David, Seth, or anyone else with the knowledge...

I installed my new IPF's today and happened to notice that the bulbs don't have a "Parking Light" function. Is this something inherent of all H4 bulbs or is this something only available on higher end H4 bulbs?

The install on this kit went very well. I can't wait to check them out after dark

Just got back from a test drive with the new IPF920-H4 headlights. The beam pattern and light spread is 1000% better than the stock lights but it's going to take a little while to get used to the colour, a little to bluish but not "Rice Burner" blue. All in all I'm extremely happy with them and the colour is just a small price to pay for greatly improved lighting.

As for my previous post about the "Parking Light" function... please disregard. I just moved here from Australia and over there I was accustomed to parking lights being incorporated into the headlights (seperate from the standard yellow marker lights). Apparently it's not that common here in the US.

Thanks David, Northridge4x4, and ARB for developing a great product!

Anyone in Ontario get their headlights yet?

Just got home from work and found a box from Northridge sitting at my front door

Installed mine a little earlier today, along with the Daystar Hood Wranglers. Haven't had them in the dark yet, but looking forward to it.

Install went good, trimmed the known areas before even trying to fit up, and everything snapped together good. I have never touched the headlight alignment on the stock lights, so I'm hoping I won't need to do much to get them right.

Hood wranglers are another story: my wife's gonna hate me next time she needs to open the hood! These things are TIGHT!

David, your website says these kits are out of stock, are you expecting more?

Helped JKF member Hemo install these yesterday after the business day ended. I'd bragged them up enough he wanted to experience the better vision. Needless to say not only am I thrilled with the upgrades he was as well. Nice job David along with ARB and IPF putting these together for us.

Installed these last weekend and finally had a chance to really test them out last night. Drove up one of the canyons where it was pitch black and zero other traffic and I am amazed at the light these new IPFs put out! I can see again! The whole road is lit up as well as a good chunk of the shoulder, instead of 2 barely visible yellow beams with the stock lights.

I did have to trim as expected to fit my 07, but no biggie. Also drove with them during the week without adjusting and the aim was definitely to high. Followed WoLs easy headlight adjustment Friday night and am now properly aimed. Big difference with proper adjustment, more road visibility and less tree limb visability!

Anyone on the fence about these, don't be. Place an order and don't look back!

What are the odds one could get yellow bulbs (as in, real yellow) instead of bluish white?
