Yeah the 2011 LEd look brighter than the 12, I had them before, I didn't like 100% bright of the 2011 LED's because I a bit yellower than 12, and it over kill the brightness of the low beam, but 12 Leds are perfect at night to me

Hi just came across this thread and just notice I think Sewell sent me the 2011 headlights instead of the 2012 ones?





Their yellowish

But I do have the eyelash and I believe it has the gloss black finish..

I think just the 6000K fog light you have on it make the rest look yellow?, I have 5000k low and 4300 fog, they are match up better than 6K fog with 4300K low beam

It's way too hard to tell from pictures a lot of the time. Can you post a picture of them without the fog lights on? If it has the gloss black finish they are the newest style headlights I believe.

What temperature colour are your fogs, and what are your headlight HID's? The LED's seem to match the headlights pretty well.

I think I know why they are reflecting yellowish
Because of the DRL lights they are the stock bulbs they reflect to the led
I need to take them to the dealer and get them disable..

Thanks for the help guys

This worries me. I was part of the last group buy sewell was doing, and I have yet to install mine as I'm waiting for the snow to melt before I can bring it to the dealer.

I hope mine are the 2012 ones, I do not the dig 2011 yellow look at all.
