Silverstars don't last very long. I got 3 class action checks to prove it.

Could anyone post beam shots (car parked facing a wall) of whatever they have?

The stock fog lights were perfect. Any led bulb I put in didn't do anything to light the road up...

Surely there has to be some sort of fix out there.

Proper aiming goes a long way. Instructions in the Owner Manual. I'm getting tired of typing that. Have you looked at the Owner Manual?

I don't think it's possible to aim 2-emitter led bulbs so that may be the issue as Don said. I am going to try the 6 emitter led bulbs.

You asked about headlights, now you are saying fog lights?

Why would aiming have anything to do with the type of bulb? The aiming moves the reflector.

Led bulbs are different. They don't work the same in the stock housing. Its not meant for LED. Same thing with HID. I'm sure you've notice the mass amounts of people with lights that blind... I tried turning the led bulbs in my 2010 LT. you can't aim them. It's just a flood all around. No wait to guide them. They go 10' above the car and light the trees up...

I use the blade style of Lasfit LED's in my car.
I adjusted the blades so that they sit perpindincular to the road.
The instructions for doing so came with the bulbs.
They work perfectly.
I did adjust my lights down a little bit, but that me, by useing a block wall that is about 100 yards from my driveway.
