Dang it I'm to late to win them darn hate I missed it
Congratulations, you have won! Email me at: scotty.mechanic@gmail.com with your full name and address, so I can mail you these LED bulbs! And thanks to all entrants, don't worry, there will be another giveaway this Monday!
Scotty Kilmer thanks so much still shocked I won can't believe it can't wait to get them . I sent you a email and everything just thought i let u know thanks alot Scotty.
Lucky
I thought I won the headlight bulbs cause you pinned my comment but I received a tire pressure monitor in the mail and I thought the other guy one that not me I mean Scotty I'm not mad or anything I really do appreciate what you did and I won something but I just thought maybe u got me confused with the other guy lol or something cause I won the headlights bulbs
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 😂 wait, so u didnt get the bulbs?
There are some mechanic channels that are really great and informative but watching Scotty's channel is always like getting a lesson from your uncle or something lol the straight to the point lessons and witty dad jokes are gold
Erniel Flores except the healthy dose of wrong percentage is about the same too, unfortunately.
My engine revs every time I watch one of your videos, Scotty!!! Luv your intelligence and humor...keep up the good work!
Scotty is not only a life saver, but also a pretty generous guy
I'm considered a "millennial" and learn any possible way I can, which includes my time being spent watching TH-cam "fix it" videos like this one. Scotty you're the man and i appreciate your passion and how you get to the point and shoot it straight. Keep it up. It gives guys like me who want to learn more about this stuff a chance to do just that.
Millennials are treated a little too unfairly sometimes. I'm Gen X and will be the first to criticize but also being Gen X I have the unique perspective of what happened to the world and why it's where it is today, with its pluses and minuses. I know many of them are a product of the world they grew up in, and the masses have always gone along with what they're fed to a point.
Millenials have a lot to deal with the previous generations didn't so I don't judge individuals, just observe what's wrong with the generation in general. There are plenty of Millenials such as yourself who are responsible people, even though it may not have been taught to them and are told now they don't have to be.

Scotty Kilmer i have a 2002 nissan altima that was overheating due to bad fans. I replace them now the car won't start. It cranks but no start. What may cause that ? Thanks
Scotty Kilmer
Nice video, thank you for helping us
Gimme some
Scotty Kilmer Thanks for the opportunity, but quick question. Do all bulbs fit every car? (Connector wise)
Hello Scotty, it is probably worth mentioning that not all halogen lights can be replaced with LED on the spot. Often you need install lenses to fix beam. For example there are no H4 LEDs that you can install directly without lenses. I mean of course the socket is the same but you will be blinding other drivers without lenses. So the rule of thumb if you car comes with halogen from the factory, leave it as it is.
Scotty you light up our lives!
hahahahahhaha
Thanks for keeping us updated, Scotty.Technology keeps getting better and eventually cheaper. I remember when halogens first came out and people were complaining that they were too bright and would blind oncoming traffic.
You are the Bill Nye of auto repair! I love it. I've learned so much in literally the past hour because of how you teach. Ty. Keep doing what you're doing it's awesome.
Scotty is my favorite youtuber
Love your videos Scotty. I think you also forgot to mention that LEDs last MUCH longer than traditional halogen bulbs, useful for replacing for brightness and longevity
Best Mechanic. I have learned so much watching Scotty over the years. He has changed my perception of cars and brought me closer to them.
Scotty, love your channel and website. Keep up the good work! You make a difference for us DIYers who need to save some money and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. You’re the man!
I get such a kick out of your videos. Always, short and informative!
Dude ive watched over 30 of your videos today i learned so much stuff thanks
I love how your videos are short and to the point. they’re not lengthy and are packed full of awesome tips and tricks. keep up the amazing work!
This is such a great, unique car mechanic channel, it's not just your typical boring tutorial channel, you make it fun and exciting and draws more people in. I'm loving this channel and keep up the great work!
