You could always wire in a resistor to drop the voltage.

Same thing happened to mine. They were cheap ones from eBay with that collection of small bulbs. The new ones I got are from a seller on eBay called carxxx. They seem much brighter and look very different to the others as they seem to have true LED diodes and not small bulbs.

Hi ClarkeyWK2CRD can you give me more information on the eBay site you got the LED from. Would like to have a look at what you got and are they OK.
Thanks
Peter

Hey just a quick observation. I think the globe you have been changing is actually your high beam?

Many current model vehicles run a HID for low beam headlights and a halogen for high beam. They then run the high beam halogen at half voltage for a day running light.

Have you tried high beam since changing to the LED?
