New Helo rims installed, 16" +42offset. put in a couple switchback led turn signals..only issue is they sent me amber/white instead of amber off, a bit concerned that the apparent flashing of white might draw the attention of the popo. Also new reverse lights, I've tried a couple different ones over the years and was never pleased with the result but these put out a good beam, lots of light where it counts.

Led headlights are next.

Do you have a link for the switchback led turn signals?

These are the ones currently installed
https://www.ebay.ca/i/291105815852
They come with resistors as well, I did have to sand down the top of the circuit board to get them to fit through the existing hole...not much, just needed to take a mm off. That being said along with the fact that they are flashing amber/white when I signal the amber is not all that bright, maybe a bit difficult for others to see in the daylight.

So I've purchased a different set, these are supposed to be amber/off, 18mm diameter (the others were 22) and they have more and larger amber leds plus a projector tip. Should be here tomorrow or Wednesday.

How is the light output compared to stock? How about compared to other late model cars with LED headlights like Mercedes or Audi?

Hahah! Last time I mentioned the price of this headlight people went mental ))) they where about $1300 including shipping and customs. They are bolt on so no retrofitting or anything.
They are brighter then the stock headlight and the light is more evenly distributed.
I cannot make a comparison with any other cars with LEDs especially the European brands.

I hope this answers your questions.

Also I should mention that I have seen a lot of fake ones on eBay that are not CoPlus brand. And I would suggest NOT to buy fake ones. If anybody is looking to spend this amount of money make sure you get the real thing. Just my 2 cent.

Thanks for your input. Just wanted to make sure the light output is at least comparable to stock, hopefully a lot brighter. Osram is a quality name in lighting, like Philips so I hope these are top notch quality.

I've seen the knock offs also and would rather buy the CoPlus brand.

Ya I saw that thread and I had seen the cheap ones on eBay so was just wondering. Looks great.

Ten minutes and two car parts stores later (Autozone doesn't bother stocking it, apparently), a new filter went in and my trip to work was up by 3 mpg.
I use the K&N permanent filter - no more trips to the store.

As soon as I saw the insulation on your garage door, I knew you lived in a cold climate. : )
