Best LED's on the Market! Who Needs HID's?!
#42
Before I ordered them, I also wondered how they would look next to my factory HIDs. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that it was a VERY close match. These LEDs are almost completely white. But like I said in the first post, they are a PERFECT match for the Osram CBI HIDs, and those are 5000k.

You want the best light output with out having to match every bulb on your car. Go HID or HIR2 or get a conversion plug to use a HIR1 in the 04-06 foglamp housing.

couple of Q's can I use the H1 bulbs in my 03 Subaru Legacy headlamp housing with no ill effects? They look like a direct replacement.
Where can I get the fogs lamp replacement bulbs?

Really, the Philips HIR2 puts out 1875lm at 55W , and their HIR1 puts out 2530lm. In fact they put out much less than HIR1 bulbs that put out 2530lm each. Not the 4800lm combined all those led's put out.

There are a lot more halogen bulbs out there that output 800-1800 lumens compared to those "select few" high-performance halogen bulbs that output 2000+ lumens

Of course, they make ridiculously high wattage halogen bulbs. I witnessed an e36 with 120w bulbs melt his wires and housing.

I did a quick search on the Sylvania bulb guide, and it looks like the '03 Legacy uses an H3 bulb for the fogs. So you could replace both your main headlights (H1), as well as your fog lights (H3) with these LEDs.

sweet, thanks for the response. Since the headlights are DRL on low beams I can just leave them on all the tine as the Legacy has auto off headlights (pull e brake or turn car off)

dang it, tried to order and got a hash mismatch error

^ can you have him fix the cart as well? it seems like you can only put 1 item in there at a time. I will try to re-order when I get home from work in about 7 hours

Yes, these LEDs can be used to replace halogen main beams as well as fogs and DRLs.

Another quick Q those things say 6000K but they look way closer 4300K are they really 6000K? I prefer closer to factory HID lighting temps.

Are you ordering from a computer that's connected to a work network? Another member had issues with his work's internet blocking access to the merchant site when he tried to make a payment for his lights.
OR, are you trying to make a payment with American Express or Discover? The seller informed me that he does not currently accept either of those cards as payment methods.
I just went through the order process myself and did not get any errors.

Ordered myself a set and at that price, seems like a steal.
These are simply plug and play correct? I bought the 9006 one's for my fogs on my stock 04.
Should look pretty good as I just got done restoring the headlights because they were so yellowed and aged. The lenses are now practically brand new looking so hopefully these LEDs look good.
I'll post some pictures once installed.

One last thing I forgot to ask, do I need to remove anything (bumper?) to install these or do I simply removed the old bulbs from the rear of the housing and install these in their place?
thanks

Awesome! Glad you got it working. Would you mind sharing which web browser you were having issues with so I know to tell people in the future?

Interesting ... I placed my order today with my Amex and it seemed to go through fine. I even called an hour later to confirm that I had selected the correct bulb type and he saw my order and didn't mention any payment issues. I hope mine ship soon ...

I was just speaking in general- these LEDs are bright enough to replace the primary halogen headlights on cars, in addition to the fogs and DRLs (whatever is available on your car).

Check out THIS thread for doing the Independent Fog Light Mod. It's not too difficult.
