In this video, I get my hands on some LED headlights bulbs from Auxbeam. I go over the differences between them, along with showing you the difference in light output, along with colour temperature. These LED’s were installed in a set of projector lenses for my low beams, and in a reflector housing for my fog lights.
They were a huge upgrade compared to the regular halogen bulbs. The light output is better, driving at night time will be safer, and they look a lot nicer than the traditional yellow bulbs.
NOTE When installing the lights in your headlight housing, if the light coming out from the headlights does not have a nice cutoff, you should not drive with them on the roads as you will blind on-coming drivers as the headlights will scatter the light, as opposed to direct it onto the road.

The talking doesn't stop but yeah, that's when what you came for starts.
Thank you good sir
Must have some braindead viewers to go that far into detail 🤦♂️
Noises thanks 🙌🏽🙌🏽😂
Anthony M i mean it’s your car, what’s wrong with wanting the light color to be what u want
save me alot of time man :))
how much horsepower does this add to the vehicle?
25 per headlight :)
milanmastracci you answered as i was watching lol
milanmastracci what color rating is this 10000k?
Mauro Beltran lol
Mauro Beltran it depends on the color temp...if you put a 400k set you will gain around 45hp at the wheels.. see the logic?
For LED lights, there are still lots of eye health issues on debate. I am worried if LED headlights, especially strong blue colored, may affect other drivers' eyes health conditions or even temporary issues like bothering driving conditions.
Thank you for considering the other drivers like me😊
LED light in my eyes feels like staring right at the sun. It's quite annoying
It is a major issue, it is no different than people having their brights on…
Amen to the brights on comment. I would love to drive around with my brights on if I could limit it to only LED people, but of course, there is the person like myself that won’t stand for putting those LEDs in my car and blinding regular, harmless (non- LED) commuting citizens.
I changed low beams from Osram Nightbreakers halogens to LEDs in my euro Accord. I have projector and H1 socket. I like LEDs better, especially when driving on country roads, LEDs give better light to right side, and I have better visibility in bushes, so I could potentially see better animals. And with LEDs all road signs, reflectors are far more brighter. Downsides - it's harder to see potholes and on wet driving conditions everything dark. I left halogens in my fog lights, so I am using these to get little bit yellow light and see better potholes and wet road.
I compared light with aftermarket HID on similar Accord. Results are pretty similar.
You just work so hard to show us this great video I really appreciate it thanks
ikr i love this dude
Remember only put these in projector housings.
so for high beam use the halogens? :( that would suck with the led
LEDs don't work well in projectors. Only hid does.
Nope fuck you grandpa
brighter doesn't mean a more focused beam. you get a bright scattered light that doesn't help you see farther down the road. don't waste your time and money.
Haha i see much farther with LEDs. Dumb statement by you
Remember, LEDs are only good if you have projector headlights. If you have reflector headlights you're going to have a bad time and blind other road users.
i tried led for a while and installed it in my headlight projector, the long range visibility was zero and it blind oncoming cars so I uninstall them and reinstall the stoke halogen.
Thank you for uninstalling them. Every other oncoming driver thanks you also.
By doing so you probably saved someones life. THANK YOU!
you are nice and smartest.
My retinas thank you. They will take a little less damage.
One of the smartest responses on here ; ) No doubt you realised too late that you wasted a lot of money! : (
TURK
Excellent job putting this together! so much easier to install than the what i had to go through many years ago doing aftermarket hid lights. at least they finally got the plug n play part down. thanks for the vid.
That cutoff looks like shit. There's light everywhere above the line.
Wow, skipping right to 13:00 really saved me from having to watch a bunch of bullcrap and got straight to the point!
Yeh too much talking 😓😓
Thx!!
During the winter, that halogen's "wasted energy" is actually rather beneficial, since it melts your headlight from any snow and frost.
you’re a beta male
12:20 nice transition
People bashing on people because they get brighter lights and blind them...
Bash on people who don't get their lights properly leveled. That's the issue, not the bright lights.
If you don't know how to level them, ask a mechanic to do it.
That pisses me off more than anything. Even halogen lights that aren't properly aligned are irritating
if you have a low car and balance it properly you wont have a problem ;)
I guess that means I will have to swap my 20" tires and rims off my F-150 and perhaps even put a lowering kit on to, as they say, GET DOWN!
