THIS is how you do test reviews. BRAVO AND THANK YOU! Having to spend hours online doing research and cross-referencing and comparing... you made it a LOT easier and saved time in my life. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Shawn! Glad it helped you out! Be sure to check out my other videos, I am making new ones all the time. And if you find value in my work, be sure to hit that THANKS icon here on this video! I'd really appreciate it! 😊
This is the scientific test I was looking for. Lumens don't mean anything when driving on a dark road, but luxes do and performance over extended driving are equally as important. Thanks
I was so stumped which headlight to use. So I took your advice and popped in some Y13’s in my my 2013 Chevy Volt. I’m shocked how great they are. Such a huge vision difference over stock. Don’t hear fan noise inside the car. I appreciate all the work you done to help me make a decision! Thank you very much.
I bet the Q16 would be great in a headlight that has a separate highbeam projector, as you don't usually run those for all that long, and you don't usually have weak spots in highbeam projectors.
I just wanted to come on here after a year later and say you were right on this ! I got the q16s but ended up with y19s beam pattern is perfect on my 14 accord sport no weak spots good catch!
AWESOME CHANNEL. Started by searching a couple items and ended up culling your spreadsheet for a long time. This demystifies the entire field. Really appreciate the info!
May 2022 I bought the Q16’s, just seeing your channel today after clicking through some videos to solve hyper flashing on LED Turn Signals and thought I’d see if my research served me well. Your Q16’s looked different than mine, so I went to check n see what I ordered, guessing the H4 vs H11 is probably the main difference but seems a 2022 updated version (H4/9003) with a different fan style and driver exists now. Curious if the change may have impacted its performance. Auxito seems to be a great company so far. In my Sequoia, as most Toyotas of similar age seem to have issues upgrading to LED’s where there is hyper flashing or no working fog lights issues, at no additional cost they sent out the harness for each light to correct the problem. I’ll be Subscribing after watching this single video, watching for similar content in the future. Well done, and thank you.
Great review. An observation on the Q16: it IS adjustable. There’s a small Phillips screw that’s visible and the collar/ring does move. Curious if the cutoff and spread would be better on your test if it was properly clocked. Question on the Y13: was the bulb clocked to 9/3 o’clock? I did on my projector equipped headlight on these Y13 bulbs and the difference was pretty dramatic on the hotspot size. The properly clocked setup being better.
Ur right. I can see that little black screw on the Q16. For low beams, that is adjustable. But definitely they don’t have adjustable collar for high beams
@@crs1474 if u have 9005 auxito - Q16, would u be able to get the chance to inspect ur high beam led bulbs, and see if u manage to get them adjust just by testing it? When I looked at the image, the collar looks like it’s blowing half of the center of the Philips screw.
That weak spot/shadow is due to light blocked by the central stalk making it Non-360 degree light source. Brighter ones make the shadow look worst because it looks more contrast compared to the brightest spot
The Y13 is a great light. It has a great beam projection, with virtually no dark spots in the front of the car. It's small and light in weight, and slips into the headlight socket effortlessly. I've had a pair in my car for nearly 4 years and they're still going strong. I just wish Auxito would update the light by keeping the design, but upping the lumens. Even if you are not running the Y13s, I would recommend them as a spare set to keep in the car just in case something happens to your installed lights.
Hello, and thank you for the great in-depth review! I just replaced all four of my headlight bulbs with halogens after one of the low-beam bulbs burned out. Since I needed to take care of it right away, I didn't have time to review LED bulbs, but did that aftter the replacement. I ended up ordering Auxito replacement bulbs for all the interior and exterior, and expect the order to arrive today. I noticed that of all five of the lights you reviewed, only one was fanless. I'm still learning a lot about the different options, and wanted to get your feedback on pros and cons of having a fanless unit. Unfortunately, I didn't come across your review until today. If I had seen it sooner, I would have asked this question before placing my order. Hopefully, fanless LEDs are just as good and reliable as fanned units. Thanks, and I look foward to your reply!
I had the Q16 installed for a few days. Honestly, they were TOO bright. Felt like I had high beams on all the time. Not to mention the fan noise was quite loud. Just switched to the M3 and it’s perfect! UPDATE: I have since switched to the Y13’s and they truly are the best bang for your buck!!
@@CarLightReviews came back here to say I switched to the Y13. The m3 were good, but I kept thinking about how the y13’s seemed to be better. Especially with your tests. I have since switched to those, and have returned the other ones. I may be indecisive, but I love these ones! Haha
The dark spot at the bottom of the beam pattern is because the output isn't actually 360* as claimed. There is a dead spot from the board/heat sink. If you rotate the bulb 90* the pattern will change. On my headlights the plug sits about 5 o'clock so the pattern gets really distorted with the fixed tabs.
I bought the Q16 after seeing your test results. To me it seemed to have a good mix of attributes.. high output, low noise, all in one form factor, decent energy usage, and the thing that pushed it over the line for me was they were on sale for 24usd shipped. The biggest problem with the Q16 was that it hit 76 degrees C. which is not that hot, but hot enough to drop the output by 30%. so I made a plan to order some upgrade parts at the same time I bought the LEDs. When it all arrived, I opened up the LED housing using a triangle bit, used some IPA to clean off all the stock thermal paste.. which I have to say was hilariously sparse and inconsistently applied. Added my own ceramic thermal paste which I chose for it's longevity, resistance to pump out and drying, ease of application, and cheap price. However, it's performance at heat transfer is good but nothing special.. probably as good or slightly better than the stock thermal paste if it was applied properly lol. I then added a 28mm x 28mm x 15mm heatsink to the back of the LED housing with some thermal glue.. by luck I had ordered the exact right length/width to fit it perfectly. My car doesn't use a dust cap but it's still fairly cramped in there.. it fit well but could have maybe went 28x28x25 at most. Anyway it all worked out great. light output is very good, the heat transfers into the heatsink excellently. overall hope my mods allow it to stay cooler and in turn stay brighter and last longer.
I actually got Auxito M4 for a customer's car and I noticed how bright it was. So I did a search and found your video, so now I bought the Y13 for my personal vehicle thanks to you. Can't wait to try it.
