Ok got it, I bought those for the fog lights and installed them and they are sweet. I wasn't sure if they would line up correctly on the headlight but I'll order another set and give them a shot.

Working well so far. Really pleased with the light pattern and output. I almost wish I didn't put the Morimoto's in my Colorado. I think the Car Rovers would be just as good and a lot cheaper.
Just installed the car rovers. Cut off was virtually the same as the halogens. They are a little unfocused, but I don't see a way to adjust the LED's. When installed, the light isn't sitting in a manner that aligns the LED's at 3 and 9 o'clock position, They are more of a 2 and 8 position. Still far better than the halogens.
We'll see if they hold up.

If they aren't clockable (@weasel1 should know), then I would say you don't have them fully locked into the reflector.

The plug sits in the same orientation as the halogens. I'm certain they are seated correctly. But the plug doesn't face down, but off set at an angle.

My first set of CarRover's were clockable. The second set weren't. It didn't seem to effect anything though. Beam was sharper than the original set. Perhaps clocking the bulbs at 9 and 3 isn't that important? IIRC, mine ended up at the same 8 and 2 position as you @Martino2359 .

Thanks. They do look considerably better than stock.

I installed the Auxito mini’s in my low beams. The jury is still out on these. They definitely are whiter and brighter....maybe a bit too bright.
The issue I see is that I seem to have lost most of the cut off and there is a lot of light spilling over on top. The only time I’ve driven at night I didn’t get flashed but expected to. I double and triple checked they are clocked right at 3-9.
Anyone else have this potential issue with these led’s?

As I stated earlier in the thread, I believe 16k lumens is too much for this reflector housing. The 12k lumen Hikaris I had previously installed seem to throw as much as these 16k lumen Auxito but without as much glare or need for reaiming.

While the Auxito are nice, I'm sure we can find something that meets the criteria of 12k lumen with small heatsink/fan to fit under the dust caps and throw a focused beam that doesn't require reaiming the headlights.

According to the dimensions it looks like this set of LED H11 bulbs from Sylvania will fit in the housings. However, it doesn't look like the mounting surface to filament distance is quite the same so I'm anticipating possible glare if I do try these. I definitely miss the output of the Auxito bulbs and the ZXE Gold incandescent bulbs cost almost as much as the LEDs.

Agreed. If someone has the answer, please post! I like the look of the led’s just not sure if I’m going to be ok with them being too bright.

The latest set of Car Rovers I'm using fit that criteria.

OK, the Car Rover's look great for the low beams. What about the DRL function? Does it still work?

The DRL are full voltage. I opted to change to front turn lamps as DRL to save some life of the LEDs.

But why stop there ? I thought we wanted to compile a list of compatible bulbs.
Well, if the old Amazon rules still apply, if it looks the same it probably is the same. Anything that's currently listed as a "1:1" bulb should work just fine. The way I look at it is these bulbs are under $50. For those that are on the fence, get off your wallet and try a set! Amazon does have a good return policy if they don't work out the way you want :rockon:
