Hi all: A friend recently forwarded this link: https://www.hidextra.com/razir-led-...ra - Shopping Campaign&utm_term=4580771599883765&utm_content=RAZIR LED Lighting and while it seems simple enough, nearly plug-n-play with their adapter box, I'd be concerned. Diode Dynamics who advertises on this site, does not offer a headlight kit, and I'd believe they'd have one if it could be made reliable.

So, far, I'm happy with the light output of my Sylvania Ultra Silver Star bulbs, but I'd be curious to know what the rest of you think!

The only LED kit to get if you aren't retrofitting projectors is the GTR lighting LED kits. I used a 2nd Gen kit in my Compass both with and without projectors, I now use their 3rd Gen kit in my cherokee.

Have a read

They are a good kit, but not perfect only because they aren't recommended for the application i use them in

I'm not sure what you mean by "adapter box", but if you're referring to an HID kit, then I would caution against using one. There have been a lot of reports of problems with HID kits, and I've personally had problems with them in the past as well. I'd recommend sticking with a good quality LED headlight kit. Diode Dynamics makes some great LED kits, and I'm sure they would have a headlight kit if it could be made to work reliably.
