That yellow color you use in snow, fog and rain where yellow does not reflect from white snow/fog but yellow cuts threw it so visibility is higher with yellow. Those are fog lights essentially but very useful in snow fall and heavy rain as well very visibility is crap with whites as they reflect from rain.
8:22 that colour is legal! Old french cars used to have yellow headlights or have yellow tint over the headlights! They are supposed to cut through fog and snow as white is pointless by reflects straight back towards your face and just see wall of fog
That yellow color you use in snow, fog and rain where yellow does not reflect from white snow/fog but yellow cuts threw it so visibility is higher with yellow. Those are fog lights essentially but very useful in snow fall and heavy rain as well very visibility is crap with whites as they reflect from rain. The biggest selling point of those bulbs is color and led lights do not burn out as quickly as halogens. I replace halogens every 2-3 months as i drive a lot so cost of ownership of halogens and annoyance of changing them is super annoying. I just got those Boslla's so we'll see how they are. Halogens are garbage so unless you can do costly HID conversion there is no other alternative.
I've taken a chance and bought some similar thin LED's. They do seem to work very much better than earlier ones - my Yaris Hybrid has lousy lights... But the LED's - while not perfect - do seem to be an improvement. There is still some unwanted glare - which is inevitable as they can't mimic a tungsten filament 100%, but I must say I am pleased with the result.
To all of you that have l.e.d. Headlights make sure your lights are left to right in the headlight. Not up and down. In a standard halogen headlight thats how to get the right dispersed light. Had mine over under and had beams in the trees !
I have a similar setup on my Pontiac and they're nice because since I work in the early AM and the residential roads snake around a lot I use the amber lights in the neighborhood so I don't blast light through the windows of neighbors. I don't know about these bulbs, but the ones in my car the LEDs are positioned and shrouded to simulate the location of a filament in a stock bulb would be located. I had recently been pulled over for speeding (I know, dumb of me. I was too relaxed and not paying attention to my speed.) and I did ask the officer if my headlights were too bright because "I had just resurfaced the headlight lenses and clear coated them and was afraid I had lost some of the geometry reinstalling them." and he said they were okay. Since he was facing me when he clocked me and I didn't blind him the bulbs were fine. So the design of the LED bulbs are key. The right design doesn't throw the light around too much like my HID bulbs did.
Thanks for teaching us this. I swapped to a pair of CREE cool white LEDs and the ballast doesn't fit in n the housing but works perfectly. Also my LED fan is covered. No finger accidents :)
They 'blind'other traffic because they are being used in optical systems designed to focus light from a filament . They can't possibly work properly in any lamp that is not designed for them in the first place! I' ve tried some, in a projector lamp, and they produce tons of light all right, but throw it all over the place and cause untold glare... I was not impressed (they are also not legal for use on the road).
Richard King ADI That type of bulb, if you saw, the LED chips are in a thin surface. That type of LED is trying to mimic the halogen bulb filament. They’re brighter but you shouldn’t need to adjust them too much. I personally would probably put those as the fog light.
There's a big difference between LED and HID. I agree entirely about HID but I have much more faith in LED as they're supposed to split the beam into hi/low beam
Not true. Go to headlight revolutions site and they'll explain everything and do tests with every bulb. They only blind people because some people are lazy and don't properly adjust them
nope, new leds can be used in both projectors and reflector housings, you just need one that creates the right pattern. some cars have crazy glass after the reflector or a weird lens angle. but thats not a problem of the led , but of the car... there are some insanly good leds out there that create razor sharp beams in stock headlights.
@@robivlahov I'll have to take your word for it - but I'd have thought that they would need to have an LED light-source that was exactly the shape and size of a filament for that to be physically possible!
In the title you call the bulbs a ‘game changer’ yet your review of them is quite critical from the fan, to the fitment, colour and how the beam pattern is bad. Very confusing.
I would say in a projector they do work very well . In a Reflector they can work but you may need to aim them down a bit . I did on a 2008 Elantra , not blinding anyone here 🇨🇦
Thanks ...Ordered a set for my Trooper (9004). They will ask for particulars (mod #) upon charging my card . I let them know I learned about the product from The Savage Garage !

