I hate the LED cars because no matter how „great“ they’ve been adjusted, they keep shimmering around the sides and if they go into curves they are still blinding, mainly this has happened to me on oncoming Tesla and Mercedes drivers especially. The lights have a tiny window where they ain’t blinding but shining onto the street, any other angle and it’ll blind you
Not only that, many vehicles with halogen bulbs run the DRL on high beams at like 40%, but these junk LED drop-ins probably don't have PWM, so they end up blinding other drivers, have a noticeable flicker, and when you need proper bright high beams, they're probably dimmer than the original halogens! But everyone thinks they're the greatest thing.
HIDs are designed to shoot focused light further out so you can actually see far ahead. LEDs will spread out that light instead of focusing outward and give the illusion that it's brighter
But if bulb Has "core of light" in wrong position or With wrong size or angle? What can geometry of reflector do? Pig in curved mirror won't change to snake. @@Nayr747
HIDs are still superior for driving condtions imo. LEDs have greater lumens but their projection travel is significantly less than their HID counterparts.
one of the reasons i don’t like LEDs as much is because of the kelvin. i’ve never seen an LED with less than 6000k. funny thing is, people confuse the kelvin with lumens.
@@elaztecapecador Vleds led bulbs are a bit pricey but they make a 5000k option that looks great. I’ve been on the line about converting my HID headlights into LED’s
Only recommended for projector headlamps, and AIMED PROPERLY. Many are aimed too high, even from the factory. The beam cut off on the left should be level under hard acceleration, and sloping down when stopped or at consistent speed. People really need to stop putting these in reflector headlamps designed for halogens. LED vs HID... now LED is equal or better in a lot of areas, however HID still has its place, for now. I don't care for all the high color temps though that are common, 6500K, 7000K... way to blue for my taste. My eyes prefer right around 4700K to 5000K.
CRI is important when it comes to variable driving conditions, that’s why HID’s are still the best even if they don’t seem brighter, they will illuminate better in fog, rain, and snow.
I was considering putting LEDs in place of my D1S Nightbreakers using a set of DDM Tuning Sabre 55w V2 bulbs like I have in my foglights, but they are 1200+ LUX vs the 500+ LUX of the Nightbreakers and that seems too bright for my needs so I just left them in the foglights, only....
They only look brighter, I assure you if you actually got a Lux meter you'd see the HID bulbs actually produce more visible light. This is almost an optical illusion. The blue part of your light is the most reflective of all colors (reason why the sky is blue) so the blue color is reflecting back to you making you think the image is brighter, but it's just "bluer" not brighter.
@Dexion845, if it looks brighter, then the technicalities of it being brighter or not does not matter, as the only thing that matters is if it looks brighter to your eyes or not. In general, LEDs are always much, much brighter than HIDs. But you have to choose the correct LEDs in order to actually have great output and precise projection. For reflectors that are halogen based, it's not a good idea to replace the bulbs with LEDs or even HIDs, as it's much, much more difficult for the light to be directed correctly and not give any lightbleed over the cut off. So, for halogen reflectors, either keeping the halogen bulbs or getting a custom led projector retrofitted to the reflectors is the much safer and better option.
The reflector in my projectors are burnt out so with my hid d1s bulbs i can barely see. Trying to figure out if going led is better than spending $1200 for a set of new headlights.....reflectors not replaceable in the assembly / no available parts online as far as i know
Grab a heatgun and open that boy up, rechrome reflectors and you good to go for another tenner, unless there is salvage jard replacement for decent price.
HID is more suitable for projectors LEDs are not so great with projectors because the bulb it self does havd dark shadow insode When using projectors you don't want any dark spots in the bulb you need a 360 lightning bulb in order to avoid those dark spots
Is it true that there is no plug and play option for swapping from HID to LED? I seen a couple videos saying you have to replace all kinds of stuff just to swap them.
Correct. Depends on the power delivery. Some HID bulbs have one connector that can switch from low to hi on the same cable and others have two connectors, one for low and one for high. Aside from that you also have power delivery on the housing to switch the cut off plate as well.
