Upgraded to V5 LED city lights from AZNOptics

Dang nice design! My older V4s developed a weird flicker and I got a new set of V5 LEDs

I'm somewhat in the same boat, about once per year... this new design is light-years better than the previous setups... so fingers crossed

I got them as soon as they came out and I thought I might have gotten some defective units as the fit was tight but they are not. The fight is nice and tight so there is no risk of them coming off loose from bumpy roads. I love them, im just waiting for 6k

I must be lucky. I haven't had to replace mine in nearly 2 years.
