But the code D92HREZO doesn't work
You may have problems with your high beams. The 9005 usually doubles as a drl. I don't think these led bulbs can handle the drl voltage.

Incan projector is a lot better than throwing these into a reflector housing. Still won’t be ideal as the beam pattern will still be off a bit due to the LEDs not spreading light the same way as the Incan bulb. The squirrel finders on the Incan projector with LED may cause excessive glare as a result.

Forgot to say these so called LEDs are usually shit due to how blue they are which are totally useless. Want proper designed units go with Phillips.

IMO the hids/leds + halogen projectors issue is blown way out of proportion. Is the cutoff and balance as clean as oem Hid? Of course not. Is it blinding every driver in the world? Nah. The blinding is coming from reflector housings or people straight up using their high beams.

Bad headlights are bad headlights, regardless of the bulb type and how clean your cutoff line is.

IIHS tested and found that visibility is poor on most oem headlights even if they're led or hid. So much for everyone assuming that oem HID is always great.

I'm not advocating for people to put these leds in. Just tired of the holier than thou retrofit online crew. If the oem can't design an oem hid system that functions well, how does Joe blow think they can do it better by hacking some projectors off a s2k and baking their headlights on a cookie sheet in their wife's oven?

I agree, Corolla and Ford Explorers (guilty here) are blinding as hell, but no choice coming from the factory

It causes do much glare and the light distribution is all over the place.

Don't.
Exactly, stick to Halogen if that's OEM. If you want LED, buy that option with your car if offered,

Be careful with aftermarket LED bulbs. The light output can drop drastically as they heat up.

My buddy had a set which seemed to be ok. One night, he drove up north. About 1/2 up, the LEDs started to overheat and the light output started dropping. Eventually, the LEDs went very dim and he had to drive along the shoulder

Factory LED headlamps have giant aluminium heat sinks 10 times the size of these. The little cooling fans in aftermarket LEDs won’t move enough air

Looked into buying LEDs a while ago.

I've seen some LEDs have a way to adjust the angle of light so it doesn't blind oncoming drivers. I don't think this one has it.
Also read about flickering issue.

In the end, concluded not worth the hassle and just got halogens again.

These bulbs on SUVs and TRUCKS can be cause severe blinding glare to oncoming traffic.
These vehicles sit a LOT higher and the light cut off goes up even higher making it harder for everyone else on the road.

I agree, if the housing is not designed for LEDs, don't do it for the safety of others.

Its not this simple, headlights have to match a beam profile to be DOT/SAE compliant aka road legal. A headlight housing is designed to take light from a compliant bulb and direct it in a legal way to illuminate the road while not blinding oncoming drivers. LEDs do not have the same beam profile as a Halogen so the beam profile will be screwed up if you retrofit it.
OEM LED headlights have reflectors designed for the LED that is being used hence they can be road legal and can in fact work better then halogen if properly designed.

All that said its probably possible to make LEDs that deliver a compatible beam profile for a retrofit bulb, but no one seems to have been able to pull it off. And certification is not even expensive, manufacturers self certify in Canada iirc, but if they lie they can face legal action from the government. So convince someone to actually make certifiable bulbs, test them then they can sell them as legal retrofit bulbs and rake in the cash. Possibly the only reason this has not happened yet is that no one has been able to invent a bulb that can pass the simple requirements to be road legal because LED bulbs have a very different beam profile then halogen and in a halogen housing won't work correctly...

What if the housing has clouded so bad that the light output is diffused anyway? LOL. I've seen someone drive around town in an old rusty caravan with LED headlights and they don't have to worry about beam pattern.

I came to the same conclusion. Beam patterns aside, there's just too many potential headaches here with reliability. If these were genuine from a respectable LED brand like Philips different story, but I learned long ago that gambling with cheap electrical/safety devices is not worth it. I'm actually satisfied with my halogen lights, work as intended and I can't ask much more from my sports camry. The cooler color temperature and higher lumen output of LEDs actually works against you for visibility in fog and heavy rain.

I've always been skeptical of these ebay-esque LED retrofits as well, particularly active cooled units. Sketchy LEDs and components + unknown build quality + active cooling just sounds like a bad idea if you value reliability. Looks great at first but for how long? The reviews seem to be a mixed bag accordingly

Indeed, i came to the same conclusion as well, when i was looking for headlight replacements i extensively looked into LEDs and while many claim identical beam pattern but brighter none inspired confidence and some that claimed road legal then deleted those claims. Philips does actually have some LED retrofit headlight bulbs but prominently state off road only.
I ended up going with Philips halogen, ~3300K.

Don’t be that guy who blinds people with LED bulbs in reflective halogen housings, and tints the rears so we don’t notice you braking.
