Howdy!

I've had my oracle LED bulbs in my headlights for 6 months or so and I love them. However, I can see a hint of pulsing when its really dark outside and pretty much pulses when the engine is on. If does not flicker on and off, just a pulse.

I put in the resistors when i installed them, but has anyone who has ordered and installed seen this?

It's these in the link below:

Predictable, with aftermarket LED lights. The heat buildup from the sealed headlights will cause this to happen. I read up on this happening, with almost every maker out there, that has been out for a while. That is why i installed Philips H13+100 Halogen bulbs. Around $30, very bright, and zero issues. I have used them in other vehicles I own before this.

Have you thought about getting a refund, or have them send new ones?

Are these the bulbs you used? I've been looking for an alternative to full LED housings given that LED bulb replacements aren't legal in my state.

Ehh, fog lamps are so dim is almost not worth the effort to do anything less than add LED’s. Are you mostly looking for increased brightness or color temperature match?

I'm just trying to get rid of the yellow color until they make a good replacement housing without having to buy an adapter. But i want the fog and head light colors to match

Fair enough, I only had to look for halogen headlamps because it is illegal(ish) in my state to use led bulbs in halogen housings for headlamps specifics. I doubt anyone is going to design a light with a housing that matches up to the oem bumper because it’s just not worth the R&D.

It doesn't necessarily need to be LED i'm ok with the brightness of the halogen on both set i just want the yellow color gone. What do you recommend for a matching set ?
