Time to remake this video?? There’s now a few that are plug and play with the ballast! I’m going to give it a go!
true. I cant even find a video about those. I will have to find out how good it is. ill be installing mine this weekend.
@@Abeldlg let me know friend
How do they work?
@@daltonnadeau1339 very well actually! I have the conversion in my Vauxhall Astra van. They seem to be a lot brighter than the xenon bulbs that was in it!
@@125ktm2007 awsome thanks!
Best headlight videos on TH-cam, hands down 👏👏
Thank you so much!
Thanks for save my money...appreciate!!
No problem! thanks for watching.
i was about to switch it led but no, i’m gonna stay with my oem HID !! good thing i watched this video and hopefully all i have to do is just replace the bulb!! thanks !
Glad we could help, thanks for watching!
Glad i saw this video before replacing my HID bulbs....Thanks guys 😊
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the demo - you've convinced me to keep my OEM HIDs!
Glad we could help, let us know if you ever have any other questions! Have a good one!😃
Thank you for showing me (and everybody) that leds are a bad choice in projectors headlights. Great vid, very informative 👏
Thanks for watching!
Excellent demonstration, and candid review. Much appreciated!
Our pleasure, thanks for watching!
Thanks for this test, I definitely will be sticking with my oe d3s setup and forget about a led swap
Good idea. An LED projector swap maybe... but not a PNP bulb.
Amazing results I was pretty shocked. Thanks for saving me a bunch of money.
You're welcome!!
Thank you for this video,
The information about even basic things like names of bulb fitments and what led variables work with HID fitments was helpful.
Glad you liked this video!👍
At last I found something useful that removed my confusion about simple plug n play LEDs replacement for OEM HIDs
I’m glad we could help you out!
You saved me bigbrO... I never expected that Leds would b worse for projectors, was thinking to upgrade D4s bulbs to Leds, thanks a lot for such a great info 👍
HiDs are best (stock n genuine)
Glad this video helped you out, if you need anything else just let us know! Thanks for commenting, have a good one!
Thanks for the video. I have an OEM reflector based HID (D2R) that is getting dim. I was really considering on swapping them for LED bulbs but after watching your video, I don't have to waste my time and money on LEDs.
Honestly in a D2R reflector headlight they might work well... but still probably not as good as just replacing your original HID bulbs with something new.
i recently sent an email to you guys . you guys saved me tons of money for not replacing the HID to LED on my case . thanks . you guys are the best .
haha that's awesome Joseph. Thanks for watching!
and what case would that be?
LED Convversion
@@jhaghverdian
Do you still think LED conversion is a bad idea?
No, if you get the right one. There are lot of but and ifs when you want to change something from OEM to aftermarket in Electronics. Just do your own research and if you have a car that has lots of sensors then you need to think 2times before changing anything.
Excellent explanation of the difference between the two different types of bulbs, thanks for posting this video.
Not a problem, Brandon. Thanks for watching!
Wow, great video, answered all my questions in few minutes. Thumbs up guys, one of the best explanation video ever 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad this video helped you out, let us know if there is anything else we can do for you! Have a good one!
Thank you so much you just save me $150 because I almost replaced my factory auto leveling xenon headlights off my 2013 BMW X.3 and I’m glad I looked it up before I went and bought them!
No problem!
Cheers for this mate! Saves my time and pocket!
Glad we were able to help, thanks for watching!
Subscribed! When it comes to the LED world of lights you sure have shed some light for us at your expense. Thank you. By the way, i used the Hikari led lights on 2 of my vehicles to replace halogen bulbs and they are very bright. Dont know if you have tried them but they sure are pretty good.
Thanks for the sub, glad you like the videos! We have tested the Hikaris, and if you want to see how the hold up against our bulbs or others, you can check out this video! The Hikari is shown at 4:28, not honestly the greatest out of the bunch😬 Link: th-cam.com/video/LT-s4Eg7cyw/w-d-xo.html
@@HeadlightRevolution oh wow. And here i thought they werent so bad lol
Not that they are bad, but there are MUCH better options for ya! 😂
Good to see a nice video that shows that LED is still no match for HID, no heat is projected from an LED so it will not project light, only glow in front of you , it may look brighter upon the garage wall but on the road especially a dark road, you’ll struggle to see the road ahead.
my dads golf with leds lights up the road my golf with xenons i need to use torches to see at night
It's been 4 years , now it's different story, i replaced mine with plug and play option, and it's amazing, pattern, brightness , spot on . New test please 😂
Thank you! Saved me time and money!
You're welcome!
Was absolutely confused,LED OR HID for my MB E-250 W212,you made up my mind brother..
Will stick to the original HID.