Bandjalah yep all you have to do is adjust them on your car. My car as adjustments for up down left right so you can get them perfect same with the fog lights they just go up and down
It is annoying when these dumbasses get super bright lights that shines like a spotlight. Please adjust your lights to shine correctly people.
Is this legal in your country? In Poland for example if I had a crash while using this LEDs It would be my fault because of illegal lights.
This is a poor video and fairly deceptive. Pay c,lose attention to the shots of the halogen vs LED on the wall, you can tell that the halogen has a better hotspot near the center of the beam giving you a further throw of light and allowing you to see more into the distance. The LED light however has a poor to no hotpsot giving a poor throw of light but a lot more light closer to the vehicle. This will give the illusion that the LED is brighter as it is lighting up more area closer to the car but you cannot see as far.
Correct. You can also see it at 13:41. The foreground is brighter, at the expense of the total distance lighted up by the halogen bulbs. It is actually worse if you have a very bright foreground, because your eyes adjust to this and lower your ability to see objects in the distance.
This is why I run LED headlights and halogen high beams. Best of both worlds.
Blueish lights are ugly and unpleasant to use. Blue is the first light spectrum to get diffused by particles and moisture. You get short throw in foggy and snowy conditions. Blueish light also harms night vision and depth prescription.
Well said.
I tried out some leds from eBay and couldn't see shit at night :D
that fucking face lmao
Clue word ebay lmao
UserPauli2592 I just bought LED low beam light on Ebay, paid 60$ and it sucks, color of light is beautiful, but they are not so bright light regular halogens.
fruitydudexD for real lmfao
Solution is IPF LED HEADLIGHTS bulbs.
Great video, but I was confused on your Accord bulb configuration...did you install the F-16's in the lowbeam and the F-S3's in the fogs? What did you install in the high/DRL position? Thanks,
LED’s might be better, but they’ll blind whoever you drive by that’s why I can’t stand LED’s
Only in improper, illegal retrofit. Properly designed stock LED headlights ought to be fine (unless it's on a vehicle that sits very high...)
David Hsieh in Australia everybody buys SUVs that are just jacked up hatches and they come with super bright LEDs by default. When people turn high beams on on the country roads it’s incredibly dazzling and honestly scary. I’m surprised I or my friend (who we took turns driving) didn’t have an accident will all these Incredibly bright high beams. IF THERE’s A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY HAVE HIGH BEAMS ON, TURN YOURS OFF. Sometimes even low beams can be somewhat dazzling but nothing compared to the high beams.
They said that about halogens 40 years ago
That first Philips chip bulb had a far better cut off. That last one had a bunch of glare that will kill an oncoming drivers eyes. A halogen projector is not designed for LED, same goes for reflector. It tends to lead to glare and spotty output. Some LED bulbs are able to be clocked to help lower the glare, maybe even remove it. You have to tune the bulb to work within the housing. Sometimes, the bulb just can't be tuned so it should not be used. Yet, so many people out there think it is awesome driving with blue lights. Not only is it killing other drivers, it is reducing that drivers vision. People are falsely thinking vision is better because it is so bright.
you should've compared HALOGEN, LED and HID.
MrAmarcial , I have compared LED to factory halogen bulbs and difference's is day and night.
Night and day?
I have aftermarket projector halo headlights with a led strip for the DRLS(I just need to get the DRL Canceller installed in my highbeams that are running as my DRLS, along with the LED strip & the halos. My lowbeams & highbeams are H1now & NOT 9006 low/9005 high/DRLS. Both of the incandescent bulbs that came with the retrofit halos headlights were both rated at 55w. I upgrade the lowbeam H1 to an HID CONVERSION KIT @ 8000K. I need to know what LED do I need to run my highbeams? I have 2 LED lights for the highbeams, but they don't overpower the lowbeams. I need to know what wattage highbeam LED, I need to overpower the highbeams. The 8000K lowbeams HID LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE TURN SIGNAL COLOR(I HAVE LED SWITCHBACK TURN SIGNAL) WHEN THE PARKING OR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON! MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN 4CYL HAS ALL LED LIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THE HID HEADLIGHTS ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE, BACK-UP, 3RD BRAKE LIGHT & ALL THE INTERIOR & TRUNK LIGHTS ARE LED, THOSE THAT NEED LOAD RESISTORS WERE DONE BY PROFESSIONALLY. I JUST NEED TO KNOW THE WATTAGE OF LED FOR THE HIGHBEAMS(H1 NOW & NOT 9005 IF THEY HAD THE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS)!!! I BOUGHT THE LIGHTS FROM SPYDER, AND SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK IT UP FOR THE 8T GEN ACCORD/08-12 ACCORD SEDAN EX-L, I HAVE THE 2012 HONDA ACCORD EX-L SEDAN 4CYL. THAT HAS H1 BULBS NOW!!!! I WANT SOMETHING THAT'S IS CLOSE TO THE 8000K, THAT WILL OVERPOWER THE LOWBEAMS WHEN I NEED THE HIGHBEAMS.