1 of my original hid bulbs started going bad and had them replaced with oem style hids. Now I'm regretting my decision. I think I should have went with some osram bulbs or even looked into leds. The replacement bulbs looked brighter the first few drives, and now they don't seem as powerful. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could upgrade to? I have a 2011 Toyota Avalon limited.
For a 13 years old car, I suspect the light cover is degraded. Most of them are PC based, which is sensitive to UV, although the light covers has a UV protection coat at the outer side to decrease the degradation speed. You might want to replace the complete light assembly, don't try to sand the cover as it won't last long.
I just replaced 2013 lexus ES low beams with Osram night breaker HIDs. I also owned Kia K5 which had a total of 10 LED Projectors. I would say these OSRAM HIDs even with 10 year old, projectors, are better. Make sure the outer glass is as clear as possible.
On the amazon you can LED with HID sockets. Search for D3S LED bulb or similar (Replace D3S with your HID socket). Its 1:1 without any changes to your car.
Temperature is just the colour. If you take a look at a colour spectrum in temperature, you'll see that around the 2000K is yellow, about 4000K is white with yellow "feel", around 5000K is where most standard HIDs live with the "pure white" colour, 6000K has a slight blue tint, 8000K has a significant blue colour, 10000K is really blue with a subtle hint of purple, and 12000K is purple. Different colours are easier or harder to see to the human eye, for example blue is not an easy colour for our eyes to see, so the same lumens between white and blue, you'll see white much better.
Too much foreground on the LED’s. It reflects back to the driver and that ambient foreground makes your eyes work harder to detect objects at 90 feet ! It’s just as important as having proper alignment of the hotspot/proper aim and focused beam of the projector (with shield for low beams) 🤷♂️
Bought the Oscram Nightbreakers($200) for my Audi Q5, returned it and purchsed a 6000k LED bulbs for $80 and i love them so much more than the Oscrams. The oscram was slightly better than the OEM HiD bulbs, where as the LED was significantly brighter and i could see so much more. I love the LEDs. I still dont understand why people swear HIDs are better. All of bright lights on the roads are LEDs, not HIDs lmao.

@@23ButanedioneBullshit excuse. "m3D1uM l1GhT 15 b35T" my ass! You don't even recognize that by having a MUCH brighter peak luminance, you can easily just turn it down to lower levels that you consider to be "best." You can achieve all of that while consuming FAR less power than a similar brightness HID light. All of these "Kelvin" crap are all just made-up bullshit nitpicks to try and justify the inferiority of HIDs in every possible way. You must heavily rely on that "color temperature" shit because that's ARGUABLY the only thing left that's better than LEDs.
This is not true. Generally hid are still brighter than led. And have a greater output area. But they need to be properly adjusted. U should instead talk abt the fact that hid are less efficient and don’t last as long even tho they do have superior light output.
HID is brighter than LED, that is why. They project further than LEDs do, plus the projectors are designed for an HID bulb. You can tell the LED bulbs lack the hot spot in the center like the HID bulbs do. You want this for good downroad illumination.
Led can not work with in the same environment where HID was before. Because LED is not one-spot light source, like HID or halogen. It needs another reflector to be used.
HID required ballast and at times difficult to come on during harsh winter weather. LED is plug and play and super cheap. All of my vehicles have since switched to LEDs. It is simple and just as bright. HID is brighter but who cares… the difference is minimal and for the price and much easier installation and they last much longer…. It’s a no brainer to go with LEDs. I hate HIDs. It also depends on the quality of HID you buy. The cheaper ones are terrible and worse than LEDs. $30 LEDs are far superior than $100 HIDS.
LEDs are 9/10 times worse overall. Whiter light is worse for your night vision. It also produces less "natural" wavelengths which distorts how certain colors look. Most of the light is right in front of your car instead of down the road, so while it looks like its brighter, you are just given false sense of confidence. And i bet the overall lumens is lower to start with than a good HID bulb.
If you put hids in a car that has halogen in a projector , putting hids in it are going to be really lame . Hids in reflectors although blind people would destroy leds . Leds don't spread light evenly it's got over saturated Hotspots unless you buy stupid expensive leds like 150 and up is ridiculous for a light bulb.
