I coded BL_L_..... and the bulb checks/flicker have gone.
Probably a typo. How do you like the 50's so far?

Horizon LEDs seem to be a bit hit and miss, I placed my original order for front fogs, front indicators, LED headlight, and rear lights and paid for next day shipping (everything was in stock)
Next day half my order turned up with a note saying "rest to follow as per email" hadn't had an email? Anyway about 4 days later the rest of my order turned up...
Place another order for H7 LEDs for main beam but this time went for free postage, ordered last Friday and have received nothing, emailed them 5 times with no reply, just don't get it? No phone number to call, not a great service.

Just contacted Zain, he asked to me to tell you to PM them on the forum here, a guy named Joe should take care of you.

I'm here in the U.S. and ordered from Horizon cause they seem pretty reputable, so figured WTH. Got some amber 50W's for my front turn signals, just anxiously awaiting on them to arrive in the mail! I can't wait to see the difference!

I'm assured mine are on the way, but horizon need to improve customer service a lot, prompt response to enquiries, provide tracking number and provide a customer service telephone line where you can actually speak to somebody. I hope the product quality is good because I can imagine a warranty claim being an absolute nightmare.

The product is good. I must admit when I got my indicators it took about a week to arrive even though they were in stock.

The brake light took about 4 days and annoyingly I only ordered a single one (doh), but the second arrived in 2 days.

I agree about the tracking # thing, it's quite a hassle ordering stuff specially if you're living in the Middle East (No tracking inside the country as well). Regarding the quality, I am sure you will be impressed by it, and trust me, warranty claim is as simple as sending a video/picture of the product failing and it's a done deal.

Was just noticing that the stock xenon bulbs look rather yellow in comparison to the 2500 lumen LEDs...makes me want to change out my xenon bulbs for something a little whiter

Haha tell me about it, but I most likely won't. Recently got myself the Osram Nightbreakers and they're too good to switch out.

Yeah I was actually looking at either the Osram NBU or the CBIs and I've heard great things about both. Did you manage to change out the bulbs just by opening up the little access panel in the wheel well? I can't find any well documented guides that describe this

I wouldn't know honestly. I got the bulbs the same time my car was at the dealership getting the M-Sport bumpers installed, so I just gave it to them. Anyways, I highly recommend them over the stock Philips Xenons.
