Gonna kick-start this again. Still rocking that DDM 55w kit, but trying to see if we finally have an LED alternative?
I don't know how well any of them would compare to 55w hid, but Morimoto has 2stroke v3 out and TRS was pitching pretty hard for the high end Phillips Ultinon

Do you run on 6000k ? Any pics
These are the mori 6500k kit when I had them in my civic. They only sell 6k now though

I need to take new pics with the current s-v.4 leds for comparison. I deleted the ones I had by mistake.

They look awesome with the bluish color for style were you running them on 55w ballast?
So how do you like now the sv.4 are they brighter or better than the hid kit you previously had?

I was on 35w ballasts. To the naked eye the s-v.4 appear similar but Im pretty certain the HIDs have more actual brightness to them. I need to see if I can find the video lightwerkz did with these leds. but I do like them. found this color chart too

Sounds good , i would like to see them . If you can take some from front and upclose against the wall would like to see
Here are some pics of the lights in the daytime/nighttime. They're 6000K and match the DRL pretty well. They're Hikari LEDs.

Hikaris were the first LEDs I put on my 2020 Civic 1.5 months out the dealer. One went within 2 months. Customer Service was garbage (2021). Idk if it’s changed..

Anyway. I went with GTR Lighting and haven’t looked back.

Interesting. I've had 3 Hikari products now, super bright with no quality issues. Can't speak to their customer service, but it doesn't surprise me that it's bad.

I have the 2023 Titanova's currently, ridiculously bright.