The yellow light can't disappear on winter roads. I've a traditional halogen yellow bulb from China in a projector but the other driver loves this. My bulb is illegal but the Philips has legal version.
Yellow is better for snow or rain, white is better for fine weather. The reason there’s a 3 second reset is so you don’t have to cycle through functions the next time you use your headlights. The flash function is pointless and annoying. I think these dual/tri colour would be better suited to foglights than headlights
Only need yellow fog lights, so that when you ride, the faces of obstacles are lit yellow while the rest of the road is white-ish. Then the back slopes of holes are pure white... or black, ofc. Augmented reality for you!
Oh crap, I got h7 LEDs for like 40 quid for my astra g, ran into the same problem you did... is there any way to install the LEDs on the astra? if not i'm screwed
I thought leds in projectors would be great. But because of the way the bolbs are with a led on each side you get a dark spot at night in the centre of the pattern. As you can see on the headlight lens the light patters is like a circle with a dark spot in the middle. Would highly recommend hids in projectors. 2 or 3 times as bright in a projector lens
Yellow bulbs for fog very common in the 70s on cars , but I wonder if they ever go out of sink with each other when you switch them on , great video James
I've just ordered the H4 version and I've been told that I won't have the flash mode. No problem. I'm just a little concerned about the cooling fans. I mean, when the fans wear out, will the bulbs overheat to the point of suffering a meltdown ? I live in Rio where the summer can be 40+ degrees. I wonder if Boslla has tested them without the fans in Death Valley. p.s. I'm not sure, but did you put the relay/resistor/ballast inside the rubber boot ? I believe they should not. Rather they should be fixed somewhere outside the boot to allow their heat to dissipate.
I would like to see the headlight housing water-tightness restored, probably the cap does not fit, so all dirt comes in. And how would that cool, even if the cap would fit.
I think for the Corsa it's okay but on the focus in its reflector housing it may not be good. Those bulbs don't look to have any design on it to help reflect the light if it was to be in a reflector housing
Under latest regs, non filament bulbs in filament housings will fail. Even if they pass they are still (and always have been) illegal. This applies to HID bulbs in regular lamps too
Retro fitted xenon/HID are illegal. LED are fine. My car went through its MOT and my car has projectors and it passed with no problems. The projector creates the beam with no distortion.
@@rhysgriffiths974 no, they are not legal. Passing mot, having correct pattern is irrelevant. Even putting non E marked halogen bulbs in is illegal. Legal includes such diverse things as how much violet light is permissable and where.
Hi mate, due to M.O.T. Rules from Jan 1st this year, changing bulbs, putting in sound systems and various add ons may effort your insurance, when they say, has it been modified what do you say, apparently cars have been failed because of these small changes.
Great to see a more in-depth review with actually driving demonstration on a normal road, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately since they only make sense in projector housing as you said we really need to see them in such, perhaps you can do that in somebody else car and post an update please? Btw. I think apart from the flash mode they are not really good value for money , as a Kickstarter at $49/59 the cheapest ($139) retail, this is insane and they are taking advantage of crowdfunding because the triple color LED from Oedro cost only $36 which has slightly more lumens, include CANBUS that Boslla doesn't has and I have been using them for almost a year, very impressed! I tried warning people on the comments section ;) still nice to have but really should be retailed in the $50-70 bracket and thus cheaper in crowdfunding to be fairly competitive placed.
you prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Zain Nicholas thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Put something similar in one of our cars a couple of years ago, the difference from the old halogen bulbs was literally night and day in terms of brightness, but even though they are projector headlamps the beams just don't have the same amount of 'throw'
@@ndavies5968 yeah they are very bright so I always have the headlights tilted down.. I've never had anyone flash me so they must be OK. What's also nice about them is that anything reflective really shows up.
Steve Hastings thats a good idea tilting them down. My headlights are 20 years old, i get flashed from people thinking only my side lights are on lol. Im replacing them as soon as poss
The reason that the bulbs don't seem to have as much "throw" is due to the poor choice of LED chipset and placement. Most newer LED bulbs utilizing the Philips ZES based LED chipsets have superior optics and less glare. The easiest way to give LEDs a try again is the Supernova PerfectFit. The "dazzling" effect is nearly eliminated in these bulbs due to the LED chipsets mimicking the size and placement of a halogen filament, something generic LEDs don't account for.
