    Just got these delivered today.

    One of a kind with the LED facing forward.

    I also got the high beam but they did not fit correctly so I will be returning them.

    These are around $30 in the U.S.
    Cheaper obviously in China but takes a month to get them.

    Found them on Amazon.

    Yes and they are very quiet.

    The ones I was using were loud like computer fans.

    These beam patterns are directly facing foward and concentrate the light as if they were a normal bulb.

    Nice sharp lines versus scattered everywhere like a normal LED.

    I will upload a night time picture when it gets dark out.

    Took these real quick but have not been on the road yet.

    Will try to get a better picture from further away later to get the full beam pattern. 20230322_202400.jpeg 20230322_202418.jpeg

    Here is another picture of the beam pattern.

    I must say it is a lot better than my other LED lights.

    This is without my fog lights on.

    Makes my JDM headlights less blinding to on coming traffic since they are RHD. 20230326_203334.jpeg

    Thanks for the link, finally.

    Seems like they still have a funky light dispersion (left side picture). Even the manufacturer supplied picture of the light dispersion from these units look sub-optimal. That's most likely why they seem to stress that they are to be used for "foglights only". Screenshot_20230327_073256_Chrome.jpeg

    This picture shows a terrible beam pattern. There's almost no side illumination, very narrow beam to the immediate front only.

    That would make sense because my headlights are imported fro Japan, so RHD, right hand drive.

    Also that is why I went with these so they have a forward beam pattern and not blind people on my left.

    The real question is do they have dead spots like their photos show? Or does the led intensity make for it compared to oem halogen?

    The price seems way low compared to the more popular led options.

    No dead zone with the low beam projector lens.

    Installed an Auxbeam H11 LED in the drivers side to compare with a regular halogen on the right side. In person the halogen seems to win immediately in front of the car but the LED wins from perhaps six feet out and beyond.

    Pics appear slightly more illuminated than actual - IPhone 14

    Garage from 20 feet, LED Drivers Side - White Stucco, Brown Garage Door

    Dark Asphalt street - More halogen light immediately in front of car

    About 20 feet from side IMG_1901.jpeg

    It will be interesting to see if we get flashed at night for blinding oncoming traffic.

    LED wins hands down, I used to get flashed with my old standard LED lights.

    Not anymore with these new ones and thats with my JDM headlamps so all good.

    I generally don't care for any bluish lights, I prefer the better contrast with lights in the 4300K color temp. But I have older eyes.

    I ended up replacing the Auxbeam H11 after driving a dark interstate with little side lighting from the Leds. The brightness was good but the beams had little side coverage.

    I went with these:

    Slight improvement in brightness but a dramatic improvement in side to side illumination.
