Default Pilot LED headlights?

I am about to pull the trigger on the Peterson LED headlights for the wife's jeep, but stumbled across these Pilot brand for pretty much the same price if not a little chapter. I can't find any reviews though. Anyone familiar with them, or should I just go with the Peterson?
Amazon.com: Pilot Automotive VP-3106B Black Finish 7" Headlamp: Automotive

Thanks,
Dan

If you can wait a little while, I would suggest it We may be launching something very soon on the forum which just so happens to be the topic of this thread...

I installed the Pilots and like them a lot. Bought from DasMule, installed, experienced high-beam flicker, contacted DasMule, they had a Pilot rep call me, the Pilot rep sent me a new set, installed the new set and voila, no high beam flicker. Nice working with folks that stand behind their products. BTW, no anti-flicker harness is necessary, just a set of H4-H13 connectors.

I want to bring this thread back. Anyone else have experience with these or can compare them to the other led alternatives? I like the look of these pilots but the performance is still kind of unknown.

Those actually are the Nolden LED headlights. Heard good things about them on the german forums.
You'll find more information if you google "Nolden LED headlights".
There's also a review on expedition portal.