Mine has a very clean cut off, no blinding other road users. I have halogen projectors. Get the led bulbs with the hood on the tip, its the thing that keeps the light pattern good. Check Beamtech leds on amazon, cheap, good quality, decent brightness
Osram night breaker laser or Halfords 150% brighter range are very good upgrade bulbs both are a nice white colour compared to standard which i find reduces eye strain .
Hay mate, what about dust protection? I was using similar bulbs but due to no protection they died pretty fast. Not to mention that you are ruining the headlight by not protecting it. Do you have any solution>?
You have to quickly turn on / off to change the setting then each time you turn them on they remain on the setting you chose , he explains that during the video .
philips vision at the moment is the top. i dont want led to be full of problem in a reflector beam but instead ill simply go for an halogen which at the moment the beam travel 150% more than incadescent bosch type
Oof no. Just get a set of Osram Nightbreakers. Nice high colour temp & good light. But without blinding other road users in the wrong housing. Projector housing and reflector housing both cause this due to the scatter pattern of the bulb being dramatically different. It's one of the few things I wish police would really crack down on. That being said, the would be fantastic fog light bulbs in yellow with that flashing function.
Bro I've been rolling a brand like those in my foglights for over a year, they're nothing new in US, but I wouldn't put them in my headlights because 1) they'll just glare oncoming traffick and 2) they have no distance. I only use them in my foglights to because I've retrofitted my headlights with Morimoto D2S 4.0 Projectors with 6k Osram CBI's and the 3k foglights really help in the rain!
U.S. Army Ranger Operator that’s because if you use led’s for the projectors there is no distance since the led’s are pointing to the left and right and there is no reflection as well
@@poptrunkonu yea I didn't state that because it just defeats the purpose of the whole projector retrofit going with led in a projector only meant for d2s HID bulbs should be obvious but your right people do dumb stuff like that bro!
Gerry Armour In my experience , I needed to simply horizontally re-aim the lamps .... no worse "scatter" . The light emitted fron my Sylvania LEDs are in the same area as the filament 9004 bulbs . THESE seem the same .
Interesting video. Having a pure white bulb is a bit different. Having four modes in the bulbs is a bit strange, having two maybe three would (just off white and a pale yellow, the flash mode could be useful for on coming traffic to alert of hazards etc) of been enough. Thank you for make this video.
You are one of the best car TH-camrs I've seen! Earned a sub, I really enjoy your stuff. Keep up the great work lad, your on your way to becoming huge on TH-cam with your talent.
Didn't think you could use led bulbs in none led headlights they need auto leveling dipping or will be illegal? need to be e approved for insurance as well
They don't need to be as you have to remember many products sold for off road use only e.g. track cars 4wds etc. But you shouldn't run them on the road as they wont get approval but that fan is there death sentence.
To my knowledge, fitting the led lights to projector and reflection headlights would have little differences, because both types of lights have one thing in common they were designed around a halogen bulb with a filament in the centre of a glass housing. the best led type of bulb with a good beam pattern try to copy the halogen bulb, by having the Led as close as possible to the centre where the halogen filament the would be.
At least the moderate yelow enables you to avoid from the roadside checks by the police/traffic authorities. In Hungary, LED bulbs are still illegal to use. There are more law provisions against it. The E4 and the other camouflage marks are not enough, when you are picked out from the row becouse of your 6500K ~10000 lumen beam (especially in a 15 years old corsa).
Seems like you love you Vauxhalls. I've had an 2002 Astra 1.6 petrol. I had really bad experience with the engine eventually dying out. I heard diesels are more reliable.
Actually it is possible to install LED lights on reflector, how ever, the size of the light emitter *MUST* be in the approximate same position and be as small as the original incandescent filament to project the correct size beam and the correct focus. The XM-L2 are small enough and works on Fiesta Mk5 reflectors. ;D
@@NayNay1991x I found the 1.6 HDI 110 to be Quicker than the numbers suggested and that was one with 193,000 miles on it . My friends had two 2.0 HDI 136s one standard and one Remapped by HDI tuning with DPF delete Seriously quick cars looking for an XSI HDI 136 5 door as a 2nd car now might even consider the estate for extra sleeper effect.