Hey dude, I'm back to give you my thoughts. I installed the Y13 and ALMOST instantly I noticed they were the brightest LED's I have tried (2013 corolla hatch / projector type headlights). I did some driving around for testing and confirmed these are slightly brighter than the 55w HID setup I used to have a few years back and the last pear I had (NOVSIGHT 50W 12000LM/Pair LED's). However they weren't as bright as the Auxito M4 (2010 Corolla Sedan/diamond type headlights) I believe this is due to the diamond style headlights. When I find some time I would like to try adjust the bulb sitting location for optimum performance. Anyway, I'm still happy with the purchase. These are the brightest bulbs I have tried, even though only by a small margin in still happy. Thanks again.
Bought the Auxitos Q16 for my 2011 Honda CR-V, and they work well. Due to OEM shaped beam pattern, oncoming cars are not blinded by me, and I am no longer blinded by them. Daytime driving lights work, low beams illuminate road very well, and high beams illuminate triple the distance of old bulbs. I am very happy with results.
I just installed the Q16 9012s in our Fiat 500 and they are fantastically bright and provide excellent light on the road. Important to note that LED bulbs must be installed with the LEDs facing 3:00 and 9:00; this usually requires clocking (rotating) them and not all kits allow this.
I’ve been using the Y13 in my fog housing for my 03 f150 that’s reflector. Pattern + luminosity are perfect and they’ve held up through 2-3 MN winters no problem.
As mentioned, I have been using the Y13 for almost 3 years now in one of my vehicles. Still working great. I have tested MANY lights since than that could be considered better, but despite the test results, they still perform just fine.
You should be testing at 10 meters (32.8 ft) for lux. It should get at least 15,000 candela or better. Nice review though. I'd say the M3 and the Y13 are more or less equal but for different applications; the M3 for reflectors, and the Y13 for the projectors. And since I'm planning to replace the halogens in my hb3/9005 low beam, you just solved my problem of which one to get. Thank you!
In my opinion, temperature defines the durability/longevity of those lamps. In this case i would opt for the m3 with zes chips. They run low temp, low wattage and great light output(lumens) and ZES used to be a philips chip if im not wrong.
GREAT JOB!! I’d like to see you add a part where you shoe how the bulbs look while they’re on if you’re lining at the housing. Do they give a full bulb look or do they look like Cat/Snake eyes. I know it might be challenging to do since most of the lights are very bright. Also, I know you mentioned the general OEM temp around the middle of the video, but if you could try to mention it in the beginning when you mention the OEM output, that’s be great. Either way IMPRESSIVE REVIEW!!! Thanks for taking your time to put it together!!
Ordered the M3s for my 16 ram zero issues with the projectors (high beam) extremely bright, my (sea light) fogs cover in the lower area so the entire front of my truck is a giant light , love them

I can tell you that the Diode Dynamics is not going to be as bright as many of the offerings out there, but there is also nothing that compares in terms of quality and engineering. The DD SL1 is the closest thing to OEM that you can get for an aftermarket LED headlight upgrade. I made a couple of videos about them on my other channel with slightly different testing methods: th-cam.com/video/6QPalSfnDZY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/h3AC_MOGiK4/w-d-xo.html
It’s never a wasted light if it’s remain usable. If u want pure white 6000k. Get Lasfit - LA plus. They rated as 6000k. But after what bulbfacts did a guess work. It rated as 5950K. Which is a bit better.
I bought the y13 based on your reviews and found exactly what you did. More scattered in my reflectors than I'd like. Currently running a set of fahrens that serm to have a beam closer to stock, but it seems like they fade out after a while. Great video though!
@@CarLightReviews they seem to fade out in time. My commute is right around the 25/30 minute mark and right at about 10/15 mins they seem to get noticeably dimmer. The bulbs I'm running are h11, fahren Krieges. They were noticeably brighter/better pattern than the y13 in my ram reflectors, but like I said they seem to get noticeably dimmer.
Wish I would have found this video earlier but I made some good choices. No way I was going to spend $200 on some LED replacement on some other channels.
My Auxito M5S just arrived from Aliexpress and it looks like it's an upgraded version of the Q16. I got a good deal on it @ under £25. It's rated at 120W per pair (60W per bulb). I tested it with a USB-C PD trigger and it shows 44W. I've not installed it yet as it just arrived and the weather has been terrible. I will be looking forward to your review of it just in case. Thanks for all your reviews...
@toyotabrony Yes, it's really very bright. One quick thing to note is that the PD trigger is limiting the bulb from reaching its maximum possible wattage. The reason being is because I also tested novsight N60 (which is rated at 100W per bulb) with the same PD trigger and I observed 32W per bulb. However, according to this channel, 66.2W per bulb was observed for N60. In essence, the PD trigger is not reporting the correct wattage. The only way to know the correct power rating of the bulb is to use a proper power meter. Since I don't have that, I had to settle with what I have.
Creative and detailed explanation, and I wish you would show it on the road as well, and I ask you to put a detailed video of the hand of the 9007. We, Ford Crown Victoria owners, suffer a lot from poor lighting, and we do not know which company to choose and which model (please accept my request and put a video about 9007)
I get the request to show road view shots often, but doing so wouldn't be in a controlled environment. My road conditions and ambient light and camera settings might make a headlight look very bright or very dim compared to your conditions, and anyone who makes lighting videos from the road and presenting that as "accurate" is misleading. That's why I do the same test in the same environment every time. My data tells the truth in my videos at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
Got the q16 and it’s a beast. Have you considered airflow when driving? I believe there must be at least some sort of airflow when you drive. As such, it might actually be retaining a tad more lux after 27mins. Thanks for your review! Maybe you could also do a comparison between those fanless leds (braided aluminum) vs those with fans. I want to know their thermal performance.
Yep, that Q16 is indeed a monster when it comes to output. How long have you been using yours? Yes, there is always the airflow aspect to consider, but I can't test for the difference in sitting at a stoplight and doing 150mph (which I may or may not have done a time or two) so that is why I test the halogen as a baseline and the LED upgrades in the same exact consistent environment. I used to use the fanless headlights with the braided aluminum heat sink and they seem to work OK, but I think there is a reason that they are not more common. Powered fans seems to be the way to go. I think the only way I could do a test to see the true effectiveness of of the braided heat sink is to find one that has has both versions...a powered fan or the braids....but otherwise exactly the same. I am not sure if something like that exists.
