Opt7 and its definitely plug and play. No wiring or splicing. Super easy. Just beware of the light pattern pic I showed earlier. I'm boardeline changing back to stock or maybe seeing if sylvania has a silver star bulb available

I have a 22" light bar and two flood led cubes on each side......just wanting my stock headlights to match. I have enough light already. Well......light is like garden hose. Always get more if you can:).

Thanks you Joe. I was about to buy the OPT7 but I think I would be disappointed with that light pattern. I will look a little more before I buy.

Has anyone else seen the same scattered light beam that Joeymt33 is getting?
Can anyone report a better result from either OPT7 or another brand?

I did the HID upgrade and it is miles better than stock, the stock lights are borderline unusable. The HID beam pattern is a bit odd when shining it on a wall... on the trail it seems fine for me. Still no substitute for a spot/flood combo led light bar that can be had for $50 or less.

Was that the same brand of HIDS?
I do know that certain brands act differently in different housings. It would be cool if people would send pictures of different brands and then people would know what to go off of rather then the hell Mary. But if anyone is replacing those lights with higher wattage halogens they really have to watch the heat and burning up wiring

Zentec is the brand I bought.
I adjusted them way down after this pic and am VERY happy with them.

I'll try to get better pics after adjustment.

Is the Zentec just a bulb replacement or is it an LED conversion?

Bulb replacement. The bulbs require a ballast for each side that's included in the kit. They fit easily in the housing on the 700. It is all plug and play.

I did the HID conversion as well. Ordered them off of Amazon for $39.99. They're made by SDX, listed as HID Xenon DC Headlight "Slim" Conversion Kit by SDX, 881, 6000K Sold by Kensun
I had an issue with a ballast and they sent me a whole new replacement next day for no charge. I am VERY happy with the lights and the service.

Not sure why the pics are sideways but I can't correct them on my phone. Could someone put them the right way please?

Do you have a beam pattern picture? I care more about how the light performs instead of how the front of the vehicle looks.

My HID kit looked "cool" just like yours pictured but the light output was terrible. This is the OPT7 kit. Here are some pics....

Cool blue may look good but it's less effective for night vision. Our eyes are built for 4300k not this 6000k

I don't have a pic but they don't look like yours, that's for sure. They only issue is that they are uneven due to me not taking the time to adjust the height of my headlights yet. I'll try to get a pic tonight. And I didn't get them to "look cool", I got them because the stock lights are crap and these light up the woods.
