My only concern is getting an AHL failure. How long have you been running your LEDs? No issues at all?

Nice! Love the amber-free lights haha.
Yes sir, those are LUX V5 @ 5000K. Match very well thanks!
I had V4's previously and got AHL errors. After getting frustrated I ditched them, but after talking to LUX earlier this year I ordered some V5's. With my car in storage I had time to analyse the new housings while they were out of the car. In doing so and comparing the positioning of the ballast vs headlight components, I came up with a very very easy way to modify the headlight cover to prevent these AHL errors from occurring. Currently zero errors since installing with this method, and it's been three months or so I think now with many many car washes both by hand and wand.
While swapping over the control units and such, I used some Amsoil silicone spray to lube up the seals again to help get some moisture back in. Seemed to work well.

And DIY, don't mind the cliché intro and uber serious 'hello' hahaha. (also this is wayyy easier with the headlights removed
