We have a 2019 Impreza hatchback and the stock headlamps are terrible. Here’s a shot of the model number.

I tried swapping this out with a Sealight LED bulb.

Pics attached are the H11 LED (at least I think that’s right).

for some reason I can’t get the plug to ‘click’ into the cars lamp connector.

Did I select a poor replacement? Has anyone else tried this? Recommendations on the fix or a different bulb?

Ive used Sealight before, they didnt last long. The connectors arent great either. I come to find you really need to push the connector on pretty hard. Just make sure you have it lined up right.
I switched to Cougar Motor LED's and not issues.
 
Thank you. Do you have a model number you’d recommend? Did they greatly improve the lighting at night?
 
My WRX uses a an H11. I found them on amazon. Yes, huge improvement over stock. Just be prepared to have to re-aim the light beam. Halogen housing are not aim/designed for LED's so you'll need to readjust the beam to not blind other drivers.

I am hoping to put LED's to replace the OEM Low Beam on my 2016 Legacy. Did you have any other issues other than re-aiming and was it difficult to re-aim?
