    We did this upgrade a few months ago. Very easy to do and worth the money. It’s nice to be able to see at night.

    Crap I need an adapter! Ugh! I bought Silver Holder LED conversion kit and they don’t lock in. Just ordered the adapters. Hopefully won’t need to modify too much. Great video!

    @thatlukeguy Před 10 měsíci +3

    I read that a problem with this type of LED conversion is that the headlight housing is not designed for LED's (the reflectors inside it, etc) and you end up with light that inevitably blinds oncoming traffic.

    • @DrifterJourney
      @DrifterJourney  Před 10 měsíci +2

      Thanks for watching. We did not have an issue with that. There is a height/angle adjustment screw to aim them properly.

    I replaced mine with LEDs early on. Didn't have an adaptor nor did I glue them on. The brights are fantastic. the low isn't as bright as I hoped for though. Which means its a promaster issue and not the bulb since all the bulbs are identical. My other problem is I my passenger side low beam will come loose occasionally from its housing and cut down its effectiveness. I don't know why since the driver side doesn't have that problem.

    • @DrifterJourney
      @DrifterJourney  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching! Which lights were you able to put in without "glue" and how did you do it. I was under the impression that it didn't work so I never went for it......but it sounds like you found a solution. I have a feeling that the light diffuser on the low beam is really the issue. Makes me wonder if really bright low lights would be good. We're stoked with this upgrade and it made it great for us. We finally don't mind driving at night. I'm not sure why I waited so long to do anything about it.

    I would encourage potential buyers of this product to look elsewhere.
    When I ordered this product it came with missing pieces and the pieces that it did come with were scratched. Clearly used.
    About one month in and even though the installation was perfect according to the instructions the headlights are flickering and going out.
    The product was recently De-listed from Amazon from similar complaints and if you want to save time and headache I suggest going elsewhere .

    • @DrifterJourney
      @DrifterJourney  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thanks for sharing. We never had that issue personally but would have been bummed out if it did happen. Where did you purchase them? I ask because I wonder if the scratches were because you received a set that someone returned on Amazon and said "new". Hopefully there isn't a quality issue with the lights being used and that it was just a bad batch. I'm sure we'll hear more if folks keep having this problem.

      Hi there, I am the owner of OpenGlass Van Mods. This was an unfortunate result of Amazon accidentally sending you a returned kit as new. Very sorry about that. Happy to rectify the situation if you're open to it.

  • @nathansimmons360
    @nathansimmons360 Před 7 měsíci +2

    Looks like those are HALOGEN reflector housings, designed for a bulb that outputs 360°, not 220° like a LED. Thanks for blinding everyone on the road and being incredibly selfish 🙄🤦‍♂️

    • @DrifterJourney
      @DrifterJourney  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Thanks for watching! I'm no reflector housing expert but I do know that I followed the directions and aimed the beam to the level that was suggested. The lights worked great and we didn't have anybody flashing us so I'm guessing it wasn't causing an issue. The same can't be said for our stock LEDs on our new truck. People seem to be flashing us all the time.
