^ You guys realize that there are actually companies that exist, that spend the time, money and resources to engineer a product specifically for our application?

DOT compliant, as marked on the lenses. Ugly looking, though...

Seriously, I start to wonder if you guys even think about these things. Come on Matej... get it together, baby.

Do not have 7x5" headlights anymore, just a car that happens to use H4 bulbs as well.
No LED bulbs for me then, until LED projectors become more available for retrofitting.

I think they're all fucking butt ugly. And on top of that, the price is fucking silly.

People talk about how long the LED last, so its a worth-while investment. What about the construction of the light? Its fucking plastic, which means the lenses are easily damaged from road debris AND UV exposure.

Maybe I'm just too old school, but if you ask me its no fucking comparison. I'd toss a few bucks towards a Hella or Cibie e-code and call it a day. Glass and metal construction, the end.