Диодные лампы имеют свою геометрию излучателя света (диод - это кристалл), в то время, как нить лампы накаливания имеет свою геометрию излучателя (нить), которая довольно сильно отличается от геометрии излучателя диодной лампы. Поэтому, диодные лампы, которые установленны в световые приборы предназначенные для галогеновых ламп или HID ламп, не попадают в геометрию отражателя (который формирует световое поле) и точка фокусировки у них будет другой. Соответственно, светораспределение будет неправильным (чаще всего будет отсутствовать "горячее пятно" света по центру светового поля у светотеневой границы и будет слишком много света вблизи автомобиля). Поэтому - диодные лампы это профанация и вред для себя (и окружающих). Что касается цветовой температуры, то синий спектр чуть более энергоёмок (имеет немного больше большую энергию фотона в микроэлектронвольт), что даёт немного более высокую контрастность, НО, глаза человека устают сильнее. К тому же, синий спектр диодных ламп(400-450нм) отодвигает нижний порог чувствительности человеческого зрения (динамический диапазон уходит немного вверх) и на полностью тёмной дороге освещенной синим спектром вы будете видеть не так далеко. Более теплый свет HID (порядка 4200-4300К) имеет пик своего сильно дискретного спектра (500-550нм) и позволит вам заглянуть немного дальше, отодвинув светотеневую границу. Как то так... P.S. Драйвер диодной лампы в закрытом корпусе фары со временем будет снижать её мощность из за нагрева и невозможности нормального теплоотвода в ограниченном и закрытом пространстве фары (проверено).
Sorry but the hids are much better here. Those are LEDs are decent, but the hid was meant to be there, you clearly have a hot spot on center, where you need the most light to give you straight away range , whereas the led doesn't. Try putting new hid bulbs there or upgrading then, you will get much better results. If for this comparison the hid bulb was an used one, then it wasn't even fair. Hid bulbs degrade over time.
Like how every comment says HIDs are better, led is not that good bla bla, jave audi with factory led lights, it has 15 bulbs in one projector, outout is amazing, had xenon in previous car they were good but leds are much sharper, they have cool cut, cant belive people write led give illusion that they are brigter then HiD because they are more blue
Unless you're an engineer with a goniophotometer, none of this is quantitative research or testing. Guys like Daniel Stern Lighting are one of the few reputable sources of info on automotive lighting. Channels like Headlight Revolution probably aren't even doing proper testing. A basic Lux meter isn't going to cut it. I can't stand driving at night anymore. All the aftermarket junk, and even many OEMs seem too bright now.
they aren’t. most people who swap their lights to LEDs do so in a car with factory fitted halogens which have a designated light reflector pattern. the LEDs don’t shine where they’re supposed to in the lamp, causing wide spread beam projection. vehicles with projection HIDs or Halogens won’t necessarily have that problem as their lamp reflectors are just one smooth cone that goes round the light itself. the projectors also help focus the light on the designated height and angle of illumination because like i mentioned earlier, the reflection pattern is one smooth mirror-like cone. idk if that makes sense or not but i tried to explain to the best of my ability
@@lr._ry LED's don't work well with reflector housing headlights but LED's do well with projector halogen housing as long as the LED's are facing at 3 and 9 o'clock orientation and ALWAYS CHECK LEVEL OF BEAM PATTERN. Adjust if necessary. LED's are superior when it comes to low beam.
@@simasp7189 The factory is not aiming them correctly... Ford and Honda is really bad with this in the US and Canada. Some do have somewhat glaring headlamp design, but most of the issues are due to the factory aiming them too high.
It's because they aren't engineered to throw light into the housing the same way as OEM halogen bulbs do, and they may be brighter (even brighter than the laws permit) but they scatter it in all directions.
L e d headlights are the most selfish invention ever created.. it's like fuck everyone in everything in the oncoming traffic, who cares if they get blinded and cannot see right as long as I have a clear view of the road.
You should educate yourself a little more before jumping to that conclusion. Let me help you add some knowledge to that void of yours: An improperly adjusted headlight, whether halogen, HID, or LED, will always blind you. Think of someone driving with high beams on. Do you really think the high beams are a stronger form of bulb? It’s the same bulb, regardless of type, that is adjusted to be higher.
