I had both and installed both. The first one has such a large heatsink that you have to unscrew it... problem is, you have to magically screw it back together once you get the actual LED into the bulb housing. Only way I was able to do it was with JB Weld. I contacted the seller and they sent me the second set of bulbs as a 'replacement'. They were so much easier to install. The overall difference in brightness was negligible.

Tip on installing the second ones... hook up the bulb to the power supply and work on installing the bulb while kind of hanging onto the power supply with your other hand. That way when and if the bulb falls down into the abyss, you can just pull it back out. I got them in without unscrewing the heatsink. Good luck.
