XenonDepot HID vs LED, initial photo. (Pics reposted)

I got the 4300K kit with the Philips bulbs and am very impressed with the output on my 4Runner. I bought there LED kit for my DD Rav4, but didn't like them due to the color temp or just the reflectors in the Rav are horrid. I couldn't see any better with the LED kit. I'm not saying that it's a bad product. I think it is either the color temp that my eyes don't pick up as well or the headlight reflectors are crap. LOVE the HID in my 4Runner.
 
I just installed the Philips 4300K HID's from XenonDepot, and I am very happy with the light output...Huge difference over stock, when at times I could barely even tell my low beams were on!

I also got the xenon depot hids with 4300k philips bulbs. They are not labeled philips anywhere on the bulbs. Did I receive the right bulbs? For those of you who got the same product, can you confirm? Thanks
 
I bought the Extreme LED kit, and while they look good, the light output is just subpar.

Note: The LED kit in the hi-beams work pretty decent. I suspect the projector housing is the culprit for the lo beam LEDs.

Guess I'll be cutting my losses and ordering a HID kit for the low beams.
 
These bulbs are excellent. The color of the Philips 4300K bulb is bright and matches the typical OEM color except now I can see everything in front of my 4 Runner. They also light the passenger side of the road further on the sides so I can better navigate mountain roads at night. I also purchased the 2700K Philips LED's to upgrade the fog lights. They also seem much brighter and give off a nice amber glow in front and better side coverage as well. Both are about a 10-15 minute installation.

Any pics of the 2700k installed? are they actually yellow?
 
looking to purchase some of this for my TRD Pro but a little confused on the kits.

H11 HID Kit | Extreme Hid = low beams
9005 HID KIT | XTREME HID = high beams/drl and can be used with the low beam kit? Need the can bus for high beams?

Is there a list of all interior bulbs?

Your light output is what I was expecting when I bought my 4300K Philips kit, but instead mine is super warm, especially toward the cutoff line where it is almost orange. It also has a greenish hue to it. The added orange and green is actually distracting to me. I was expecting a pretty neutral white that would match what you see on OEM HIDs with this. But this is not what I am seeing. My last car was an Audi with HIDs and this looks nothing like that did.

Does anyone else's 4300K bulbs have this sort of look to them? Is something wrong with mine or is this normal?

Mine look like yours for the first couple of minutes when I first turn them on especially the first couple of weeks I had them. They are definitely starting to get whiter/bluer as time goes on.

How long have been using the lights? Keep in mind with the Philips bulbs it takes about 100 hours of usage for them to settle in and color shift to 4700K which will be a little more white.

Not very long. Only a couple weeks now with minimal night driving. I was just surprised how warm/green the starting point was before the shift. Seemed a lot warmer and greener than I would have expected. I'll give it some more time to see if it changes at all. Otherwise, 5000K might be for me. Ultimately I am after a nice white light like you would see on OEM HIDs. Don't want it to look cheap and blue, but also don't want the warmth these are currently giving me.

I would run them a little longer and they will color shift to 4700K. If you're still not happy then I would go with 5000K.

Does Xenon Depot have an interior light conversion kit, yet? It is very expensive to swap out all lights to LED when buying the bulbs individually. I think a nice and easy kit with everything included would make life much simpler. This might be a question for Danny...

Unfortunately, there isn't a kit that includes all the interior bulbs in LED. You would have to purchase them separately but right now we are offering 20% off any order which you can take advantage of :)