@@elephoontoftheshanpes8103 it's because a lot of carmakers do not properly aim the low-beams on their vehicles equipped with LED lights. I constantly see new SUV's and Pickups especially with low beams hitting road signs while they're driving on a flat surface. OEM LED color is 5700K color temp, which is white with a violet hue. Behind our windshields that becomes blue due to the charcoal tint on factory windshields. That blue light is naturally irritating to the human eye due to it being the wavelength with tho most energy.
@Dexion845 this comment right here. Companies obviously don't care about anyone but the driver nowadays. I miss yellow-ish headlights that didn't shine directly into your face :(. Even when they did the color helped to not blind people
@elephoontoftheshanpes8103 the issue is how tall vehicles are now and how the led bulbs are not properly calibrated. It would be like saying that nails should be illegal because you got a flat after someone dropped a box out the back or their truck. The issue isint with nails existing, it's with them being improperly used

they aren’t. most people who swap their lights to LEDs do so in a car with factory fitted halogens which have a designated light reflector pattern. the LEDs don’t shine where they’re supposed to in the lamp, causing wide spread beam projection. vehicles with projection HIDs or Halogens won’t necessarily have that problem as their lamp reflectors are just one smooth cone that goes round the light itself. the projectors also help focus the light on the designated height and angle of illumination because like i mentioned earlier, the reflection pattern is one smooth mirror-like cone. idk if that makes sense or not but i tried to explain to the best of my ability
@@lr._rythat's not really the issue. The problem is that OEM LED systems are blinding.
@@lr._ry LED's don't work well with reflector housing headlights but LED's do well with projector halogen housing as long as the LED's are facing at 3 and 9 o'clock orientation and ALWAYS CHECK LEVEL OF BEAM PATTERN. Adjust if necessary. LED's are superior when it comes to low beam.
@@simasp7189 The factory is not aiming them correctly... Ford and Honda is really bad with this in the US and Canada. Some do have somewhat glaring headlamp design, but most of the issues are due to the factory aiming them too high.
hid is for me not led junk
LEDs dont work shit on rain or fog. HIDs are still the best IMO, but ill go with LEDs everytime, much cheaper and easiert to install lol.
led bad for oncoming traffic... glare
It's because they aren't engineered to throw light into the housing the same way as OEM halogen bulbs do, and they may be brighter (even brighter than the laws permit) but they scatter it in all directions.
Bull they all blind everyone stop saying they don’t. These lights are to bright.
led cool white not suit for bad traffic,,.
well. I doubt the HID was new. and please only use bulbs the headlight was made for, no janky stuff
L e d headlights are the most selfish invention ever created.. it's like fuck everyone in everything in the oncoming traffic, who cares if they get blinded and cannot see right as long as I have a clear view of the road.
I love halogen light
LED lights should be illigal
LED headlights should be illegal
You should educate yourself a little more before jumping to that conclusion. Let me help you add some knowledge to that void of yours:
An improperly adjusted headlight, whether halogen, HID, or LED, will always blind you.
Think of someone driving with high beams on. Do you really think the high beams are a stronger form of bulb? It’s the same bulb, regardless of type, that is adjusted to be higher.
@alanlee9332 Oh no, I am fully aware. I hate all these new excessively bright headlights. The brightness doesn't help, infact it makes things worse
@@elephoontoftheshanpes8103 it's because a lot of carmakers do not properly aim the low-beams on their vehicles equipped with LED lights. I constantly see new SUV's and Pickups especially with low beams hitting road signs while they're driving on a flat surface.
OEM LED color is 5700K color temp, which is white with a violet hue. Behind our windshields that becomes blue due to the charcoal tint on factory windshields. That blue light is naturally irritating to the human eye due to it being the wavelength with tho most energy.
@Dexion845 this comment right here. Companies obviously don't care about anyone but the driver nowadays. I miss yellow-ish headlights that didn't shine directly into your face :(. Even when they did the color helped to not blind people
@elephoontoftheshanpes8103 the issue is how tall vehicles are now and how the led bulbs are not properly calibrated. It would be like saying that nails should be illegal because you got a flat after someone dropped a box out the back or their truck. The issue isint with nails existing, it's with them being improperly used
Halogen is best
LEDs suck.