Mr330d too be fair people say the 1.6 HDi engines are no good that's mainly because people don't take note that they have an additive tank (FAP Fluid) then let it run dry and that means no regens and bye bye turbo, serviced more than regularly there decent motors.
Yellow is still legal as far as I know but the beam pattern, regardless of lamp housing must conform to the ECE left or right standards depending on which country you are in. One thing I don't get, if these H7 LED's are only for use in projector housings and not reflective, why aren't manufacturers making two different sets of bulbs for projectors and reflectives? I suspect these wouldn't pass an MOT in any case and are really only for show use, not road legal. As an alternative I suggest using Philips Diamond White if stuck with incandescent bulbs. A bit of an improvement in colour but certainly better brightness.
Bulbs aren't checked during the MOT only headlight beam pattern. So dodgy bulbs will still get through. Same with the de cat, its only the last 12 months that mot testers can fail a car with a cat removed.
@@bobp6742 That's right. You can still get pulled over by the rozzers if the light is distracting/dazzling enough though, and if they are being a real PITA they can get you to head to an MoT station, within a couple of weeks, to check the beam pattern. To my knowledge there is no LED bulb designed to work correctly in standard reflective/projector lenses to produce the correct beam pattern. HIDs also can't be used in the same lenses and there are specific rules for aftermarket fitments - the focal light sources within the bulbs are different and the manufacturer headlamp lens and housing engineers take this into account (self levelling, lens design, etc.)
I don't know what the rules are like in your country, but here in the US, you won't be pulled over for LEDs in reflective housing, or yellow headlights. At least not here in New England
David Brogan The fan wont hurt you but it will eventually fail and cook the driver. You need remote driver units. Which would make that control box bigger but make for substantially more robust unit those fans are basically a suicide note for these. Hopefully they may realize this prior to full scale production. Remember it's basically a small computer fan designed for internal use dust and vibration kill them if mud or water doesn't get them first.
@@asdasd-ni8eg Even though dust and water are not as big an issue as one might think, I am not wild about this design. But the thought that touching the fan is somehow going to hurt you is laughable.
You recommend them for Projector housings. But I have then in my reflector housing. And they were perfect immediately. Not blinding. But I still went to get my headlights beam aligned just for other drivers safety and it only needed like 2/3mm of adjustment each way and the pattern was perfect. So it wouldn’t blind them. For me I’d advise everyone to re-align If they have reflectors
Avais Hussain no they're blinding and there's too many idiots out there doing the same as you. Less confident drivers brake hard when they're dazzled. I'm saying this having had an accident due to this issue from a new driver in front of me.
NightcoreCentral Disagree. My friends and family with projector and reflector all have them these last 2 years. They’re still working. And they had alignments checked or altered during MOTs and I swear I’ve never once been blinded by them. If you don’t align properly I’m sure they’re blinding. But they pass all MOT inspections for dazzling and blinding drivers. Otherwise I’d have failed my MOT and blinded others. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Actually that's related to the size and position of the chips. Many people buy those giant cheap LED chips instead the smaller ones, resulting in a blurry blinding beam. Small and more expensive chips like the XM-L2 works pretty well on stock reflectors, like on the Fiesta Mk5.
Avais Hussain hi as a night time hgv driver I personally hate these light and feel they are dangerous you can always tell the age of the car that is dazzling you by the beam of the lights and the ridiculous brightness should be illegal to sell them
Ti M Correct! I used a Philips Luxeon ZES chipped bulb on my scooter with a reflector lens and you can see the cut off line of the beam pattern. It’s the cheap ones that splatter light everywhere, not the well designed ones that mimic a decent quality bulb. I have never been flashed yet and don’t dazzle people. All about the fitment and adjustment.
Hahaha "haven't drunk enough water yellow" made me chuckle.....
Vanilla Ricer me too 🤣🤣🤣
Same😂😂😂😂😂

What if we do passing flash(Just a high beam flash) lead to change the colour?
yeah they are super but in my country is illegal if the car not came with led headlight from the factory !
