Yeah, very happy so far, have them aimed just below the headlight cutoff so I can see better driving at night. They produce no more glare than the halogens above where they should be shining. Cutoff is really clean which is why I picked them, and the yellow filter for snow keeps the brightness down a bit while still providing really good visibility both forward and to the side. Not too bad on price either at 265 off amazon.

I've been looking for something like this to replace my factory fogs. How are they in the cold? Like does any snow or ice accumulate on the lens at all?

Haven't been in conditions where that might happen yet.

Bump. Since someone asked me about them.

They're great for supplementing weak low beams.

Yellow filter is great in snow/sleet/rain since the light reflects less. They can collect some snow in the right conditions (read, for these lights, very heavy snow with big flakes at highway speeds ~45mph that chill it down once it hits the lens) -- but this can happen with virtually any light I've ever ran up north. Factory HIDs on an F150, HID retro on my TJ, etc. happen under similar conditions. If it's colder I've collected snow on Halogens -- here it's because the colder snow sticks to the warm lens, while on the colder running lights it just bounces off. Freezing rain, your windshield is going to go first. Rain-X and carry a thing of de-icer for the 1-2 times/year it's unavoidable helps. I've noticed that the conditions don't really cross over, i.e., the fogs will collect while halogens don't and vice versa.

I've also installed a pair of D2's on my 80 Series Land Cruiser in Texas. No complaints there either.