Scotty got the best Mechanic show ever in the history of TH-cam. Hands down, great content, great jokes and straight to the point. Also hates new European cars :P haha
Keep up the vids man!!! Been a long time watcher!
Mr. Scotty, I came across one of your TH-cam videos a few months ago and now I’m hooked. I really appreciate the great advice you share. Keep up the great work!
Scotty thanks for all your informative TH-cam videos I’ve learned so much from them. I’m a mom but not very mechanical but watching your videos has really been extremely helpful to me as I have a mazda6-I 2004 and it’s needed a lot of work done over the past 2 years. My son raves about you he loves your TH-cam videos as well. He does his own work on his cars but when he’s not sure how to do a job on his car he goes right to your videos.
Love this channel so much I come here to learn something new every day
My favorite car channel on yt
Hey Scotty, I found your video on fixing ball joints some time back and have been watching ever since, keep it up!!
Scotty, I've looked into replacing my halogens before. Thanks for demonstrating how easy it is.
Those led are brighter then my future.
TheHB'STech JZ than*
You proved your own point for using the wrong than/then.
Hurts just like when "your" and "you're" are used to destroy other words!
TheHB'STech JZ indeed
led's
Never miss a video!
Love your channel, Scotty! I have looked at LED bulbs in the past and converted all of my interior illumination lights already.
As a fellow mechanic I enjoy seeing how ppl do things different. Good job! Keep up the work
LEDs also resist vibration much better, I’ve been running LEDs for highs, lows, fog lamps, tag lamps, backup lamps for about two years now and I have NOT had to replace one yet. Soon I’ll be doing all of my interior dome, vanity, map and cargos. Not sure about the tails and turn signals, I really just like the pure white light and visibility, longevity is just a bonus with LEDs and they’re easier on the battery and alternator too.
Eric Fortune Jr. Same here, wanted to convert all interior lights to either white or green led
Did the interior light a long time ago, and added extra in the trunk to give light, as the original one there was both poorly sited and barely visible. I used some aluminium U channel and LED tape to get a light bar that provided even light without glare.
Hello Scotty, maybe you can make a video about adding stronger reverse light to a car? Most cars reverse light is mainly sygnalyzing that you reverse, than iluminating dark road behind you.
Adrian90GT just change reverse light bulb
Been wanting to do this for quite some time. Thanks for the info!
Put some compatible bulb, but with more watts..
More watts you say, I should look for that bulb, because led"s for reversing lights arent brighter at all. Thanks to everyone for response by the way, and qick tip, if you have week reverse light (bulb just burned or so) switch on rear fog light for extra light.
I was talking to a mechanic just last night about installing LED's on my CR-V. Today, Scotty posted this video. Not a coincidence - I MUST be the winner of the giveaway!
i have a question for you ? would a 2004 Chrysler Magnum front end work on a 2001 PT cruiser ?
Hello scotty can you make new video about rear alignment on all the component that leads so that this alignment grace for your attention
Bought a pair for $6.50 on ebay a year ago for my g35. Only problem to get them so cheap I had to wait 25 days from China. But I saved money.
Thanks for the video. Don’t led lights require a converter kit? Could you also post the link to these lights. I’d love to have those on my 2017 crv and 2018 rogue.
Keep up the great work, Scotty! Always love watching your videos.
It's all fine and dandy, but what about blinding ongoing traffic and melting the snow in winter?
Rev up your LEDs...!
Great video! Thanks Scotty. Perfect timing too; I've been thinking about upgrading my halogens to LED, and currently looking around for something.
Your years of knowledge is great to see being put to use in this way, for newbies and DIY enthusiasts alike. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and I look forward to see what else comes in the future.
My car has a projector headlamp. Tried using the LED, it was bright, but it didn't projector as far as a HID bulb.
I'm gonna stick HIDs for it. Maybe a different LED bulb will do it?
Got the same problem with LED in projectors.
The projector blocks much light, projector = HID unless you got matrix led :p
HID is best...has best light color too...most like daylight. They are expensive but look and work best.
