Easy install, just plug them in. No error codes, really bright, and no dark spots... the light spread seems very even.
is the operation plug and play? People on some other forums said that you need a resistor of some sort and the installation is not as straightforward. Also why did you choose the Acme-X over the XHP50.2? is it worth the price difference? thanks!

Here is a good article on the subject. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...nversions.html
Please don't put LED bulbs in a housing designed for halogen. Even if it "looks right," or is adjusted downward, it can still send too much glare into other driver's eyes.

Do these cause any shadows on your 987? I installed their 15000LM Eye of Megatron LEDs and they’re casting shadows even after being installed correctly 9 and 3 O’clock position. Planning on returning these and giving the Acme-X’s a try.

No shadows for me and I am picky about lights... I am very happy going from really dismal OEMs to modern leds.
