Best to just stick halogen

It's seems people dont like to listen around here. No matter how much anyone is warned that hids and leds don't work well in a housing made forms halogen bulb, they still go out and spend money on them and blind other drivers just because they want cool looking light.
Good luck with the led headlights.
Apparently this poster didn't see the other thread going on about the same exact thing.

Two threads down. Was going on during your conversation yesterday.

Also, side note, I found it kind of funny that "f150leds" has their comments disabled on their YouTube videos. Guess they don't want anyone spreading the truth on there.

But many will say it's great, because now their headlights look cool and blue.
Read the posts in the thread I linked and reread the replies you've recieved here. Take it for what you will. If you ask for advice and then just go buy a product that everyone is telling you won't work correctly, then we can't help you.
As it's been stated, many of us have wasted money on LEDs and learned the hard way. I have replaced every bulb in my truck to led, and I've gone through so many to find the current ones that will kind of work with the housings. Sure, I'd love to have the headlights match, but it's not worth losing output, blinding other drivers, dealing with flickering, etc just for the look. Plus, there's a lot more to the headlight housing / optics than there is with say a taillight housing.
I've spent a lot on LEDs. Every bulb including the instrument cluster are LEDs on my truck. If there was an led headlight that outperformed the halogen bulb, trust me, myself, along with a lot of these other guys would have them in our trucks, and we'd be telling you to buy them.

No, I'm sure it's because some people know better than to be putting those bulbs in a halogen housing and they don't want any truth exposed on their videos.

Probably because the lights leak. I originally bought a set from them, got water in my lights... here's the video:

And I really found it amusing they had their comments disabled. Like they don't want any customers sharing their issues. That was a red flag for me.
I am looking forward to your comparison shots by the way. Not to try to prove you wrong, but I'm very curious.
