^^^good call on the resistor. I ordered my KDTV set initially without it and having to hit the high beams first gets annoying.

Added the resistor later and it's smooth as butta... definitely worth checking the box

I've had mine in for about 3 - 4 months. They are a God send. The C5 lights were horrible as several people have mentioned. I have not had any problems with anything breaking so far. The clarity of the road in front of me is great. We drove from Indiana to south of Nashville to our son's house and drove all around there. Not once did anyone flash their lights at me and I was able to drive unfamiliar roads with ease. The only issue I'm having is radio interference. I've tried ferrite coils but I still have static if it is not a really strong station. Even with the static I absolutely love the lights. The resister worked great too. Thanks

^ welcome to the forum. I've not heard of a correlation of the KDTV and radio static, try posting a thread in the audio section to see if they have ideas on fixing the issue

That pic made me like the rounds, but definitely not more than the squares.

Still gives off Toy Story vibes to me. Love my squares and I'll tell anyone who wants to listen about how great they are, as you know...

Default Spain/EU Approval

Hi folks,

this is my first post this awesome forum .

I live in Spain and I would like to know if anyone has these lights homologated or have passed a technical inspection of vehicles, which here has to be done every year.

Off course, any other country in Europe works for me, and thus seek equivalence in the regulation.

I personally think the rounds surprised me that I actually liked them at all but...I'm with you...squares for me. I had a lot of people ask for them, so I made it happen but...I'm stayin squares personally.

I'm just excited for whatever fog light development you have coming... and the bezels of course.

2023 is going to be great.

I'm loving the round. For me, the square look old and outdated, the round are looking timeless, and fit the look much better. But, again, thats my ideas. Thanks for providing both. I wish you the best for 2023!,,,,