@@CarLightReviews i just got it installed a week ago haha. The fans are audible when you are outside. Not really that it bothers me, more like Im afraid it would conk out after a year or two. I hope it lasts. Im using novsight h11 (a common brand) before the q16 and its really an improvement from the already bright LEDs that im using. My H4 lamp has this braided thing. Already using it for ra year. So far so good. This H4 brand im using has an interesting design, the low beam does not turn off then you use high beam. Effectively you are using either low or low+high beam. Thereby increasing light output tremendously. Have you reviewed h4s before?
@@pbatacan I have some Novsight lights that I will be testing in the near future. When you say "H4", are you referring to the size or a brand name? I am having a hard timing finding H4 brand LED lights...only the H4 size.
@@CarLightReviews the H4 bulb type not the brand. Ohh nice! Im looking forward for your future reviews. H4 type bulbs are most common here in our country as headlight bulbs. H11 are used as fog lights.
@@pbatacan Gotcha...that's what I thought. I test in H11 size because, as you saw at the 1:34 mark, that is what is most common in my country. 😀. Of all of the Novsight models out there, which one do you think I should test first?
- Need a discussion of properly aimed headlights. IMO most vehicles on the road have improperly aimed headlight assemblies to begin with because vehicle inspections really aren’t a thing in the U.S. anymore. As vehicles wear and age, the way they sit on their suspension alters the factory/brand new headlight setting. This is so important for LED or halogen. Reflector or projector. 25 feet back, with your headlights projected onto a wall, you want the top of the light bar cutoff a minimum of 2 inches lower than the measurement, at the car, from the ground to the center of your headlight assembly. I go ~3.5 inches lower, putting the cutoff(that I can visually observe at night on the ground) out between 3-4 car lengths in front of me. I never get flashed with LED bulbs and would never go back to halogen. - You want the blade of the LED bulb positioned like you’re using a knife in the kitchen. Completely vertical. This is very important for reflector assemblies. Walk around a big parking lot and look at how many people have their LED bulb blades horizontally and diagonally positioned in their reflector style assembly. It’s a lot. That scatters the light really weird. Put your car LED light on a wall and spin one around in a reflector style assembly and you’ll see. It’ll even change the pattern slightly in a projector assembly. - Only buy a blade style LED bulb and, IMO, never get LEDs less than 5500K for street use. Whilst the K rating is technically color, not LUX(brightness), regular human beings react worse to extremely white spectrum light than to soft light with the blue hue. Even when the two lights are the exact same LUX. - If your headlight assembly plastic is yellowed polish it clear or replace. Don’t just purchase super bright LED bulbs to compensate. You’ll find that with a clear assembly you won’t need extremely bright LED bulbs for street use.
The gap at the bottom of the beam has nothing to do with the amount of light (there's no such thing as too much light that can affect the shape of the beam) but with the bulb design. It's the reflection of the gap between the emitters, the same one you would see when shining at the wall. That's why the Y13 didn't show any gap, with its design LEDs are very close together and there's no "walls" around them to stop the light therefore there are no gaps either.
@Car Light Reviews ... would the Q16's (H11's) fit a C6 fog light and projector hi beam ? i do need the fog lights to be a tad brighter than the h10's and was wondering if they would fit .... 168 deg f is still way less than the temperature of the stock fog halogen no ? Great reviews ...keep them coming!
Ip ratings are read as individual numbers. Fist and second numbers mean different things. First is dirt and debris protection and second is water protection
The problem with most of these units are the form factor where they are much deeper than than stock halogens. Especially prevalent on GMC/Chevy models with the dust caps....they don't fit and the manufacturer websites of all the LEDs don't provide the size...have two different brands in a GMC Terrain
Agreed. I made a video on my other channel outlining a few options for that situation. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/uwUIePSEUco/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mURCxr9pl5gFEV8p
Interestingly, NO where on my purchase of the M3 Auxito bulbs (on Amazon) is there the words 'M3". I bought mine over a year ago for my 2018 Maxima and bought three more sets for the HB's and the fog lights (6x). Again, no where does 'M3' show up on Amazon for the bulbs you reference but lucky for me, they are the same exact design. Oddly, I have much more light output through my '18 Maxima than what you show so I'd be careful about discriminating over 'light output' per say since every bulb chassis is going to represent differently in every car. For my Maxima, the Auxito bulbs were GENEROUSLY way more brighter, whiter in kelvin and throw was just night and day! I almost considered selling it until I installed these bulbs. Their output is discernibly brighter than what you were able to present. Cheers.
You can currently see the M3 designation if you go to geni.us/auxito and click on "LED FORWARD LIGHTS", that will show a list of their series, including M3. It seems that some lighting companies aren't the best about keeping consistent model number designations. I wouldn't be surprised if it seems that they are brighter in your car than in the test rig that I use. Some OEM light housings are simply better than others. This is why I compare both halogen and LED using the same test setup to show the difference over the baseline test. My question is...how do you know for sure they are actually brighter in your headlight than in mine?😁
@@CarLightReviews Greetings. My reference was more aligned with my Maxima’s housing puts out ‘more’ of a spread in general than what yours showed from your housing. Replacing ‘my’ halogens and in this particular light housing really puts out an incredible spread by these Auxito bulbs. I previously took my own pics of the before and after installations too and In general, I just agree with your statement on these bulbs. I just wished I found your video prior to my purchases as it would have saved me a ton of time I digress. Cheers.
@@AXNJXN1 Gotcha! Yep, unfortunately, my test environment is limited in width. Maybe one day that will change. But for now, glad you found a light that works for your car!
Love the video! I just bought the Auxito B3F yellow Fog Lights before I saw your video, is there a better yellow Auxito fog light bulb for a 2018 Nissan Rogue SL? Thanks
Thanks SO much! It is comments like this that really makes me happy, and keeps me going! Don't forget to hit that THANKS icon if you found value in this video!
