@bbrock - I believe I have the 8-chip unit from superbright in mine and I don't remember any fitment issues. Maybe I just forced it! That's a good outlet and I have no doubt that they will easily make things right. keep in mind that there are LEDs on only one side of that board so you can rotate it a bit to direct the light to a less direct way. But really - can you have too much light coming from that fixture?!

But really - can you have too much light coming from that fixture?! Good to know. Their exchange process is super simple and nice so should be no trouble. They even have "incorrect information on vehicle bulb selector" listed as a reason for exchange. I looked at just forcing the bulb in and I thought I probably could but didn't want to risk breaking the brittle plastic. I measured the bulb that came with the fixture and it is 38.5mm long where the replacement from SBL is 44.2mm. Since they have a 38mm version, I decided to try to get a better fit. I just need to print out the return label and pop it in the mail. |