Oran Seay you sure got yourself in a pickle sir. Did you fix this yet, I’m curious.
The purpose of headlights is for visibility in low visibility conditions, ie inclement weather and night driving. As long as you can see what's in front of you and not blind oncoming traffic in the process, you're good.
So LED car bulbs have fans on the and a processor; more things to go wrong.
There are models without a fan.
Dude super great video, this is what I was looking for, currently just got a 2016 Scion TC 10 series. Thanks bro.
He's obsessed with selling jazz and pizas to the millennial crowd and the idea of REAL performance is not in his vocabulary. I don't WANT a tinge of blue in my headlights and I ALSO do not want my lamps to blind oncoming traffic. He speak ABOUT these things but he essentially glosses over the idea. He jumps from one concept to another without exploring the particular issue at hand-like going out to 'show' the performance of the main beam LED's but he has both main and fog lights on. Can't make a comparison with such foolishness. Stay on the issue of lighting performance and let the marketing people wow the kids with some extra pocket change by prettying up the packaging.
Question is what happens if LED fan fails? Would lead to a 🔥 fire? 🤔
I bet they'd be fine. and if not, the LED would just not work because the chip would burn out. It wouldn't get hotter than a normal halogen bulb for sure
@@TheCalmbrain lolz 😜😜😜
@@TheCalmbrain The headlight housing FOR SURE...
Fog lights are designed to light up the peripheral area in FOG and therefore attempt to light around the road in front of you. Main beams simply light up the fog directly in front of you (completely blinding you) and that's why fog lights are for, guess what, FOG with your headlamps off as your speed is substantially lower.
these LED lights dazzle oncoming motorists and dazzle motorists from behind in their rear view mirrors. I am a vision specialist and I consider these LED lights to be dangerous. Having dazzled the other motorists it leaves them with a degree of night blindness thereafter. I would rather that these lights be legislated against
@matt faragher I couldn't agree more! I think a lot of people just install these LEDs to JUST make their vehicle standout from others. As a senior citizen, I am especially sensitive to the "blue spectrum" light emitted that causes the glare to oncoming drivers.
@@TheOzthewiz I put LED's on my cars because I can't see a thing at night with basic Halogen bulbs, granted. I drive vehicles that are older than I am, however. You can always have the bulbs pointed downwards to avoid blinding other drivers
I hate led lights.. !!!!!!
The color spectrum reflected from LED lights still doesn't match any known incandescent....Light up greens and browns with both colors...you'll see...
Don't waste your time and money on LED headlights!
I dont know mine are pretty nice
Great video my question is what do we do about high beams?
Thanks for this video buddy.
It explains many things that i wanted to know. Many thanks. Merry Christmas
Good :) I'm glad to hear it!! :)
Wow! Nice... totally help me with the decision on buying a set for my car, thanks!!
How to empty the blinker fluid before you change the bulbs? ..Thank you .
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i saw headlights the other day that were purpleish it was so nice looking
No thanks, too bright and too distracting to oncoming drivers.
HAHAHA u bitch ur sad that u don't have bright blue LED lights I can see everything u can't see shit

it may look cool to the driver, but every other driver sees it and notices how it looks like shit. If you want real headlights, buy a car that has had millions of dollars invested into there headlight technology. Buying Chinese made shity bulbs only makes your vehicle look like a cheap pile of crap. You can easily tell when some hack has altered there perfectly operating headlights with these china bulbs.
as long as the car has projection headlight housing, any led light should be fine.
how are you supposed to install these? Most cars headlight housing have a closed cap system which would not allow that big cooling system on back to fit in there. You don't want to leave the cap off because dust, dirt, and moisture will enter into the housing and cloud it up from the inside.
