@degeja the led with the fan, what did you do for the light cover? Do you just leave it off? Man the low beams even putting passenger side back in was a pain in the *****, can’t see ****

degeja

The one I used funally was same size almost as the Halogen. Fit the same and the cover replaced as originally installed.

I feel for you. Went thru all that advertizing by various ones for months.

I give up, I tried few brands that all flicker, thanks everyone for help this car is just not having it

@degeja is this the one your talking about? What makes these not blink?

degeja

That one worked in my 2016 hi beams.

What other brands did you try??

degeja

The car works must have built in resisters(or something) -- it says it uses 30 watts ;
standard H7 halogens are 55 amps.
Most other LED brands are much less power; ie Auxito is 16 amps.
Most other LEDS only work without causing the bulb out alarm if adapters or resisters are also installed. The resusters increase the current draw. The light bulb out warning apparently works by sensing low current in the wiring to a bulb.
I installed resisters on a previous car (2012 E350) with different brands (troed several) LED that have low current load like AUxito.

The Car Work was the only one I found to work right out of the box without adapters, resisters or anything.
True plug and play.

Some LEDs worked but the light output was worse than the Halogens-- even though they advertized 20000 lumens or 6 times halogens-- was just hype.
Couldnt see to even drive thru the neighbrhood.

typically an LED will use 10% of the power of a Halogen at the same brightness, but these replacement car lamps have to have load resistors to 'fool' bulb-out sensors (commonly misnamed as CANbus). These load resistors add watts

The car work box w/ conversion kit blinks to, this is crazy idk what to do with this

Went thru that on my 2012 for months, finally put in resisters in low beams. Did have spare H7 halogens in between trials.
And the LED that finally worked with resusters wasnt much better than the halogem. ANd resisters in parralel mounted in the fenders isnt easy to do.
THE Lasfit worked fine on the high beams in the 2012-- had a kit in between the wiring and bulb.
My 2016 has low beams LED standard and are really good.

The car works are 30 amp but since they still flicker in you car I looked around and the Amazon Novsight H7 70 16000 Lumens might work.
They also list a couple with 50 watts but lower lumens.

Many LEDs dont list the amps.

I ordered lasfit resister, supposedly it’s brand new model , if this don’t work I’m giving up and getting standard halogen, should be in by Wednesday or Thursday….. I’ll keep you posted

degeja

Saw ine new LASFIT H7 on Amazon with 50 watts-- just might work direct plug & play.
