Started out by using feedback to purchase, then went to upper end pricing, and finally tried finding the brightest lumen rating (10K).
They all were week in comparison to the brightness of HID (35w not 55w)
How are yours for light throw? The 10k ones were bright at 3 feet, but get out to where it matters, and they fall short. I should throw one side in, and do a lumen test comparing.
I get high beamed occasionally and they are aimed proper. That's how bright they are.
I'm not gonna lie. I would rub myself on that wheel it's that damn sexy.

Brett has LED bulbs in his cars that are definitely brighter than 35w HID lights, probably on par with 55w. I do not remember what his brand is, but they come from a company he works for that sells and installs strobe systems on cop cars and DOT trucks and the like. Also of note, my high beams are projectors and not normal light housings.
Downside is, the cheap light bar I bought isn't any brighter than the high beams, lol. Hopefully the 55w HID KC daylighters I also mounted will have more throw, lol.

I don't doubt that it was. Had you tried to do the work yourself you probably would have gladly paid more after only being into the job 1/4 of the way.Quote:

Already contacted the steering wheel shop, they are going to cover the shipping and labor to correct this. I have contacted my seat manufacturer and will be ordering thread to guarantee a match.Quote:

They are proud of their LEDs, lol, but he swears by them.
It was a nice day today, so I drove to work with my new steering wheel setup!!!
The missing screw on steering wheel has since been replaced.