Toyota has perfected this in their bi-LED projector headlights. But when i peaked into one of them they are using a big ass LED about close to 2 inches wide and focused only on the front. then the projector housing has a flap that controls the hi and low beams similar to bi-xenon projectors. so yeah, you may have the wrong bulb,
I'm about to go buy some for my truck now lol, I might be able to see something for once.
Flowingwand83 I'm guessing you drive a Chevy
I always wondered what the big difference was between led and halogen lights. I hate cloudy headlights. My mechanic said he'll charge me to get my headlights caps shined up. Never mentioned led lights to stop it though. I need led lights in my car. Thanks again Scotty for the information. You rock dude
Thanks for the tip Scotty. I'll be upgrading my halogens now. Aftermarket halogens can provide better lighting, but at the cost of shorter life. These LEDs seem to be the best of both worlds and their affordable to boot.
Scotty , pardon the first person , but I think of you as my kind of person , we could use someone like you in Greece , as we get ripped off by mechanics every single day !
No worry, you are NOT alone. We get ripped off here in the USA too!
A nice clean non-offensive comment
Will work good and fit on my 2010 Mazda 6 low beam?
Just changed my headlights on my 4Runner using that Amazon link you provided. Also helped several of my friends with theirs and they saved like hundreds of dollars instead of going to the dealership.
Best mechanic on TH-cam!!
LED headlights are a BRIGHT IDEA!
you deserve to win this time
I ringed that bell since 2012. Kudos.
I love this channel I’ve been watching it for a long time and you always have great content! You have really helpful and informative videos. Plus I could use new headlights for my truck😉
Scotty, you “light” up my life.
I did not even know they are so simple to change it .i love them specially in my country who it has very poor lighting !
Γιώργος Χεριστανίδης there not all that easy lol I have to take mine out of the car to get to the bulbs lol
Depends on the car man lol. My Nissan frontier was just like the video but my civic and jeep I had to take the bumper off for both.
Mr.Kilmer, I love your videos. Whenever I have a question, I search your videos for the answer. Thank you for what you do.
Scotty!! You are awesome. Keep the videos rollin'
Man you are fun to watch thanks for all you do!
I rung the bell 🔔
Walshy014 I rang the bell 🛎 and subscribed !
Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. You're smart Scotty! I'm going to be watching your videos now for my car needs , and stuff that I should do and should not do that would benefit my car, and my fiance's car thank you man
Scotty you help me with your tips and tricks for years thankyou very much for creating this youtube channel!!!
I ringed that bell years ago.

In europe is banned to put led or xenon headlights in normal halogen lights because blinds the traffic . To have xenon hradlights or led you need ti have washer headlights and auto leveling. If you don't have that in europe you get a pretty big ticket and your registration is taken. Cheers
challange100 Yup. That's the way it should be everywhere. 🙂 blinding others won't help you. For all you know they'll come and crash into you.
not here, ,, for now. ..just saying. ..
Edgar Vargas not here where, Edgar? US?
In the Netherlands it is allowed.
Only dazzling lighting can result in a fine.
Matter of good adjustment and you have no problem
challange100 HID as well. You can’t have HID without auto levelling.
Been watching your videos for years keep on uploading these awesome videos
I been watching you for years, keep it up Scotty!!
Is it true if you put led light bulbs in cars made for halogen it blinds other drivers on the road?
segacorpceo
Yes, but you can aim your headlights down to not blind other drivers.
well I get blinded on a regular basis by these fancy new cars, these BMWs, Lexus, Mercs, loaded with LEDs and all sorts of futuristic gimmicks, so I cant see any problem on putting them on older cars
I know, I saw it, my problem is with these new cars . I guess down here (Straya) things might be a bit different
Christopher S those new cars you are talking about still don’t dazzle drivers, they are possibly using full beams. No German cars I come across dazzles me. Maybe some nissans but that’s about it. This is the UK though where we can have full led lights. I’m pretty sure they are banned in the US
Use a led projector, retrofit it onto your healights to not blind everyone on the road. I-profile bi-led is a good option
non-offensive comment? someone already got offended by this probably :P
I'm offended by offended people. lol
anime offends me
7 years i learn from you has made my life easier thanxs Scotty!!
