- In this video, I show how to replace the stock halogen headlight bulbs in a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, with LED replacements. I purchased these H-13 bulbs for $89.99 from headlightexperts.com. They claim to have a lifetime warranty with free replacements forever, but we'll see how long they last! The bulbs are very simple to install and it only takes a few minutes since these are plug and play. The color is 6000K and they put out 4000 lumens each, according to the Headlight Experts. Each bulb has built in cooling fans that start immediately when the lights are on to help keep the unit cool. Overall, I am satisfied with the bulbs and hope to get many years out of them!
Here's a LED bulb option on Amazon:

Hey did you have to buy the warning cancelling capacitors that the website offers for the lights ?
No I didn't. I never got any warnings either.
Just bought the beamtech H13 for my 2014 Cruze..no fan tho.. will that matter?
Time will tell. The fan helps to keep the unit cool and without it, I don't know how long it will last? If Beamtech is designed without a fan, then it might be perfectly fine.
Just put a set in my 2011 cruze, my Highs light up the ditch but leave directly in front of me dark. Hard to tell in the video but how's your highs?
We've since got rid of the car, but the high beams were pretty good, better than the halogen bulbs. So, you're saying that the road is darker than the surroundings with the high beams on?
Your bulb position should be in a 3 and 9 o lock position. Not a 6 and 12 o'clock position. Check that. I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered this afternoon.
@@jimfritz8983did you figure that out?
That windshield filler tube literally pops right out for maximum space
Happy with LED, But when Safety inspection comes they fail it because OEM says Halogen so that sucks, always fails safety inspection, They keep saying it is not street legal. :( I don’t get it at all..
That's too bad. I would just switch bulbs out for the safety inspection and then put the LEDs back in afterwards.
@@Corysdiyauto yup. That is just what i am about to do.
How do you aim them
I never had to adjust them. I installed the new bulbs and I was good to go.
If you have to adjust your headlights, you can do it yourself. There is an adjustment screw on the light housing that you have to turn to adjust your light beam. You need to be parked on a level surface, 25 feet away from a wall. The light beam should be 2½" below the given height of the headlight. Hopefully this helps.
How are they working for you so far?
So far, so good. No issues at all.
Will this throw off any codes
No it will not.
What brand? Looking to upgrade on my 2014
I used headlightexperts.com
They have a lifetime warranty, so we'll see how long they last and how good their customer service is when a light fails.
Those screaming tiny fans will not last 😁
Well, there's a lifetime warranty on them, so we'll see what happens. Haha.
Hi did they impact your DRL ?
The DRL's operate as normal without any issues.
Yeah I replaced the bulbs todays but i lost the drl functionality the old halogen are lit and being used as drl but the les i got are off not unless i turn on the headlamp manually
@@revo2seven - That's odd? Mine function just like the halogens did. As soon as I start the car they come on.
@@Corysdiyauto yes they should i tried several led until you turn on the light the drl function doesn’t work they are off unfortunately
@@revo2seven what brand LED's did you choose?
how is the brightness / visibility compared to halogen ?
The beam seems to shine down the road further than the halogen bulbs. The high beam is very bright! There are so many LED bulb options to choose from, but I chose these ones because of the lifetime warranty.
Hi does it impact your daytime drl?
The DRL's operate as normal.
Can you post just running drl please
Do you want to see what it looks like in the daylight? Is that what you are asking?
Are you still happy with them?
I no longer have the Cruze, but they were good headlights.
Did you get rid of the Cruze because of the headlights?
@@biabia4462 - Haha, no. It was a good car until my ex put gasoline in it instead of diesel! It was destroyed after that.
@@Corysdiyautowhaaaat you mean diesel
Instead of gas?
@@urimorales3364 - The Cruze was a diesel model and diesel engines don't like gasoline!
