I am 99% sure that the low beams on this aftermarket headlights is an H1 bulb.

Black set ordered from Xtreme - coming direct from supplier so should be with me in a couple of weeks.

Hopefully a quick change with no fast flashing! and pics will follow.

These are going to look either fantastic or not (no in between)

Fingers crossed!

Any other members that could post pictures of these headlights?

Are these just a simple plug and play?

Yes - plug n play.

I hear they are getting shipped this week - long wait but hopefully worth it. Not sure on the bulb combo as my existing lights appear to have 3 H7 bulbs. I'm thinking of getting some Osram Off Road bulbs, but will probably wait until the units arrive.

Jeff said he would check with the Manufacturer.

Have some 3rd brake light smoked LED's on order so will then have rear, front and brake lights LED's. Will be interesting whether or not I'll need resistors. Will keep you posted with some pics in the next month.

Almost here Geetee - they have arrived in Brisbane - just got to clear customs.

Should have them next week and installed next weekend - will post some pics for all to see.

You dont know how close I was ditching these as the production issues were just going on and on!

Jeff at Extreme did his best, but I guess trying to keep open communication with China is not easy to do.

I also guess the Manufacturer wanted to make sure the smoked product was okay as I believe a fair bit of tweaking was done on the production line.

Anyway, we'll see at first hand whether or not they were worth it.

No middle road with these lights - Either the business or cheap and nasty - hoping for the former!!!
