Default Which LED Headlights?

Thinking about ordering up a set of LED headlights tonight, was between the truck lights and the quadratec ones. Just wondering who has them and what you all think?

I had Truck Lites and they were okay - leaps and bounds better than stock. I recently upgraded to Morimoto Sealed7 Projected HIDs from The Retrofit Source and they're incredible. A little more work, but the output is so much better. If you're dead set on LEDs though I'd say the quadratec, TL, and peterson are about the same. From what I've seen, the KC output is marginally better and then of course you have the JW speakers. Between the Qtec, TL and peterson I'd just pick the ones with the best warranty/price.

Don't forget about peterson led and kc highlight. Many companies seem to make these led headlights. I am leaning on TL. The rest seem to have knocked of their idea.

If you wait a couple days alex, I'll show what the quadratec ones look like. You get the idea from rausch too?

I've heard a few things: they're basically the same light but quadratec makes one. I've also heard they partnered with trucklite but that doesn't make sense to me.

If you go trucklite we'll have to compare for others down the line, I doubt either will be disappointing though.

For the price, it's hard to beat the truck lites. I'm happy with mine.

FWIW I'm 99% sure HIDs are illegal in VA. A few of my buddies have been harassed in the past when they had them in their cars.
