Throwing away my money? H7 LED replacements
Have seen a lot of bad press here for LED replacements in projector lenses. They seem to address some of the concerns. Yes, if it is too good to be true, it likely is. Tried to Google some reviews of the exact product to no avail. Comments? Thanks.

I did a big thread on LED replacements. The brackets are the big issue.
Don't work in projector lenses? Ha! They're fantastic. High beams have an immense throw; low beams have a terrific cutoff.
I put LEDs in my daughter's 9007 lamps. Now those results actually do suck, but that's not an LED vs. halogen issue; it's the design of the 9007 lamp. It's a massive improvement over the halogens, but the GL dual H7 system works way better.
Those ebay LEDs look like they're probably good, but I'd spend my time on Amazon instead. You'll quickly figure out there are a few makers of similar bulbs that tailor them for individual retailers.

I installed a while ago bi-xenon (replaced projector, installed OEM ballast and Philips D2S CrystalVision Xenon HID Headlight Bulbs) and recently installed in the high beams GENSSI Elite LED Headlight Bulbs Kit 6000K Super White and the output is impressive. The LED bulbs are not really difficult to installed (the cover will be really tight to install), you can adjust (rotate) the body to get a better beam pattern and they don't have fan. I bought them in amazon.
