They change so quickly, I’ve run three and four sided versions, as for brand name they also change quickly, search eBay, the four sided set I have now, were under 50.00

I'm running Morimoto 2Stroke H13,s, 5700k. 2 sided and not cheap, but I like them.
Also put Morimoto 2Stroke, 9005's in my fog lights
Stay below 6000k or they project a blue light.

Led headlights

I've been searching the site and everywhere else for this problem but can't figure it out.. I now have 2 sets of different brands of led headlights that are doing the same thing. So I know it's not the lights. They have sent me decoders to try and load resistors, and they also said to try together. But all i can get to work is the high beams. Even when the car is on low beam setting.They said the highbeam circut is returning to ground? I've tried to change wiring around but that's not working either. I put halogens back in and they work fine. But with the LEDs they stay on high beam. I just read somewhere on a Toyota site about changing the wiring on one bulb is all that needs done. Just looking for some advice. Thank you

Did you purchase H13's or H11's?
Mine plugged in and worked with no issues.
Not all brands work with the HHR. Did you check for compatabiblity?
Next step is to notify manufacturer.

Causing any other issues?

yes they are h13. Been working with manufacturers to try and solve issue. Now I just noticed I have a bad connection on harness. Going to repair tomorrow and go from there.