@@CarLightReviews so far so good... I think i need a more proper alignment but still its super bright and lights up pretty far as they are now... Liked the all in 1 design for a more oem fit Plus they were a bit cheaper than the y13.
@@JosSerr-mw9fcwith that very low temperature that’s 121 degrees Fahrenheit, this will last for quite a long time. As long as an led bulb that’s bright with a very good low temperature, and balance well. U will be fine.
@@toyotabrony yeah i like them so much that I ended up buying for my rav4 too. Its a decent price with great performance tbh.... Very happy with the product 💯💯 definitely worth it
Just installed their brightest one (B16) last month and so far so good. Actually my favorite so far. The M3 was great until a diode died within a few months of use. The Y13 died (left one) after 4 months of use.
Hi, great video. Would still recommend Auxito Y13 in 2024? In the video, looks like Y13 does not have a very evident hotspot, is it due to close enough design to a halogen?
Are you familar with the I9? It seems to be smaller in size but the details in the spec doesn't really explain anything enough. I want the y13 it's just not sure if it will fit my 2018 BMW 230i fog light application.
My car has separate bulbs for high beam and low beams. I was really considering changing my Y13 to the Q16 but the heat concerns me. I think i will use the Y13 for low and Q16 for high.
Once again that Auxito 2 LED review was awesome and very helpful. I have a 2008 Acura MDX, a few years ago I had a pair of H11 LED 8000K Fog lights installed; which are connected to some sort of ballast. Question: I am aware that my DRL presently have 9005 Halogen bulbs, but is it possible for me to switch over that same fog light installation and reconnect it to my original Daytime Running lights connection? Please let me kono ASAP if that can be done? Thank you sir.
Congratulations for kick-starting the new channel. I am sure it will contain a plethora of valuable Info. If possible, can you try to test: x7sevenusa Apollo Series LED.
That varies from company to company. Most from my understanding are easy to work with. For Auxito, here is the information you might be looking for... auxito.com/pages/warranty auxito.com/pages/returns-refund
If they make it in your fog light size, yes. Remove your existing bulb and look at the size designation stamped on it or check your owner manual to see what size you need.
Hi there, did you ever use an external 12 volt power supply and measure the current used by each of them and see what is the actual wattage they use ??
Yes. That is what I do in every video. Watch this video and you will see that I explain my test methods and see this data sheet that shows the results, including the actual wattage: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
Hi, thank you for the informative video! I am still spending countless nights trying to research led lights for my 2022 hyundai i30 elite cn7 (Australia). I lack knowledge on cars and not too sure what you mean by projector and reflector headlights. Any recommendation for led bulbs which support both low and high beam for my hyundai elantra/i30? Doesn’t necessarily have to be auxito led bulbs. Could be any brand but just anything that would fit my car and last long. No specific budget. Whatever works the best!
Got set h7 m3 type just fitted today bmw waiting for the darkness. Has adjustable clip which is good. Does flicker very slightly tho me being picky. No error codes. Hope they last long than my upgrade halogen bulb
@@CarLightReviews iv just fitted same bulbs for the high beam now got error code bit odd. Need to get a decoder or resistor (which might help the slight flicker) let ya know. They are great lights drove tonight with new high beams loads better.
What is the "physical" difference between LED bulbs: "9012 LED Bulb HIR2 LED Light Bulbs Mini Size 80W 16,000LM and Y13 "9012 LED Bulb HIR2 LED Light Bulbs Mini Size 80W 16,000LM"? I know Y13 are for projectors. Are they interchangeable?
Yes, it is...but you never know when something is going to come along and become the new champ. Some other lights are coming that might do a better job. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE and of course, review the data at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
it is hard to say, as I have evolved my testing methods over time to be more accurate. Is there a particular light you are looking into? I can give you my advice based on my experience.
What a shame, there are only two companies, who have got Permissions for the LED Retrofit H7 & H4! Where is General Electric? The Osram Company - produce in Germany, but belongs to the Chinese. And the other is Philips from Netherland with long tradition. The first Xenon Light in 1987 is a Philips Discovery
You have to define "better". What is most important in an LED lighting upgrade for YOUR needs? Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. That should help!
Personally? The Firehawk is a pretty good light, but I myself still prefer the Y13. The Y13 isn't as bright, but it does have a better output pattern (according to my test setup) and it is less expensive. Plus, I still prefer an external driver design. Have a look at the numbers to compare at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs

Great review. Contributing to my wife's car bulb choice.
I bet the Q16 would be great in a headlight that has a separate highbeam projector, as you don't usually run those for all that long, and you don't usually have weak spots in highbeam projectors.
Good call!
I just wanted to come on here after a year later and say you were right on this ! I got the q16s but ended up with y19s beam pattern is perfect on my 14 accord sport no weak spots good catch!
I’ve had the Y13s in my 2016 Elantra GT for 2 years, H11 & H7 ( Highbeam / DRL )
Awesome bulbs that I can put on both my dust covers.
AWESOME CHANNEL. Started by searching a couple items and ended up culling your spreadsheet for a long time. This demystifies the entire field. Really appreciate the info!

Man, this is amazing, so much work and detail. Love the spreadsheet to compare too. Will definitely buy some stuff using your links!
Much appreciated!
May 2022 I bought the Q16’s, just seeing your channel today after clicking through some videos to solve hyper flashing on LED Turn Signals and thought I’d see if my research served me well.
Your Q16’s looked different than mine, so I went to check n see what I ordered, guessing the H4 vs H11 is probably the main difference but seems a 2022 updated version (H4/9003) with a different fan style and driver exists now. Curious if the change may have impacted its performance.
Auxito seems to be a great company so far. In my Sequoia, as most Toyotas of similar age seem to have issues upgrading to LED’s where there is hyper flashing or no working fog lights issues, at no additional cost they sent out the harness for each light to correct the problem.
I’ll be Subscribing after watching this single video, watching for similar content in the future.
Well done, and thank you.
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Great review. An observation on the Q16: it IS adjustable. There’s a small Phillips screw that’s visible and the collar/ring does move. Curious if the cutoff and spread would be better on your test if it was properly clocked.
