Same response, although honestly, only took 30 seconds to answer the questions so I'm not too terribly offended.

Not sure how accurate the specs are, but to my eye, they appear brighter than the stock halogen high beam bulbs and close to as bright as the OEM low beam LED lights. May be that the LED color temperature make them appear brighter than they are. Here is a picture I just took in the dark to try...

vleds.com http://www.vleds.com/bulb/h-series/h11/5k-white-22w-led-headlights-fog-lights-h11-1-pair.html I have seen them on ebay as well in H7/H11

I tried some 22w H11 single LED bulbs to replace the halogen high beams and have to say I am quite impressed. The original halogen bulbs looked very yellow and were dimmer than the low beam LED stock lights. I had tried some 68 LED H11 bulbs before but they were not bright enough to work as...

I like them, looks great with the silver.

I completely agree with your data points. My dash efficiency numbers closely resemble yours.

I like 18's on the Leaf aesthetically, I put 225-45-18's on a set of Mazda take offs. The speedometer went from reading 2mph over actual speed to 1 mph under actual speed at 70 mph. The tires I installed are AA traction rated so they are soft compound with increased friction. As a result I've...

......when you feel out of touch for not knowing how much a gallon gas costs......what is the cost of regular these days? I honestly don't know. :o

I'm a fan of 18's for sure. Did you put LRR or high traction/performance tires and did you notice much of a hit in range? I put some 18's with some high traction performance tires on mine and I seem to have lost some range (~15%) even taking in account the larger diameters effect on the...

Things to cheer: I have not been to a gas station in almost 2 years, not even for a Slurpee. I have beaten every car that pulls up along side me in a race from light to light (I don't race farther than 100 yards or so) Carpool Lane (except I'm bumming over the 10 Fastrak lanes) Quiet...

Big improvement in wet handling. Drove in rain today with the wider ZR (new to me-used) tires and at least a 100% improvement. Even accelerating on corners, little or no wheel spin.

The offset on the 18" Mazda rim, I believe is 52mm which was really close to the caliper, so I put 5mm spacers on the fronts only. The rears were no problem.

Link was OK but I had to change settings in picasa, should work now.

I up-sized to 225 ZR 18 tires and rims off a MazdaSpeed3. The improvement in handling was phenomenal, however the hit to efficiency was almost as phenomenal as well. On my daily 32 mile one way 70 mph freeway commute, I went from requiring 6 bars to now using 7-8 bars. I feel like the braking...
