New Headlight H7 replacements LED
Thought I'd share some pics, it was really simple, and inexpensive. I'm very happy with the results.
Matches my Philips DRL color much much better.

Forgot to mention, these are H7 LED lights.

That's pretty bright for LED, how are they compare to the stock halogen? I'm interested too...

I seriously had these in and working in about 15 minutes, both sides, including the time to take the headlights out and back in. Less time, scratching from them darn mosquitos!

They are only 100 bucks, what can I lose, I thought.

My headlights were already off, so I can really say for sure that they make a huge difference, but definitely a difference. I was trying to adjust them yesterday after a quick drive to check them out. I think I need the halogens back in first to adjust them properly.

eBay
H7 RSI LED Headlight Conversion Kit 6000K 1900 Lumens 2X Brighter Than Halogen | eBay

I don't work for this company, nor do I know anyone there.

I was just looking for an inexpensive way, without having to go Litronic, to match my DRL.

Hmm only $100, I wonder how these compare to a regular HID kit.

They aren't HID/Litronic, but they are a cheaper route.

Is that a motorized cooling fan that I'm seeing on the 5th picture of the eBay listing? If it is then I would wonder the reliability of the kit. I know aftermarket HID kit is less than $100.

Yes, it has a little fan, the H7 LED casing is like a huge heat sink, and the fan is on the end. I think I liked the fact that the LED uses less voltage, but a 100 dollar HID kit, hmmm. Maybe I should have done more research? Oh well, next time...
