Best LED's on the Market! Who Needs HID's?!
#81
Thanks dude! I'm about to go install them now at 3:30am haha. But when I opened them both of the little clips the adapter thing plugs into are broken at the bottom where they clip in to make a tight connection *shrugs*. I have them in there pretty snug and I don't think they'll wiggle out but, maybe it was just some bad luck on my part. I'll report back once I have them in!
I did a quick search, and the only light I could find that sounded like what you're describing was an H4 bulb. Our cars do not take an H4 bulb, but thanks for the heads up!

About 1/4th down the screen they show the 3rd, 4th and 5th Gen Cree bulbs.
It looks like both sites are owned by the same person/company.

They're available at Autolumination.com or http://www.superbrightbulbs.com/headlights.htm

So $140 for the lights + $10 for shipping (5-10 business days) = $150. If someone wants to pay 234% more money for a 33% increase in lumens, AND have to mess with mounting a ballast somewhere, AND wait 5-10 days for them to arrive, then by all means. Personally, I'll stick with my Frosty Fogs.
Looking at the light shining off the garage with just the 9006 foglamps on the cutoff to me isn't impressing me at all. My halogen or HIR bulbs had nearly as sharp a cutoff as my Low beam HID. In fact, my foglamp cutoff is actually lower than my low beam HID, but much wider

Ordered mine on monday, still haven't got them. Hopefully they show up today.
Frosty, the only email i ever got was the confirmation of the order, do they normally send you tracking info or an email telling you they shipped?
Thanks

Mine arrived yesterday so I'll be installing at some point this weekend and snapping some comparison pics with my Nokya fogs for those that asked

OK got my LEDs today and I am sorry to say that they are not plug and play for H3, H1. You got to butcher the connector to make them work or buy a harness. I chose the second route...
#101
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing them.
#102
One last Q, are these high/low beam? they appear to lack the high beam wire...
#104
Houston, we have a problem, despite the claim of being H1, these are clearly NOT H1 bulbs...
way too long to fit in housing and not even the right base to top it all off so they will not work regardless.

Looks like a 9004 or 9007 to me.
Just so you guys know, the Osram Sylvania bulb replacement guide is not 100% correct.
There has been a couple of cars that I've searched to find bulb sizes and the interior bulb size that is listed on the website would be completely different than what's actually in the car. I'm sure the same can happen to exterior turn signals, brake lights, head lights.
Some bulbs actually have the bulb type printed on it. Try looking around the base of the bulb you might see the text that has the bulb type and wattage as well as manufacturer name on it.

Honestly, your old bulb does not look like an H1 at all. Are you sure that's what you needed? Check out this diagram and this Sylvania bulb guide. I think you needed 9007 for the "Dual Beam Headlight Bulb" as Sylvania calls it.

I did a quick search on the Sylvania bulb guide, and it looks like the '03 Legacy uses an H3 bulb for the fogs. So you could replace both your main headlights (H1), as well as your fog lights (H3) with these LEDs.
so either these are not H1 bulbs or the lighting guide is wrong. I know what my VIN says for my car, 2003 Legacy Limited Edition Sedan.
Looked on Napa and they show similar results. Anyways we once I figure out what bulbs these are, I we can just swap them out. for the right ones.
Finally yanked the bulb and it states
EIKO DOT
HB5 9007 12V 65/55W
So the lighting guide was wrong...

H1 usually for fogs as I know
2003 Legacy uses HB5 for heads which is 9007
You need 9007

Fog Light Bulb H3
High Beam Headlight Bulb 9005
Low Beam Headlight Bulb H1
only the GT has separate high/low beam bulbs If I buy some GT headlamp housings, then I could use these for low beam...

That just proves my point. Osram sylvania website is not 100% accurate.
If you have access to the car its best to check it first yourself. If you don't have access to said vehicle than use autozone or oreilly website to look up your vehicle bulb size and see if it matches with Sylvania website

If you do not mind, ask him how do I go about returning these? I am keeping the H3 bulbs for the fogs
#114
Awesome!
Must say I am impressed! These were way brighter than my HIDs! They are also whiter than my 5k hids which is great because they look a lot cleaner and match the OEM HIDs near perfect! Thank you Frosty for this great find

did anyone elses led bulb not fit in snug? i can still move mine around a bit and i can get it to fit in a couple different ways. right now its horizontal, which i think is correct but i can also get it to fit vertically. looking at the instructions, it show the plug on the bottom when installed. when i try to put it in with the plug on the bottom, it wont snap in at all. right now the plug is a the 5 oclock position, looking at it from the back.
im installing this in an accord btw, so its the same bulb. its says 9005/6 on it.

If the accord fog housing is anything like the TL's, it's kind of a strange design how the bulb twists in. There are 3 screws that the bulb tabs go behind when you twist it into place. Make sure those screws are in all the way for the tightest fit. My plugs are facing up and in towards the engine (both sides).
Anyways I have it where the light is horizontal, I backed up about 5 feet and light is scattered everywhere. Worst than my hids. Do I still have it on incorrectly? Are the LEDs suppose be on top of each other? Which I how I have mine right now. Or are they left and right of each other?

^ Every diagram I saw shows one LED on top and one LED on the bottom like this