Or the headlight won’t go back in? Its got to be tight quarters on my car. Older car.
So if there is no heat from the LED bulbs how does the snow and ice melt off the fixtures when you’re driving in the winter in CANADA?
that is what I was gonna suggest. Do not buy them if you are mainly be driving snowy/icy condition. It doesnt generate enough eat to melt snow or ice. Friend of mine tried it ,and it as terrible .He went back to halogens
It still gives off heat just not as much as regular bulbs
You wipe them off yourself. Crazy idea right?
I always drive slow af when someone behind me had those kinds of lights I don't need to be blinded when I'm trying to drive
Yeah but with leds u can flash people so they move out of way without causing noise pollution 😆😅😇
@@_rtx_ What of light pollution?
@@vicenteasaro1823 is there something like that even ?
@@_rtx_ Yes? Sound pollution is the measurement for how much sound is created through artificial means, such as industrial, commercial, or even residential activities.
Light pollution is the measurement of excessive light in the atmosphere. Ever try to see stars in a city or wonder what the glow in the far distance from a camp ground is coming from? Same example as the noise pollution, the activities of society create more light and sound (as well as smell, taste, and touch) that wouldnt be there naturally other wise.
@@vicenteasaro1823 thanks for information but light doesnt seem much harm than noise 😃
They should be illegal. I can't drive at night anymore because they blind the hell out of me.
so your the guy always blinding me in traffic with the for off road use only headlights
I try LED and HID bulbs (About $70 each), Both very bright an looks great, But suck on the rain and fog, even worst on nights. Then instal 100W halogens ($10) Don´t looks so grate but are better on multiple driving conditions. Don´t waste you money and time. HALOGEN MAKING MATTER BETTER.
If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it!
LED-lights in cars don't contribute to a better environment at all.
Your battery and dynamo have an overcapacity anyway, so that the halogen gets hot and looses part of the energy is totally irrelevant.
LED-lights are a totally unnecessary and too expensive investment.
You can buy complete H4 sets for less than $2.-
Just make sure you have two spare sets with you in the car, so that you can instantly replace a bulb at any time and all by yourself.
Just keep your car original and functional at the lowest possible cost and don't copmplicate stuff that was originally designed to be simple!
Can you make a video with these bulbs fitted and with your camera ready to film the reactions of ONCOMING drivers... are they DAZZLED by your dipped headlamps... AND.. you shouldn't be using your FOG lamps while you have clear visibility at 100 ft plus...
Make sure to adjust your headlamp.... you'll DAZZLE other drivers... You'll cause an accident...... as for driving on Fog lights - ONLY use them when your visibility drops to less than 100 ft.... wise up people .. you only cause people to slow down because you DAZZLE and BLIND them.... If anyone is Blinding you from the front or from the rear.... reduce your speed so you can react to what you can actually see...
I drive a bike. I hate LEDs sooooooo much. LEDs create a wide circle of light that hides everything behind the car. In an open road where there could be people walking or animals crossing one could easy get into an accident by not seeing beyond the car. Please don't install LEDs. I know they look cool but they are not cool for safety. I would go as far as saying that these types of lights should be banned. Please, I don't want to die. I know it sounds dramatic, but I have almost gone into the ditch a couple of times because I couldn't see the edge of the road. They act like a fog.
Robert Townsend really..led not better?...but i buy honda civic type R fk8...my headlight n tailight all full led light...oem factory?...from honda....i think led so better from halogen and hid kit?.....
Mohd Aliff yes leds are better, but not when you put leds in a halogen housing. They just send the light every where and doesn’t allow on coming pedestrians or drivers see as it blinds them.
I ride a bike too. My 3000 lumen LED flashlight is one of the best things to happen to mountain biking in the middle of the night.
Fellow biker here, I agree.
Lot's of misinformed people in the comments. LEDs may look nice, but in the projector (one with lenses) housing, they aren't as great and can have a worse output than a regular halogen bulb. Plus people get confused and buy cheap crap, the sellers lie to them and false info on the boxes. I recommend HID kits for projector headlights.