Question on the Y13: was the bulb clocked to 9/3 o’clock? I did on my projector equipped headlight on these Y13 bulbs and the difference was pretty dramatic on the hotspot size. The properly clocked setup being better.
Ur right. I can see that little black screw on the Q16. For low beams, that is adjustable.
But definitely they don’t have adjustable collar for high beams
But ur talking about the H11 size or the 9005 that has adjustable color screw?
@@toyotabrony i think you’re right.
@@crs1474 if u have 9005 auxito - Q16, would u be able to get the chance to inspect ur high beam led bulbs, and see if u manage to get them adjust just by testing it?
When I looked at the image, the collar looks like it’s blowing half of the center of the Philips screw.
That weak spot/shadow is due to light blocked by the central stalk making it Non-360 degree light source. Brighter ones make the shadow look worst because it looks more contrast compared to the brightest spot
The Y13 is a great light. It has a great beam projection, with virtually no dark spots in the front of the car. It's small and light in weight, and slips into the headlight socket effortlessly. I've had a pair in my car for nearly 4 years and they're still going strong. I just wish Auxito would update the light by keeping the design, but upping the lumens. Even if you are not running the Y13s, I would recommend them as a spare set to keep in the car just in case something happens to your installed lights.
Hello, and thank you for the great in-depth review! I just replaced all four of my headlight bulbs with halogens after one of the low-beam bulbs burned out. Since I needed to take care of it right away, I didn't have time to review LED bulbs, but did that aftter the replacement. I ended up ordering Auxito replacement bulbs for all the interior and exterior, and expect the order to arrive today. I noticed that of all five of the lights you reviewed, only one was fanless. I'm still learning a lot about the different options, and wanted to get your feedback on pros and cons of having a fanless unit. Unfortunately, I didn't come across your review until today. If I had seen it sooner, I would have asked this question before placing my order. Hopefully, fanless LEDs are just as good and reliable as fanned units.
Thanks, and I look foward to your reply!
I had the Q16 installed for a few days. Honestly, they were TOO bright. Felt like I had high beams on all the time. Not to mention the fan noise was quite loud. Just switched to the M3 and it’s perfect!
UPDATE: I have since switched to the Y13’s and they truly are the best bang for your buck!!
Glad you found the right light for your application. Question...did you aim the headlights after you installed the Q16?
@@CarLightReviews Yes I did (also thanks to youtube) they were just TOO bright for me. But loving the M3's.
@@CarLightReviews came back here to say I switched to the Y13. The m3 were good, but I kept thinking about how the y13’s seemed to be better. Especially with your tests. I have since switched to those, and have returned the other ones. I may be indecisive, but I love these ones! Haha
i can't believe you can hear the fan noise of headlight bulbs over the din of the engine. you must have super hearing or something 🙂
The dark spot at the bottom of the beam pattern is because the output isn't actually 360* as claimed. There is a dead spot from the board/heat sink. If you rotate the bulb 90* the pattern will change. On my headlights the plug sits about 5 o'clock so the pattern gets really distorted with the fixed tabs.
wow so professional; huge admiration; keep up with the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
These are literally the best led headlights, got some for my 2010 Armada
I bought the Q16 after seeing your test results. To me it seemed to have a good mix of attributes.. high output, low noise, all in one form factor, decent energy usage, and the thing that pushed it over the line for me was they were on sale for 24usd shipped.
The biggest problem with the Q16 was that it hit 76 degrees C. which is not that hot, but hot enough to drop the output by 30%. so I made a plan to order some upgrade parts at the same time I bought the LEDs.
When it all arrived, I opened up the LED housing using a triangle bit, used some IPA to clean off all the stock thermal paste.. which I have to say was hilariously sparse and inconsistently applied. Added my own ceramic thermal paste which I chose for it's longevity, resistance to pump out and drying, ease of application, and cheap price. However, it's performance at heat transfer is good but nothing special.. probably as good or slightly better than the stock thermal paste if it was applied properly lol. I then added a 28mm x 28mm x 15mm heatsink to the back of the LED housing with some thermal glue.. by luck I had ordered the exact right length/width to fit it perfectly. My car doesn't use a dust cap but it's still fairly cramped in there.. it fit well but could have maybe went 28x28x25 at most.
Anyway it all worked out great. light output is very good, the heat transfers into the heatsink excellently. overall hope my mods allow it to stay cooler and in turn stay brighter and last longer.
Pretty cool hack!
Wow what a great review with tons of specs which is much appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
I actually got Auxito M4 for a customer's car and I noticed how bright it was. So I did a search and found your video, so now I bought the Y13 for my personal vehicle thanks to you. Can't wait to try it.
Glad you found this video helpful! Let me know what you think of the Y13 when you get it.
Hey dude, I'm back to give you my thoughts.
I installed the Y13 and ALMOST instantly I noticed they were the brightest LED's I have tried (2013 corolla hatch / projector type headlights). I did some driving around for testing and confirmed these are slightly brighter than the 55w HID setup I used to have a few years back and the last pear I had (NOVSIGHT 50W 12000LM/Pair LED's). However they weren't as bright as the Auxito M4 (2010 Corolla Sedan/diamond type headlights) I believe this is due to the diamond style headlights. When I find some time I would like to try adjust the bulb sitting location for optimum performance. Anyway, I'm still happy with the purchase. These are the brightest bulbs I have tried, even though only by a small margin in still happy. Thanks again.
Just ordered a set for my 2017 Malibu. I'll be replacing halogen factory units but auxito swears that they're plug and play... Thoughts?
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 they were plug and play for the 2 vehicles I tested on. Enjoy👍
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 Usually yes they are plug and play.
Thank you so much, this video is so thorough and really helped me in researching new bulbs. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve had the Y13 on my 2016 Dodge Charger and it’s been amazing!
Glad to hear. How long have you have them installed?
Bought the Auxitos Q16 for my 2011 Honda CR-V, and they work well.
Due to OEM shaped beam pattern, oncoming cars are not blinded by me, and I am no longer blinded by them.
Daytime driving lights work, low beams illuminate road very well, and high beams illuminate triple the distance of old bulbs.
