I would like to see the beam pattern on a wall at 25ft.

I just installed LED bulbs in my truck headlights. Easy install, and they do make a difference.

Got the bulbs from

From what I read. You can use LED bulbs with projector lens. The best bulbs are the 55w HID, followed by LED's, then 35w HID. The LED's being the easiest to install.

Ha, I subscribe to their YouTube channel. I assume you bought the GTR Ultra 2?

I would love to upgrade to 55w ballast, maybe when my bulbs are done and I’ll upgrade all st the same time.

Yep. It's almost a plug and play kit.

How is the spread/throw of the LEDs installed on your truck? I haven't paid much attention lately but from all of the videos/comparisons I saw in the past their performance was nice from up close, but the distance was severely lacking (compared to even halogens) and the cutoff was pretty much nonexistent with light everywhere even when using projector headlights.

Big improvement over the halogens I had. The spread and distance is a lot better. The cutoff is the same as factory. If the factory is crappy, then these will be crappy. You have to watch on how you install the bulbs. Because you can put them in up side down. Which will throw off the beam pattern.
