Headlights look pretty good Miles. Now if you can only get the electrical gremlins worked out.

Maybe someone could dig up Marie Laveau http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Laveauand have her remove the Voodoo hexes that someone put on that truck.
After all She is reported to be a voodoo priestess.

Miles do you have a before and after beam pattern? I'm seriously considering these for my Expy, i already went with retrofits for the 250 though. Also will they pass inspection? I hate having to change the bulbs before getting my truck inspected every year.

I did the mod where the fog lights will stay on with the high beams and still no issues from the LEDs...

I will try and take some pictures tonight against a wall or something

ACF6 and A/Ox4,

Thanks for your input on these LED replacement/upgrades. This is looking like a direction to go. I like others would like to see the long term results. Looks good so far. I don't know if I want to invest the money in the product yet.

no problem. I love them, i always refused to buy HIDs because of the reliability issues. These are looking great so far but i'm not sure how long they have been out really. But hey, they dont call them lifetime led for nothing..."lifetime warranty" lol

I am wondering how they will hold up on a vehicle with DRL. Do you US guys have DRL or is it only a Canadian model thing?

The question is Who's lifetime?
A Mouse?
A Dodge Truck?
A Chevy Truck?
A Cat?
A Dog?
A Ford Truck?
A Horse?
A Human?
An Elephant?
A Sea Turtle?

All listed in expected average lifetimes.

You can't really tell the power of an LED by looking at it.
Also the stuff from China that is clones tends to have cheaper
parts or missing parts and even some times be soldered with
the wrong solder. Acid core on electronics it a BIG no-no.The
acid causes problems. But they don't care they tend to be gone
by the time the problem shows up. 90 days or so in some cases.
