I did a page on them on my site so to keep from hogging disk space on the site here I'm just posting the link for anyone that is interested. Best $50 I have spent in a good while.

Hi Crowz,

Is this to mean that you removed the Xenon factory HID bulbs and replaced them with the LEDs or that you ADDED the LEDs to the driving light housings.

My approach has been to add high intensity LEDs to the high beam sockets and code them via the IBUS app to 45% and add similarly powerful LED bulbs to the fog light positions. This set up, even at 45% in the high beam positions gives me a very good illumination in the event my Xenons ever decide to lay down on me.

I would love to be able to run my high beams and the low Xenons at the same time but I do not have the INPA software and had amateur's difficulty following the programming you outlined on your web site.

Mike
