Lightbulb Ebay LED low beam/high beam DIY

Don't really want to blow $1k to have cool looking headlights? Tired of those stock halogen bulbs? You tryna be a ricer a blind some drivers on the road?

Well I'm here to help!

Things you need:
1x pair of ebay 9003 LED bulbs, a set with a heatsync and fan
1× cutting utensil (not a razor blade, cutting pliers recommended)
1x latex glove
Exact pair bought
Arrival
Packaging
Wrapped in that bubble
Quality check
The tip
Fan
Mid install i realized this rubber gasket wasn't going to fit, so i knew some adjustments had to made. I basically cut at each fold until the gasket was snug around the heat sync
The final hole size🍩
I will cover the connectors later to protect from water.
Matches my ebay fogs🍑
Also, hella brighter than the halogen

High beam. Water was being sprayed 🙄
Clean look. Notice, no orange lights 😘
You done player! Enjoy being "that guy" on the road ✌🏽

I'm betting the horizontal cutoff on these bulbs is non-existent. A few of us have bought LED faux-jectors from
Amazon Amazon
with pretty good results:

Hey, those look similar to the first set of LED bulbs I tried, they were very bright and because there wasn't a sharp upper cutoff, the only way to avoid blinding people was to aim them way lower than the halogen bulbs. Ended up switching to whichever bulbs have the goofy flexible fan shaped heatsink, and the arrangement of the LED elements was the same shape as the halogen. Sharp upper cutoff, and I was able to adjust the lights back to normal.

If my current set fails any time soon, I might try the mini projector setup, looks good.
