2 LEDs (1 set) per headlight assembly. So you'll need 2 sets for your eyebrows, 1 set for your bumper sidemarkers, 1 set for your rear plates. If you want to get into interior, these LEDs work great for interior front footwell ambient lighting and interior trunk lighting. I'd highly recommend the footwell lighting as it looks pretty amazing sitting inside.

Any idea why this is happening

Hi Mike,

This problem just started a few weeks ago. The left side are fine.
Only the right eyelid did not shut completely off when the light switch is off. but when i turn the switch to on, the eyelid turn brighter. Do you think is a defect on the circuitry of the leds?
I attached 2 picture, one with the power off and the brighter ones are with the power on.

Do you have to completely remove the headlights to install the bulbs or can you get to them by opening the hood and doing it from the engine bay?

Search the forum. There's a DIY.

Try swapping the left and the right side to see if the issue follows the LED. If so, might be something odd with those and we can deal with warranty. If it stays with the socket, then you might have some wiring issue where voltage is bleeding through even though should be off. Let me know once you test it out.

No turn signals are available yet, but looks like you want 4 sets for your plate, brows, and sidemarkers. Prices are as follows:

4 sets of 5000K LEDs will be $65
4 sets of 8000K LEDs will be $70

Unfortunately, Hyper white isn't a actual color range, so you'll need to determine if you want 5000K or 8000K. If you're on factory bi-xenons, those are rated 4300K and my 5000K will be a better match. 5000K is more of a pure white while 8000K is more of a cool/glacier white with a tinge of blue.

Unhappy

I followed your instruction [Try swapping the left and the right side to see if the issue follows the LED. If so, might be something odd with those and we can deal with warranty. If it stays with the socket, then you might have some wiring issue where voltage is bleeding through even though should be off. Let me know once you test it out.]

The car's wiring is good. it did not leak. The problem is the leds.
i remove the right side and found out that the circuitry of the leds are brownish in color and some melting/shifting of the white square. In curiosity, i remove the left side as to test it out and found that the left side also have the same issue with the right side. so i might as well remove it and take a picture to show you. so 4 leds are damaged.

Burn off is normal, but if you have resistors shifting like that, that means the voltage plate touched the first set of resistors and they were plugged in too far. This happens with all open circuitry LED and is the number one install issue. Powered on normally, there's absolutely no way the unit would heat up past the melting point of the solder, but when the unit touches the resistor, all bets are off and the unit super heats. For those with soldering skills, this can actually be fixed by resoldering the resistor back on as none of the components actually burned out.

Even though this is an install issue, I'll warranty these and send you another set. The other side with the burn off is fine, just make sure when you plug it in, to not push it in all the way. As soon as you feel any slight resistance when inserting, pull it out to give you buffer space. Then as you go to plug it back into the socket, grip the LED and socket 50/50 to prevent accidentally jamming the LED back in too far as you ferret out the housing hole.

PM me your info and I'll take care of you.

Does the footwell lighting dim like it does with the stock bulbs? I tried Polarg bulbs in the footwells, but to me they did not look any different than the stock bulbs, so I just put the stock bulbs back in. I want something brighter than stock, but no so bright that its intrusive. How much are the footwell lights?