Yep, your logic is sound. :rolleyes:

What is so pretty with the cold white led light that glows slightly blue? Nothing! It's not pretty! 3000k 4000k led lights are ok but 5000k to 8000k is not pretty! You do not want the ini the houses or in the garage or in the street lights or work lights. But in the car you will have the ugly cold weak blue led light. Why? wolksvagen golf 2018 has this ugly light all over! I'm so irritated to angry! what's so nice about it? nothing!!!!
How many people have you blinded down the road with these new bulbs? I'm going to have to say everyone you either have to get LED protectors or figure out a way of how to aim your LED being down so doesn't blind people otherwise you get tickets
How much ambient temperature can it stand? I'm from Dubai ussually temp here is 50°c in summer
How are they suppose to be positioned? 9-3 or 12-6? I’ve seen other videos of people positioning the led bulbs both ways so which is the correct?
9-3
@@magictoaster806 The video says 12-6...
Was that final test using high beam ? A good strong high beam is what we strive for, for safer night driving in open country, and low beam with a flat cut off is for the safety of on coming motorists. Thanks for sharing...
what kind of car, requires to screw off the whole front bumper ! glad at mine it was lot easier
I had to remove the entire front bumper on my 2000 Toyota Celica 🤦♂️
@@iidontgiveadam OMG! And I like Toyotas for their reliability!
I skimmed through the video but when it got to him holding a power drill and his whole front bumper off, i thought "F that!" I will stick with halogens!
@@TheOzthewiz To be fair the bumper on a 7th gen Celica isn't that hard to get off and on again, and the sweeping shape of the front means that it is not possible to get the whole light unit off the car without bumper removal.
You can change the bulbs pretty easily without taking the light unit off though. Better to get some decent Osram xenon-effect +120% bulbs if you want bright and clear white bulbs rather then LEDs.
@@Porkchop1967 You can get halogens that are either blue-tinted or crystal clear white from a decent OEM manufacturer and just swap them in. You could also swap your front sidelights (parking lights) for LEDs as just a straight swap.
all I’m seeing is a bunch of angry boomers in the comments lmao. “you millennials have to change everything don’t you?” humans are curious and innovative, we always looks for new ways to improve. halogens get the job done but they aren’t as practical as LEDs. They run hotter, dont last anywhere near as long, don’t provide near as much visibility. what’s so wrong about improving on something that we use everyday? the only time I have ever had a problem with being “blinded” by these is when a car is coming over a hill or someone leaves their brights on. go figure that brights are, um, bright and a direct beam of light to the eyes by a car coming over a hill is a little uncomfortable. can’t wait until you guys hear about the laser headlights that are becoming more and more popular 😂
Putting led bulbs in a halogen projector is a big no no. There is no hotspot when using led bulbs which means that you won't be able to see as far as you would with standard halogen bulbs or HIR ones. Best way to go is with retrofitting true HID projectors. Even the cheapest ones perform better than pnp led or hid bulbs!
Dude, you didn't watch whole video lol. Watch it, you will see how nice cut that projector have with led's
expert20valvehlx The cutoff is indeed nice. You won't blind other people. The problem is the light distribution itself. led bulbs dont have a hotspot. if you don't have a hotspot your distance vision is impaired.
Yeah but for fog lights and low beam its not that much noticiable.

Check out how dim the led bulb is. Even the halogen is brighter than it.
I know that bro, look at end the video you can see how brighter is a led. Best thing to do is bi xenon projector with HID's
So for my car a 02 Pontiac grand Am I really want nice brighter lights I'm about to buy brand new stock clear headlights so HID is not an option I'm not running a harness so from what I'm reading led might not be very safe or a good choice what kind of halogen can I buy that r bright?
Don't know about other states, but Washington State, it is illegal to change the illumination of your headlights/taillights/brake lights... That includes 'shading' the brake lights or taillights. OEM are the only street legal lights.
Will you be cited for it? Probably not. But you do not want an investigation because you were involved in a collision caused by your illegal headlight installation. If someone is blinded by your headlights and crosse the centerline and hits you? YOU are at fault.
The LED headlights have illumination 'panels' on two sides of the 'bulb' instead of a 360 degree projection. So your factory headlight assembly will not be able to be aimed correctly. If you install LED lights, you 100% MUST replace the headlight assembly to match the aiming of the LEDs. Because very few cars have this option, it is illegal....
