Tried the same LED, not bad light output but the outer rings did also fail on mine.
The inner bulbs also got very hot but didnīt fail.

Try the low-beam coding options, it may help.

These bulbs arent made for the high heat output, look at the heatsink, it should be ten times bigger or more.
these "bead" leds run very hot compared to more high-end leds.

Made my own setup using Cree LED and a heatsink.

Fully visible at day, uses them as DRL.

They are white IRL

AE's look good. I am curious to see how long they last you. I have the 6w LEDs from Trinity and they seem to be doing fine, but not visible during the daytime. I am getting Orion V2 soon.

i checked, the diameter is too thick, 15mm, our hole can only insert 10mm, not even 11mm.
