wow.. and again, no thanks. I wouldn't even use them if they were free.
I'll stick with my 30 dollar auxbeam/beamtech lights. Used them on several vehicles now and they work great. Sure, it's not the light output that these should output but the crappy service combined with crappy product just isn't it. They can't even make a decent harness ???? Stay away I say.

So apparently they can't be replaced if they go out past the 5 years. I think I'm gonna wait until someone else drops the big bucks and see how they will last.
Arrg, will definitely make me re-think about grabbing them. Dropping ~$1,300.00 sort goes against everything I've done to the truck to prolong it's longevity and reduce problem costs. I did upgrade to 45W LEDs - https://www.xenonpro.com/h13-9008-du...headlights-kit in 2016. In January of this year I had one go. Fortunately it's just a bulb and driver so replacing it was reasonable. Guess I'll be sticking with them.
For the Fog Lights I also went with just bulbs, bought CREE 80W bulbs sold by Botlink -
. My fog's are brighter than my low beams. They have been solid since 2016.
Both the headlights and fogs are 6,000K so they match. They are "blue" in appearance. Unfortunately Xeonpro only makes 3,000K, 6,000K, 8,000K and 12,000K. Would like a 5,000K or maybve slightly less blue at 5,500K.
For the back woods I went with 2 30" DJI Light Bars -
and mounted them behind the grates on the grille. Unless you know they are there or they are on you really have to look hard to to know they are there. I've had them since 2017 and wanted to let folks know that cleaning them isn't an issue. I can get my index finger with a microfiber towel wrapped around it through the grates.
I really like the ] look for the blinkers and parking lights on the 2017 - 2019's and the Morimoto's. But I guess I'm just going to have to drool when I see at 17+ go by.

Thanks for the links.
Better to drool rather than to spend $1300 and get aggravated over the quality lacking in a 1300 dollar product. Besides, my truck still needs those G34s, the oil catch can kit and the Air Dog...probably for about the same amount.

Welcome to the forum kid. We're looking for someone here who has bought them and their experiences with same.
Thanks Dad.
I know people were interested in the actual price point as well. MSRP was 1350 and now that they have been released for aprox 2-4 weeks I believe im interested to see a real time review on them as well.

I don't care if they are freakin lasers, no amount of light is worth 1150 to me.

You're welcome, son. The info in your post was already covered 4 posts before yours, a month earlier. See post #35.

I dunno, lasers would be handy for foolish drivers (subjectively identified, of course, ) on the road.

You're welcome. They've been out since the end of August. We all know the price which in my eyes is way too much for something that hasn't been proven yet as reliable. Yes, they look cool but I'd rather buy the Hammmerhead rear bumper so that next time some @sss hat rear ends me, it'll be their front end instead. But I guess I just think like the Dad I am.

Reason: Mods edit
Came across this install video (not sure who has seen it or not) also showing the dfiference between stock beams and these. Pretty interesting but im still not droppin that much cash for a set of headlamps... Hopefully they come down in a price in the future ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
