GTR Lighting Gen 3 Ultra Series LEDs for cheap
So according to the 15 LED shootout on YouTube posted by Headlight Revolution, the best LEDs are the ones in the thread title. Pretty sure I found them on eBay for a lot less. Looks pretty legit. If they aren't exactly as described then I'll just send them back. But hey, for $25 bucks it's worth a shot.
2X PHILIPS LUMILEDS chip 9006/HB4 LED Headlights - 7000LM 50W LED 6000K White | eBay
They claim to use the almighty Lumileds Luxeon Z ES chips, so if it's anything less they will have to take them back.
Anybody else have experience with these?
==================================================
Update: 8/19
received these in the mail. talk about FAST shipping! 2 days from Cali to Rhode Island. very happy so far, as these appear to be the same. one has to wonder, where does GTR Lighting get their products made?
compare the $200 dollar product here: https://gtrlighting.com/gtr-lighting-gen-3-ultra-series-led-headlight-bulbs-9006-hb4/
to what I received here:
Only difference I can spot is it appears GTR Lighting may have darkened the beveled faces directly adjacent to the chips. This may have an effect on light scatter. Seems easy enough to do myself if I feel it will have any discernible effect.
Installed night-time shots to come.
==================================================
OEM fogs
OEM lows
OEM fogs + lows
Pass LED fog / drivers OEM fog
Both LED fogs
Both LED fogs
LED fogs, OEM lows
LED fogs, different section of road, aimed fogs down a touch
OEM lows on the new location (same as above picture)

I will try to find a good spot to get some beam pattern shots against a wall.
Overall, satisfied with my purchase. For $25 bucks I really can't complain. Not sure if I completely love the "upgrade", as I don't love the color temp of LEDs. If these were say, 4500 to 5000k, I would probably be much happier. Maybe its just something to get used to. I have LEDs in my reverse and cargo lights, as well as auxiliary 6-LED back-up lights. and I also I knew what I was getting into as far as LED color temp due to working for a Lexus dealer, they have several models with LED headlights + foglights.
Would I pay $200 for these? Not a chance. Are these the same lights as GTR Lighting is selling? Magic 8-ball says "signs point to yes".
Cheers
