Unfortunately, your LED low beams are not replaceable. And I have not found any drop in LED bulbs that are brighter than the halogen high beam, not even Morimoto 2 stroke 3.0. Perhaps you could retrofit in some 9011 to the high beam. But the best bet is probably just to install some fog lights or driving lights for extra highbeams (or both!)

 

Ouch, never knew they were stuck like that. I have been looking at fog lights but there's so many kits I am not really sure what is a good quality kit that's not too complex to install.

 

If the LEDs are getting dim, they are getting dim for reason. Determine if whatever connector they have is getting proper power from the battery.

 

Everything appears good, even got a new battery a few months back since it was time anyway. Wires look okay, not sure what else to check though.

 

You'd need a multimeter to see if it is getting the proper voltage for power. Otherwise you can check to make sure there is no corrosion.

 

the LED low beams seemed fairly bright but now are pretty dim

Generally LED either work (for a long time) or not. However, in rare cases, the integrated chip circuit may be affect by oxidation or some links on the circuit board deteriorating, as a result of a mishap in production, causing lower brightness on the long time. If it's too severe, the whole LED assembly then need replacement. The odds of having both headlights affected, and at the same time, are quite low. In any event, it may also be an electrical underlying problem or the external lens is somewhat fogged.

 

Everything looks okay, and lights are clean on the outside. Maybe it's just me and driving more narrow and dark roads than usual or something and not feeling the same visibility.

 

I know this phenomena has happened to me. I'll upgrade my lights and it will seem very bright for a while, but then I'll get used to it and it won't seem nearly as bright anymore. So it could be that you're just more used to the LEDs now.

If you're in a situation where you could use the high beam for long periods of time (like on those narrow dark roads), you could consider an HID kit, which would be much brighter than halogen or LED. But those take a little bit of time to warm up to full brightness.

I think I may go that route and some decent fog lights since mine has no fogs yet. I drive across many bridges over a large lake so literally something to cut the fog at times and see the dark sides of the roads as they are weavy and occasionally hilly which makes it feel like I have no illumination on some 6-12 mile stretches.

 

Wow I didn’t know the 11th Gen LED bulbs were permanent.

So to replace it, I’d have to replace the entire head lamp assembly?

Actually I’ll just YouTube it. It’s piqued my interest.

 

Unfortunately it's true