What brand of webcam are you using in recording this video, the quality is amazing
Corsa in Bumblebee mode.
Is this bulbs blind the others like xenon?
Nice upload bud, dont mind the car product reviews, question is are these canbus friendly ? or will they throw blown bulbs on dash ?
To be honest it would be right pain having to cycle through the colours every time you switch them on.
I suspect it will default to white.
You must have not watched the entire video.
I suppose if it defaults to white that would be ok.
You have to quickly turn on / off to change the setting then each time you turn them on they remain on the setting you chose , he explains that during the video .
It's like Philips scene switch
philips vision at the moment is the top. i dont want led to be full of problem in a reflector beam but instead ill simply go for an halogen which at the moment the beam travel 150% more than incadescent bosch type
thx handsome! I suppose you could use some black tape on top of housing so you wont blind other drivers
The ? Is they send that to Delaware and can u send me the part number of that box.??
Oof no. Just get a set of Osram Nightbreakers. Nice high colour temp & good light. But without blinding other road users in the wrong housing. Projector housing and reflector housing both cause this due to the scatter pattern of the bulb being dramatically different. It's one of the few things I wish police would really crack down on.
That being said, the would be fantastic fog light bulbs in yellow with that flashing function.
just use regular LED's, and you can put LED's in a reflective housing they are fine
Agreed. Depending on the LED bulb
Bro I've been rolling a brand like those in my foglights for over a year, they're nothing new in US, but I wouldn't put them in my headlights because 1) they'll just glare oncoming traffick and 2) they have no distance. I only use them in my foglights to because I've retrofitted my headlights with Morimoto D2S 4.0 Projectors with 6k Osram CBI's and the 3k foglights really help in the rain!
U.S. Army Ranger Operator that’s because if you use led’s for the projectors there is no distance since the led’s are pointing to the left and right and there is no reflection as well
@@poptrunkonu yea I didn't state that because it just defeats the purpose of the whole projector retrofit going with led in a projector only meant for d2s HID bulbs should be obvious but your right people do dumb stuff like that bro!
@@poptrunkonu I'm sponsored by Morimoto, Lightwerkz, Led Concepts/The Retrofit Source (same owner) for retrofits
yellow lights, that was around in 50s 60s and 70s mainly french stuff though
You can blind others drivers on road with projectors headlights with this leds ?
Why you don't answer to your people on channel ? So annyoing..
He said reflector housing will scatter and blind people. Led's are better for Projector light housing. @@dskowron19
Jeah man, he dindt even watched the video..@@gerryfixit
@@gerryfixit LEDs don't belong in either, if they were meant to run halogen then that is all they should run
Gerry Armour
In my experience , I needed to simply horizontally re-aim the lamps .... no worse "scatter" . The light emitted fron my Sylvania LEDs are in the same area as the filament 9004 bulbs . THESE seem the same .
Looks crap 😂
Great vid, mate. I brought ones for both low and large been. They look great
Nice, How are they holding up?
Thing is I get blinded all the time I’m not sure if they’re aftermarket or stock so I’ll get some hid’s to give it back
are they can-bus error free?
Do they do them as h3 and h1 .and h7 . . Were to get them .
Interesting video. Having a pure white bulb is a bit different. Having four modes in the bulbs is a bit strange, having two maybe three would (just off white and a pale yellow, the flash mode could be useful for on coming traffic to alert of hazards etc) of been enough. Thank you for make this video.
Keep it up.....love your vids
You are one of the best car TH-camrs I've seen! Earned a sub, I really enjoy your stuff. Keep up the great work lad, your on your way to becoming huge on TH-cam with your talent.
Scott Steele
I agree! 👍
These style LEDs will not work well in projector housings.
Also the increased heat cause the reflectors to flake off.
Didn't think you could use led bulbs in none led headlights they need auto leveling dipping or will be illegal? need to be e approved for insurance as well
These bulbs are really nice but are they E-Marked so they can used on the roads,nice to see them in different colours.
They are bulbs not bodies.
@@dushk0 Still they need to be approved to not illegal to fit. TL;DR: They are not approved.