I am very happy with results.
Glad to hear it!
I just installed the Q16 9012s in our Fiat 500 and they are fantastically bright and provide excellent light on the road. Important to note that LED bulbs must be installed with the LEDs facing 3:00 and 9:00; this usually requires clocking (rotating) them and not all kits allow this.
Are the 9012 q16s able to be “rotated”
@@bobsuruncle8520nope, i have them... Sadly can't be rotated on a Toyota hence trying to find one that can be rotated.. Is y13 rotatable?
Thank you for this very informative reviews. More power to you and your channel.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for such an in-depth review. Those like me need the technical information.... Cheers 🍻
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
I’ve been using the Y13 in my fog housing for my 03 f150 that’s reflector. Pattern + luminosity are perfect and they’ve held up through 2-3 MN winters no problem.
As mentioned, I have been using the Y13 for almost 3 years now in one of my vehicles. Still working great. I have tested MANY lights since than that could be considered better, but despite the test results, they still perform just fine.
You should be testing at 10 meters (32.8 ft) for lux. It should get at least 15,000 candela or better. Nice review though. I'd say the M3 and the Y13 are more or less equal but for different applications; the M3 for reflectors, and the Y13 for the projectors. And since I'm planning to replace the halogens in my hb3/9005 low beam, you just solved my problem of which one to get. Thank you!
In my opinion, temperature defines the durability/longevity of those lamps. In this case i would opt for the m3 with zes chips. They run low temp, low wattage and great light output(lumens) and ZES used to be a philips chip if im not wrong.
GREAT JOB!! I’d like to see you add a part where you shoe how the bulbs look while they’re on if you’re lining at the housing. Do they give a full bulb look or do they look like Cat/Snake eyes. I know it might be challenging to do since most of the lights are very bright. Also, I know you mentioned the general OEM temp around the middle of the video, but if you could try to mention it in the beginning when you mention the OEM output, that’s be great. Either way IMPRESSIVE REVIEW!!! Thanks for taking your time to put it together!!
Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated!
Ordered the M3s for my 16 ram zero issues with the projectors (high beam) extremely bright, my (sea light) fogs cover in the lower area so the entire front of my truck is a giant light , love them

Duke of New York, A number one!
@@PUNISHERGTO I like the Escape from New York reference, but I am unsure how it is related to my video. :)
Really impressed with the details. I’d love to see a comparison of Auxito vs Diode Dynamics.
I can tell you that the Diode Dynamics is not going to be as bright as many of the offerings out there, but there is also nothing that compares in terms of quality and engineering. The DD SL1 is the closest thing to OEM that you can get for an aftermarket LED headlight upgrade. I made a couple of videos about them on my other channel with slightly different testing methods:
th-cam.com/video/6QPalSfnDZY/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/h3AC_MOGiK4/w-d-xo.html
Saddens me that the y13 is 6500K. I want 6000K because 6500K is bluish already, wasted light.
It’s never a wasted light if it’s remain usable.
If u want pure white 6000k.
Get Lasfit - LA plus.
They rated as 6000k.
But after what bulbfacts did a guess work. It rated as 5950K. Which is a bit better.
You’re wasted light
I prefer 5000K
I bought the y13 based on your reviews and found exactly what you did. More scattered in my reflectors than I'd like. Currently running a set of fahrens that serm to have a beam closer to stock, but it seems like they fade out after a while. Great video though!
Do they fade out over time, like in my 27 minute test or they just aren't as bright as they used to be, all the way around?
@@CarLightReviews they seem to fade out in time. My commute is right around the 25/30 minute mark and right at about 10/15 mins they seem to get noticeably dimmer. The bulbs I'm running are h11, fahren Krieges. They were noticeably brighter/better pattern than the y13 in my ram reflectors, but like I said they seem to get noticeably dimmer.
@@hunterdan2002 the problem is the RAM! LOL! 😅
@@MasterSumai yeah, sure... The halogens in the ram produce a better beam pattern than the h4 in any Toyota I've ever seen.
Wish I would have found this video earlier but I made some good choices. No way I was going to spend $200 on some LED replacement on some other channels.
Curious...which ones were you looking at?
My Auxito M5S just arrived from Aliexpress and it looks like it's an upgraded version of the Q16. I got a good deal on it @ under £25. It's rated at 120W per pair (60W per bulb). I tested it with a USB-C PD trigger and it shows 44W. I've not installed it yet as it just arrived and the weather has been terrible. I will be looking forward to your review of it just in case. Thanks for all your reviews...
So with 44 watts per bulb. That means it produces 4400 lumens per bulb.
That’s actually very bright for all in one unit.
@toyotabrony Yes, it's really very bright. One quick thing to note is that the PD trigger is limiting the bulb from reaching its maximum possible wattage. The reason being is because I also tested novsight N60 (which is rated at 100W per bulb) with the same PD trigger and I observed 32W per bulb. However, according to this channel, 66.2W per bulb was observed for N60. In essence, the PD trigger is not reporting the correct wattage. The only way to know the correct power rating of the bulb is to use a proper power meter. Since I don't have that, I had to settle with what I have.
@@cutesammiesome of these gadget cannot read very accurately.
So this is the best thing to know when it comes to car light reviews.
Creative and detailed explanation, and I wish you would show it on the road as well, and I ask you to put a detailed video of the hand of the 9007. We, Ford Crown Victoria owners, suffer a lot from poor lighting, and we do not know which company to choose and which model (please accept my request and put a video about 9007)
I get the request to show road view shots often, but doing so wouldn't be in a controlled environment. My road conditions and ambient light and camera settings might make a headlight look very bright or very dim compared to your conditions, and anyone who makes lighting videos from the road and presenting that as "accurate" is misleading. That's why I do the same test in the same environment every time. My data tells the truth in my videos at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
Thank you for your help my friend very much appreciated 😊👌🇬🇧
No problem 👍
Q16 are the best ! But you should modified your cover for put them in.. After it's the 10s
Got the q16 and it’s a beast. Have you considered airflow when driving? I believe there must be at least some sort of airflow when you drive. As such, it might actually be retaining a tad more lux after 27mins. Thanks for your review!