Thanks a lot..
Glad I could help
I threw a D2H Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 into an HID projector and the output was surprisingly good.
Thanks you Sir. You absolutely save my ass. I just about go to some chineese D3S Leds options for HID replacement. Now I found Osram has great D3S HID night breaker for my bi Xenon headlight.
Peace.
Thank you. Had a xenon bulb blown and considering converting to LEDs. Your video just explained very clearly why it’s not worth the effort. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
🤘🤘🤘
Useful review. Made my mind up. Thanks dude👍.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks Guys...
Right there changed my mind just like that.. awesome videos...
Great to hear!
I went with OSRAM Cool Blue Intense(next gen) D2s bulbs to replace my old HID OEM bulbs and really like the color, brightness and beam pattern. I think the LED emitters are a technology that needs much more development before they can successfully compete with good HID systems. The problem, as I see it, is to get all the chip emitters oriented in a spherical array that has the sphere's center aligned with the focal point of a reflector/lens, hence a tightly collimated beam with minimal angular dispersion.
Thank you so much for a introduction to these lights.
You are so welcome!
This is very helpful!!! I was considering LED but like you said, it’s a lot of work for worse output!!!
Exactly!
Great video! All questions answered
Thank you for making sense of this!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for saving me time effort and money.
No problem!
Thank you man. You explain that perfect
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Have been toying with the idea of getting the ‘LED’ look from my stock HID headlights. Definitely will not be making the switch now.
I would highly recommend against it, I am glad that this video could be of assistance for you! If you have any other questions or concerns, let us know and we will be happy to help!
Great video! Thanks for this!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the insight 👍 keep making more helpful videos
Last year i bought a D1S Led bulbs from AliExpress. It's exactly the green box you have on the left. I thought one day i would installed it, but now i see the truth.
Thank you for the advice
No problem!
Thank you for doing this video. Might not work to well in my d2s refector headlight
Nope. Even if it did work... that install would be a bear.
Thanks for making this, good friend has the same truck as me and he has bought 6 diff brand LEDs to keep up with the times. My CBI's outshine him every night
No problem 👍
Tks. Really good information
Glad it was helpful!
Great job, your videos are the best.
Thanks!
Thank you saving me a ton of problems and the anger of finding out the led bulbs are terrible.
Thanks for your video, this saved me a hell of a hack job
Glad it helped!
You just destroyed the LED head lights industry 😆. Thank you for exposing this.
Brilliant review and info!
Thank you!
Thank you. I have been thinking of changing my D1S Xenon on the F30 to LED bulbs...
Great Video ! i have a question about d1s and d3s burners. It is said that the d1s burners are a little cooler due to the mercury filling. but are they also brighter than the d3s? optically it already seems to be so. are there any test results? many thanks
Wow thanks for saving me a headache!!!
You are very welcome, glad we could help!

excellent explanation
Glad you liked it!
Yeah 😎 thank you for saving us money 💰 I’ll appreciate
Glad that this helped, thanks for the support!
Thanks for showing the differences and how off the scale they can be in an OE HID housing. Saved me buying something and being heavily disappointed.
Thanks for doing this. I have been looking into replacing the HID bulbs in my Corvette with an LED, but you just showed there's no reason to. When someone can make an LED bulb that replaces an HID and actually works, they will sell a ton of them.
True. If you're dead set on LED on a vehicle that came with OEM HID, go with an LED projector retrofit or a full LED assembly housing.
It is impossible to retrofit led in a projector, that was created for hid bulb. Why? Just look at the area, where light is created. It is in focus of the reflector and lens. And then look at the light source of led bulb.
Would like to see an updated video with some of the more modern D series leds. Newer ones look much different and some are getting good reviews.
D series LED bulbs still aren't great. These HID housings should ONLY use HID bulbs.
@@HeadlightRevolutionWhat about the morimoto d2s replacement projectors? I am swapping out my ghetto oem nissan projectors for those.... going with a d2s from either osram or phillips... I'm not in love with the blue look from many leds... and I actually drive 30 miles every evening where deer love to roam so CRI is critical, not looking "dude bro I'm so cool dude bro" with the stupid blue headlights
You're spot on
We definitely tried!
The aftermarket LED bulbs in my old VW are better than the stock HID in my younger Audi, but after watching this I won’t be ‘upgrading’! 😵 Thanks
Happy to help
Not surprised at all since a projector is designed to utilize all of the light around the bulb unlike deflectors where its mostly horizontal (or rarely vertical) part of projection :)
Excellent video.
Thank you!
I just wanna change the color of my headlights and DRL on my 2013 Acura ILX Base model. What do I need to achieve at blueish glow for my car? Great video, just complex with all the systems. Glad I'm doing research before buying anything. Saved me a lot of money, time and other headaches.
