For my truck and my eyes, the colour and patterns of halogen provide superior visibility and do not cause drive fatigue. The LEDs just bleed white everywhere (washout) resulting in poorer definition and object recognition - as well as leaving my head buzzing after only a few hours of night driving.
I knew I couldn't be the only one I started to notice it a couple days ago after installing the LEDs they are not good at all I can hardly see anything I'm going back to halogens the led hype is no more for me
Let's settle it once and for all. LED looks very bright, but does not illuminate surrounding well. When you use headlight, not only you want to see where you lights go but more importantly the objects the light illuminates. In other words, the ambient halogen creates is way better than LED so you see where the light goes but also the surrounding from the ambience it creates. Just in case if you haven't noticed, LED is really annoying for upcoming traffic. Maybe we should also care about others.
You try to discredit Halogen with Sylvania Basic lol! I got Philips RacingVision GT200 in my car with Philips Xenon X-treme Gen2 and I garantee you that these are equal with your led lights even better when it comes to tireness and road conditions. Headlights is for halogen or HID (xenon) only! I put Auxito led bulbs on my 2005 BMW only in the tail and turn signal lights because thats the only way LED is good... for bright signals, not for illumination!!
Not only halogen lights are warmer in colour which makes them soother for eyes from the opposite end....which makes them safer. Coz sometimes those LED lights are too bright from other end and makes driver blind ....and vehicle going off road or hitting other vehicles are common now. LED light are brighter and range is also far, which makes driver casual and rash driving at nights are increasing. Govt. Should ban LED headlamps on vehicle.
LED is the clear winner here. There is a reason no new cars except for entry level ones use halogen lights anymore. High power consumption, dim light and short lifespan.
I will just say this... How well can you see the signs on the side of the road, and signs on the bridges as you go under them, what is hiding in the dark area of the LED on the side and above with LED?
what ever the company puts in the car is pass through various testing which we dont know always...therefore if a car comes with halogens i will prefer that

You’re bull! I make LEDs and Halogen light bulbs for cars. And halogen is way far more superior than LEDs on the distance. LEDs are brighter, and will light up things that are closer. But for distance, halogens always wins!!! Stop trying to promote what your selling!!!
I will now go for halogen bulbs for the win. I have been doing research like crazy as I want to change out the H11 bulbs in my 2016 Camry. Guess I will go with Sylvania or Osram halogens.
Wish the LEDs had a lower Kelvin. Halogens are better in poor weather conditions, LEDs are better in clear, dry conditions. I want LEDs to have more light output in the yellow spectrum
Use halogen fog lamps and/or dipped beams. I only use LEDs for high beams otherwise good halogens are bright enough like Phillips white vision or Xtreme vision, or osram night breakers. The only problem is that they don't last as long as LEDs.
I think the one thing people forget to check (because it is a difficult test), is how blinding LED lights are to the opposite side of traffic which will be a great test, I personally prefer the lights that came from the factory, whatever they are, my reason being that they are most suited to the car
I'm talking to you about a recent experience that happened to me: I installed LED lights on my Toyota Prado, and I spent $30, the light was noticeably annoying to others, but the vision for me as a driver was really not perfect, especially at a distance of 10 to 30 metres, Especially in dark and not properly paved roads where you need to see the details, which prompted me to reinstall the halogen exactly as it came from the factory... Someone may tell me that we have tests, figures and measuring devices... I do not deny these tests, but I speak from experience. LED light only annoys others and has a greater effect on others, but it is no better than halogen light for the driver of the vehicle.
Led bulbs in headlights designed for halogens give terrible beam pattern. It causes glare to other users while also reducing visibility to the driver. However poeple stilk recommend them
did you try them in projector or reflector type headlights? also, huge difference in LED bulbs when it comes to the actual diode placement, hence the variance in projection and pattern.
Lol I was driving on the highway with my yellow halogen lights along with many other cars . Out of the blue came a Toyota Innova with a bright white light . We were cruising almost on parallel lanes and i just could see the huge difference in his and mine light setup. The road looked crystal clear in his white light which were also considerably brighter. And all that on low beam cause when he used the high beam i could see so far away. Have me hooked on those and am looking at white lights to replace my halogens ASAP
DOnt expect anything good out if a led set for 30... Entry level for good ones is around 100$ its not about how expensive its about longevity and output mainly
Then warranty them out through a reputable company. Simple as that! I bought my LEDs from Headlight experts and they honor a lifetime warranty. They back their product. Companies that don't, beware. Anyway, my LEDs have yet to fail me after two years and thousands of hours on the road at night. They look incredible too! People always compliment them.
Two important comments, what about blinding the oncoming drivers and does led really work well on high beam illuminating the most important part further ahead?
I've tried and switched back and forth during actual driving. Believe or not, stock halogens have better visability then brigher LED headlights. The whiter light causes lots of reflections on the pavement and turns yellow medians and lines white and it masks pavement and concretee such as curbs. The LEDs also seem to have a narrower field of view at their sides.. The yellower halogen lights are the way to go if you have aging eyes. Additionally LEDs white light blinds oncoming drivers too.
