New OPT7 H11 LED Headlight Bulbs


Recommended Posts

its all personal preference and you wont really know what you like until you start experimenting

I have hid in my low beam factory projectors. 1,000 times better than halogen. LED's in my high beam reflectors. The LED's are crazy bright up close. I'm just not real happy with the throw down the road. Been thinking about putting HID's in my high beams since I live in a rural town so I'm not worried about blinding anyone out in the country where I live and use my high beams and I'm not worried about the warm up time either because once they are on they usually stay on until I get home or get to town.

Sound like me lol. I've ran HIDS in all 6 of my trucks that I've had in the last 7 years. That's one of the first things I do. Halogen = shit and LED's are nice for color but don't light up the road like HIDS. Case dismissed lol

I agree that it all comes down to person preference. If you are going off roading or live in the country where there's low light then HID is great. I live in a highly populated area in CA so HIDs make me that dick on the road who's blinding oncoming traffic with every big bump in the freeway. As I stated in the original post, it was more important for me to have a solid replacement from the yellow color of stock and something that would last while and look clean and white. LEDs do that :)

If that's the case, deff go LED's. Idc if I'm that "Dick on the road" I can see at night lol. The LED's for my areas were shit.

So I installed the lights yesterday and tested them last night. I've read a few complaints about the opt7 hid kit but I don't understand why. Im impressed and the light output feels/looks to me like its double what the OEM bulb puts out. I'm extremely happy with the kit and the best $95 I've spent to date for the truck. I personally would recommend the 35w 5000k HID kit opt7 offers.

Can you provide a pic of the results? I have a Sierra as well and am seriously considering this upgrade for the price and increased headlight output.

I currently own these- https://www.amazon.c...0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I love them. Here is a link with before and after pictures

 

But I am thinking of switching to these because I think they are pretty bad ass, and love that they allow you to have a reliable demon eye.

This below is actually what they looked like while i was driving. There wasnt much throw down the road or off to the sides.

 

My lights look like this at night.

As i mentioned before it appears projectors have better output than reflectors but not every one with projectors liked it. Best of luck though i switched back to halogen

Can you please let me know what kit you used? I'll be honest I'm more confused now before starting to read these threads..lol

Dont go by this pic, my camera on my phone auto adjust the lighting so it appears theyre bright/white like this but actually werent.

 

Look at smoothbassman pic i quoted above this is what it looked like for me as well.

 

The ones i bought are here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VNBDWPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483333815&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=opt+7+led+headlight+bulbs&dpPl=1&dpID=51E4gZS9lYL&ref=plSrch

 

 

Honestly if anyone is interested in testing these out i can sell you my set. Nothing wrong with them, i just wasnt happy with it after some time. They both were fully functioning 100% no issues and will ship with all the original stuff, just let me know.

I'm going to just leave well enough alone. If you're not happy I have a feeling I won't be either. Thank you for your quick response.
