Question Switchback LED Info

Hey Guys and Gals, I am planning on purchasing a set of Switchback LEDs and I am requesting any information that anyone may have about them. Such as brands, brightness, quality, prices, installation, adding resisters etc...
Thank You

when you prewire them in with the harnesses, do you tell people to mount the resistors away from any electrics? those casings get hot and will cause a short at the least if any wires get burned though.

Correct. Ours have wires extended so they can mount under the headlight
