Reviews/Led Experts.. LMAO
I have yet to get flashed and the light pattern is as good as stock but much brighter, I did adjust them. Budget has nothing to do with why I bought them.. Tricon had them and I went with his in hand review. He's not trying to sell me anything.

I'm just stating what I have researched so far. In my experience you certainly get what you pay for. We'll see how long they last and if Tricon was so impressed with them, why did he trade them out for the ones Vanquish Auto sells.
I'm not saying they are not working for YOU and I'm certainly not trying to offend you. I have just had a bad experience with some LED's so I'm really skeptical.

No Offence here but the internet reviews are BS to me, First hand from someone who deserved Credibility like Tricon. He never got back about the Vanquish Lights after having trouble with them ( See post 133 ) and CopperCore & k7lvo the same. But Tricon had nothing but good to say about the Auxbeams.. So I tried them and they work great for me also.

we got the fix for Tricon, it's actually getting out tomorrow. We are swapped right now with many custom headlight orders. Not sure what problems the other guys have other than the parking lights flickering ( also have the fix with me byihs we built in canbus. So far our lights are performing great for everyone. Seems the flickering on the lower lights is isolated to certain models since others are not experiencing this.

Mae actually tried cancellers after the initial issue with the flickering. Had to wait quite a while for the cancellers as they are speciallly made for us. Then that didn't do much for tricon. Then I came up with the best solution which will work great but also had to wait on the parts and we had to custom built it since it's not available anywhere. Any more concerns?

The reviews I read on Amazon were very positive and related to the specific product I purchased. So Im confident in Amazon reviews.

All of the lights they tested were H11 style and not the H13's that our truck takes so each style is a little bit different.
Heck, I ordered the GTR Gen 3 LED's that they rave so much about in this video. They were a bust! Like others on this thread, the truck's computer was giving the LED's fits AND the connector would not lock into the factory connector. They were about 5 times what you paid for your Auxbeams. At least you have a light that works but I'm more concerned with the beam pattern than anything.
I think the factory Hologens suck but I'm not going to replace them with something else that sucks. I am probably going to end up waiting to see how Vanquish Auto's retrofit total replacement lights work out.
I'm still torqued that I couldn't piece meal order the factory LED's on my value package XLT.

Vanquish sent me the lights for free for an honest review. I'm still waiting for a harness he's making as the bottom Vanquish LEDs flicker when in DRL mode. Looks like there's not enough voltage for them to be run as drls. So while I wait, I've put the Auxbeams back in. While the Auxbeams aren't as bright and their high beam isn't that good, they are much easier to deal with, put out a great light and cut off, and are really inexpensive. The light output is similar, just a little bit brighter on the VA LEDs.

Vanquish has been good at support, but it's almost a month now and I haven't got them working... But I can't exactly complain since I didn't pay for them.

I tried to go the Vanquish route. They stopped giving 50% off though and I couldn't justify spending over $300 on lights when my factory lights work fine. $100? now that I could justify.

I don't think any LEDs should be much more than $100. For the $80 I spent on the Auxbeams, they are hands down a best buy. They work great as headlights. High beams suck, but I never noticed originally as I tend to use my auxillary LED pods as my high beams.
