- landyacht318ExplorerMight have to back them out a bit and get some silicone grease.
The O rings used were too small/ tight and they had so much friction they felt tight, but the end cap could be wiggled.
I want to get a flood pair to replace the halogen fog lights that are my reverse lights which are on my trailer hitch. - aruba5erExplorerJust got mine $32 for 4 of them. Using them as docking lights for my pontoon.I'll check the screws for tightness before mounting them. They are bright though.
- landyacht318ExplorerI have two of the spot beam ones that come on with my high beams. There are dozens of rebrands of these using the same housing, some better than others no doubt some actually use Cree emitters, many likely do not.
The endcaps were not torqued very well. The dry O rings were causing the screws to bind. They would have leaked for sure. They needed some spit and polish, but I like them.
Drivers on the other side of the road, who do not lower their high beams in time, do not like them. They are as bright as my sealed beams getting 14.5v at the h4 connector, on high beam.
The instant on to full brightness factor is nice.
I use them carefully.
They are illegal to use on road in the US, but headlamp and vehicle safety lighting is not really enforced. Look at all the nimrods putting HIDs into halogen reflectors and thinking they are cool and can see better when they come off as fools who can't see any better, and worse cause excessive glare to other drivers driving the opposite direction
The mounting bolts are not very strong, and they will rust shortly after being breathed upon.
I have a few photos of mine already uploaded to PB

- rkentzelExplorerI have two work really well use them for backing into dark campsites
- NaioExplorer IIWhat are you using them for? They look like they are made to bolt onto something.
- MEXICOWANDERERExplorerBeen selling these CREE lamps for 4-years. Not one warranty. They are regulated 10-33 volts and the glass is Pyrex. They submerged a bunch in water and a week later the insides were bone dry. I am satisfied they are as good as lamps 10X their price.
- dcg9381ExplorerInteresting.. good luck with the warranty.