I have been watching your videos and fixing my cars. Respects!
Would I need projector housings to use LED bulbs? Or are the stock reflector housings fine? Don't feel like blinding everyone hahaha
Jonah GT-Four word of advice, leds are terrible on projectors, for whatever reason they never project a good distance, sure you get the color, but you never feel confident at night or in rain...expensive HIDs like morimotos or GTR lightings or just keep a nice 35w halogen, cheap HIDs are terrible as well just my 2 cents.
Scotty thanks for these awesome videos. Btw these would be great on my ‘15 Sentra.
Multi-thousandaire Thanks for the input man, I might just try a better halogen 👍
See the beam patterns @ 2:12
If you look at a halogen low-beam bulb you'll notice a tiny reflector just above the filament to limit the beam height. The LED bulbs in this video direct light upwards, thus blinding other road users. The LED bulbs with the single downwards facing LED maybe better but I can't vouch for how much light they'll give you or if the beam pattern will be perfect.
it doesn't matter i run them in helagon reflective housings and i get blinded my projector headlights too. so it doesn't matter what they are in you will blind people but you will be able to see a lot Better
Would this work with the 2002 Lexus es300 cars?
Best automotive channel on TH-cam! hands down
Great video Scotty! LED's are the way to go. Brighter, less heat, efficient lights. They look good too. 🙂😎
Just one thing. Some people do not adjust the level after fitting LED's and that causes it to be blinding for on coming traffic even when dipped (not high beam). People should remember to adjust the levelling/focus if the lights have a different size than the original. 🙂
I want them! Badly....
Earth shaker 😐😐🙄🙄, I wish to have them, badly....
Earth shaker but I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it...... 😐😐😭😭 BADLY!!
Earth shaker err.... Do they last?
Your channel has helped my shine Light on my car! Thanks Scotty
Thanks Scotty.Didnt know they were making these replacements for cars. Changed out on my harley years ago.
I'm blind!
Roberto Buenrostro My eyes ! ! !........ The glasses they do nothing ! ! !
Those LEDs look like high beams. Can't see anything with oncoming LED lights.
you're so right about that; esp. in NYC, with these coming at you, it's hard to see the pedestrians! This causes more danger than help.
Scotty, you are a inspiration for car mechanic yoga, the best class for men exercise. Your youtube canal is fun and always practical.
I've been looking at replacing my headlamps with LED's. This gave me some good info. Thanks Scotty.
Putting LEDs in conventional reflector housings is a bad idea. The light will scatter everywhere blinding oncoming traffic.
I find even some new cars with stock LEDs can be blinding
I did that in my 99 ranger, and I eventually switched back to my halogen. Plus in winter the halogen keeps the assemblies from freezing over.
carbonunit Most LED lights have chips where would be glass on the halogen bulb, that little difference will mess with the beam pattern.
blinding others... what do you care:D
It can be seen even on the garage door that the LED lights point much higher than the original lights...
Nice video Scotty, but those Amazon LED lights or nothing but crap. The best LEDs headlights are from GTR lighting the Gen 3 they are awfully pricey, but worth every penny. I have them on all my vehicles, 08 Toyota Yaris, 2010 Lancer Evolution, and now on my 2018 Chevy Colorado LT. I've done a lot of research and these are the best LEDs money can buy.
Rumer1 where you got them?
Rumer1 no the amazon lights are amazing
Rumer1 can you send me the link to those GTR LEDs?
Those and Supernova V3s are awesome AND they don't blind provided the headlight housings are aimed properly
Hey Scotty great video! Quick question. I hear you need to put a resistor in the circuit to maintain the same load as a halogen lamp since the LED bulbs use less energy, especially for turn signals. Is this true?
