Tried them and thought the quality of the light was great. However, I had to send them back because they could not be permanently installed on my 2014 GMC Terrain without a risky modification (cutting a large hole in the dust cover) of the light housing. Be sure to get the measurements of these LED bulbs first, then measure your vehicle's bulb housing dust cover before placing an order. Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem for many US cars and pickups.
I also bought these last time they were posted at this price. Using in a Honda Accord, no fitment issues. Light output is great. I marked the halogen's output on the garage wall using painters tape before removing them, these seem compatible with the reflector housings and have a similar output pattern, just much, much brighter. Make sure to familiarize yourself with what a 6000k light looks light before purchasing. Although the output on these is amazing, I took them out after a week because I despise the color temp. I run Phillps 85122+ in my other cars @4300k and cannot get used to how blue these are. Not a complaint about them, I purchased understanding they were this color, just not my personal preference.
These are illegal to use in practically every incan bulb housing. Even if the beam pattern is the same, which it usually isn't, the issue is that it casts more glaring light into the other lane and higher onto vehicles in front of you.
You can't have it both ways. If they produce more usable light in the same reflector housing, they also cast more blinding light elsewhere. The only way around this is a custom housing or optics in front of them.
You can re-aim your headlights lower and more to the right, but then you're about where you started with the same usable light except the bluer the color temp, the harder to make out details at a distance.
I bought these 3 weeks ago replacing my headlights and fog lights. For me, they had a sharp cutoff and were a very bright white. As an astronomer, I drive on dark back roads often and these light have been a great help.

Thank you!