@@Undisputed_King bullshit. I pass stock vehicles with LEDs every day. The difference is warm light versus cold light and how they effect the human eye. If you drive in hills, aiming is a non-factor. A halogen on hills is far more forgiving than LEDs that focus intensity on your eye level. It really doesn't take a genius.
According to hidrevolution's channel the gtr lighting ultra 2 have the highest lumens but they're $200 for a pair :-/ you've got to remember that projector and reflector headlight housings are gonna have different output in lumens even though it's the same bulb.
LED form a brighter light spot in front of the vehicle. This bright spot may affect how the eye sees objects in the dark at the periphery of the visual field. I understand that LED shows more lux, but I like halogen more.
LED is brighter but it will destroy your peripheral vision, you can actually drive with your lights off and still see, except it's illegal. The ultimate would be a good set of PIAA (or equivalent) yellow driving/fog lights as an auxiliary option. And where is HID headlights in this equation?
the best type of bulb is double sided csps leds by far in terms of beam pattern and lighting, a set of bulbs under 20$ with 20 watts should give double lighting than halogens , on 2:54 you clearly see halogen has brighter hot spot
it seems like the LED you installed in your car works well and has no glare at all than what what Hid Revolution has previously indicated with this type of LED, and it looks like it worked well with the Projector headlight of that particular Hyundai Accent. I get annoyed by owners who put LED lights in their car without professional advice and end up spreading glare on the road and blinding us at the same time their choice of led doesnt omit enough light to improve their visibility
I will tell you exactly why your test with the lux meter and measuring tape is not going to give realistic results. Whenever you install an aftermarket bulb like an LED or even an HID Bulb it inherently changes optic characteristics. In most cases makes the cutoff rise by a few degrees sometimes even more. What I haven’t seen is them getting lower when putting led bulbs in halogen housings. So with that in mind the led is always going to reach further in that test due to the fact the cutoff is raised meaning light will shine further due to angle more than lighting power superiority. Yours didn’t appear to rise much which is why it only gave about 15 feet extra range of lighting. Still in order to make sure they test the same you’d need to go pull up against a wall in a very dark area. With one original halogen bulb installed on one side and the aftermarket led on the other side, pull straight back and see if the one side with the led bulb starts to shine a bit higher the further you back up. Even if it’s casting light only a quarter inch or so higher at 50 feet, that could be 5 inches higher at 100 feet or 10 inches higher at 150 feet. The problem is unless you can prove that the light isn’t changing the cutoff height whatsoever the results will always come out skewed toward the led in this case. Making it a rigged test so to speak for the led bulb.
I drive a car with halogen headlights for a reason, vision during heavy rain and fog is much worse with LED headlights. The visibility with halogen headlights are superior to LED’s in allowing you the driver to see objects and situations better.
They need to illegalize LED headlights. I'm tired of these drivers going past me with what I believe to be their brights on, so I flash mine at them only for them to flash their brights and light up the whole fucking planet. This is especially true for pickup drivers. Pickups are larger these days, so their headlights sit further above the ground, and most, if not all, shine their beams directly into your rear windshield making it literally impossible to see. This caused me to wreck not too long ago when I lost complete visibility in front of me due to a RAM driver shoving their LEDs up my ass and riding my bumper cause apparently already going 15 above the limit is too slow for a RAM driver and their ego is too fragile to move to the fast lane. Long story short, his lights literally took over my vision as they reflected off my windshield and made it impossible to see anything. This forced me to slow down, which, because he was riding my ass, he rear ended me taking out my entire back section of my car. Luckily I wasn't injured. And he didn't even have his brights on. His insurance company bought me a brand new car after reviewing both of our dashcams. I've since bought these special reflective strips that can only be hit by very bright LED lights and at certain angles, and produce a beam of light directly back at the driver behind me forcing them to backup. These were recommended to me by my insurance company. My other issue is people seem incapable of properly setting their headlights, and seem to have a tendency of pointing them further up so their beam is going directly in your eyes. All in all this is a serious safety issue. You can see perfectly fine with halogen lights. LED lights have no business being used as headlights, especially when there's already an epidemic of incompetent drivers.
Why is this LED needed? It blinds oncoming drivers, eyes get tired, visibility deteriorates, potholes are not visible if the streets are poorly lit, then bright light is a minus, since the eye will have difficulty seeing distant darkened objects, you have to strain your vision to see something. And the biggest disadvantage is that bright light at night can worsen your vision. It's like watching your phone at maximum brightness in complete darkness.
If you're driving the car the LED lights are better. However, they are so bright someone may mistake them for hi beam lights. Too bright to for the cars in front of them.
my eyes more relax to see road if i use halogen.. before this, i also test led, but mind reaction to slow..if i use halogen, more relax and my mind feel more save.. i dont know why..
