I would avoid these

Well, that's not at all the normal quality of auxbeams. I've bought a few things from auxbeam and have always been impressed, but this just sucks. They don't fit at all. They were so loose I had to use the gasket from the original bulbs with the gasket on to hold them in place. You use a set screw to hold the retaining ring on the bulb. The retaining ring is really poorly made and too big for the main body of the LED so it's very loose. These bulbs rattle and eventually the retaining ring breaks. Also, the connector is too small or something because it was an absolute nightmare to plug it in. I ended up having to remove the waterproof seal from the connector on my car to connect it. But the most annoying thing is that they are connected incorrectly. The high and low elements are set back. They have LEDs in the same place as the filaments in a halogen bulb, so they work best with your lamp body designed for halogen bulbs. Both LEDs light up the high beam as they should, but the low beam function turns on the high beam LED, so the light pattern in the low beam is too high. I unplugged and plugged it in properly and now the light image is good, close in low beam and bright and far in high beam as it should be. But with the poor fit and poor quality of the locking rings, I don't expect them to last long. I would avoid these.

Pros
  • Inspiring
