I used cheap eBay yellow leds and no codes until one started burning out, so it can tell if it was too low current.
Replaced with a different ebay h8 led and no problems since. That was 2 years ago.

I'm running the LUX H8s. Dont waste your money.

To get two halos evenly lit and bright is to retrofit with an LED ring instead of using the OEM clear acrylic optic to "transport" the light to the outer ring. You would need to open the headlight obviously. But that's the look you want.