For this, you are likely looking for a 6000k or 8000k color setup for that blue tone! 6K will be a much lighter blue tone, more so white than anything with a hint of blue. Think of modern LED headlights, this is 6K!
8000k is a much deeper blue color, it is much more obvious than 6K is.
We can link you directly to the bulbs you need, send us an email!

Lucky for us, both Osram and Phillips have not left us out in the cold and have come out with newer and brighter bulbs, all while using the same OEM setup. Bulbs from Osram like the Night Breaker Laser or the Cool Blue Boost. And from Phillips, the
Xtreme Vision Gen 2. All are much brighter than the standard OEM Osram/Philips bulb and in fact are the brightest xenon bulbs on the market at their color range.
That is very true, Those are awesome brands and they have some solid HID bulbs.
Helo i have the osram cool
Blue boost 7000k , it is brighter and whiter than orginal in my car vw golf 7 , but I expected more , its more like white in the headlight and yellow on the road i dont know why this is so , i wanna white hid with stay white and not change from begining white blue and than 1 min later like more yellow
I've tried LED headlights and I can't see jack shit with em....im a HID user an believer for life....nothing beats HID's period
Thanks for the feedback!
Lasfit ls series were the shit in my impala.
NUBLAFIED NUBBIE a well engineered led setup smokes hid’s
Brian incorrect. according to bmw research their leds are 2X brighter than the xenons
I have a 2016 Suburban LTZ with the D3S. The light pilot on the OEM is absolutely horrible, are there any options or suggestions to get something much brighter and crisp? Thank you in advance.
Stepping back again. I changed LEDs into projector housings and reflector housings and loved both upgrades, another car has D3s HID projectors 35w that are about as dim as halogens, can't see crap, so was thinking of changing to LEDs if I could figure out how, but now what? Wouldn't have to deal with ballasts would be nice.
Thanx for video 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for watching!
That's an awesome information. what do you think of after market hid kit to replace halogen bulbs or LED bulbs better option? Thank you so much for making this video.
I have a 2001 Subaru Outback with reflector headlights. First I did the LED bulbs which improved my night driving experience, but a had some light scatter. I had to aim the lights lower to avoid shining on coming drivers. Then I did a complete Morimoto D2S retrofit. Opening up the headlights, installing the projectors with HID bulbs. My cars lights now look like any BMW, Mercedes Benz or Audi. When driving the light on the road is superior to the upgrade from halogen to LED. I went from good, better and best. Hope this helps.
A lot of it comes down to preference! Also, what do you drive?
@@HeadlightRevolution , 2010 tundra.
Best video ever .
Thank you.
Thank you. Saved me money, headache and frustration. I have a 2008 dodge charger with OEM hid and it's a real hassle to chanche the bulb. You need to remove the front fascia of the car to do it. Cant access from behind.
I’m glad we were able to help you out! Thank you for watching.
Great Video! your channel is the best guide on HeadLights! So, if i have a Headlight which uses XENON D1S originally, can I Change it to D3S? are they interchangeable? Thanks.
Unfortunately not, because of these differences, D1 and D3 bulbs cannot be interchanged since the pin configuration in the light is not the same.
Thanks
No problem!
Any update with these video D3s to LED, looks like a lot of LEDs coming out with D3s square bottom and the led itself is on the same location as HID lights up thanks
Thank you !
Anytime my man, glad you found this video useful! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!
Something to note that while HID and LED are both point sources of light, the two manifest their light differently. Headlight manufacturers note this manifestation in designing their headlights around the light source used. Putting LED in a housing where an HID bulb belongs is the same as putting HID in a halogen housing. They may fit, but the output and spread will never be better than the bulb it was originally designed for.
Good point. Thanks for watching!
Interested to why it's only the D series bulbs that are no good in led, in other tests the GTR and Bevensee led were far better and brighter.
I'm glad you did this video. Saved me buying the morimoto d2s led for my 07 maxima. My current stock hid's have been acting up. Can you point me in the right direction to replace them?
Are you looking to do a projector retrofit?
@@HeadlightRevolution no sir my car is equipped with factory hid projectors.
Very good video, I have stock hid d3s on my Chrysler 300 but one just started to flicker. I was going to swap to led cause they say 12,000 lumens with 110w. It would be nice to see those numbers you got with led lux vs what they state they have on package
Blatant lies honestly, 12,000 lumens would produce WAY too much heat for a headlight housing.
Thanks for the video, it´s been helpful. I just have one question: Are there D4R or D4S bulbs in 3000k color?
