How much time should I plan on for each headlight? Mine are pretty yellow.

Yellow is harder than frosted, but I would be surprised if the first stage sanding took more than 2 pads (they dust off pretty easy), and over 10 minutes. All in all, I would say that you could get good first pass results in 15 minutes, and if unhappy, you could repeat all steps again with no consequences.

If you follow the instructions it should be 15 minutes a lens when your all set up

30-45 minutes for each headlight I took my time and didn't rush. I also re-read the instructions to make sure I was doing it right

For me, the first one was fifteen minutes and the second one seven. Equal results on both

Chad: I can't remember exactly but I think about 15-30 minutes each or maybe more. It takes time to change pads and mask off and stop and check, etc. I usually said to myself - that's not enough, and re-did that lite again with same grit. You have to be vary careful not to run off on your paint or chrome. I used water and wet sanded every step. I would never try it dry only! I even went to PepBoys or Autozone or somewhere and bought a 2000 grit paper and made up my own extra fine pad. That grit that was not included in the 3-M packet. I did my Dodge Pickup lites in the fall 2012 they still look good. Chad: I can't remember exactly but I think about 15-30 minutes each or maybe more.

Mine were also quite yellowed. After masking off around the light it took me about 1 hour both both headlights. I completed each step on each light before moving to the next step

Purchased June 2012. No problems. Use them all the time, pretty much any time the headlights are on. Bright, yellow, good product.

They are bright. Put them in my fog lights. Color matches my xenon headlights.

Hey Brandon, you're good to go.Bought two of these guys and installation took 5min max in my 07 FJ...they're pretty blue, for LED's so if you want white, these aren't what you're looking for...but, I actually like how the inside looks with both installed. Good luck sir.

Three screws in each headlight. 10 minutes and you're done. Turn knobs to adjust beam. Hope this helps.

For the halos yes, I had the same for 2 years If you want even brighter get h11 led Bulbs 360 6000 lumen is going to be hard to get cap back into the headlights but damn the halos will look like the new models

It would be reccomeded that you use xenon for your low beams. Reason being is because the xenon headlight take time to warm up, and when you turn them on, they'll get brighter as they warm up. Better to have a halogen for your brights so they'll come on instantly. Also xenon lights will require a wiring harness so it is too much of a hassle to put in 2 different sets of xenon lights

Hi Thomas,We have not received notice from any one at this time regarding the yellowish color of the running lights
2275984
They look a little whiter than stock, so maybe 4300K. The higher the temp, the bluer the light. For example, 3000K is yellow, 6000K is blue. White light delivers the best illumination and is found in the 4 to 5 range. I replaced only one side ( bought a pair for when the other side dies) and it is whiter and brighter than stock.

comes with two bulbs. only need one for each headlight. one lamp lights up both high and low beam angel eye. this will be a different color than your stock yellow look so you will need to change out both sides for it to look right.

I got them on my 06 2500HD Silverado they look awesome, you will have to saw off the plastic divider between headlights. Have them for over a year now still looking the same.

They aren't completely white they are still yellowish they work great as long as your head light lenses are clean i have used the same pair in two of my vehicles and can't beat the price for a decent set of bulbs.

Make sure you have enough ampage running to the lights. Although the first set i bought didnt work but a replacement set was sent to me. Those did work. I have them on my truck still today ;) the white led ones are alot brighter thanthe amber ones. (Which i have both)

Depends on the size of the headlights. I have a 2002 Mustang, which has fairly large surface area. Doing one headlight took over an hour (though I'm sure that could be shortened). It wouldn't be difficult to do two at the same time, alternating within stages. But all the parts are very easily interchangeable, so I don't see any time saved. Doing one fully offers experience, as well as the confidence associated with seeing one fully finished product..

I have used the headlight 5 times a week for 3 or 4 months, about 30 minutes a ride -- the lights are starting to go dim on the first set of batteries

These headlights are actually very easy to install. When removing the old lights, pay attention as to the removal and install the new ones using the same procedures. good luck !

The headlight bulbs are a very dull yellow color. They are cheap and burn out within a month or so. You can buy replacement bulbs for the H1 halogens such as 6000k or 9000k. Don't be fooled by the picture! The halo rings are not blue, but a faint clear light. These are a poor imitation of the BMW halo which are actually gas filled. Good luck
