    These look like a wannabe GMC headlight.. i highly doubt the output is better than the stock reflectors. Morimoto just released their dual low beam projector + single hi projector. Output likely beats the bricks off this thing as its already much better than the OEM 2018+ leds.

    eww halogens

    "The headlights are using H7 halogen bulbs for low and build-in LED for high beam, customers can upgrade to Xenon HID and LED conversion kit with minor modification"

    If it offers an easy swap to a higher end bixenon projector it could be a good option... $370 is not bad at all - the typical complaint about the 18+ OEM LED is lightning performance versus HID setups like LS430, TSX, etc. projectors

    I think the LEDs in the 18+ lights are good. No complaints here.

    sticking an hid into a projector developed for halogens is only slightly better than sticking them into reflector housings. if you want GOOD light distribution, you're going to want real Hid projectors.
    i think hes saying, whats the point of spending 300 for the same performance as stock..

    I'm talking about removing the projectors it comes with and bolting in real ones. If its possible, $370+cost of projectors gets you basically the rest of the custom work you'd do to stock housings like LED DRL while keeping your originals intact

    This is the beam pattern using an HID bulb. The housing doesn’t need look like a Tundra, but maybe it uses the same projector as the one in the Tundra. This is from their website.

    I was the first customer in the world to have their Full LED nova series in my F150. The customer support was great. the Light output and pattern were great.
