    Has anyone try connecting 2 led light source to one mictuning switch? I want to use just one switch for my 30inch led light bar and my ditch lights.

    I highly recommend you mark the original position with a Sharpie. You shouldn't turn it more than 1/2-1 revolution.

    You can also stick a long thin flat head screwdriver down that groove and grab those teeth on the adjustment knob. I found that much easier than the nut on the passenger side.

    My original position came marked from the factory with yellow paint marker, looks like in the photo above it also was.

    It's super hard to see that yellow when you're working on the dark with a flashlight...at least it was for me. :)

    I bought the newest version of the Hikari LED lights, needless to say rather disappointed. I installed the driver's side bulb and was able to easily jiggle it around with my hand. The seal was tight but the bulb was moving in the collar. Tightening the screws helped but I was able to get it moving again so I'm pretty sure the road was not going to be nice to these. Anybody else have this problem? The other bulb seemed better but I was already jaded by the driver's side installation. I am waiting for a response from Hikari before I decide what to do.

    That's what I figured. Amazon 1 star reviews have people with the same issue. I will probably try again later. It seems like I am always that one guy that has that one issue that nobody ever has.

    I just got their email. They offered a $10 refund to keep the shaky bulbs. Not so sure about their great customer service. I am sending the bulbs back tomorrow.

    Hmmm, that's weird. Yeah, send them back for a full refund.

    It's so odd though. They sent me a link to a page on Amazon that was for purchasing 1 bulb only and a coupon code that basically made it less than 2 bucks.

    Wonder why you got treated differently? Odd.

    I believe they are good bulbs. It's just me. I think I did really bad things when I was younger...

    Dont worry. Its completely ludicrous the struggles i have even when sonething should be sooo fu@&ing simple. Never fails.
    Just an example. I removed my tail lights to change bulbs. 1 of the tabs stayed engaged while the plastic broke off. Awesome. Just another day of changing bulbs or simple made extremely difficult.
    Whenbi mentioned it to the dealer they told me they also insert something upagainst the side of the box behind the light to push it out. Not just pull. Anyone have any experience with this?
    One of my reverse bulbs are flickering.
    I fear the removal lol
    I jb welded it back. Together lol

    Yes if you don’t add LED in the back. Reverse is ok to be LED too with LED signal bulbs, that’s my setup and no hyper flash.
