Hey all, sorry if this has been mentioned or asked before. I've been off away from here for a while so I'm trying to catch up but has anyone come across these before?

Claiming genuine Cree chips too. I've seen these in action and they are damn bright but what's peoples views on them? I'm running 35w HIDs at the moment and they're going a bit dull and I'm in two minds to either upgrading the HID kit or try these out. Checked them out in YouTube and though there are some cheaper versions out there they don't look as well built and also this company has the benefit to me of being about 10 minutes from my house so any problems I can go right back.

Thoughts? Cheers you lovely people.

Though LED technology is advancing quickly, it hasn't reach the level of HIDs yet. Sure you'll see them in new vehicles as OEM but the ones you linked aren't OEM and the light output will be inferior to HIDs at this point. (By the way, those you linked are meant for reflector housings, not for projector housings) I'd rather upgrade the HID.

If you're interested in those LEDs, a member on another forum (http://www.dodgedurango.net/forums/durango-discussions-2014/14988-fog-lights-replaced-50w-cree-leds.html) installed them as fog lights. It may help with your decision.

Thanks for the reply. I have reflector lenses at the moment - didn't quite make the leap to projectors just yet. I've seen LEDs in some new Audi and Mercedes vehicles over here but I appreciate there is a bit of a difference in technology! Thanks again for your reply. I'll see what other kind of responses I get before committing to anything!