Scotty, I always wanted to change to LED bulbs in my cars but concerned about the halogen housing being compatible with plug and play bulbs and also reading about the heat sinks generating too much heat and being an issue. What is your advice on this?
Even with the H7 version that fits into my car, winning these unfortunately wouldn't do anything for me, because I wouldn't be allowed to use them, since they are not ECE certified. There are no ECE certified LED retrofit headlight bulbs available. So it'll stay Halogen for me, no matter what.
So do I.......and i have some spares in my car as well as fuel /oil ....and a spare tire . .
Seegal Galguntijak wat u mean
MuttonChop Red would these LED lamps be ok on my 2017 Civic?, it has regular halogen lamps.
MuttonChop Red ohh ok, yeah only the Touring Civic model comes with LED headlights. Thank you for your reply.
Á Coruña It'll be okay if your civic has a projector style housing. I wouldn't recommend putting these or hids in a reflector style housing.
LED's are too white at 6500K - far too white for safe night driving IMO as they impact your eyes night vision causing your pupils to contract and your rod cells to depolarize, compromising your night vision, especially your peripheral vision - 4000-5000k is where they should be. Funny enough bulb & vehicle manufacturers used to know this which is why cars used to have quite yellow headlamps - they are actually safer - but over the years white and even blue spectrum became popular and the science went out the window in favor of fashion and false perception that closer to daylight = safer. Now you get blinded by oncoming vehicles with 6000K+ headlamps so you have no choice but to combat your loss of night vision by increasing the brightness and whiteness of your own beams so your cone cells can get enough light to see, your peripheral vision is pretty much gone regardless and you are driving in a light tunnel - it has become an arms race with no actual improvement in safety - simply because people don't understand physics and biology.
This is true if the foreground light is brighter than the background light, which is why you shouldnt drive with your foglights turned on when it isnt foggy. OEM LED and OEM HID headlights have brighter, whiter light in the background and the light is projected (or reflected) further out onto the road.
This is not a problem for OEM and projector units because the light beam pattern is further into the background and not as bright in the foreground.
Putting in HID bulbs or LED bulbs in halogen housing causes the beam to be bright in the foreground which would compromise your night vision as well as scattering the light everywhere which blinds oncoming traffic and other drivers.
Science can come again and fix things... ...why not polarized windshields? You can even look at the sun! (Ok, I'm exagerating, but polarized does make ot easier, and we wouldn't need sunglasses in the car)
There are 5000K LED headlight bulb on the market as well.
There are 4300K as well as 3000K bulbs... doesnt change the fact that these bulbs should be used in the correct housing.
I've only seen the 6500K lights on the shelves here which I wouldn't consider using - if I could find a 5000K LED H4 replacement from a reputable manufacturer I'd consider it. I'm not sure about the whole scattering argument - would that not depend on the bulb manufacturer? If they are an H4 bulb designed to replace an H4 halogen unit and the produce the same light output with the bulk of light to the sides (to the reflector) with the tip masking cutoff required by an H4 housing - which the Australian made Narva units I looked at certainly did, I fail to see how they are really any different other than perhaps producing more light and using less power and lasting longer? The problem was they were both brighter and whiter, and IMO that's not safe.
I so need those LEDs!! I have HIDs but they were harder to install. Do those come with ballast or no??
I love watching your videos , it really helps alot . I know hardly nothing about cars but with your videos I'm learning alot
They're expensive, they scatter light, and the color temperature is terrible for driving.
Putting in HID bulbs or LED bulbs in halogen housing causes the beam to be scattered which blinds oncoming traffic and other drivers. Please dont do this and get proper projectors for these types of bulbs.
mujjuman that is completely wrong only hid lights cause that led lights don’t and led lights are dot approved for regular reflector housings
You're misinformed and totally wrong. LED bulbs in halogen housing causes light scatter and blinds other drivers. You need to put them in proper housing or do a proper retrofit.
