I like playing the trolling devil's advocate...

I have led h7s for low and high beam.

No, they are not perfect.

No, they are not legal.

Yes, LEDs are FAR better than what they were several years ago.

Yes, there is still absolute junk being sold but also some relatively decent products

Yes, I STRONGLY prefer them to the oem incandescent bulbs (which were so God awful that I couldn't see **************** without my fog lights on)

I've been running then for 2 years now, acuma (high beam) and Firehawk (low beam). No overheating, no flickering, no dimming. Once aligned properly, they illuminate beautifully (this is crucial though because there are defects in the light fields created by these bulbs). CRI is not as good as incandescent, I will fully admit that, but I care far more about detecting moving objects(i.e. DEER) than I do about color differentiation (yes, I know the two properties are linked intrinsically with visual processing, but they are not inherently dependent on one another. Ask any person who is color blind).

Would I do it again? Absolutely. Hell, I still have my stock bulbs but I wouldn't even put them in my kids hot wheels.

I'm not debating, I'm just saying...
