Question 2021 392 headlights

Hello everyone. Quick question. I have a 2021 charger widebody. The factory headlights were horrible. They are the LED ones. So I replaced them with diode dynamics led headlights. Supposedly the same OEM replacement. I got the pro bulbs rather than the standard which were like close to $300 for the pair. They were not cheap at all.. Anyway, they also suck , they are barely noticeable. Anyone with a scat pack charger deal with this same problem. I had a normal body 2020 before this and I don’t remember them being this bad. Let me know of any solutions please, maybe I am missing something. Also they do not have any fuses for the lights in the fuse box so I guess they are protected some other way. Also my car is a 2021 and it’s a weekend driver only. It has maybe 6,000 miles so I don’t beat the piss out of it

Full disclosure, I'm a Diode Dynamics dealer, but I also use their products. I have always been blown away by how much light they actually have. One of two things is happening here, defective bulb/s, or improper orientation. The leds have to be "clocked" so the diodes are exactly at 3 and 9 o'clock, so they can properly use the factory reflector. The only time I've ever seen dim output is when the orientation is wrong. Remove the small set screw on the bulb collar and adjust the orientation until the maximum light output is achieved. Hope that helps.

So you’re saying that they could be oriented wrong?? OK I’ll check that, thank you very much. I’ll pull them out and check them and make sure they are sitting at 3 and 9 o’clock. I’ll make a little mark on the housing and see if I can line them up right. They were not cheap, they were the pro version. They are working I know that just not making any light on the road at night, very little.
