    Yup took the rubber socket off re positioned it and it's gone. I'm taking the LED's out anyway and putting my Sylvania ZXE Bulbs back in and bought new rubber seals to boot

    Going to rub my dick beaters on them for a bit to satisfy my curiosity on manufacturer since supposedly I was totally wrong before..

    (I know I am right..)


    Then I'll do a no holds, straight talk review. That's my main goal. Maybe see if I can armchair improve the horrible scatter.

    No real timeline on it since it'll be a bit of a garage chair project and #dadlife, but got a perfect spot for beam comparisons on the wall of a large concrete commercial building.

    So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

    I await the results bro. I love the brightness, but definitely not the scatter. And to me when you hit the high beams, send like the light output lessens

    Not much for updates? I'm guessing these ended up being just as bad as all the others before? I've come to the conclusion that all these supposed "brighter" lights are all gimmicks. First, if they were actually brighter, they would most likely be illegal. All you really get is a different color of light output that tricks the eye into thing it is brighter. I've decided to run a "whiter" bulb in fogs aimed down in the dark spot caused by lifting with "on anytime mod" and a 3200k halogen in headlamp. While they don't match, the reflective quality of the white fogs lights still light up the signs and everything and I get the distance of the yellowish color headlights in wet conditions without blinding oncoming traffic.

    Brighter does not mean more glare. It is impossible with our current LED technology to make a LED bulb that accurately mimics a halogen bulb, and that is the primary cause of glare and the reason why it is illegal.

    I gave mine away to another member to test. They were brighter, but scattered. Went back to my other bulbs.

    Not many updates because there is not much to say, they work great for me and other testers, the real test is to see how long they last. My current update is they are good