I am sorry to say that we do not have any of that bulb size in that color, wish we could help you out here! Let us know if you have any other questions, have a great day!
TY

Wow! I wasn't expecting that. I thought that the LED bulbs was better all-round. So I have a Jaguar XF Sports 2016 X260 that uses DS3/35w (each side) HID bulbs. When the lights are on and your standing in front of the car they look bright, but when your in side the car and looking out the windscreen they don't look that bright. Is there a high wattage I can use that you can recommend without it damaging the wiring or the light?
Thank you. 👍🏽😎
When going up in wattage with HID kits you don't have to worry about the wires, at that point you would burn up the internal reflective surface of the projector resulting in less light output over time.
I have a 2020 Chevy Traverse and I’m looking for advise to what’s the brightest HID bulb I can replace with factory?
Nice Datejust.
good eye. DJ2 to be exact
Thank you
You're welcome
Also could you use a d1s bulb instead of a d3s bulb or would you need a different ballast, voltage looks different.
Great write up. Saved me money. I have a CLS Benz 2011 w219… I have the OEM DS2 hid and I can’t see anything at night. My lenses are fairly clear and I was wondering should I replace the bulbs or should I replace the bulb and a upgraded projector… I wanted 6000k but l don’t want to lose lumens, so maybe 5000k? What do you think?
5000k for sure, getting into 6000k+ you start to lose overall light output!
Have you tried these the different Led ie Cob Cree and tx1860?
Can you do a video comparing a D bulb from a 10 year old car to a brand-new one and show the decrease in luminosity. I’m very interested to know why when I changed my lightbulbs a brand new one the light output didn’t increase. And I used the osram and Philips.
Tons of plug and play out there
👏🏼👏🏼
Hello
I have a 2011 Mazda CX 9 and I want to replace the original bulbs to LED or COB.
Please recommend me a full kit.
Thank you very much.
For my 05 Cadillac STS, I've got gtr led's in my 9005 high beam and it's amazing. I'd love the gtr led's in my d1s low beam. Both are projectors, and if ya'll had a d1s led that plugged into the power supply wire that connects to my ballast inside the headlight it would be a plug and play for me and I'd have incredible light out put from both my low and high beam projectors.
I wish we had something for that D1S application, unfortunately, LEDs just do not perform well enough to work in place of a factory HID bulb. Let us know if you need anything else, or have any other questions, we are here to help! Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
is there an adapter for a d1s housing for a d2h bulb? or anther aftermarket HID. I am looking into a projector headlight housing but my car has a halogen factory housing. my issue is the clip that holds the d1s in place. Is there a way around that for other bulbs?
I have no idea where you source you LED bulbs. I have a 2010 Skoda Superb with Bi-Xenon D1S set. Replaced them with Darkaway LED D1S (Plug and Play). They are way brighter than the Osrams I had prior to that and no warm-up time as well. Maybe you should try a different source for your LED bulbs.
We order many different LED bulbs from different suppliers and companies. We'll have to get those bulbs ordered up and see how they perform!
Very informative.I got a 2014 Audi sq5 with stock 35w d3s, can I safely step up to a 55w d3s? Thanks n keep up the good work
Stepping up to 55w would be the biggest challenge but it can be done safely!
@@HeadlightRevolution is it as simple as putting in the 55w bulbs?
Excellent post , I need some direction i have Acura Tl 2002 , D2R on the passenger side Retaining Spring Clip fell off , unable to find one , is there an add on adapter to replace the clip , Looking at your validation and post look like i should to stick to HID . Thanks

Any time my man, glad you liked the video!
You saved me wasting my time, thanks.
I was looking at D2 led replacements as my HID reflector bowl is burnt, looks like a refurb and new xenons.
Any recommendations for xenon replacements? 2005 Volvo V50 T5.
try to choose the higher wattage of HID. Might need to change ballast though. Original wattage 25w is suck.
Have you thought about going the HID route?
@@HeadlightRevolution I'm currently running bi-xenon hids, reckon the bulbs could do with replacing and I know the reflector is burnt but cannot find a replacement 😣
grazie mille!!!
I have a 18 equinox with reflector housing. Currently inside are d2s 25w. They’re ok but just not bright enough on back roads where I live. I can’t see more than 10ish feet in front of me. Car specs say I should have D3s 35w. But I’ve also been told D4s and D6s. What would you recommend? If I go to D3s, would I have to change the ballasts too?
You would want to stick with D2S and get a better bulb like the Osram NBL!
What kind of ballast do I need for a d1s set up for a 2007 chrysler 300 srt8?
Recommendations on what bulb to get for a 2010 yukon?
For LED bulbs we highly recommend the S-V.4
