    Im having issues to see if this has been discussed before. Any links? I've heard some don't fit? What fits? And who makes the best?

    Their kits come with 2 bulbs each put the same h11 kit in every thing, so it was 3 kits. Took me about 20 minutes to install but I do have a lot of experience in doing 12 volt work hence the Fire Truck I was building in the background.

    Here are the pics from my install

    Don't forget to tighten down the nut from the factory h11 plug to the power supply, the one you forget is the one on the fog light, its way down there.

    I spread the heat sync material out, it is flexible and makes it easy to get around the passenger side, no fan on this brand.

    The fogs are the challenge you have to reach down from the top and helps if you have long skinny arms like myself.

    Tried using their online retrofit tool, but it doesn't seem to work properly. Tried on chrome and edge. Any way we could get a direct link 0210?

    I agree with this statement on cheap LED replacement bulbs. i wouldn't throw OPT 7 under the bus because the FluxBeam kit seems really nice

    I can't seem to figure out how to copy the exact link, just search h11 led on Amazon, it comes up right away $99.99
