Actually, I was wondering if I drive with my high beams on with these LEDs installed, will it affect oncoming traffic? I'm leaning towards thinking it won't because, when I stand in front of the lights, I can't really see any significant light output from the LEDs.

Any thoughts?

Just file down the bulb for the driver's side. It'll fit all right if you do that. These DO flicker, btw, unlike what AAC has said. They look great with the high beams on though.

yeah, i finally got it to snap it, well at least one side (the other just half clocked). Anyways, i file everything that you can imagine to get the damn things barely go in. It took me two hours, i almost throw them away and call it good, but after many times saying to myself, just one more time. Well, it finally go in but very tight, i mean really tight; so i dont know if i can get them out later on.
Like ApoK said, it flickers like crazy, but still better than stock DRL. I dont know if i want to say i recommended it. ACCstyle is not responsive.
Good luck to those have ordered them!

I'm with Kuki ... I wouldn't recommend these. They have fitment and flickering issues.

We are not aware of any fitment problems, we have now installed these bulbs on several 2IS without a problem.

The only thing I can tell you to watch is that on one of the bulbs there was a spot on the base of the aluminum pedestal where some of the adhesive was squeezed out on bulb assembly and that little bit made the bulb a tight fit. You can pick it off with your fingernail if this is the case.

Of course AAC is going to claim that nothing flickers, but there have been a few members that have had this problem...

In all truth thats the reason why I have not placed an order.

there are couple members who are claiming that they are having problem with the FITMENT and that it FLICKERS..

I don't know why AAC is not admitting the fact that there is a fitment problem and stop telling us that it doesn't flicker

yeah, i noticed on my AAC bulbs that there were a few globs of adhesive on the rubber o-ring. i just removed them with a small screwdriver, and i have no fitment issues. i DO, however, have even worse flickering with these than with my previous v-leds...

but they are hella bright, so they are staying in.

yeah i can take a picture when i get a chance, but wouldnt there be a problem with keeping the highbeams on, since our headlights are bi-xenon?

Glad to hear you didnt have a problem with fitment. The flickering is happening in DRL mode correct? What year do you have? is it a 250 or 350?

Also, just to be clear: the 9005 is not a loose fit. You need to push the bulb hard enough that the o-ring seats then you can turn and lock the bulb into place.
