thanks its says there meant for hi beam and fog light aplications. i just figured thats beacause of the blinding effect from it going all over the road in crystal housings. i tried to message the seller but havent heard from him yet about use in projectors. im scared to put in hid's cause Eagle Eyes claims they will burn up the housings.

no ive heard with the turn signal bulbs you have to run clip on in line resitors. sounds complicated, but is nothing more then a 50 cent piece that clips on to the pos. wire

Honestly, I don't think they'd give off enough light. However, I think some one out there should try them and let us know how they work out.

I really can't see LED's projecting much light...they aren't really meant for headlight applications.

I don't know about LED's not being bright enough. My single LED bulb Mag-Light is brighter than my headlights.

As for those ones being bright enough I have no idea but if you do find out let me know. These projectors are actually not good for HID because HID bulbs put out light in a different way and projectors don't mix and match too well. Could be the same for the LEDs.
