Judging by past the past experience of several members, LEDs seem like a PITA. I used the Hoen Xenonmatch city bulbs and couldn't be happier. Just my 2 Cents...

Andy, when you got the new set of LED's were they shipped with the regulators?

Were they just plug and play?

I just sent my melted set back to polyled. They said they would send new ones. I am interested to see what I get shipped.

you can keep the city lights on by either turning on the day time driving lights through the steering wheel settings or by manually turning the headlight dial to #2 position (pulling out once to turn on fog lights)...
