Wow. You did a lot of work. FWIW I love my LEDS and have no issues. They seem to be brighter than Xenon HIDS I’ve had in the past on other vehicles. Based on your photos my LEDS seem to be much brighter than yours.

I've had both and the HIDs were better, more focused. So much so that I got HIDs when I got me 2018 Q7.
