What are some good led headlights(white) for my coupe that are under $80?

Please give an update about your LED lights after you get them installed and had them for bit. I'm especially interested to know hot how the drivers get under load. I had a set of the OPT7 lights and though they looked great, I got increasingly alarmed by how hot the drivers would get even though I did my best to give them air space around them. I was worried they would melt wiring or worse so I took them out. I will say OPT7 support was initially slow to respond but then was very good and prompt about giving me a refund after I stated my concerns.@theprospect Search on Ebay, you'll find "OPT7" (fan) or "ETI" (heatsink) copies which might be manufactured in the same factories as the name brand for under $50 all day. But since your budget is already $80, why not add about $20 more and get a name brand like OPT7 or xenondepot.
I'm going with xenondepot myself, they've got a 20% off sale going on right now, they use Philips leds which are supposedly whiter and the ribbon heatsink to me is better than a fan that might hum or fail.
Which of these is much better? And what is the difference? I don't really know much about cars. I just don't like my yellow headlights.@theprospect Search on Ebay, you'll find "OPT7" (fan) or "ETI" (heatsink) copies which might be manufactured in the same factories as the name brand for under $50 all day.

The Osram Night Breakers are amazing. Throws light out much farther than comparable halogen bulbs. The downside is that they don't last as long as the OEM halogen bulb (dunno who makes it for Honda). Color temp is around 3600-3700K, which is "whiter" but not the blue-white color you see on other bulbs.Which of these is much better? And what is the difference? I don't really know much about cars.
