Have you tried driving with these at night yet? As far as i know LED bulb technology has not advanced enough to provide enough light output to safely light the road ahead (except in a few select OEM applications). Yea they look bright, but the actual light output to the road is crap. I would be interested to see how these ones perform - but I advise you not to take any long trips down back roads till you know.


The vehicles that use LEDs for low beam headlights (like the prius and audi R8) use multiple low beam headlight bulbs to get enough output.
example: Audi R8

The problem with high power LED's is they produce a lot of heat and heat is the number one enemy of LED's. If you look at the Prius headlights, nearly half of the housing is a heat sink. To make a reliable LED headlight work properly it needs to designed specifically for an LED.

The light isn't really bright or focused but it was a cheap alternative compared to what I had I'm gonna use these until I get my 8000k HIDs. Then I will have some nice LED reverse lights

I'm on the phone with Iron Rock Offroad, ordering a double shear track bar! Where's the :giddy like a schoolgirl: icon?
Also asked the owner to add CF to their list of forums on the Resources page. I talked us up real good

Installed a D ring hitch bar for the hitch receivers on both ends of my XJ. Will make pulling and getting pulled a lot easier.Also purchased a strap and a tree saver.

Attempted to fix my NSS but then this happened so I was sidelined

So I got rid of my cruise control instead (didn't work anyways) and I also relocated the vacuum ball from behind the bumper to the cruise location.
