I have had the Nighteye LEDs on the low beams for about 2-3 weeks now. While there is a dramatic improvement in the light output over the stock halogens, I still am not satisfied. Things that bother me:
> Beam pattern - the halogens definitely had a longer throw in front of the car
> Colour - they are a little too blue for my taste
> Random canbus errors - when they have run for ~2 hours, an error pops up
> Noise - its audible even at idle
Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison of the Nighteye low beam vs the eBay Commodore HID low beam kit? From what I have read on this forum, the following could swing it in favor of the HIDs:
> No canbus errors
> Does not need messy cooling setups (one less point of failure)
> Better colour temp (~6500k on LEDs vs. ~6000k for HIDs)
Anything else that will justify almost 5 times the price ($30 vs $150) and the pain (dear lord!!) of replacing the low beams on our cars.
