I want to change over to led lighting and replace my hid system. What has everyone used? Any pictures of them installed? I want it all to fit in the housing. My dust caps are already drilled for hids so the wire going out doesn't matter. I looked at opt7 and wanted to know how these will hold up if anyone uses them. Thanks!

I've seen many a pot about this same topic, general consensus seems to be OPT7 is the brand most go with. I went with a different brand but only because the shop that I work at as my 2nd jobs sells them.

If you're doing LEDs in projectors I wouldn't do it. LEDs don't fill the whole projector housing like the HIDs do. HID bulbs give of 360 degrees of light where as LEDs only shoot light either up and down or left and right. I had LEDs in my projectors for a little bit and they were no where near as good as HIDs. Now I run LEDs in my fogs and those are great!

Is it safe to say that diode is working on a set of LED's for the projectors?
