    It’s not uncommon I’ve seen this on reviews with other bulbs. Will see when I get them tomorrow.

    I’ll be returning them for sure if they aren’t any different from the original Hikari.

    So far chrome removal, darkened tail lights, fender flares, and tints
    SO FAR the Lasfit's @Parker315 suggested seem to work right. But how do you to the fog light!?!?

    Here are two YouTube Videos that can help. No need to remove anything to replace bulbs. If anything at all the grille can be removed to help with ease. You can literally reach down there and pull out the old and put in the new.

    Thanks x3! That's what I get for trying to switch them last night. I couldn't see the fog bulbs. All switched now though!

    I didn't have to do anything from behind/underneath...and that was for both sides. I was surprised how easy it came out.

    First look and initial impressions.

    The new Hikari seem a lot brighter and seems to have more of a direct concentrated beam rather than scattered light. It definitely seems like the light out put will be further. The real test comes tonight after dark.

    New Hikari on the left and AuxBeam F-16 on the right. (1st photo)

    I’ve taken the AuxBeam F-16’s that were in the low beams and put those in the fog lights. Took the AuxBeam S2’s out completely for now. Old Hikari are in the High beams.

    You are the Man! I can't wait to see the results of these out on the road. Look how much darker the area around the light on the wall got with both sides the same. The definition is incredible. I think what that will translate to in the snow will be a more defined pattern that illuminates the roadway and not so much the surrounding area around the vehicle. I Like It!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nice job Brett!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
