I was inquiring about the new F1 LED Kit from Putco after reading about the Heat issue with the Headlights. The F1 offers a new innovative COB LED, a miniaturized driver, and the #1 thermal solution available.
F1 LED Kit Carid has this listed for a 2005 Chevy SSR. First, is it a direct fit? Second, are these bulbs cool whereas the HID run very hot.
Here is their response:
Thank you for contacting Putco. All of our LED kits are meant to be direct replacements per bulb type/size (ie 9005, H11, H10 etc). They are not vehicle specific. If your vehicle calls for an H11 for example, and you purchase an H11 kit, we can guarantee it will connect to your factory housing and plug and work as it should, but cannot guarantee the size fitment for your headlamp assembly. Each bulb may be too large or certain vehicles may have something in the way that prohibits full insertion of the bulb.
Yes, our LED kits run only about 125-130 degrees and they are much more efficient at cooling themselves compared to an HID.
