Careful not to replace halogen bulbs and install these in the standard reflector light housings.

LEDs do not produce the proper light pattern in a reflector housing or even some projector housings. You can also get ticketed for it.

Oh .. . they will l@@k bright and flood the area in front of the car with lot's of bright, white light. .. . but you will also be blinding oncoming drivers.

And don't depend on " . . . Been using the LEDS now for 2 weeks and haven't been flashed! "
Most people will not flash you if they are being blinded. These days... they are concerned that the guy they flash will have a gun and shoot out their headlights. . or worse. :D

If you are conserned about that, we also sell Diode Dynamic led headlights that are designed and tested for reflector housing use [emoji16]

That are some of the best ones on the market currently,run about $150 a set.

They also have absolutely insane light bars that's are dot approved for fog light use

Yes. . familiar with the new Diode Dynamics SL1 LED. Have not seen too many who have detailed reports of using them with reflector housings.

They indeed do seem to be the best retrofit Halogen-to-LED out there.

I have LEDs in my 2017 Sonic in the projector housing and surprisingly, I had to adjust the headlights upward about 3/4 turn on each side. Even the stock Halogen lights that came with it were aimed pretty low with the cut off practically bumper level behind most cars 50 feet in front of me. I aim the headlight using the standard 30 foot space, level and at a wall . Then follow up with some real world driving. I've found the cutoff should touch trunk lid level to maybe just below the rear window area when driving 50' to 60' behind someone on level streets when properly aimed. Any higher and will likely be blinding on coming drivers even if you do not get "flashed".

Also, when using LEDS, spurious upward light spread should be checked. Some is necessary to see highway signs, etc. But too much and it will scatter and again, blind oncoming traffic.

Be safe.

So I have had these installed for a few weeks now, they are a good upgrade over the stock headlights. Haven't had any drivers flash their high beams at me. Unfortunately, last night one of them is now flickering. I'm guessing there is a bad LED or two on it. How can I get an RMA process started?
