Review on Harness Improved Visibility with HIKARI 2021 Acme-X 9007/HB5 LED Bulbs – Ultra Brightness, Wider Driving Vision, Halogen Replacement, 6K Cool White IP68 Foglight by Jim Cronin

This is my second Hikari product. I used to put Hikari Eye of Megatron headlights in a car with headlights. I had installation problems with this installation and also with these versions of Acme-X 2021. These lamps work in such a way that there is a removable ring. This ring is built into the lens, and then a lightbulb is built into the ring. The bulb and ring are interlocked to lock the bulb in place against possible vibration. This will ensure that the 3/9 o'clock position is maintained. The problem is that on my 2019 Colorado and 2000 VW Jetta, the headlight rings and lenses don't mate properly. For a conventional H1/H7 halogen lamp or others, the orientation does not matter as long as the light is emitted evenly all around. The Hikari lens and retaining rings have positioning slots that allow the ring to be synced in only one specific orientation. At this particular time, the bulb cannot be rotated to the "locked" position. The headlight still works great and the 3/9 position can be reached. I had no problems with vibration when moving. As far as brightness goes, it's Monsters. Every dream you can hope for will come true of how bright these lights are. I've had my Eye of Megatron lights installed (the dust cap covered them) for a year now and haven't had any overheating issues. I expect my new ACME-x to last just as long, although its new design is yet to be seen. I tried to be the bad guy when I installed the LEDs in reflector housings for a 2000 Jetta. However, the shape and direction of the beam here was just awful. This is the result of improper use of LEDs. In my old setup with the Megatron Eye (in projector lenses) I didn't have any radiation pattern problems. The image of the new 9007 ACME-x lamps is perfectly directed if the reflector housing is not installed correctly. The lamp on the left was a great lamp, much brighter than the stock lamp but clearly couldn't compete with the new LED.
