All the sub $200 stuff seems to be getting terrible reviews, including the one I linked.Quote:

Let us know how many cats they hold.Quote:

Yeah, that'll fill up faster than you think. For me its just local docs and media (mostly movies, TV and music for my Plex server) so I'm not too worried about it getting full. I'm only using about 1.4TB of space now and I could probably stand to delete some stuff I'm never going to re-watch.Quote:

From this photo I'm guessing you have a reflector housing given the cut-off line or lack thereof. I would HIGHLY suggest removing those as you'll be blinding oncoming drivers. Dropping LED replacement bulbs into a reflector housing is dangerous as these LEDs don't have a pattern like the Halogen bulb does which the reflector needs to have a proper cut-off. You can get away with it in a projector housing if you aim properly after installation.Quote:

They don't throw light as far which is the important part of a headlight and not how well it lights up your garage door from 2' away. They also have dead spots and hot spots and aren't uniform at all. Lastly is the life span: not good. Generally LEDs have a longer service life compared to halogens but these cheap Chinese (and even the more expensive ones) bulb replacement units do not have that same attribute. While it's true that the business end doesn't make much heat (LEDs by nature have less heat byproduct than halogen) the driver side makes an obscene amount of heat which is what causes them to fail in many instances more frequently than halogen bulbs.
So in the end you pay more money, get shittier light output and shorter lifespan plus you blind oncoming drivers if you put them in a halogen headlight housing.
That's a score. Most tests put those at about 95% the performance of the high end YETI, RTIC, etc. coolers at a fraction of the price. I've been thinking of getting on but haven't yet. Not sure how you got three of them for nearly free but if you end up needing only two, let me know!Quote:
