Are there any LED's with a good reputation for quality? Was looking around and there's a 13 page Jeep thread talking about how the keep failing.

First is low beam, second is lows and lifetime led pods, third is high beams only (have to pull the **** you switch to get both to light, passenger side doesn't work when flipping the lights to high normally)

The pics help.. I wish there was a way to compare to my Retrosoloution H-13 bulbs.. your driving lights look brighter..but my H-10 fogs look brighter

I have the Retrosouloution H-13 headlights and H-10 fogs. The fogs work great. The headlights do not cast light out far. The Putco's I just installed are definitely brighter but I will see tonight.

Sorry, what brand?


Retro solutions will start carrying it late February. I've been testing lights for them.


Coolest thing is the tint wrap they sell with the lights, allowing you to change the kelvin ratings.

Pretty neat so you can make them match any other light you have on the front of the truck. On my current LED head lights the brights are pretty much worthless how do these compare and how is the cut off? Do the lights actually fit in the housing so the low beam hits the same part of the housing? As in do both of the low beams hit say the lower inner part of each head light not one lower inner and the other lower outer or anything like that?

They both match the same, my other lights I tested sucked in that aspect


This is vs halogens sylvania ultras on the right and led on left . I'll take a pic tonight of both leds against the garage


All I need to do still is adjust them to point lower, they're a bit to high.

What I'm really interested in is whether or not the high beams work good with the LED's. I ran a set of bright source LED's and couldn't even see the difference between low and high beam. Low beam was great though....

Just got home and the Putco NITE LUX Leds are what they claim. They actually work..they cast a nice long linear beam with a wide aspect..Even when I hit the brights they are noticeably brighter and superior to my other Leds. I was just on You Tube and Putco has a new and improved set of Leds coming to the 16 Sema show. NITE LUX NITRO I dont know if these are any better than Retro's led that Jomax is testing..but I am pleased..

For you guys using these LED headlights, do they bother oncoming drivers? Are they as annoying as an HID bulb in a stock housing?
