LED headlights, who has them?
I just ordered a pair of these:
Anyone else run these 9006 replacements? I did a search and did not find similar results. I found LED headlight replacements but I like my popup style and this advertised LED system with mostly positive feedback I think will do just the job for good lighting at night.
Plus these will compliment the rest of the LED's on my car. Every bulb has been changed to LED. I have switchbacks in the front markers for a white running light / amber blinker. I also put some focus-lens white LED in the backup sockets for some intense backup lighting, I could never see so well in my life while in reverse.

I'd be extremely wary of them. LED's are great and all, but right now they aren't very good for applications that require very intense light like headlights, unless you pay big bucks for them. They are just recently starting to be strong enough for hydroponics and the like, you usually have to pay big bucks though.

I am loving them, first night driving home at night 25+miles on back-country roads and no issues at all!
Yup! Sorry I forgot the link,
These have two led's, one per side. The bulb is rated at 25watts each, so I assume each LED is good for 12.5watts or so?
This may be the one, check out my pics!
The quality is the best I can get out of my iphone 4s, I would say the light spectrum is about as white as you can expect and comparable to HID's without the cost, heat or worry of ballast replacement.

Are the LEDs instant on?
I have instant start HIDs for my high beams but they still take a second to warm up then they are instant after that.
There's also these LED lights from China

Ya, lets not confuse yours with the ones I bought off amazon, those look cheaper, and have no cooling fans.
I was confused by your answer,
Is that Ya a yes for instant on.
One of the reviewers in the Amazon ad said no warm up.
