Recon Projector OLED Headlights

Is anyone using the Recon OLED headlights? I have some HIDs now that are blinding people.

Thanks!

No, they are aftermarket but the beam pattern is great. Not blinding and visibility with them is awesome.

. Beamtechs would have been my second choice. For the turn signals I got these

but you need to add a resistor like these

. And for the parking lights I got these

. all in OEM housing.

Thanks for the info and links! That looks like a good plan. I may just do bulbs now and worry about the enclosures later.

I'm really happy with the result my VLEDS have given me in my standard housing. Likewise, all the VLEDS I've seen in projectors look excellent. They're not cheap, but you're getting what you pay for.
