Default CREED LED HIGH BEAMS

Hi guys,
browsing on the net i ran into these:My link

which IMO would be a pretty cool alternative to the boring halogen high beams. However,I can't figure out if they would fit due to the fat bulb.. anyone tried them out or any valid alternatives to suggest?

thanks!

All the reviews I have read about these cheap eBay/Amazon Chinese halogen-replacement LED bulbs is that they have extremely weak light output.

I can't see them putting out enough light for hi-beams, maybe okay for a fog light. I put Nokya yellow/gold H1's in my S2000, I really like the look of them, even when they are off in daylight conditions and they emit a nice yellow tinge to the housing. In night use they look cool .


Daytime - all lights off


Lights on

The LED's probably would work okay for flashing purposes, just not sure about long distance light output.

Something like this would work better than the ebay link, but like the previous poster said I don't know how well they would do as high beams. These fire the light at the stock location into the reflector housing.

Mine too!

I have a AP2 2005. I wasn't sure if that's standard and the car came out of the factory like that?
