I cut the factory twist lock things down and reinstalled them onto the LEDs...they are in there solid now. I also had 9005 style bulbs in my fog lights..i reinstalled the factory ones and maybe that will solve something with the LEDs flickering and getting brighter when i turn the fogs on

This is for the 05+ lights on an 05+ Truck also?

For those looking for before and after photos look for my thread. I'm on mobile so I won't be able to find it to link. Miles was unable to get before/after shots. Mine aren't great, but its something. With the headlights on its hard to look at the truck from up close without squinting. Somethin that wasn't an issue with the old headlights.

Ive got some decent 250 lumen flashlights they do work well. I almost went hid a few years back untill people quit talking about how wonderful they were and started complaining about them. I just want something brighter that I can rely on and not have to worry about frying the wiring from over amping or a balast blowing etc. The stock head lights just suck when watching for wild life in rutting season.

with the LEDs it a voltage & current regulator.
But the LEDs should draw less current.

I have a good quality LED flashlight and headlamp ( 
) and they both shine further than any other flashlight i have. These definitely shine further than the stock halogen headlights, and the pure white light is easier to see things
I just wish my truck didn't suck
