Curious about this kit. Does anyone have them installed on a 6.2 Truck, and regularly tow a decent load? Any issues?

I had issues with multiple sets of Auxbeams overheating and flickering on and off when towing my boat (8000ish lbs). Loved the look, but refuse to compromise safety and took them out. They are still sitting on my workbench...

As you might imagine I'm hesitant to purchase yet another set...

if you get the hid canbus kit you won't have any issues at all and it's a big upgrade from any "all in one" led kit and also over the true led headlight kit we offer. We just shipped a few sets and the customers are members here and they will be posting their findings soon. These have no issues on low beams, high beams, Drls, flickering etc.

Can't remember who took my order over the phone, but by the time I had run the total up over $700, he knocked 10% off.

So is the $298 headlight upgrade kit all we need from Headlight Revolution? I'm thinking about throwing in the Morimoto fogs and some misc. bulbs.

That’s great they did that for you. Post up some pics here. Would love to see your truck with all those lighting upgrades and hear what you bought.

That’s all you need for the headlights. I bought the $139 supernova fog light option. I get those bulbs tomorrow and can probably post up some pics and share some thoughts tomorrow night. Should be an easy plug and play option.

I think it’s 5%. Not a ton but better than nothing.

Tried LED headlights and fogs from vanquish the fogs are awesome had a lot of problems with headlights and when they were working correctly the low beams were good but the high beams were not any better and I believe worse than stock as far as light directly in front of truck installed HIDS after talking to them and WOW the difference is unbelievable still have some final adjustments to make but I really believe these still have it all over LEDS not been flashed by anyone yet the install is a bit tight on passenger side with the ballasts and relay but well worth it I really don’t think the LED bulbs are ready for prime time yet after having them in previous 2011 and this 2017 and now seeing these HIDS just my two cents

The OEM LED's are surly ready for prime-time!.... they rock!. I agree on the aftermarket ones as being not ready however, as their diodes are too far out on the stem, making them "wash" or flood too much.

Off note a bit....

You Sir, might of just won the run-on sentence of the year award! JS'

I love my LED's. They don't wash out or flood and have very good lines. The stock yellow bulbs are almost useless in comparison.

I'm getting the V3 fogs delivered today. I did buy some cheap LED fogs off Amazon and they suffered from major flooding to the point they were useless. I could see how they would be a safety issue for oncoming drivers.

Excited about getting these new fogs installed today and will try to post pics and a review asap.

I’m looking forward to seeing your pics and reading your review.

I installed my HR headlights and fogs tonight, and have included some terrible pics below. The first is after installing driver side, the second is after driver side fog was installed.

I went ahead and removed grill and headlight assembly, at least on the driver side. Super fast and easy...until I got to that 4th screw down by the bumper. I barely had enough room to force in a 1/4" drive 10mm socket, nowhere near as easy as the guy in the video shows. Even less room on the passenger side and I was never able to get the socket seated. I did what RedRocker recommended in the first place and took the air intake out. Swapping out that side was easy after having just done the other. One mistake I made was that the red factory gasket/o-ring on the upper lamp stayed behind. You're working blind, so no way to tell. Made it impossible to twist the replacement in until I finally discovered it.

Hey Guys. I received the Supernova V3 LED fogs which match my Supernova V3 LED headlights. I took a few pictures for you but also captured a video to give you a better feel for what this set up can do for those with the stock incandescent bulbs.

I am highly satisfied with this set up. I needed a truck quickly and I had a hard time finding a Lariat Ultimate with a front bench AND factory LED's. I found one with all the features I wanted except the LED's. So my quest began to upgrade the headlight situation since the yellow incandescent bulbs are rather lacking, in my opinion, in light output and quality.

What I am probably most impressed with is how evenly the light is filled in between where the headlights hit the ground and the front bumper. Our headlights are pretty high up the ground and there is quite a bit of space to fill in. The Supernova's handle the job perfectly. Hope this helps others looking to upgrade their lighting situation.

Here is the video I made to give you a even better feel for what this set up is all about.
