Both the Fahrens and Sealites I bought had them wired in. I posted a pic of the Fahrens and you can see the decoder in line. That is not the decoders you are seeing, it is the ballasts ! Thats not a ballast. LEDs typically dont use a ballast.

Got 6 months out of this Osram Nightbreaker Laser. Im on the 3rd set and I never got more than 10 months out of em. It definitely was brighter and better beam than OEM, but I got the schitts of changing out bulbs. Drivers sides easy, and I can yank the airbox out of the passenger side and have a bulb in in 5 minutes but damn does it get old. Especially when its cold out and I dont have a garage. I just ordered some LEDs for low and high beam. Good reviews on Amazon, even though theyre cheapies......so how long LEDs usually last? Any issues? I run diode dynamics LED bulbs with do issues .Goggle them

Brighter and they already outlasted the majority of Osram Nightbreakers I had been running. BUT, I got an email from Amazon stating there was a recall on these highs below for being TOO bright. And I could call Fahren for replacements or they would ship from Amazon a new set that were DOT safe...... Originally Posted by pahick Well, Amazon split my order, so only the highs came in this morning. Too damn cold to do it outside anyhow today. The others should be here this afternoon. They look well built. For $40 I wont complain....yet Problem is, the ones above are 60w 10,000 lumens. The LEDs they recommend from Amazon are 120w 20,000 lumens.... WTF?? No way these arent brighter than what I have now. Think im disregarding the email and keeping what I got.

Id have replaced halogens at least once, most likely twice by now. They definitely paid for themselves and performance is same as day I installed them. Gotta say best upgrade ive ever done to my truck.
