What brand/model did you go with for the headlights?
I've been skeptical about moving to LED's from HIDs as LEDs could dim/burn over time due to lack of heat dissipation, especially in the engine compartment.

VIPclk320 sent them to me, not sure of the brand. These LEDs have a cooling fan on the bottom I guess to somewhat deal with heat dissipation. I'm also assuming that since you can get way better lumens with LEDs vs HIDs will make up for the dimming over time. Per VIPclk320 these LEDs are rated at 8000 Lumens. Maybe member AznOptics sells? Seems many buy HIDs from him.

Nice!.. Ash got me a set too, also with cooling fans. I don't know the lumens, but it's brighter than my old Xenon bulbs which were 35w. These LED bulbs produce a very clean, bright light!.. I love them, I'm full LED now, both front, rear and interior...
