Looks great. And those are reflector low beams?I just installed all four Diode Dynamics headlight bulbs. The low beam fit perfectly but I had to “clearance” around where the dust cover attaches to the back of the housing to get the high beam bulbs to lock in. Not a big deal to me. A few minutes with a dremel and it’s all good.
The driver side housing with these throws a crisp pattern. It appears to me that the passenger side reflector housing throws light all over the place. I did make sure the bulbs are horizontal. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with them so far. I didn’t log any road miles because, well, I had a few cold ones.
A comparison shot before it got too dark. DD bulb in the pass side, but without the housing pushed into place completely. OE halogen drivers side.
Low beam pattern. I’ll probably need to bring it down a bit more, but it’s past dinner time.

I am so bummed out. I received my DD LED bulbs and immediately took them to my '17 Expy to install. They would not lock in. I tried and tried but no luck. It appears as though the dimension between the bottom of the locking tabs and the top of the plastic base is just a little too short. I know I could dremel it but I don't know how thick the base plastic is and don't want to open up the base to water intrusion. I have emailed DD and am waiting a reply.

This is typical, I know they will fit and they will be tight. I had same issue, you really have to work them into the grooves with finesse and be gentle.I am so bummed out.
