Plug & PLay HID???? AGAIN???

[noel]

Thats led not hid.

Thats led not hid.

OooOoooo smh..are these still any good?

 

[Supra mn]

Those are the truck-lite's, they put out a good amount of light from what I've seen. But since they're not sold in sets, you could retro-fit some nice hid projectors for the $450 you'd spend on these.
I think I remember seeing one person with these on a mkiii. They look good, but I personally can't justify that type of money for headlights alone.

I have these on my Miata and love them. Theyre the next big thing! HIDs are so 2000s. Welcome to the 2010s!

I'm completely sold on them. Plug 'n play, quality, American made, amazing light output and solid pattern. Definitely plan on these for the Supra

 

[Silver MK3]

Like mentioned above those are LED. A few people with Supras have run them. They are great because they are totally plug and play, but they won't have the same light output as a quality set of projector retrofits. The downsides are they are pricey for not having the best light available and I personally don't care for the looks too much. But if you don't want to go through the hassle of doing a retrofit these are a great option.

Here's how they look on my daily

Out put is better than I expected. Not bad but pricy though.

 

[BrandonW]

I'm running them I like them alot and won't go back to oem or switch to hid

and if that price is each that's more than I payed and they even went up about $20 I believe on the site I used

 

[TurboStreetCar]

Those look pretty nice. Thinkin about picking up a set.

Well...now that you can see it so much better...

CLEAN UP YOUR YARD!!!


Is that a dresser and a water heater??

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

That is the scrap pile. I live on 5 acres, and all of that stuff is just in the corner.

That is a busted water heater, and the other drawers were used for tools and crap. When we get enough crap together, we scrap it, or if we need something, it's there.

 

[TurboStreetCar]

Anyone have any pictures of how they look shining down a road? Long range pics would be nice to see.

Any of you guys that have these ever get flashed by oncoming traffic?

Ditto. For ~450 I would like to see how they look on the road before committing to buy a pair, otherwise it looks like the mk3 supra finally has an easy headlight upgrade available =].

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

I'll try to remember to get some tonight. I should be out late

 

[BrandonW]

They light up everything way better even the reflection on street signs and all I can see way easier than before also a wider beam of light

I want to say when I got mine they were $147 each from here, delivery was fast (they are actually made for jeeps dot approved and all not for off road use only or something)

[Orion ZyGarian]

That's where I got mine as well. Generic 7" round headlights for 55-14+ round eye Jeeps, Harleys, and anything that uses that H6024 style. Mine ended up being about $350 shipped from them (again, for a Miata)

Here's last night's pics

Prices are dropping quickly. I would not be surprised to see them <$100 next year.

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

I think my model was $600 for both when they were released. Mass production and technological advances are quite great