An item being "DOT Approved" causes a lot of confusion. "DOT Approved" lets you know that the equipment meets certain minimum Federal NHTSA standards, but it does not mean the item is safe for the road or even lawful to use. There are "DOT Approved" items that are flat out illegal in some states.
You clearly don't know what you are talking about then HAM. If you didn't need a specific projector, more manufacturers would switch to LEDs as the cost would only be slightly more, but they could market it with all the benefits of LEDs.
The Corolla is the cheapest car I believe that offers LED headlights standard on every trim. If you ever looked at one, you would notice that it is not in the reflector housing and instead in a projector specifically for an LED. Honda's 10th gen Accord is a very good example as well as all new Acura models.
Instead of telling Mujjuman with your wrong answer that he/she isn't even right to begin with, do a little research. I myself have done a complete HID retrofit on my Accord even though it already had projectors in the assembly. The only problem was that they were for halogen bulbs.
Christian Lamey try putting led lights in projector housing you won’t see anything at night, the projectors that come with halogen equipped vehicles don’t work very well with led head lights. And it is completely legal for people to put these led headlights in reflector housings, please do your research before backing up someone that doesn’t know what he is talking about. HID lights and LED lights are completely different and each have a different use. Try putting hid lights in a reflector housing that is what blinds other drivers on the road led lights don’t.
So true Christian Lamey, even with projectors, you need to make sure that it's a projector for the proper bulb.
Regardless of being projector or reflectors, they need to be designed for the proper bulb.
For example, the F30 BMW came with specially designed reflector style Bi-LED headlights, and some older model Lexus came with reflector style HID xenon headlights from the OEM.
All new Corollas come with LED projector headlights, because these projectors have the best beam pattern. They didnt just dump a pair of LED bulbs into their old halogen reflectors. Same with BMW. They redesigned the reflectors to be able to use the Bi-LED chips.They didnt just dump a pair of LED bulbs into their existing halogen reflectors.
If you want to use LED, buy LED projectors and do a proper retrofit. If you want to use xenon, buy HID xenon projectors and do a proper retrofit. There are kits and guides available on the forums that make it relatively easy if you are good at DIYing. Or you can pay a professional retrofitter and get it done properly.
I just wanted to say how nice your video's are and thank you for the best video's ever made for us all..
Great video Scotty Kilmer, you helped me make a decision on installing new LED bulbs on my car.
I switched to led about a month ago it's too bright, I literally other drivers slowing down when I pass because they can't see the road cause my lights are to bright, I'm switching back to halogen today just not to cause any problems with other drivers.
Have you tried adjusting your headlights?
almost everyone installing these lights don't give one fig bout blinding others ( me me only me -I'm the best)

Mars Lucius I love his style!! Simply unique. And that bell in the end. 🔔 Lmao.
Converting mine today! Thanks Scotty
Great video! I was thinking of upgrading my halogen lights. This makes it seem easy to do.
Nice clean comments incoming
Uh-oh, we've got a naughty nellie!
Put a much brighter Chinese LED in your headlight so you can blind oncomind traffic. In europe they fine you for that and take your car's identification card so you can't drive until you change back to stock. In my opinion, you can use whatever light source, but first fit projectors to your headlights.
Iliescu Benyamin what other dumb laws do they have?
Well we have tax on vehicles directy proportionate with the volume of the engine, well sort of...the tax is 50$ a year for a 2 liter, 200$ a year for a 2.6 liter engine, and keeps doubling from 3 liters, then 3.5 liters onward, so for a large v8 you pay as much as 2.500$ a year just tax. You can't swap an engine wich was not originally fitted to that model and year without bribing someone...
Greetings from Australia Qld...Your videos are soooo information that it turned a dumb person like me into a backyard mechanic..I own a 2011 Toyota Fj cruiser..It used to cost me an arm & a leg a Toyota dealership for minor repairs but now i do it myself..Thanks to Scotty kilmer channel😍😍
watching Scotty is like watching a movie in a big screen and eating popcorn
love it
