I use the Opt7 fluxbeam led lights for my fogs and they are awesome imo. There is a bunch of us that use them that are on this site.

Are these really "plug and play?" Anyone have any issues with install?

Thanks.

I have LED headlights in my 2013 slt and think they are great, also had them in my last truck. I know lots of people give grief about having LED or HID style lights in reflector housings since they can create glare but the 4th gen housings are pretty great. The only issues ive seen with this style LED is that the diode is on one side (sometimes two sides... but still), I use COB style LEDs since they are 3 sided and more closely mimic that of a halogen and can utilize all sides of the reflector housing.

To answer your question, yes they are typically plug and play units. In the 4th gens you sometimes need an CanBus for the anti flicker, and sometimes you may need to drill a hole in the dust cap to allow the vent fan additional space as they usually extend relatively far past stock bulb housings.

Hey bud, you said you have them in the dual low/high headlights? I just want Leds in the low beams so can you send your set up. Im going to copy you... Thanks

Just ordered these for the low beams in my 2016. Hopefully they don't cause any errors. I used them in my last car for over a year and they were great - didn't even have to adjust the headlights after install

I have HIDs in my oem projector lows. I have the Opt7 led in my fogs only which are not tied into the canbus system, so I cannot answer to any codes getting thrown.

No problem. I have these 40w headlights in highs and lows

Along with this canbus for the lows

When I get home ill snap some pics for you if you like.
I've tried other brands of LED lights and they all kinda do the same thing, so for me it comes down to price and past reviews (I've always opted for 3 sided cob style)

OPT 7s Just put FLUXs in the fogs not CREEs, I need to swap my fogs, other than that loving them. You get used to people flashing you. I have my headlights all the way down and still get flashed. I can see towing and that's why I did it. That and they look awesome.

Wow this must be the most common question on the forum. If mods want I can make a thread about the OPT7 headlight bulbs on quads and upload my pictures to it. Maybe that will help us cut down on some of the duplicate threads? Let me know mods if you want that to happen.

I havent been flashed yet. I aimed mine pretty low too. I will say the poor soul directly in front of me may have a problem seeing.
