Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ Auxbeam H13 9008 LED Light Bulbs: 8000LM 6500K Cool White, F-S3 Series with Fan & EMC - Pack of 2 by Robert Toomey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The bulbs appear to be loose, but it's actually an O-ring.

**Update** I got a reply from auxbeam. They suggested that I rotate the bulb so the 6 o'clock wiring is on the heatsink to fix the loosening issue and align the bulb properly. I haven't tried this as it doesn't fix the "loosening" bulb. I found that there is an o-ring under the black twistlock so I no longer have to worry about condensation. I installed them on Liberty 2012. I need a relay decoder. On the first try, I oriented the bulb so that the bright LED was facing down. This alignment causes the bright lights to rise and fade as if there were no light. I turned up the bright LEDs and reflected the light almost to fog level. This brought me back to the "bright" setting and added a little more light to the normal setting. *"First review** I just installed it today. The rotation tabs are a bit smaller than usual but they work. The lamp seemed dim. I've searched all over the internet and only found one YouTube video with a similar problem. With I figured out the problem with the double o-ring. The tolerance between the actual bulb and the black plastic screw cap is too great for a single screw to hold in place. That single point of contact makes the bulb feel loose, even when it is black screw cap is fully engaged. Thus the lamps are "locked" but it appears they are not. My concern is that now condensation will get into the lens. I thought of tape the lamp housing with tape to see if that would help but not sure how hot they get ***Additional Installation Upgrade*** FYI it's ungla Usually easier to remove the twist lock from the bulb, clip it halfway into the headlight, and then insert the bulb to align it. When you have found the optimal point of the light bulb, pay attention to the position in the screw cap. Take the anti-twist device and bulb out of the headlight as a unit. Locate the hole for the set screw and turn the dial back one position from the marked lamp position. This step will ensure that the bulb is as close to your alignment as possible when screwing it into the headlight. Install and tighten the set screw and reinstall the bulb into the headlight. The lamp is now individually configured for your headlight. It will never be 100% aligned due to the 3-way lighting, but you will get close enough. My wires ended at the 12 o'clock position.
