Led high beams?

I just put these piaa leds to upgrade failing led nokyas in my fogs, and they are bright. These are what I used.

Anyway so I haven't checked out what's new as far as LED headlights for a while but I decided to since these fogs are great. Came across these.

Has anyone tried these? I have factory HIDs and silver stars in my highs right now, I'm thinking of giving them a shot. I am SO done with his conversion kits and lights not turning on, melting reflectors relays etc. leds are definetly the way to go, so am I going to be the guinea pig or has anyone else tried them?

I've been thinking of doing the same thing myself. Looking for a good LED system. I like the idea of a system with no fan cooling but they're hard to find.

Been seriously looking at this Genessi unit on Ebay. I haven't heard anything about them but they're about the same price as everyone elses and have a slightly different design to them that makes sense I think.

That bulb design looks good, but they have fans also. I'm kinda worried about the fans myself, the ones on my piaas are loud

Maybe these. Doesn't look like they have fans. Pricey but a good quality kit from what I hear.

So far so good with the fans, and I have driven thru some serious rain. My car does sound like a PC with the fogs on and engine off lol

You're going to hate when you actually need your high beams and the LEDs aren't lighting up chit lol

Plug and play bulbs just aren't there yet in terms of being optimized for reflector based housings.

If you want a upgrade, you can swap in 9011 HIR bulbs.
