Not to hijack your thread but was also wondering if using 55w H7 led lights as halogen headlight replacements will create issues with glare and dissipation such as using xenon retrofits on a halogen headlight.

LED's don't throw well, thats their issue. I would not use them as Low beam headlights.

i'm thinking dissipation more than anything.

I read all the time that LED's don't throw well and I might believe it. If it is true how does one explain the extreme throw of led flashlight bulbs?Is it due to the shape of the projector?

LED Halogen and HID for driving!

Got the GP Xtreme Leds.
Work great on my Fog and DRL. When I have a chance, I will post some images for you!

You are right, Not suggest for projector at all. Led has more than one location light projection; therefore, light are everywhere in a projector. (not focus)

I suggest Halogen and HID work very very well because of the way bulbs design!

Hope that help!
