So with those LED lights, I would NOT need to upgrade the factory lighting harness to run off the battery?

I don't have a projector setup. Get your facts straight.
I'll believe it when someone does testing on those kits to prove other wise.

Talyn, were you just mistaken for Urban_Yan?

Maybe. If so, given the speaker, I'm not too concerned.

Bros! Chill out! Don't let this turn into another worthless thread filled with useless bashing. The housings won't be here for a while, so if someone wants to do some legit testing with a good camera and some measurements, ill gladly throw the bulbs- err, chips rather, in a first class mail package.

X2:thumbup: Keep it positive and factual. A bunch of us that want LED's but can't afford Trucklites are watching this!
I'm digging this thread and depending on real world results, all 4 of my XJ's and my MJ will get these and I still won't have much more money in all 5 vehicles that I would if I only did Trucklites in two of them.

LOL, you're right! My bad, Talyn. But my point remains.
Argue with the data sheet?
I've got some on the way. I don't have a lumen-o-meter, but I have an SLR and know how to use it. So at least I can get some apples to apples comparison pics.

The set I ordered arrived. Crap right out of the box. A lot dimmer than the halogen H4s. I'm counting it on being a bad manufacturer as no way in hell is that any where near spec. After those are returned and I get my money back I'll be getting another set. Maybe two to compare, the one with the 1520s and one with the 1512s in 4000k.

From an email I received from Daniel Stern today (I've been talking with him about upgrading my '99 headlights): "[FONT="]These LED lamps are not all the same; most of them are junk -- there's a new one about to be released soon that is going to stomp all over what's come before; recommend waiting til that one's available."
Just some food for thought.

I wonder if he is talking about something like this one: http://www.lifetimeledlights.com/H49003-LED-headlights-_p_59.html

He said he'd supply me with a link to the new LEDs when he gets it. Guess we'll find out.
I have Vision-X dual/dual 10W 20* beam LED for offroad lights on my winch bumper.

They are scortchers but I haven't really had a chance to run them in the boonies where it's really dark. If the new LED Daniel is talking about "stomp all over" these I will be impressed for sure. Cost will be interesting for sure.

I look forward to these mystery bulbs hitting the market. Be interested to see the output numbers.

If that one truly puts out what they claim then it looks like a really good buy.

x2, especially if Daniel Stern okays them.
You can get them cheaper on Alibaba if you want to go that route.

It's funny how some people develop personal legend. In rock climbing, you have Fred Beckey. In film, John Wayne. Music? Hank Williams. In automotive lighting, Daniel Stern has become the guru - he seldom chimes in personally, but we all talk about him & what he says to be true as the final arbiter.
Funny how that happens, is all.

LOL.. I have never seen him post anywhere, but he knows his shit and is quite anal when it comes to any kind of drop in bulb replacement over the specific halogen bulb.

True. Consider though, does anyone really need a $400 set of headlights? I am getting along fine with my Autopals and Putco for now. I know they aren't the top of the line. There are connoisseurs who love a fine wine and others who can enjoy a cold brew. Both get the job done.

it looks like the entire unit is one big heat sink, and the fans are there to keep it cool so they don't have to be as big.

One guy on the other forum had to open up some pretty big holes for that fan to fit through.
