Aftermarket LED bulb’s fan making loud noise…

[DailyMoparGuy]

Anyone dealt with this before with aftermarket LED lights? These are Axial LED Headlights H13 model (6000k)

I’ve never heard the fans before and only the driver side light fan is making this noise. I don’t think it’s an issue but if anyone thinks it is, let me know.

Note: the engine is OFF.

Edit: I’ve had these lights installed for about 15k miles with no issues.

Make sure there’s nothing blocking the fan from spinning and nothing is loose, but that fan sounds like it’s on the way out.

What brand?
Fan noise is covered under warranty with some brands.
Those dinky little fans are spinning at thousands of rpms; it doesn't take much wear in the bearing(s) to make noise.
I have the Sealite-brand headlight lamps, and they started making fan noise after about 10 months. I sent them a video, and they sent me a replacement set of lamps.
I intend to run the currents lamps until the fans fail completely, or get noticeably noisier.
Although yours are a lot louder than mine are!

Yea I’ll give it a look. There could be some dirt in there messing things up.

They’re Axial. I bought them off ExtremeTerrain so I’ll check their return policies on this. Worst case I’ll go through Axial directly for warranty replacement like you mentioned.

Thanks for the help!