Maybe you could also do a comparison between those fanless leds (braided aluminum) vs those with fans. I want to know their thermal performance.
Yep, that Q16 is indeed a monster when it comes to output. How long have you been using yours?
Yes, there is always the airflow aspect to consider, but I can't test for the difference in sitting at a stoplight and doing 150mph (which I may or may not have done a time or two) so that is why I test the halogen as a baseline and the LED upgrades in the same exact consistent environment.
I used to use the fanless headlights with the braided aluminum heat sink and they seem to work OK, but I think there is a reason that they are not more common. Powered fans seems to be the way to go. I think the only way I could do a test to see the true effectiveness of of the braided heat sink is to find one that has has both versions...a powered fan or the braids....but otherwise exactly the same. I am not sure if something like that exists.
@@CarLightReviews i just got it installed a week ago haha. The fans are audible when you are outside. Not really that it bothers me, more like Im afraid it would conk out after a year or two. I hope it lasts. Im using novsight h11 (a common brand) before the q16 and its really an improvement from the already bright LEDs that im using.
My H4 lamp has this braided thing. Already using it for ra year. So far so good.
This H4 brand im using has an interesting design, the low beam does not turn off then you use high beam. Effectively you are using either low or low+high beam. Thereby increasing light output tremendously. Have you reviewed h4s before?
@@pbatacan I have some Novsight lights that I will be testing in the near future. When you say "H4", are you referring to the size or a brand name? I am having a hard timing finding H4 brand LED lights...only the H4 size.
@@CarLightReviews the H4 bulb type not the brand. Ohh nice! Im looking forward for your future reviews. H4 type bulbs are most common here in our country as headlight bulbs. H11 are used as fog lights.
@@pbatacan Gotcha...that's what I thought. I test in H11 size because, as you saw at the 1:34 mark, that is what is most common in my country. 😀. Of all of the Novsight models out there, which one do you think I should test first?
- Need a discussion of properly aimed headlights. IMO most vehicles on the road have improperly aimed headlight assemblies to begin with because vehicle inspections really aren’t a thing in the U.S. anymore. As vehicles wear and age, the way they sit on their suspension alters the factory/brand new headlight setting. This is so important for LED or halogen. Reflector or projector. 25 feet back, with your headlights projected onto a wall, you want the top of the light bar cutoff a minimum of 2 inches lower than the measurement, at the car, from the ground to the center of your headlight assembly. I go ~3.5 inches lower, putting the cutoff(that I can visually observe at night on the ground) out between 3-4 car lengths in front of me. I never get flashed with LED bulbs and would never go back to halogen.
- You want the blade of the LED bulb positioned like you’re using a knife in the kitchen. Completely vertical. This is very important for reflector assemblies. Walk around a big parking lot and look at how many people have their LED bulb blades horizontally and diagonally positioned in their reflector style assembly. It’s a lot. That scatters the light really weird. Put your car LED light on a wall and spin one around in a reflector style assembly and you’ll see. It’ll even change the pattern slightly in a projector assembly.
- Only buy a blade style LED bulb and, IMO, never get LEDs less than 5500K for street use. Whilst the K rating is technically color, not LUX(brightness), regular human beings react worse to extremely white spectrum light than to soft light with the blue hue. Even when the two lights are the exact same LUX.
- If your headlight assembly plastic is yellowed polish it clear or replace. Don’t just purchase super bright LED bulbs to compensate. You’ll find that with a clear assembly you won’t need extremely bright LED bulbs for street use.

Got the Y13 because of the spreadsheet
Glad it helped!
I wish I can give million likes for your effort , thank you
Thanks so much! Glad you like my videos!
The gap at the bottom of the beam has nothing to do with the amount of light (there's no such thing as too much light that can affect the shape of the beam) but with the bulb design. It's the reflection of the gap between the emitters, the same one you would see when shining at the wall. That's why the Y13 didn't show any gap, with its design LEDs are very close together and there's no "walls" around them to stop the light therefore there are no gaps either.
@Car Light Reviews ... would the Q16's (H11's) fit a C6 fog light and projector hi beam ? i do need the fog lights to be a tad brighter than the h10's and was wondering if they would fit .... 168 deg f is still way less than the temperature of the stock fog halogen no ? Great reviews ...keep them coming!
Ip ratings are read as individual numbers. Fist and second numbers mean different things. First is dirt and debris protection and second is water protection
The problem with most of these units are the form factor where they are much deeper than than stock halogens. Especially prevalent on GMC/Chevy models with the dust caps....they don't fit and the manufacturer websites of all the LEDs don't provide the size...have two different brands in a GMC Terrain
Agreed. I made a video on my other channel outlining a few options for that situation. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/uwUIePSEUco/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mURCxr9pl5gFEV8p
Interestingly, NO where on my purchase of the M3 Auxito bulbs (on Amazon) is there the words 'M3". I bought mine over a year ago for my 2018 Maxima and bought three more sets for the HB's and the fog lights (6x). Again, no where does 'M3' show up on Amazon for the bulbs you reference but lucky for me, they are the same exact design. Oddly, I have much more light output through my '18 Maxima than what you show so I'd be careful about discriminating over 'light output' per say since every bulb chassis is going to represent differently in every car. For my Maxima, the Auxito bulbs were GENEROUSLY way more brighter, whiter in kelvin and throw was just night and day! I almost considered selling it until I installed these bulbs. Their output is discernibly brighter than what you were able to present. Cheers.
You can currently see the M3 designation if you go to geni.us/auxito and click on "LED FORWARD LIGHTS", that will show a list of their series, including M3. It seems that some lighting companies aren't the best about keeping consistent model number designations.
I wouldn't be surprised if it seems that they are brighter in your car than in the test rig that I use. Some OEM light housings are simply better than others. This is why I compare both halogen and LED using the same test setup to show the difference over the baseline test.
My question is...how do you know for sure they are actually brighter in your headlight than in mine?😁
@@CarLightReviews Greetings. My reference was more aligned with my Maxima’s housing puts out ‘more’ of a spread in general than what yours showed from your housing. Replacing ‘my’ halogens and in this particular light housing really puts out an incredible spread by these Auxito bulbs. I previously took my own pics of the before and after installations too and In general, I just agree with your statement on these bulbs. I just wished I found your video prior to my purchases as it would have saved me a ton of time I digress. Cheers.
