What LED's have been used with good results in these cars, giving a good beam pattern and brightness? The cheap ones from eBay don't fit. Has anyone had success doing this upgrade? Share what product you've used.
I have used a variety of LASFIT LED formats in both reflector and projector housings with good effect, minimal off-axis spread.
For LEDs I first got the GTR ULTRA 2 low beams. I needed them because my 50% windshield tint made it too dark at night with the halogens. I did the 65W halogens before that(Not bright enough and caused glare to oncoming drivers) and then the Ultra 2. The ULTRA 2 are amazing with a clean cutoff and I never had anyone flashing me. If you don't have windshield tint, these are perfect. They can be gotten for a bit cheaper now that the 3s are out. Then when they came out with the GTR ULTRA 3s I switched to those. The 3s are even brighter but the color is different and I don't like it as much, but I finally can see how I want through my tints. Don't go cheap! There are several reputable brands out there. From what I can tell most of the good ones cost greater than $200 per set. The companies have been around for many years and they stand behind their products. I have also heard good things about Morimoto. Good luck
50% is almost clear I would think, 30% is very light tint. I still wouldn't do the windshield though. Definitely not legal in most places.
Some people go way darker. Though I agree it is too dark for most people at night. But during the day its perfect and you almost cannot tell its tinted from the outside and I've never had any problems. I looked up the specs on 3m Crystalline and this seemed like a good level. I put their 80% VLT on my dads car because 50% would be too dark for him. There is a noticeable difference between the heat entering the 80% and 50%. I live in south Florida and having no windshield tint is unacceptable.
