    I have been through BeamTech and AuxBeams LED bulbs and neither seem very bright over halogen. I brought the Auxbeams for my projector headlight and still not good.

    The AuxBeams also don't click when turning them into the socket. Has anyone experienced this before??

    I just bought the Hikari Ultra LED headlight bulbs from Amazon. They tested very well on BulbFacts. Extremely pleased with the low beam application on my Prius. At least twice as bright as the halogens! ;)

    Sound like mount rings could be stuck from the previous bulb removal, and the new bulb's ring is stacked on the old ring. Since it's not clicking into place and dimmed lights, I'd check for stuck rings next.