Absolutely clueless as to the effect that these extra bright - and high end blue light emitters - have on our eyes. Remarkable. Apart from blinding oncoming drivers these lights have minimal impact within city limits or lighted highways ...and most will likely contribute to a future epidemic of macular degeneration. Unbelievable lack of critical thought on this subject.
this is actually illegal to do in the united states because a led or hid lamp needs a projector housing to beam onto the road instead of scatter with reflectors you can actually be pulled over for this and given a very expensive ticket because it can blind oncoming drivers with a scattered beam pattern.
he does have projector housings so he wont be pulled over. i retro fitted my tacoma to projector lens and it is worth it.
If only you knew the amount of people that don’t use projectors in Florida. And certain cars are made stock with hid/led in a reflector housing.
Somehow i find this leds are not that great. Naybe its camera adjusting it self but as we see amount of light just in front of a car is better, range it self seems worse. Diffrence on garage doors is undisputable but its is still just shear amount, not real road performance.
LED sucks compared to HID. I'd recommend Osram CBH/CBI or Morimoto XB35. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Those LED will give out in no time.
Marichelo DeFacto Even if they are good, the light will never be as bright, wide or even shoot for a farther length as an hid. Google Osram CBI and tell me again.
LegitMods4u LEDs are really good at flooding into ditches and reflecting. I find them better for an off-road use. If all you want is distance HID will take the win. I live in an area where there are a lot of wildlife so LEDs are actually perfect so I can see well in the ditches.
laser technology is best.

HID suckss always waiting 15 seconds to get fully color match. Philips Lumileds are very good!
make sure your headlight clips fit.. most headlights oem will not work, led lights are way fatter in the rear.. everyone loves to blind people, hologen is the way to go..costs 8 bucks and cheap to replace.. the stock hologen looks way better on your car.
Don't drive around with your foglights on... Just don't.

blinding other drivers 101.....
Does it look bright during rainy days? I Tried 2 sets of LED kit before which is useless during rainy days, you barely can see the road when the road is wet. LED color temperature are too white to be used during rainy days.
Great demonstration video as always. .!!
Thanks for sharing and keep it right.
Cheers.
A bit incorrect. Unless the drive circuitry is incredibly inefficient, most of the heat is still generated at the bulb, by the LED chips. LEDs don't generate as much heat, but they don't tolerate high temperatures, hence the fan.
I laugh at people that do this with reflector lights. Such a joke. Think it looks cool, yet blinds drivers and produced less light. 😂
Where's the funny part?
LED's are for losers unless its original by design. HID is all u really need. There is no need for anything brighter. Get your eyes checked
as a mechanic im just leting u know i wipe my buggers on cars with those headlights
I bought these LEDs the other day, but they are brighter then fuck. I don't have projector headlights, so I pretty much blinding oncoming traffic. Is there anyway to reduce the brightness? I know they made what I think are called retainers for HIDs, do they make something that goes ever the bulb to reduce the brightness?
Prepare to save money for eye damage from oncoming drivers.
“This is how easy it is” right after unscrewing the bumper and headlight housing using tools. Is that an Accord bro? I’ll need to stay away from those if changing a lightbulb is that much work. Sorry I’m a simple guy so if I can’t use only my hands to change a headlight bulb, I don’t want it.
That’s how dealerships are making money nowadays besides the oils changes. lol
Twist and pull out simple as that.. after the whole bumper is removed lol

Why do you say that?
Yup, basically 6500k or white lights do not penetrate water and just bounces off the rain or fog, causing poor visibility. I have tried installing LEDs and reverted back to halogens.
Same with HID... I had both and they both suck. They're both bright on a dry night. But if it rains they both suck.
that's why u need yellow fog lights...not white like alot of people do
Thanks for the heads up!
I like the yellow 😊
i really dont like blinding other drivers lol
That can happen with cheaper/bad led bulbs. As he points out in the video it's important the led bulbs cuts off light at the same height as the standard bulbs.
That's how you know you have the good stuff
LED low beams and Fogs are a bad idea. If you live in a cold country such as Canada these wont last, nothing beats the reliability of a good quality HID system.
