You can add me to the list of "enlightened" Foretravelers.  I have not had a chance to turn the new LED's on after dark but they seem significantly better than the old bulbs.  It took less than half an hour to make the swap.  I only did the low beams but may do the high beams later.

Installed new eagle eyes with HID bulbs yesterday.  Glad to have a fresh clear lens again. 😎

We are happy campers with ours. Polished the lenses, then added the LED's.I don't believe it to be too much for a oncoming car. Stood way back at night and looked.The lights are adjusted up some too.
If I have any issues with people giving me the brights, while on low beam, I'll adjust them down some.

Update. Didn't want to beat a dead horse, but finally got to road test the LED 's.....
Drove up to Phoenix this weekend, drove back at night. 100% better. Passed many cars on un-lite roads. No one flashed their brights back at me.So I think we are good.
Saw them on the back of aluminum polished doors on a semi trailer. looked awesome.
The brights light up the world. Don't plan to change the inner's with led's.
I'll just leave this right here.
Cheers

I added the projector lights a few months ago with the HID bulb. The light pattern had a dead spot in it and making the right hand round about to get on the freeway there was no light to see the shoulder. Bought new lights and bulbs and replaced yesterday. the pattern looks way better and I went with the LED on both drive and brights. The look is not as cool as the Halos but I can live with it if it works better.. the bulb is bright white 6500k I believe.. No tests yet but hope to get a good dark drive tonight for a few minutes.

What brand do you now have installed?

Drove into Justin's Diamond J Rv in Tucson a couple of nights ago. Come on it's just another 40 miles :facepalm:
Anyway first real test with the new lights. LEDs are way better than the originals. No one flashed their brights.
I will replace & rewire the inner hi beams, then should be good for awhile.

Hi Chris
Yup, as a friend of mine said ' You can fry the paint off the car ahead on brights.' :o

Accidentally hit this saguaro with my brights. >:D

After reading this thread I bought some overpriced LED bulbs from Amazon and had MOT stick them in while I was there this week. 

I didn't get out of there until after 6:00 and planned to drive a couple of hours before stopping.  Driving after dark was so pleasurable with the new LEDs that I drove until about midnight before stopping.    They are about as good as those on my Escalade and I didn't think anything would be as good as them.  Not one car called for the dims and most of the trip was on two lane.

I stuck one passenger side in then realized they weren't all going to be that easy and I didn't have time to mess with it before leaving for Nach. The left side was harder to install than the right.  I think it hit something in the headlight assembly.  I didn't watch him put them in.

Some of the bases are large and will not fit without taking the light assembly apart ( on mine as they are aftermarket light assemblies)

Rick,
We have the same year coach, am I correct in that the light assembly used in the 2002 is GM...same ones used in Chevy Tahoe 2002-2003? Anyone know for sure?

Sorry DKE I just saw this.  I think I looked at a 2000 Chevy and it was 9005 and 9006 as I recall.

Hello,
I changed my halogens out with the led's and now one inner and one out one work.  I checked the plugs with a tester and don't have power.  I went to the relay (?) that is by the entrance door and removed the relay and nothing changed (???).  I had all 4 headlights working before I went to work on them.  I tried to read the owners manual and it says the fuse box is on the bed frame.  I checked that out and don't see any fuses for headlights or any other items that one would expect (ie wipers, etc).  I suspect there is a fuse somewhere that I blew but can not find it.  I have a 1996 295.  Could there be something else?

In front of the passengers feet is a removable panel and there are circuit breakers behind that panel
