My leds work no issues but for some reason my driver's side you can't see while driving but both are on. Has anyone had this issue or may know what it is?

I was thinking that maybe to the side (towards the passenger side) they were fine when we put them in almost two years ago after buying it. Just recently doing this

you're missing any bleed off on the driver side, the light is not installed properly or it is not working. If you look at it head-on, it should be just as bright. I had a car with a similar issue, the bulb was not installed properly, but I did have some bleed off, so if i pulled up to a garage or wall i could clearly see both lights working.

What do you mean by bleed off? Both lights are on and both the same brightness.

Are these factory LED lights, or did you take out halogen bulbs and replace with aftermarket LEDs?

Took out the halogen but these fit right in the spot supposedly. They've been in for a year and a half at least. Noticed this a few months ago

LED light output pattern doesn’t match that of halogen, so you’ll never get great results putting them in halogen housings. Also, LEDs are notorious for performing poorly in projectors that aren’t designed for them.

At least having projectors, you’re not blinding oncoming traffic like the a$$hats who put LEDs in halogen reflector housings. But you’re not doing yourself any favors, either.
