Default LED headlights

Ok so I'm just curious here has anyone tried the cheaper versions of LED headlight like what you find on eBay or Amazon? They are a fraction of the daymakers but just wondering if anyone has ever compared them or if they are worth trying out?

I use an LED bulb replacement and couldn't be happier with it. It came with a lifetime that so far I have had to use once over the last 2 years. I couldn't see a difference in performance but I pulled up behind a pickup with a chrome bumper and noticed that the reflection was odd. Turns out that one of the 3 led's was out. I forget if I got it from ebay or amazon, it was one of the two, but the part number MT15-3F if that helps.

i picked up a used daymaker from the classifieds and i am more than happy with it. it literally is a day/night difference compared to the stock bulb. to be honest it's almost too bright as i occasionally get flashed from oncoming traffic despite having it angled correctly. it has the same light pattern and brightness as the factory HID lighting on one of the cars.

I put the Headwinds unit in the Wife's 2011 Heritage. She loves it.

It seems like the only options for the 5.75 inch headlights are HD and JW Speaker. Anyone know of others?