They don't need to be as you have to remember many products sold for off road use only e.g. track cars 4wds etc.
But you shouldn't run them on the road as they wont get approval but that fan is there death sentence.
@@asdasd-ni8eg *Their
Good to know i might remember that when I stop drinking tonight.
To my knowledge, fitting the led lights to projector and reflection headlights would have little differences, because both types of lights have one thing in common they were designed around a halogen bulb with a filament in the centre of a glass housing. the best led type of bulb with a good beam pattern try to copy the halogen bulb, by having the Led as close as possible to the centre where the halogen filament the would be.
At least the moderate yelow enables you to avoid from the roadside checks by the police/traffic authorities. In Hungary, LED bulbs are still illegal to use. There are more law provisions against it. The E4 and the other camouflage marks are not enough, when you are picked out from the row becouse of your 6500K ~10000 lumen beam (especially in a 15 years old corsa).
Seems like you love you Vauxhalls. I've had an 2002 Astra 1.6 petrol. I had really bad experience with the engine eventually dying out. I heard diesels are more reliable.
Why would you need those overemgneered complicated bulbs?
Actually it is possible to install LED lights on reflector, how ever, the size of the light emitter *MUST* be in the approximate same position and be as small as the original incandescent filament to project the correct size beam and the correct focus. The XM-L2 are small enough and works on Fiesta Mk5 reflectors. ;D
Curious about the high beam setting
Maybe they should supply a remote instead 🤔
Nice 307 Is it a 2.0 136?
Thank you!, 1.6 HDi 110 DPF Deleted and Remapped 😊.
@@NayNay1991x I found the 1.6 HDI 110 to be Quicker than the numbers suggested and that was one with 193,000 miles on it . My friends had two 2.0 HDI 136s one standard and one Remapped by HDI tuning with DPF delete Seriously quick cars looking for an XSI HDI 136 5 door as a 2nd car now might even consider the estate for extra sleeper effect.
Mr330d too be fair people say the 1.6 HDi engines are no good that's mainly because people don't take note that they have an additive tank (FAP Fluid) then let it run dry and that means no regens and bye bye turbo, serviced more than regularly there decent motors.
@@NayNay1991x Or they use the wrong oil and clog the Oil feed pipe to the turbo 😒
Almost thought It was a modified vectra from the grille 😅
Yellow is still legal as far as I know but the beam pattern, regardless of lamp housing must conform to the ECE left or right standards depending on which country you are in.
One thing I don't get, if these H7 LED's are only for use in projector housings and not reflective, why aren't manufacturers making two different sets of bulbs for projectors and reflectives?
I suspect these wouldn't pass an MOT in any case and are really only for show use, not road legal. As an alternative I suggest using Philips Diamond White if stuck with incandescent bulbs. A bit of an improvement in colour but certainly better brightness.
Bulbs aren't checked during the MOT only headlight beam pattern. So dodgy bulbs will still get through.
Same with the de cat, its only the last 12 months that mot testers can fail a car with a cat removed.
@@bobp6742 That's right. You can still get pulled over by the rozzers if the light is distracting/dazzling enough though, and if they are being a real PITA they can get you to head to an MoT station, within a couple of weeks, to check the beam pattern.
To my knowledge there is no LED bulb designed to work correctly in standard reflective/projector lenses to produce the correct beam pattern.
HIDs also can't be used in the same lenses and there are specific rules for aftermarket fitments - the focal light sources within the bulbs are different and the manufacturer headlamp lens and housing engineers take this into account (self levelling, lens design, etc.)
@@EdgyNumber1
Your spot on, LEDs are so new the goverment hasn't got around to testing the ones that are flooding in from China yet.
@@bobp6742 ...or any aftermarket LED's full stop. There simply isn't the legal provision yet, unlike defined rules for aftermarket HID.
@@EdgyNumber1
Think that the EU would have done something about by now, but maybe they got their hands full with other problems at the moment 😂
I didn’t think led conversions were legal in the uk. Personally I think halogen bulbs are brighter
Great vid ,love bulb vids
Do they have any high low bulbs
I thought u are not able to touch the tips of the lights won't they break
congress tart that’s only for the stock halogen bulbs
What a great idea
Can anyone tell me if you can pass a MOT test with these bulbs?
