Message: [QUOTE="strokin'_tatsch, post: 951817, member: 7"] My LEDs didn't work out as well as everyone else's seems to. I've been talking to Mark about it and it seems that they just aren't going to work right in an '03 housing. If anyone else puts them in an '03 housing with success, I'd be interested to see any differences between yours and mine. Mark has been very helpful with this, so major props to him and he has offered to buy them back from me. This post has absolutely nothing negative to say about Mark. He has handled this situation beautifully. On to the problem. The low beams are AWESOME. No doubt about that. The LED low beams rock. The problem is that the high beams do absolutely nothing that would result in more light output farther down the road than the low beams. You cannot see any better on high beam than you can on low beam. The end result is that you can see farther down the road with halogens. What I found was that the high beam LED (the bottom bulb) was only putting light right in front of the bumper and reflecting off the bottom of the housing and shining straight up in front of the truck. You can see up in the trees not even 5 ft in front of the truck while driving down the road. I think the bulb needs to be covered by the shroud in the housing more than it is. I put in some Sylvania ZXEs and can see way better than both the setups in the pics below. I wish I could make the LEDs work, but its just not happening. Without a high beam, I don't want them. I do 95% of my driving at night, so I want all the usable light I can get.
