AAC HOD Bulbs... You have them? Please give me your Review on them!

i'm looking to put the AAC HOD bulbs, and now their new 5202 Plasma LED fog light bulbs in my 2010 silverado. this is a much better alternative to expensive HIDs so i can have white lights instead of halogen yellow. $200 vs. $600 (separate hi/lo beams plus fog lights) for 2 HOD kits and the new plasma LED bulbs

so please give me your review on your experience with the HOD bulbs!

not many from what i have searched and i know you guys are out there.

I have these on my camaro. For about 3 months now. Huge difference from stock and definately a cheaper alternative to HID's.

it's a krypton/xenon bulb and an LED, will always be close but not a prefect match. That's a given.

Jake here is the photo. I compressed it down as it was too big to post. You can definately tell the drivers side is way brighter then the passenger.
