All of the pics and videos look great! Appreciate you guys posting them! One question I have is... Does the brightness of the LEDs ”drown” out the amber turn signal bulbs? It’s hard to really tell in the pics and vids. Can you (oncoming traffic) still clearly see them blinking when your turn signal is applied?

None that I'm aware of. I ordered headlights, fogs and switchback turn sigs for my SD, as well as headlights for my daughter's 2012 Wrangler. Total was nearly $750 before he gave me 10% off...at my urging.

This code should give you 5% off at Headlight Revolution. Better than nothing.

How do these compare to the stock LEDs?


It looks like a lot of scatter to me.

if I was ordering a truck I would order the LED’s. Many of us buy what we can from dealer lots and get as close to the perfect truck as possible.

There probably is a little scatter compared to LED from factory.

These are a night and day difference compared to the original, very yellow halogens. If you are looking to upgrade your halogen factory bulbs then this is one of the best ways to go IMO.

I was able to get everything installed this weekend. I did HR headlights, fogs, switchback turn signals, and license plate lights. The only thing I don’t care for is the fit of the turn signal bulbs into the factory bulb socket. The retention of the led bulb is not near as good as the stock halogen bulb and it made me nervous that it was going to pop out with normal vibrations of driving down the road. A little work with a dremel made it better, but the mold for the base of the GTR lighting bulb definitely needs some work.

and this?? anyone know if they drown out the stock turn signal bulbs? i didn't feel like messing with the whole resistor install and decided to keep them stock.

The light output is much improved over the halogens for sure. I’ve only driven it at night once since the install but first impressions are that it was worth the money. Hopefully other drivers don’t find the light offensive, but it will be hard for me to tell. I say that because on the two lane country roads that I drive on I was constantly flashed by other cars in my 100% stock 2015 F150 with halogen headlights. Not sure why, the Ford dealer said everything was good when I had them look at it. So being flashed by other drivers around where I live doesn’t mean much to me.

As far as the install goes, I removed the grill like in the videos. It is easy enough.

So.. Just received my lights. They look pretty legit! Seems pretty straight forward install! But.. package comes with a small Allen wrench and instructions to remove housing from backside to install! Is this really necessary? Wondering who did it this way?
