So you think the cut off in the pics that are in the link above are good? Or is that just a poor set of TLs?

 

What cant be seen in the pictures is how the light actually projects. Notice on hi beam when comparing to the hid, the truck lite still has a defined cut off while the hid just throws light everywhere. In front of a garage door, it does appear that all the light is focused on one spot. Where you notice the difference is when your actually out driving. Maybe there not for everyone, but i would rather drive around with leds and not get pulled over every 10 minutes like you would with hids. Tomorrow night, if i remember, ill take some pictures using a truck at work that i know the headlights are aimed properly.

 

I have 2 sets of HIR bulbs in the cabinet at home. I want to say they are Toshiba branded. The bases were "adjusted" to fit my s10.

 

I've heard about that. The real one need to be adjusted.

 

Yeah both needed to be adjusted the tabs didn't line up to the housings.

 

Mines were fake Chinese stuff. Made to fit with hir technology

 

I can't account for other peoples experience, mine has been different. All of mine, and those that I've installed for others have been quite yellow, but not horrifically so. Also are not lacking in the brightness catagory, though I always run higher wattage bulbs with relays. I've been pulled over a couple times for mine. I have these in a couple of my cars currently, not in the jeep though.

 

Here is a link of them on the road.

I expected a lot better for that price. Now if they were $150 for the set. That would be fine. Also I will let you know the first time I get pulled over 10 time in one night for my hids. I have never even been flashed. I'm running 4300k bulbs. They are easier on the eyes so maybe that helps.

 

You can get the good HIR bulbs as well, or, used to be able to, they sell them at John Deere dealers, I do not recall the PN however. I want to say they were $27-$30 a bulb.

 

can anyone else comment or provide pictures of the zeus or truck-lite led lighting quality?

 

They must be for a 98+ S 10 then.

Toshiba/GE never made HIR bulbs in any other socket type other than 9011/9012 and they have been discontinued for years. You can still get HIR1/HIR2 bulbs but they do not have the coating on them anymore.

Any H4 bulb that claims 55w = 85w is a lie.

I tried a set of those a long time ago on a 89 S-10 blazer and it almost caught my headlight switch on fire.

As for the Zeus I don't of anyone that has posted pic yet. There is a guy that just ordered some Hella E codes to go with his so pics should come soon.

 

Yes, was a 98, I think that was 5 or 6 years ago. The housings were 9005/9006 hence the modification to latch into the housing.

 

ive been runing sylvania silver stars. ive been running on the same bulbs for almost 2 years. no burn outs

 

Just put the Zeus in on Tuesday and already pulling them out. Disappointed to say the least. They were a pain to instal because of the length, nothing hard just more than I feel is necessary for bulbs. Along with that I went to re-align the lights since I had to pull the header panel to make room for the cooling fans that are on the back. I could not make the proper adjustment because once again they are too long and bind up. With all that said I would still be pulling them out. They have about 30 minutes of use on them and one of the cooling fans has already crapped out and one of the lights is already flickering and has cut out.
I am using them in a hella housing, don't have any pictures but the distance on them pretty much sucks and the high beams are a joke to say the least. Hope this helps!
