    There are many random threads on here of different truck headlight info requests, and it would be nice to have a broad range of info on what you guys are picking up on. You can't beat word of mouth advertising right? So, all you guys that have had experience, please chime in. The LED market has been flooded with crap, and only a percent of the marketed lights live up to what they're supposed to. So, can you guys let us know your experience with different brands like Trux, Maxxima, Trucklite, etc etc? 4x6 sealed beams, not sealed beams, do they get water in, blah blah. It would be helpful for guys to know so they don't waste money on junk. Myself included of course :). O yeah, and btw. Please no reviews like you see on Amazon sometimes, lol, like- Haven't opened it yet, but looks great! or -Just opened it, smells right! or- First hour of use, hasn't exploded yet!...........

    I simply reject them.

    I am replacing both day and night glasses with coatings that remove LED effects wherever possible.

    They have pervasively become a form of light pollution.

    Had couple of led bulbs in my pete headlights with lenses. Switched back to 4300k 55w hid because can't see a thing in the rain. Plus mine isn't heated so hid works the best for winter

    Thanks for the opinion. I've been hearing that as well. Except Maxxima?? WS is starting to put them in the new trucks from factory, and one of the guys at the dealership we do a lot of business was really gassing them up. One really cool selling point that i liked was that their warranty honors condensation, vs many other brands

    Just too bad nobody makes a nice, round LED headlight for the old iron.
