    Has anyone found another brand of headlight leds that are worth the purchase other than the opt 7's?

    But I am having an issue changing out the driver side fog light. I can't get the bulb housing to turn far enough to remove out of the socket.it seems as if you have to remove the bumper. There is a heavy metal bar that is part of the frame that holds the radiator in place. Anyone change the fog lights out and had a similar issue or better yet a solution?

    If anyone is thinking about changing the incandescent bulbs to LEDs then "you must" have CANBUS bulbs for the exchange. I found this out the hard way. I ordered about half with And half without depending on the area of the bulb.

    I noticed when I put in the bulbs without the CANBUS that they continued to stay on and emit a very low beam of light or flicker even when the car was completely off and locked. Even though the power draw is so low, I'm afraid that it will eventually drain my battery.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    My interior led bulbs stay lit.....more of a really soft glow, when off. I have had them in for about 3 months with no adverse effects.

    I have LED fogs and headlights are on the way. No issues and the light output is excellent. I can post a link if you'd like. 20161231_174110.jpg 20161231_101131.jpg 20161231_101947.jpg

    Did you have trouble with your driver side fog light? Meaning did you have trouble trying to remove the original fog light from the light housing just to even remove the bulb? I was easily able to do the passenger but I can't seem to be able to twist the light itself far enough to remove it. It seems to be part of the frame is up against the light itself preventing the removal of the bulb from the housing let alone replacing it with the led. So I've been driving around with one LED installed and the other still an incandescent...

    Sorry to hear that. I didn't have any issues changing them out. Have you been able to look in the access panel to see exactly what's stopping you from turning the bulb?

    The hardest part I had was I stripped my access panel screws and had to peel back my wheel liner to get it. But they were in pretty tight too
