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.

Smackdaddy and I have the same headlight bulbs, the Beamtechs... I am including a link to them, I also installed new retainers for them and they help keep them cooler. I bought a set of matching fogs to go with them. They are awesome!!

Reviews look great on the bulbs, curious as to what headlight housing you guys are using?

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.
