Best aftermarket headlights? Need a Saturday afternoon project. The stock headlights LOOK great but really under perform IMO.

Halogen Quad Headlights, I'm open to replacing. Want something a bit brighter. If I can fit a bulb in my current setup that would work. Didn't know about overheating/fitting problems with all the components of a kit.

diode dynamics makes a LED bulb that would perform well in the quad housing. Its a little pricey at around $150 but would definitely be better than the halogen bulbs

It looks like they are on backorder though. Jeremy from retroshop(vendor on here)can get them for you when they are available though.

There are several good quality LED replacement bulb for the quads. Also there's the .... H11 I think it is swap. Brighter halogens.

Swap the oem h11 low beam bulbs out, and replace them with h9 bulbs. No glare to blind oncoming traffic and almost twice the lumens. You will have to slightly modify the h9, but it’s simple. Check YouTube for h11 to h9 conversion video.

I've looked up the Supernova v3 and they look identical to the Chinese noname LED I got for my bike. They are very good on the bike (H4) so I decided to order a set of H11 with and PWM CANBUS module for 60$ USD shipped. Should have them in 2-3 weeks


The 2 main reasons I got those is that they are fanless and the led size and location is similar to H11 halogen bulb filament creating an almost identical pattern, but much brighter.

Jesus christ... I'm sorry but your sites prices are astronomical!!!! Some of the led bulbs your selling for $200-$300+ the identical brand and bulb are on Amazon and eBay for $30-$50.

The aftermarket Spyder headlights and other brands that your charging $300-$500 for? Yea they average $160-$200 on eBay for the same exact lights.

I honestly don't know how a company with prices like yours can even sell anything.

Wow.

If your looking for more light, check out the Opt-7 FluxBeam-X H11 6000k LED kit.

It is $110 but you can Google a promo code for 10% off so it's only $100. The kit comes with the Canbus adapters youl need so no extra money spent. They look amazing in the quad housings. I've had 3 sets of these leds and I'll never buy another brand. They are amazing.

I included some pics of mine installed. Everything in the kit fits inside the quads and the dust cap closes. Some led bulbs won't fit and it becomes an issue. These fit.

Also if you look at the pic with the hood up, on the left is the Opt-7 FluxBeam-X leds and on the right is the Phillips CrystalVision H11 halogen which are supposed to be the whitest halogen bulbs available, yet look how yellow they look compared to the Opt7 led.

You can buy them at www.opt-7.com. Make sure you order the FluxBeam-X and not the original FluxBeam. Make sure it has the X on the box.

Everything is plug and play. 3 plugs all connect in a row and then connect to your stock plug. Push everything inside the housing and close it up. Your done. Amazing light output at a great

Check out the V.3's

They rock , light output is crazy and beam pattern is spot on

Talk to Anthony at Headlight Revolution, their kit comes plug and play and might be able to talk him into a discount

https://headlightrevolution.com/200...led-h11-low-beam-bulbs-upgrade-supernova-v-3/
I concur. I bought the V.3s and they are very good, but you do need the canbus adaptor for them to work.

There is also a comparison video somewhere, I can't find it now. They actually put 17 different brands in the Ram quad headlights and showed the beam pattern and measured lumens. The V.3's were a close 2nd place finisher, but the price was substantially better for these than the 1st place bulb.

here are the "v3" from china (TC-X) and also got the canbus (OSLAMP) adapter all for less than 60$. It has been almost a week, so far no code and are much better than the h9 hack.
