I Have the Hikari Upgrades they cut off in a pretty straight line, and when they are on you can easily adjust the beams with the grill off. Once you are set up you are good. I have a lift and I was able to adjust them so I don't blind anyone and I have yet to be flashed or flipped off for the headlights. The difference is HUGE for visibility and driving.

Mine just came in. Do you orientate the LEDs north and south or east and west?

Spending $750 seems silly. Thought I would just give these bulbs a try. I am going to dial them in same as the stocks lamps. Also swamping the fogs too

I used Sylvania Zevo 7443 bulbs as my DRL and turn signal, super bright and they are only $20 a set at your local Advance or Auto zone. Get amber for the turn and white for the DRL.

I have swapped out the stock halogen white for a yellow bulb, halogen. The difference was, well, night and day. Street signage really pops now, fantastically awesome in fog and rain. Keeps the halogen reflector for proper beam pattern AND a lot of folks pull over to let me pass. I suppose they think I am an emergency vehicle. Any one old enough to remember the Euro Cibie lights? Thems the ones.
Any pics? And a link to what bulbs you used?

same; not to stray away from the LED topic, but I don't know the stock halogen bulb that is used and had been wondering if the SilverStar Ultra would be a decent upgrade

I was getting flashed pretty regularly even with my stock halogen lights. A clean cut off is great, but be sure to readjust your headlights after any change in lift/ tires. Otherwise I’m really happy with these until solid 9” full LEDs start to hit the market.
