LED Headlight Options?

Cruizer · Nov 18, 2016

I've been talking to a guy on eBay about some LED's he's selling. He pointed me to the error-free LED's, but it states will not fit vehicles with dust covers. I think that's us. Anyone found any reasonable LED bulb replacements that fit our headlight housings?

From what I've seen, OPT7 is the way to go. Read many posts here about them and I'm placing my order for them today.

Do they have ones that fit our headlight housing? All the ones I've been looking at need too much clearance and our dust covers are in the way. Do you have any links or where are you getting yours?

I do have an OPT7 LED light bar. Over a year now and no fog and all the LED's still work. Thing is bright as hell too.

Saw a video from Diode Dynamics, supposed to have one that will fit later this year, or first of January maybe?

I bought mine on Amazon today.

Me too. Bought on Amazon and posted in that thread. Everything fits under the dust covers. I've got no errors and no flickering. I did use the capacitors that came with the lights. 2015 with quads.

Wish they had a little more throw, but I may still have them aimed a little low.

aftermarket technology is just not there to OEM LEDs from the factory. Need well focused optics to get all the light in the right place. Right now its about the same as putting a P&P in reflector bowl headlights

Cruizer, which headlights do you have? If you have the quad housings, the Opt7 lights will fit with the dust covers. If you have the projector lights, they will not fit.

Opt-7 fit high and low on quads, enlight bulbs fit high/low on quads and high on projectors, morimoto 2strokes fit the lows of the projector with the included dust cap extender, ill check how they fit behind the quad dust covers later.

I was perusing YouTube this morning and ran across this set up. Seems pretty reasonable and comes with the can buss adapters. Install vid shows that it fits behind the dust cover on the quad head lamp. "Sale" price is $150. I may have to check these out. I have something similar in my 14 Harley which is can bus as well.

I have aftermarket quads. They are the exact same as the OEM, but they're black. Same spec as the OEM. Looks like the OPT7 will fit. Think I'm going to try them.

I have an OPT7 LED bar and that thing is nice. Never fogs, all LED's still working. I read a lot about OPT7 on some Jeep forums. Figured if they're good enough for real off-road guys, I'd be okay. And its been great.

Opt7 is the way to go. I have them in my quads. Perfect fit 0 codes

I tried searching for Opt-7 on Amazon.'s and couldn't find them. I found these though. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Did you look at the product review right there on Amazon? I'm leery buying bulbs I don't know of anyone using. Especially Amazon and eBay. Too many Chinese bulbs in the market and they're mostly crap.

I have an OPT7 LED bar. Well over a year now and no fogging and all the LED's still working. Jeep guys have been using their light bars and that's why I gave them a chance.

So I ordered the OPT7 high and low beams. I imagine they'll be a huge improvement over the halogen bulbs I've been running.

Dierks the Dodge · Nov 20, 2016

Ya I read the reviews. Mostly good, some bad. This is just what came up when I searched for opt7 led. So I figured if ask if anyone had tried them. Just for curiosity sake.

Mbrigh3 · Nov 20, 2016

I dont know what Amazon.ca is but this is regular amazon...

Amazon.ca is just a localized search result. Probably shipping from Cali. I found the OPT7 bulbs I need on eBay. I double checked they come with the extra wiring if you need CANBUS support or polarity change. They were $90 with free shipping.

I just searched "OPT7 LED 9005" and "OPT7 LED H11". Those are the bulbs I needed.

I added the polarity and canbus device first time around. Im glad I did.... I just changed my reverse light bulbs to white led and my truck caught that. It reminds me every time I turn my truck on lol. The Opt7 Leds are a great product you wont have any issue. There customer service is also outstanding in my opinion.

LB3711 · Nov 20, 2016

is that big thing going to fit inside and close the cap in back?

Dierks the Dodge · Nov 20, 2016

Amazon.ca is the Canadian version.
