I really like the way they look. They may not be completely trouble-free, but I could say that about everything to do with the car, lol.

They did look good. But got tired of the "why are the lights on your six figure car flickering?"

I have a set of the LED DRLs and really like the way they "update" my 2008 tt cab. I had a problem with the control unit but the seller sent another one out immediately. I think definitely worth it. Mine do not flicker at all. Coupled with my FVD LED tails, the car looks pretty modern.
But if you want to convert your fogs to HID, that is a different story. I have been dealing with that headache over the last few months and have tried a few different ballasts and bulbs. Even USP's error-proof ballasts only ignite 50 percent of the time on my car. A relay may fix this, but I'm too defeated for now to bother with the labor involved.

I see someone mentioning $1000 cost.
Are these the same, only $300 :

For that amount I am willing to give them a try ...

Junk
Mine came on the car from PO. The plastic is getting cloudy and will not compound out.
I am also getting issues with the passenger side throwing a bulb out warning.
Lastly, they don't dim when you put headlights on at night which means they are full blast all of the time. Which IMHO looks like some hopped up Civic coming at you.
As soon as I get the time, I will be pulling this Vivid over-priced junk off my car, and HAPPILY installing the stock units back on my car!
