Another satisfied customer on the Underground Lighting. Danny was responsive and got these to me in 2 days.
For the impatient, first the comparison pic, then more info.
The left is a cheapo LED, right is Underground.
It may not show on picture, but there is a huge difference in brightness and focus.
Ram reflectors suck without a doubt, well cheap LED didn't help much and I did not want to go HID.
This pic is of my Amazon/Ebay specials where I thought hot spots were and where they actually are.
The hot spots are lower than my Xs.
The light is so scattered and I have to adjust my lights lower to avoid blinding oncoming drivers.
I modified exposures to get the best results. Hard to tell but the beams are dissimilar in focus and color.
I tried various brands with same result.
The tape Xs were never moved nor was the truck during the install.
Here is with both headlights with Underground Lighting.
They are not the same height, but the hot spots are easier to recognize with the naked eye.
Passenger side raised to match. Passenger side is still off in color and focus, but Underground has severely lessened the issue.
During test drive I definitely see a cut off. Nothing like HID E-codes, but it's there.
These are focused enough that I am going to adjust them a little higher.
More info for people deciding on pulling the trigger.
I have always been OK with the cheapos, even replacing every year.
I finally got tired. I think I was on my 3rd set.....I am totally happy with these, I wish I had bought these first.
Only time will tell, but people here seem happy with Danny's response time.
Oh yea, don't be like me and think you could find the same brand on ebay or amazon and save a few bux. I was skeptical till I opened the box.
Underground is probably not a manufacture, but these are custom made for them.
For the install curious people.
The bulbs are metal, except fan, LED and such.
The mounting tabs lock into place perfectly. My cheapos never locked in and you had to stop rotating when you thought it was right
I did not have to change rubber gaskets like other brands.
I had adjust 1 of the bulbs to get the right clocking. These use 2 set screws vs a ball bearing locking detent.
The connectors lock correctly. I had cheapos that didn't have the right tabs and I had to use electrical tape to secure.
These are polarized. Some other brands are not.
The polarity on my truck was wrong, but that's because I reversed them for the cheap LEDs.
These fit in our RAMs without cutting anything. The CAN/BUS module is bigger than other brands, but it fits in there.
Since the CAN/BUS module is bigger, it doesn't fit as easily. One of my modules popped open when I mounted it with VHB tape.
No flickering or error lights, but cheap ones didn't either.
Since I went from heat sink to fan cooled, I definitely notice a sound coming from the headlights.
The striations on the bottom of the reflectors make a pattern in the beam. I never noticed it because cheap LED are so unfocused. With Underground I now can see it.
I have a bunch of photos for your viewing.
