Re: ** Official LED Headlight Conversion Thread **
My two cents without pictures:
HIDs are dead and LEDs are in!
LED bulbs are great. I got a kit for under 60$, using the phillips style bulb with the "wing" for my h4 bulbs. I have a cutoff near stock on my EK, no more blinding people! And there's no bootup time.

How 'bout some details on what kit you used? I still haven't seen a really good halogen drop-in, and properly retrofit HID are still the current top o' the heap IMO. I'm optimistic for sure though.
Morimoto/Retrofit Source has retrofit MLED projectors coming soon too, I'm excited to see those.

Is it on sell yet? I've looking at koito's bi-LED setup. Its not that bad. There's a chinese brand that actually has better output but I'm concern that they just overdrived the LED and that would cause it to burn out sooner.

They're in a testing phase. If you watch their FB they have them on their personal vehicles and such. I just did a retro after leaving my parts in a box for two years and change so I'm officially off the market but my interest continues!

Re: ** Official LED Headlight Conversion Thread **
So I took a chance and bought some eBay LED kit, it looks exactly the same as the OPT7 LED kit except the color. The heatsink design and the LED design seemed identical, but it was $50 rather than $100.
I forgot to take a before shot, but here's an after shot. There's no street light on this street, but the light is super bright. I would say it's 80% of the brightness of HID, but because of the FluxBeam lens on the LED, the light spread is more even and HID. I like it so far, let's hope it lasts a few years.

Have a 1996 accord EX. Bought a pair of 9006 equivalent 72W/pair with fan. I put them in and they won't turn on. https://www.amazon.com/Treedeng-Headlight-Conversion-Approved-Waterproof/dp/B07DMHT4DG/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmrnull_3?keywords=9006+led+headligh t+bulbs+treedeng&qid=1551151112&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull
I put back the old halogens and they still work. Any ideas?
