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

My pleasure. I have not placed my order yet. I’m torn between HID and LED.
Question for you Danny.... Does each HID ballist have to be run to the battery or are the daisy chained? Thanks.

No, you do not need to use the relay harness as it's completely optional for the 4Runner. But to answer your question, if you are using the relay harness then each ballast would need its own.

This is good information! I will try without when my kit shows up!
 
Placed my order for the HID kit 5K color and Philips X-tremeVision LED Fog Light. Really looking forward to seeing thing in different light. I know that was bad.
 
I installed HID with Phillips 4300 bulb a few days ago and did not use relay. WOW! I'm amazed at the increased light quality and should have ordered these months ago. I'm a happy customer [MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION]!

Ordered mine this morning. Two years of sub-par light is enough for me lol.

Thanks to everyone who posted comments over the years, it helped me make an informed decision.

Received and installed my extreme kit with Philips bulbs. Maybe I set too high of expectations but even though the output seems more significant, it is not overly so. It could be that I adjusted the lights too low, currently there are no signs of me blinding anyone at this level.

Normally you shouldn't have to adjust the lights after install but if you need to then I would compare the cutoff to your old halogen bulbs on a wall.

i think most of us have had to adjust the headlights after install, mine were aimed too high from the factory

Mine were 6" over the lens height at 25', I dropped it to about 3" under. My Runner is lifted 2.5" in the front and 1.5 in the rear.
 

Low beam headlights - click for big


XenonDepot H11 5500k LEDs @ 1750 lumens

The light pattern covers approximately 50 yards in front of the vehicle with the LED element in the 3/9-o'clock position. I feel that the lighting pattern could be improved, but am holding off playing with the orientation and cutoff settings until after I lift and adjust the truck which is happening the weekend before New Year's Day.


High beam headlights - click for big


XenonDepot 9005 5500k LEDs @ 1750 lumens

With the high beams clocked at 3/9 it illuminates the road 200-250 yards out. The picture doesn't really show just how well the high beams illuminate the road. Suffice it to say they are a significant improvement over the stock halogens.

Thanks for taking the time to post some pictures and providing some feedback on the Xtreme LED Pro Kits you got!

How would you compare your new H11 LED low beam lamps to the HID kit for output and beam? I mean i can see that the LED's are 1750 lumens vs the HID's 3200. But you list FC output on the LED's but not the HID's. So getting a good mental picture of the difference is difficult. The new LED says twice as much output as stock halogen, does that mean the HID is twice as much as the LED and 4times better than stock? I run BD lights for when I'm out in the country and REALLY need light so I'm leaning towards the LED for longevity over the HID's/Balasts.
 
did you make sure to angle them? I installed 10,000k HID's on my 2016 and had to lower the aim of the lights because you will blind people otherwise.

The HID upgrade kits would still be brighter than our Xtreme LED Pro kit in any color temperature. Because of this, you will get more light on the road and down the road vs the LED.

LED is about 30-50% brighter vs halogen (Depending on which ones) while HID is about 2-3x brighter than halogen.
