's for the High beams for my 2012 GX? One of the ones I bought last year has already died so I need a new set. Any ideas?

Thanks

You are and I can totally appreciate that as that's your area of expertise! So, what is your recommendation for my 2012 High beams? What's the brightest option? If I recall correctly the ones that I bought were brighter by spec than what you offered? Educate me please, you convinced me on the Phillips HID lows and I'm happy with them so convince me again.

Hi,

Does your vehicle use the high beam bulb as a DRL (daytime running light)?
