Just like tires, suspension upgrades, and everything else we do to our rigs, you get what you pay for. If a Chinese LED interior lighting set is being sold on eBay 14 bulbs for $20, it’s probably going to start flickering on you about a year or two or maybe sooner after installation. If that’s okay with you, great. Just be aware that if something is priced way below what you see for comparable items, there’s a reason for it.

I've had the Ebay kit for about 90 days now and the plate lights are flickering, especially in the chilly 50 degree FL panhandle weather. I ordered a pair of Phillips to replace them. Anybody else having any issues yet? The interior is sill running strong, and I'm happy otherwise.

I've seen a lot of posts complaining about the longevity on that kit, paired with complete and utter lack of customer service. I hope the interior bulbs go the distance for you. Also, lol @ "chilly" 50 deg.

XD Low Beam LEDs Installed
Sorry don't have before and after comparison shots. Got these installed today. Tested just now on a busy parkway, didn't get flashed from the opposite side. Also no issues in a drive-through with a compact sedan in front.

Looks like you really need to check your headlight adjustment !
NVMD, looks like you were going downhill..... maybe somewhat...

Any recommendations on replacing the stock halogen bulbs with something a little better? Really don't want to go HIDs without a full retrofit but not wanting to do that yet.
Also, I ordered some yellow lamin-x, but would I also benefit from replacing the actual fog light bulbs with yellow bulbs?

Downhill inclines are a very real thing, actually. I'm not convinced the referenced picture actually is a downhill incline. You normally see these in mountainous terrain. I'll try to find a good example and edit this reply.
