Installed after work today. Still need to do some adjusting. I’m sure I can find the answer on here somewhere but when I turn high beams on it’s just the high beams and the lows go really dim but not off. Also the high beams are basically a spot light atm. For 117 buckaroos after shipping I’m pretty stoked with the results.
Are they the best? No
Are they reliable? We’ll see

Personally not a fan of the aftermarket LED’s. A well built headlight specific wiring harness with independent relays, some updated lens housings and nice halogen bulbs really make a big difference in lighting. I’d rather keep the man lights stock and then run some good LED aftermarket fog or driving lights on the bumper.

I agree I don’t really love the look of them. I needed a quick and dirty solution to not being able to see at night. I will definitely be making a harness and getting a different more stock looking light in the future.
@DrRock ok James, I’m about to get off the fence & try to improve my headlights for my drive out to SAS 10. Currently leaning towards SL2 Pro bulbs to go into my Koito housing on my 60 vs the Holley Retrobrights and for about 1/2 the cost.
In reading your post #20 in this thread, has your opinion/thoughts changed? Are you still liking your SL2 Pros. And the big question since you also have Retrobrights in another vehicle…have you found any major benefits one vs the other?
Back & forth, back & forth…pay $250 or pay $500 ?? Your & experience with both options will be a great help.

After a few days with these lights, I opted to go stock again. I returned them and luckily got my money back. The stock setup leaves much to be desired but it does the job. I had ordered some basic 4 x 6 h4 bulb housings, but they are too shallow, and the chrome trim piece bottoms out before the housings get snug. Frustrated, I moved on and went back to stock bulbs. A problem for darker times...
Hi John, if you can wait until SAS, I’ll have both my trucks in Ouray do you are free to try them out and decide which setup you like the best. My 60 has been with Kelly Saad so I haven’t had a chance to do a direct side by side comparison. I will say on my recent trip to Austin the retrobrights are very nice but I can’t say with confidence that the price difference is worth the jump.
Since you already have the Koito upgrade, I’d vote for just upgrading the bulbs and call it a day.
Hope that helps.
Cheers, James
