My mods

I've taken the plunge and just received a pair of the Cyclops 4.8 Platinum and resistors , after calling and talking to one of the sales people.

There are a couple of issues wit the OPT7 that I hope to cure.

One that I had previously mentioned has to do with installing both Hi & Lo beam OPT7 - apparently the CanBus didn't like them both, and would go into a frenzied flashing on/off mode. Just the single Hi beam (without Lo) eliminated the flashing.

However, on warm (over 70 degrees F) with just the Hi beam OPT7 and stock H7 Lo beam, I get intermittent flash of the Error Lamp (10 to 20 minute interval - and throws code on my GS-911) - nothing that causes any interruption of the light output - just the Error flash.

I plan to effect the swap in the next week or so, and hope to have positive anecdotal evidence to pass on.

UPDATE

Cyclops bulbs installed for both Hi and Lo beam.

Have not installed resistors yet - initial garage test had both working without the "flashing" issue I experienced with the OPT7.

Against the garage wall, Lo beam has a clear cutoff, while Hi beam has a full spread downrange.

Next step is to connect GS-911, clear any codes, and set a baseline, then test ride.
