Recently swapped out my halogen headlight bulbs for a set of the Supernova V.3 LED's.
Install: First off they were incredibly easy to install as it was basically just plug and play. One of the bulbs came clocked perfectly in the box with no modification needed. The second bulb needed approximately an 1/8" tweak to be perfectly clocked which happened to be right in between the holes for the set screw. I don't know how much a difference it would have made, but figured if I was going to do it I'd do it right. Aligned it where it needed to be and put a little plastic epoxy in one of the holes and with about 5 minutes extra work she was all set. The rest was just plug and play and everything fit perfect.
Performance: So far I am very happy with the performance. The lights have a perfect sharp cutoff just like the factory LED's on my wife's explorer. While I don't have a lux meter or any other scientific equipment my eyeballs tell me they are significantly brighter. I have read where some people couldn't tell any difference between low and high beam and this is not the case with these at all.
Conclusion: There are so many companies out there offering LED's for these trucks and there seems to be no accountability to making claims of light output. I must have decided 5 different times where I was going to purchase them from. While these may or may not be the best or cheapest out there I appreciate the time headlight revolution takes to make videos discussing the products they sell as oppose to just a bulb # on a website and they offer a military discount. This is what made me settle on making my purchase from them. Overall the LED's performed as I had expected and I just wanted to let ya'll know I am happy with my purchase.
