LED light error

I was looking for something to add to my MC light bar and came across this one. the price was right! They are well made, 360 LEDs, LEDs on the front. Had to modify the H3 base slightly to fit my lightbar, the H3 mount wasn't the same as the original halogen bulbs but I was able to fit it and was impressed! Bright white light so intense I decided to replace the main HI/LO H4 bulb with an LED bulb so now I couldn't imagine anyone seeing me walking down the street. 3 days later, maybe 200+ miles and I noticed the right light bulb was out. Look into the lens and see the bulb hanging there with no light. Remove and note that the LED stack installation in the base of the H3 is plastic, not epoxy or silicone. The only thing holding the LED block to the base is the pressure and the ground wire. Seeing that I could use a soldering iron I took a piece of thicker copper wire and attached it. Let's see how long this lasts, when I looked at the left lightbulb it also started to go out and I'm sure I'll keep fixing it. Next time I will turn the repair into a two step process: 1) Solder the copper wire to the LED, then either silicone or epoxy insert the LED block into the base and allow to cure. 2) After the silicone or epoxy has cured, solder this copper wire to the H3 base. Agree with others who say the positive plug is THIN and I had to cover the socket with pliers to make a solid connection.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
