Torchstar LED for Headlights

Hello all,

I am thinking about getting these LED bulbs that Mod Mini has recommended

Amazon.com: H7 LED Headlight Conversion Kit - 2 pcs H7 LED Headlight Bulbs w/ 2 Installation Cables - 20W 2400LM Each - Daylight 6000K Waterproof IP-68 for Replacing Halogen & HID Bulbs (H7): Automotive Amazon.com: H7 LED Headlight Conversion Kit - 2 pcs H7 LED Headlight Bulbs w/ 2 Installation Cables - 20W 2400LM Each - Daylight 6000K Waterproof IP-68 for Replacing Halogen & HID Bulbs (H7): Automotive

I am also thinking about getting some projector headlights and using these bulbs in them.

I am just wondering if anyone knows if these bulbs would be to bright in the low beam position? I have halogen stock headlights right now and i really dislike the yellow light, i would like to put in these LED lights if possible. i just don't want to blind people on the road, I have heard that projector headlights throw light differently than the stock ones so i thought i would ask the all knowledgable NAM! my stock bulbs are the H7 55w halogens. Any input would be appreciated! thanks!

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm contemplating buying the projector headlights made by Helix Depo and combining them with those LED you talk about, only if they come in 4300k color.

After doing some researach on my own i think i have decided to still go with the Depo headlights but put HIDs in form DDMtuning. From what i have read the LED bulbs are bright but they dont project very far out from the car. And when combined with projector headlights as opposed to reflector headlights they are even worse.
