Hey guys I was looking around http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/l...-1058--526886/ but ran out of time since I needed to go to bed, which ones in your guys opinion should I get? I added a pic so you can understand what I'm going for. If anyone knows of a better place for bulbs or something please let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

They sell good stuff. I ordered from superbrightleds.com for the leds in my headlights. When I did I ordered a bunch of extras in case of burnouts, becuase I know how hot the inside of the headlights can get. But I've only ever had one burnout in almost 5 years.

How is the quality of the light? I've heard LED headlights can be hit or miss, especially with the cutoff and with the illumination distance.

I don't have LED headlights. I was referring to the LED running lights in my headlight assembly, like the LEDs Snowman was looking at. I still have standard halogen headlights.

Oh ok then. Haha. But you're happy with those running lights?

Yes, very.

They are not nearly as bright as the ones that come in Audis and VWs these days, but they are a few years old. The site may have brighter ones now, since the LED technology has advanced and has become cheaper to manufacture.

Here is another picture of them where there isn't as much flare from the light:

Do you have a camera? I'm sure we'd all volunteer to be seen(at least our cars) in a video.

I'm good with it, Hayes you don't live to far from me I think? I'm near Tower and Sterling Hills. If you want to get together and see what we can do with it I'm down.
