Light out put is tons better than stock.

But I am gonna put HID's in them 4300k, so the white light matches my LED's and my LED bar that's in my bumper.

I got them off eBay!

They are called Spec-d projector Headlights.

Bought them from k2motor, great customer service! Replaced one of my lights for free and sent me a prepaid shipping label to send old one back!

I'm waiting on my new H4 LED globes.
Have any of you found any different ones ?
I'm starting to think these might be a waste of time and money because of the fan on the rear of the globe. ( water/mud is surely going to wreck these )

I had a buddy try them out. They are garbage. His Hella E codes lights with 55w bulbs put light out further and wider then the h4 led bulbs he threw them away and is running halogen bulbs again.

I googled and have searched eBay, it looks like the only LED headlights are meant for DRL or fog lights... Not actual headlights high/low beam...

These have been developed by Southwest LEDs and HIDS in Australia. They are a true Hi/low LED H4 headlight globe that is plug and play. They do have a website but it is crap. Check them out on Facebook it's much easier to see what I'm talking about. The photos I put up before are the difference between high and low beam.

I'm in the states. Is this the same, or an almost identical kit?

WOW !!!
What a douche !!
NOT YOU Sir !
I contacted the guy (douche) here in West Australia, at first he claimed that he had designed these alongside the manufacturer !!!! Then suddenly admitted that he had nothing to do with the design or production of these, just that he has bought them in bulk and changed the packaging slightly.
I'm a bit (a lot) embarrassed to have passed on bogus info

The only good thing about what he has done is that he is selling them cheaper @ $125 Aussie with free post to us here in OZ.

I can't tell from the pics, but isn't there just one LED bulb per side in that kit? It says high and low.. Hmm..

I'm waiting to hear back from the seller with some pics of the quality.


Just checked my email.. Here's the response from the eBay seller.



"It's hard to get good pictures showing how bright the lights are. For comparison purposes they are double the light output compared to a regular halogen factory bulb. I have compared them to 35w HID kits and they are brighter.

We have a 14 day return policy, so if you were to purchase and were not happy you can get your money back.

We have sold a lot of these and everyone has been pleased with the light output.

Jeff"

Guys, keep in mind that light assemblies from where they drive on the wrong side of the road are not good here where we drive on the "right" side.

True. The eBay link says it ships from the US. I would assume they're be fine for our roads? I guess it wouldn't hurt to double check..

I'm going to install my new Hella H4s and Putco harness, see how that goes, then go from there.