13:24 there is no line, light is everywhere. This setup wont be safe, it will dazzle everyone.
thats because the moron has his fucking fog lights on...fog lights are not focussed or directed, they basically just spray light everywhere. There is a reason most countries ban the use of foglights when it is not actually foggy
Poorly designed conversions will do the same.
I HATE LED's , they BLIND me, and all new vehicles have them!! I don't consider them safe to oncoming traffic
They are extremely dangerous.
LED's are fine. They blind you because when you notice how unusually bright LED's are on an oncoming car, you end up staring directly into the car's lights and get blinded.
"led driver" lol overpriced glorified resistor hahahaha. please call it a resistor my friend
If it was labeled as a resistor, the manufacturer couldn't "mark up" the price by at least 3X...
It's obvious you know nothing about electronics or engineering. A "resistor" LMAO. A resistor would only serve to current limit the LED.
You talked about three LED lights but did not distinguish which when you showed the light on the garage door and why not turn off the fog lights to show the light from only the low beam LEDs?
Great review! Very well thought out! Thanks!
So pissed at this headlight LED Bull Sh!8 and the spread of misinformation. LED headlights stupid.... and this guy dosn't appear to know much about LED. almost all heat is generated AT the led chip, then heat-sync ... I could go on about this... FAN! That little pos will fail then thermal runaway will occur. Asphalt is dark black ish. A blue light wont reflect off dark as well as white light... white light will not reflect off dark better then a yellowish light. (4000K)
Fog lights are supostoo be YELLOW/AMBER for blinding driver and oncoming.
If drivers would only direct their lights correctly or recognize carrying a heavy load will change beam angle.
One more thing, a savvy cop will write you up for running with non DOT lights. (at least in my muni code)
Ya my sentence structure needs work but im just sad to see the spread of misinformation.
People who put LED lights in reflector housing which are designed for halogen bulbs are a big problem.
Terry Monks if angled properly it shouldn’t be a problem whatsoever
This was an excellent review. Thanks.
U said a halogen makes to much heat but funny how the leds need fans to stay cool. Just so all of u know if the fan was to stop working the led will get really hot then shut off, but halogens do not do that...
But leds are brighter.
That’s why the halogens make much more heat.
I hate these blue lights, it may look great to you but they blind other drivers. There should be a law that regulates this.
Glare, Glare, Glare, Glare, Glare!!!!! Even the new corollas with oem led systems glare like crazy, to date quality HID projectors are the widest, throw light the farthest, and glare the least above the horizontal cutoff. What good is more light if it can't be effectively focused?
You're not very smart. Comparing brand new LED bulbs to old halogens..... you know that new halogens would have been brighter than your old ones too right? HID are the only way to go. LEDs will perform like shit in the winter and they dont have the same distance as halogens let alone like HIDs. Only benefit in that they are brighter for the shorter distance they shine. If you're going to make a comparison, make a fair one please!
1MartinPL well shit, if you don't like it, start your own damn channel idiot.
Those were new Halogens... I originally had HID's in my headlights. The reason why I did this video was because my HID's were giving me problems.
1MartinPL my new car has full led option from factory. It's winter time -11 celcius and no problems, also they give me the best vision out of my other 3 cars. I fell in love with Led, in the city during the night it's very easy to see everything. They also look great
lol You should learn something for once in your life... maybe try reading a book you fucking moron.
1MartinPL how about you learn how to hit reply on here or mention who you're talking to.
I firmly believe. A child rapist is way better than some Barry White headlights.
The only problem with this new wave of LED headlights is once that fan goes (and they do) they burn out soon after, you're better off with a set of quality HID's.
true but if you are going to install hid's you are probably gonna need a load balancer and in some country's including mine you are required to install headlamp presure cleaners as well . (so considering all that hassle you moght just be better off installing the leds (less hassle) or stick with hallogen bulbs
Not all have these fans I have a pair without the fans
Road Worthy look into Philips ultinon h4 leds.
I have HID's 6500's I'm good.
Road Worthy HID are sooooo 2012.
its easy to spot who is running HID. one of them is burnt
Just buy a car with xenon or LED lights from the beginning and you won't have any problems with this kinda bullshit.
You gonna blind the shit out of the other drivers
Panchito Lopez He has a projector lense so no he wont. Only in a reflector housing will the light blind everyone
I've got Taurus 2015. Headlights are weak. What bulbs should I get?
