I bought them and tried to install but the LED didnt match up with the holes for the rings so i took them off and didnt have time to mess with it again. I did take the screws out that hold the LED to the base and turned them 1/4 so hopefully they line up now. Car is in the shop so cant install now but i have Friday off, planning on doing it then.

Thanks for the update, hopefully you'll get good results.

Here are some pics, i had to adjust the bulbs a 1/8 turn so that they will line up with the holes. Not too bad, i like it better than stock. It's no LUX but it just cost me $20 from ebay.

They're $25 now, but even then they're still at least a better color than the stock yellow. Do they appear to be any brighter? Did you do a side-by-side like pics above?

Just so everyone knows don't buy the LUX H8 V5 adjustable color bulbs. The bulb uses two different LEDs to create the adjustable color. It causes a striped effect within the halos. So the only setting that won't cause an issue is the 5.1k I purchased the LUX 7k 160 instead and used the V5 in my fog lights.

The first pic is stock right and led left.
I increased the intensity of them with Carly app so i don't know how bring they are versus stock. My stocks were also increased.

I've never used iCarly app...I'm sure it varies between user, but I've heard of way too many fried FRM3 modules from voltage issue. Either way I'd hope the LED was brighter than a halogen bulb and the LED color is better regardless, so hopefully I win the bid. Thanks for finding out for us.

Well here we are 4 months till install and just this morning one of the LED bulbs burned out. That didnt last long lol. I will be getting something different.

Anyone tried different color, like red maybe?

Before you jump off and buy noe bulbs, make sure to inspect that when you were installing the last set you did not damage the wires and the bulbs or ballasts are not shorting out.

Just a thought.