@@AXNJXN1 Gotcha! Yep, unfortunately, my test environment is limited in width. Maybe one day that will change. But for now, glad you found a light that works for your car!

Is it a good idea to install an LED bulb inside a projector headlight meant for Halogen bulbs?
Just bought the m3 from ebay for my tundra 2007.. well see how they work out
How do you like them?
@@CarLightReviews so far so good... I think i need a more proper alignment but still its super bright and lights up pretty far as they are now...

The Y13 died (left one) after 4 months of use.
Auxito has a 2-year warranty. Did you reach out to them to see if they can replace the ones that failed?
@@CarLightReviews I should have mentioned they did lol but I just wanted something brighter anyways. Tbh I saw the auxbeam GX and now I want that
@@MrTherandomvidsguy Cool. The Q16 is a good light, but that newly released Auxbeam GX that I reviewed is pretty impressive!
Hi, great video. Would still recommend Auxito Y13 in 2024? In the video, looks like Y13 does not have a very evident hotspot, is it due to close enough design to a halogen?
Y13 has less dark spots due to thin board design. Other models have thicker hence got dark spot on them middle bottom
Are you familar with the I9? It seems to be smaller in size but the details in the spec doesn't really explain anything enough.
I want the y13 it's just not sure if it will fit my 2018 BMW 230i fog light application.
If it’s an H11, u need an H11. Check ur vehicles space to see if it has enough room.
So frustrating that Auxito doesn’t list model numbers on Amazon or their website.
My car has separate bulbs for high beam and low beams. I was really considering changing my Y13 to the Q16 but the heat concerns me. I think i will use the Y13 for low and Q16 for high.
I think that is a pretty smart approach! Good thinking!
Once again that Auxito 2 LED review was awesome and very helpful.
I have a 2008 Acura MDX, a few years ago I had a pair of H11 LED 8000K Fog lights installed; which are connected to some sort of ballast.

Can I use the AUXITO M3 as a fog lights? I’m asking because I’m trying to find good fog lights for my SCION TC 2014.
If they make it in your fog light size, yes. Remove your existing bulb and look at the size designation stamped on it or check your owner manual to see what size you need.
Ur 2014 Scion tC will have a great results, by using M3 as a fog light application.
Can you also do a all novsight review?

Hi, thank you for the informative video! I am still spending countless nights trying to research led lights for my 2022 hyundai i30 elite cn7 (Australia). I lack knowledge on cars and not too sure what you mean by projector and reflector headlights. Any recommendation for led bulbs which support both low and high beam for my hyundai elantra/i30? Doesn’t necessarily have to be auxito led bulbs. Could be any brand but just anything that would fit my car and last long. No specific budget. Whatever works the best!
Do you mean that you have a combination low beam and high beam light in your factory housing?
Y13 will not fit into my headlight. will not be able to close "bulb install hole" cover. Will try M3s. Almost same size as OE halogen
Did u get the right bulb size?
And if u have a smaller room, than a compact all in one unit is ur best bet.
Got set h7 m3 type just fitted today bmw waiting for the darkness. Has adjustable clip which is good. Does flicker very slightly tho me being picky. No error codes. Hope they last long than my upgrade halogen bulb
I am wondering about the flicker. Is it obvious or do you have to really pay attention to notice it?
@@CarLightReviews you really have to pay attention. Not obvious
Good to hear. Truth be told, I have noticed the same one my Jeep Grand Cherokee for years...so might be similar.
@@CarLightReviews iv just fitted same bulbs for the high beam now got error code bit odd. Need to get a decoder or resistor (which might help the slight flicker) let ya know. They are great lights drove tonight with new high beams loads better.
which is better 22k lumens y19 or 22k lumens m5s in terms of durability and brightness
ps the 24k lumens y19 isnt available in my country 😢
How does the new m3s compare to the m3
What is the "physical" difference between LED bulbs:
"9012 LED Bulb HIR2 LED Light Bulbs Mini Size 80W 16,000LM
and
Y13 "9012 LED Bulb HIR2 LED Light Bulbs Mini Size 80W 16,000LM"?
I know Y13 are for projectors.
Are they interchangeable?
You'd probably need to ask the manufacturer.
Is the y13 a fog light or headlight?

Is the Auxito Y13 still your go-to-recommendation under $50-60?
Yes, it is...but you never know when something is going to come along and become the new champ. Some other lights are coming that might do a better job. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE and of course, review the data at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
What's the brightest LED bulb you have test to today.
it is hard to say, as I have evolved my testing methods over time to be more accurate. Is there a particular light you are looking into? I can give you my advice based on my experience.
What a shame, there are only two companies, who have got Permissions for the LED Retrofit H7 & H4! Where is General Electric? The Osram Company - produce in Germany, but belongs to the Chinese. And the other is Philips from Netherland with long tradition. The first Xenon Light in 1987 is a Philips Discovery
It might not be available in your area, but I have seen LED lights in those sizes on Amazon.
Are any of these daul color? Recommend any dual color or multi color BRIGHT LED fog lights?
No, these are single color lights.
I would recommend Lasfit - LD plus switchback.
They have dual colors of 6000k and 3000k. $100 per pair.
Hi which do you think is better? Novsight or auxito? I'm thinking of buying novsight n60 but i came across this brand.
You have to define "better". What is most important in an LED lighting upgrade for YOUR needs? Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. That should help!
Is it sill called M3? If the H11 the same thing. I cant find M3 anywhere.
Would you pick the Firehawk you reviewed over the y13 in a projector headlight?
Personally? The Firehawk is a pretty good light, but I myself still prefer the Y13. The Y13 isn't as bright, but it does have a better output pattern (according to my test setup) and it is less expensive. Plus, I still prefer an external driver design. Have a look at the numbers to compare at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
Would you be willing to test out all of Sealight LED headlights next?
I do have one Sealight on the schedule, and will be doing more of them as time goes on. Thanks for the suggestion!
