I just changed my headlights to LED.
 
The LED lights are strong and bright on low beam The high beam is weak. I think the high and low beams are on at the same time when switched to high beam

Did you change anything on the electrical panel?
 
Determine if it is your wiring or the new LEDs. Does it use the same three-pin connector as the bulb used? If so check your voltages. Power should only be on 1 pin (to common) at a time. (Also please post year and model of your car.)

Also make sure you change your fog lamp relay to a standard “53” style. There is a longer post covering interaction problems with led and the various grounds the system uses.

EDIT: This comment refers to just doing the LED bulb swap and may not apply if you went with a full 7" light assembly swap. Per the note below, please provide some additional details.

OP, as asked what year is the 928 and are the lenses 7" or 8" and are the lenses H4, a pic would help ;)

I make a set of updated covers for the H4 housing that accomodate the LED bulb and still keep the lens protected from the elements.https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...035e594de7.jpg

How can I trade money for this fine product?

Talk to Roger. I dropped off a few for him. If he's out of stock, I'll make you a set for $40.

What are you comparing this to? what kind of lamps and what incandescent bulbs did you have before?

The caps shown (Ed Scherer also has a similar design) are for 8" H4 lamps only - they won't work for H5 or 7" H4.

What LED bulbs did you buy? In general to get a good meaningful answer you have to tell us a lot more details and context...

Yep way to many questions not answered to give any advice, and note some LED's can be placed upside down in the fixture.
