Diode Dynamic LED not fitting

Finally got around to installing (or trying) highs, lows, fog replacement leds from diode dynamics. Went with DD because I like that they are made in the USA. Expensive but hopefully worth it. Fog lights install was simple. No issues. Great fit and the harness clips/locks worked. Lows (H11) I was able to get the bulb to fit in the housing, but anti flicker module would not physically connect to the Ram wire harness. I ended up just leaving off the anti flicker module (we’ll see how that goes). I plugged the led directly into the truck wiring. LEDs work but not a good fit with the connection. The locking mechanisms didn’t work with the DD bulb. Hope it doesn’t wiggle loose. Highs (9005) I could not get the collar to fit. Not sure what the problem since there is very little room to see anything. I gave up on the Highs today and will try again another time. Anyone else install Diode Dynamics? What was your experience?

I’ve all but given up on these. Tried again this weekend with no success. I believe the way the DD housing is designed, it rubs against a screw in the headlight housing preventing them from locking in place. Hoping DD will approve my refund and I’ll get some Morimottos instead

Really hoping someone out there has experience with these. Just heard back from Amazon seller that they won’t accept a return because I’m just passed the 30days. Shame on me for ordering and not getting around to installing for 4 weeks I guess.

No experience with these but when I have issues with light installs I try swapping the stock oring on the new lights.

I ended up paying the dealer to install the DD low beams in my truck. They took the grille off to get the anti-flicker modules in and said it was a huge pain in the ***. I'm not doing the high beams as I don't think many people do.

On another note, these low's are extremely bright. Are you re-aiming your lights?

Yes I was getting flashed a lot so I did this,
, i shoved the anti flicker module in the headlight housing. The high beams don't require the anti flicker and are easier to do.
