[blurred]

I'm digging the silver accenting on the corners

Thanks! Took a lot of time deciding how to paint lol.

Excited to see those on the car!

How easy where the euros to retrofit?

Not sure if these are LHD versions though, still waiting for a response from them about that.

Virtual Ronin found them on Xino.it

Good find, please let us know which pattern they are.

Alright, just got my PIAA leds installed yesterday! definitely much brighter than the halogens that originally came with the lights. It was tricky tucking the led controller box inside the assembly but with enough finesse, it went in. Also, i had to bend one of the tabs on my left light in order to keep the bulb seated. The heat sink is heavy, so if its not seated very snuggly it could cause the headlight to pop out of adjustment. I didn't have any issues with it bouncing around during my test drive yesterday and my drive in to the work today. So far so good!

Any before/after pictures?

Unfortunately not, it was freezing out so I didn't stop to take pictures.

Nice! I love mine, been running them over a month now no issues. Did you end up getting the longer caps from TRS as well?

Yes i did. There's no way the bulb would fit without the extended caps. I also found out that these LEDs don't burn bright enough to melt ice/snow off of the lenses. So be mindful of that. It hurt my bulb output when i was driving in pour weather the other day.

UPDATE: Not terribly thrilled with the output in pour weather conditions. Not sure if it was just the wet roads reflecting the light yesterday, but they didn't seem too bright. I'll keep running them for a while and see if my opinion changes.

So apparently the euro lights shipped aimed too low for me. Once I adjusted them and raising up these LEDs went from alright to great!

I haven't seen the OEMs in person so I couldn't speak to the brightness

How long did it take to get the lights after you ordered them?

I ordered mine two weeks ago and they showed up at my retrofitter yesterday.

 

[dailybean]

Any update on these? Any pictures of the output?

These are RHD only also by the way.....I read the specs.

 

[Ducky]

Correct. I replaced the projector so it was fine, but it's something to consider if you don't want to drop $1000+ on lights.
