Josh's are from oracle lighting and have not failed me so far in 3 months with probably 6.000 miles on them 9007 in an 02 the highs don't appear bright but my opinion is that is caused by the las being just plain bright... Stock vs led

dam that is bright and a noticeable difference! So these are oracle LEDs from Josh huh? Might have to check into that (Josh, if you're reading this, send me a PM with a price on some H1, H7 and Factory fog lights for a 2012 SD)....thanks.

Not too mention less glare for oncoming drivers

I also refuse to run lighting that blinds oncoming drivers. If I'm constantly getting flashed, there is something that needs to be addressed. I was all set on HID projectors, till hearing from people that had stock projectors. The sharp cutoff leaves you in the dark at times in hilly driving. We have hardly any flat land here, so it is a bit of concern to me. That said, I've never personally tried projectors, so it's only hearsay I guess. But the guy I was talking to has a newer f150 with the factory projectors and I trust his judgement. Just something to consider.

I've personally been running our lights for a year and they are flawless. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market! Shoot me a PM if interested.

He's talking about the Lifetime LEDs. They sound like they are pretty good but they are about $400+ for my application with these ANZO lights I have (needs 2 bulbs for the headlights...high and low...and then the foglights). I'm exploring other options before I pull the trigger on anything.

Did you ever hear back from Anzo about bulb fitment?

Yes, they confirmed it is an H1 and an H7 bulb. Then for the foglights, I'm not sure if I want to just keep my factory fogs or if I want to go with those Rigid Q's that Josh has. I'm sure they're expensive so it'll scare me into keeping the OEM ones....idk.

Tom@BigTimeKustomz · Nov 21, 2014

Ok glad they confirmed that for you. The prices are there, let me know when you're ready.

Will do... Thanks again

Blinding others is why reflectors are not good with HID lights it seems everyone has HID lights in the reflector housings around here, which in my opinion is a waste of a lot of the light. Never had or seen LED's in the housings so cant comment on those. If it like the light bars they are bright.
I have a Caddy with factory projectors and it is different. Sharp cutoffs on the light. I like both reflectors and projectors for different reasons.

I run silverstar ultra in the headlights and regular silverstar in the fogs. I get flashed every so often from on coming cars so that tells me they are bright enough haha

Ive ran and resold alot of Innovited 55w kits off amazon without a problem!!! Ive dealt with prob 30 kits personally... I run 55w 6k bi-xenon in headlights and 35w 5k in foglights so they look even. I learned the key to HIDS in our trucks is the wiring harness!! They arent reliable without the.

Same here.

What are the wiring harness for

tbsimmons · Dec 3, 2014

So you run a relay to power the ballasts and use the stock wiring to be just the switch.
Didnt help mine though.

Sounds like the LEDs are flawless..... Except for the fact the high beams dont change the light pattern or the light out out. I'm on the fence about what to get. Leaning towards regular HIDs. I'd be really interested in a retro fit for the better output if it could be made to look somewhat factory in my Harley style headlights. I'd have to see them first, I love them on some trucks, others not so much.