This test should have also included the projector headlights.
omfgwtfbbq90 the car has projectors
The only LEDs I have found that have a proper beam pattern are the genuine Philips ones. £125 though....
Top Banana ouch!
yeah my bulbs have are £130 each for the xenon bulbs...phillips enjoy pulling peoples pants down lol
Even in the reflector housing?
@@edbmbsixnine2054 130 pounds for a single xenon? In Germany we pay 100€ for a twin pack o_O
I was thinking of getting philips white vision halogen bulbs. Says 4300k which says is xenon white.
Each to their own but I'm in the, if it's not broken don't fix it, with the lights. Interesting experiment though. 👍
Bob Underwater so you don’t service your car then just go years and years till your oil breaks down and wears out your engine OK
@@taylorhaddock2782 I never change my blinker fluid no.
Where can I buy them plz let me know no response sweet CHEERS pal
I don't know what the rules are like in your country, but here in the US, you won't be pulled over for LEDs in reflective housing, or yellow headlights. At least not here in New England
Also, I should add, it depends on what brand you buy. I went with Sealight and they do not blind anyone, as they very closely resemble stock halogens.
Dude, if you caught your finger on the fan it would merely stop the fan. There would be no harm to your finger.
David Brogan
The fan wont hurt you but it will eventually fail and cook the driver.
You need remote driver units.
Which would make that control box bigger but make for substantially more robust unit those fans are basically a suicide note for these.
Hopefully they may realize this prior to full scale production.
Remember it's basically a small computer fan designed for internal use dust and vibration kill them if mud or water doesn't get them first.
@@asdasd-ni8eg Even though dust and water are not as big an issue as one might think, I am not wild about this design. But the thought that touching the fan is somehow going to hurt you is laughable.
Would be nice if could get an led that would do main beam n normal beam in one.
Looks like a US 120V mains plug on the resistor pack
You recommend them for Projector housings. But I have then in my reflector housing. And they were perfect immediately. Not blinding. But I still went to get my headlights beam aligned just for other drivers safety and it only needed like 2/3mm of adjustment each way and the pattern was perfect. So it wouldn’t blind them. For me I’d advise everyone to re-align If they have reflectors
Avais Hussain no they're blinding and there's too many idiots out there doing the same as you. Less confident drivers brake hard when they're dazzled. I'm saying this having had an accident due to this issue from a new driver in front of me.
NightcoreCentral Disagree. My friends and family with projector and reflector all have them these last 2 years. They’re still working. And they had alignments checked or altered during MOTs and I swear I’ve never once been blinded by them. If you don’t align properly I’m sure they’re blinding. But they pass all MOT inspections for dazzling and blinding drivers. Otherwise I’d have failed my MOT and blinded others. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Actually that's related to the size and position of the chips. Many people buy those giant cheap LED chips instead the smaller ones, resulting in a blurry blinding beam. Small and more expensive chips like the XM-L2 works pretty well on stock reflectors, like on the Fiesta Mk5.
Avais Hussain hi as a night time hgv driver I personally hate these light and feel they are dangerous you can always tell the age of the car that is dazzling you by the beam of the lights and the ridiculous brightness should be illegal to sell them
Ti M Correct! I used a Philips Luxeon ZES chipped bulb on my scooter with a reflector lens and you can see the cut off line of the beam pattern. It’s the cheap ones that splatter light everywhere, not the well designed ones that mimic a decent quality bulb. I have never been flashed yet and don’t dazzle people. All about the fitment and adjustment.
Are these error free?(does the car think the headlights are out when these bulbs are installed)?
Where can i buy it
I can dig it.
Why do you own an Astra, a Corsa and a Fiesta? Surely there's a better use for your money
By highquality ordinary bulbs instead. There is a big difference in a namebranded bulb and a cheap nonamebulb.
Sweet think I'll be getting some of them for the veccy
What kind of camera are you using?
lol $139?? They have the exect same thing on aliexpress for 20 bucks and I doubt they will be worse than these.
yellow is good for foggy conditions, legal in the uk
what about the MOT
Can you fit these on a mercedes w202
nice review pal
