What exactly does that prove? That if I have stock lights I won't get into said accidents or that with those LED lights, my odds of an accident go up because that was all you saw?

These are what I had before this latest set. These 90 dollar ones are worth every extra dollar over them. They're brighter, put the light in more useful places, throw a wider pattern, and give off less glare.

I would send those back and get the ones I posted. You wont regret it.

I have decided i have one complaint, which isnt too bad i guess. I wish i could aim them a bit higher. Theyre maxed out in height adjuztment, i would go higher if i could. I might try to replace the adjustment screws with something longer...

Normally it's done on the car side. I did mine at the foglight relay.

That is what I thought. I just got lazy and didn't want to hack up the harness and solder

Then you own it. Sorry to say. I'd use that to test but for final install, I'd cut the car side and solder with heat shrink if I were to do that. Before you return everything, why don't you try to use the plug in ones and see if it works? That is the route I took. If it didn't work everything is returned.

The weather has been nice so along with getting the Vette out for a spin tonight I also decided to snap a few quick pics of the light output.
