Yes it does with excellent adhesion after cleaning/removing the loose rust.
Received the HAMMERED can delivered yesterday & started prepping/coating drivers side front.
Lost a couple pounds of rusted metal however there are thousands of pounds still sturdy intact.
The H3 box frame is heavy duty made to support a lot of weight however only with holes on the sides to catch/trap debris causing rust/rot without holes below to drain
Numerous hours restoration ahead!

2hr lapse:

Here is the thing with LED Bulbs put in an incandescent light bucket. I have not seen any beam pattern in your pics, but bright and splashing all over is not what you look for in and LED bulb. The LED placement needs to replicate the factory halogen light placement or filament direction on the reflector to cast a focused beam out to distance (and not blind oncoming traffic).

With all that rust removal, you truck will be lighter for better MPGs.

H3 headlight bulbs are in a REFLECTOR HOUSING same with the AM replacements I installed.
LED BULBS WORK PERFECTLY WHEN PROPERLY AIMED!

Not hardly, many are just crap with bright domed chips that splash all over the reflector instead of hitting the reflector's spots that the original bulbs did. That is why no LED bulbs are DOT approved as replacements for OEM Halogen headlights.

I agree that a quality set, properly designed as a replacement for the specific vehicle's reflector, work perfectly after aiming.
