Scroll down to the 5G Cree units.
Those are not the same ones, The ones JWM sold were 3 square chips on one side. No external ballast.

I don't think these are the exact same ones, but I've read great reviews on these and they look the same in terms of light output. I will be purchasing a set. Can't go wrong with Corvette Mods.

Nope. Not even close. 1800 lumens vs. 3100 for the others.

Dealt with them before until they wouldn't exchange something still under warranty. Never buying again.

Corvette Mods are the worst spam i've ever had in my life. I'd have to opt out of email ads every week, it wouldn't stop. Now I just have to mark it as spam to not see it.


I think I found the closest ones on ebizzy.

They also have terrible reviews as a business. I'd be very cautious ordering from them. Best bet is find the bulbs elsewhere IMO.

Just found these searching around.

http://www.xenondepot.com/9145-LED-f...145-led-hl.htm

Might be worth a shot. Company has favorable reviews and so does the product.

They are very well known in the duramax community, I've have good results with my purchases as well...I wouldn't recommend something that wasn't good.

The shop I work at, we have been installing these (Flashtech) for about a year. They put HIDs to shame. Our fog bulb is an H10 I believe.
I haven't plundered to see how they fit but we've been doing headlight replacements will great success.

For those that got those from JWM with the directional Cree LED's, which direction are the LED's suppose to face?

I found some on sleazebay with the same design, but the led's only sit one way.

Got mine from Xenon Depot and they're working great. Had to swap the o-rings from the stock units to these since they came with ones too large to fit into the opening in the housing.

No pictures of them on the car yet as I haven't driven at night since install.

They were $101.99 shipped with coupon.

Which way did you end up pointing them? I have my led's facing up. It looked like it the light filled the housing more uniformly this way and I tried it several ways. Pointed towards the center, I found the outer side of the lens not as bright as when the led's are facing the motor.

Left/right. Didn't think to try the other way.