LED bashers here need to do their research before commenting. LED beams don't scatter if *_ALIGNED PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLATION._* If you want an LED to last longer and, stick to branded fanless types. Those types also tend to have focus points unlike cheap LEDs. They live longer than regular halogens as well as HIDs.
50,000 hrs?!! Lmao I'd LOVE to see that happen in real life as mine may last a year. I use 12,000 and just upped to allegedly 20,000 lumen (10k ea). They are brighter but I think more like 15,000 lumens
Mine have probably burned for 10,000 hours and going strong. Buy from a reputable company that backs their product with a lifetime guarantee. I bought mine from Headlight experts. Best LEDs on the market!
Love my LED bulbs, my highbeams are h1 and low beams are h7, i converted my h1 into led and they are super bright, love how i can see so much more details, on the road im going to upgrade my low beams to led aswell for maximum definition on the road.
I have 4 sided LED's on my 2015 Nissan Sentra and I love them! I do a lot of road trips and highway driving. I leave and drive all night as I preffer to drive at night than during the day. Anyways I preffer the LED headlights as they give me a wider & father view which here in Colorado is very important due to wildlife. A lot of people are saying they are very straining for your eyes I have never had that issue in the slightest even in 10 hour plus continuous driving. My only complaint is reduced visibility during rain compared to my old stock halogens. Conclusion the pros outweigh the cons and I do recommemd them!
Halogens on my Ram 1500 were POS. I get off work at 3 am and had a hard time seeing ahead. Now, with Morimotos, I can see the road way ahead and my truck looks fancy. Halogens are for old grandpas.

LED little bit bright than halogen , halogen good for heavy snow and foggy because that one is wham light l guess
So you are testing a basic halogen to a led...what about the sylvania ultra or osram night breaker unlimited vs the led
Great point, indeed! Those two halogen bulbs should work pretty good although a shorter life span than the OEM.
the high performance halogens will burn out faster than the low performance ones. LED lifespan is longer
Yeah you use the basic halogen bulb and not the medium or top performance!!
You should've adjusted the cutoff height, some LED kits need to recalibrate the beam height
@@user-mj5vx8xj8t it matters to oncoming traffic. Consider the safety of others not just yourself
Halogen better
They look the same
Not really better, just a different color.
Halogens are the best for rainy rides
my eyes more relax to see road if i use halogen.. before this, i also test led, but mind reaction to slow..if i use halogen, more relax and my mind feel more save.. i dont know why..
Very interesting i appreciate you sharing.
Could be the color of BLUE that the Brain can see but you don't !
same here!
Many research says LED lights are bad for eyes!
Good comments, my friend.
To me a no brainer, LED's. Ima getting me some asap! Thanks
LED ...i have HID in and im not impresed...the FOG loght on my car has LED and that seems even rboghter than the head lights yow lol
LED bashers here need to do their research before commenting. LED beams don't scatter if *_ALIGNED PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLATION._* If you want an LED to last longer and, stick to branded fanless types. Those types also tend to have focus points unlike cheap LEDs. They live longer than regular halogens as well as HIDs.
50,000 hrs?!! Lmao I'd LOVE to see that happen in real life as mine may last a year. I use 12,000 and just upped to allegedly 20,000 lumen (10k ea). They are brighter but I think more like 15,000 lumens
Mine have probably burned for 10,000 hours and going strong. Buy from a reputable company that backs their product with a lifetime guarantee. I bought mine from Headlight experts. Best LEDs on the market!
Love my LED bulbs, my highbeams are h1 and low beams are h7, i converted my h1 into led and they are super bright, love how i can see so much more details, on the road im going to upgrade my low beams to led aswell for maximum definition on the road.
You should’ve compared the ultra halogen.
Great point, my friend.
Who the hell invented feet? I have no idea if 100 feet i a lot or not :)
God bro
You don't have feet?
Goolge "feet", then you'll know.
It's about 30 metres.
The Queen of England 👸 for real a foot was her shoe size 👠
Think of it this way. It's about 0.429 hectares. Easy to remember and convert in your head.
can i replace my halogen with an led? or do i need a conversion kit?
Halogen anyday.
6K Halogen H4 vs 6K LED HV4
😴 "seuri we lah..."
💡🙄 "banyol..." 😄😁
Thanks buddy. Good useful video.
LED is much clear then halogens
In clear, dry weather, yes. Not necessarily in dark, rainy weather.
Which is better in fog?
Rain n fogs? Led is a big no..
It's only cute in the darkest clear nite...
My LEDs cut through fog like a champion. What the hell are you talking about?
can you use LEDs in a conventional older style headlight?
You can. The question is SHOULD you
You can, but you shouldn't. The beam pattern is bad for you, and blinding to everyone else
@@TommyTombstone The more I research, the more I agree with you. I will go with halogen for more light than the stock OEM on my Camry.
Which headlots are baest?
I have 4 sided LED's on my 2015 Nissan Sentra and I love them! I do a lot of road trips and highway driving. I leave and drive all night as I preffer to drive at night than during the day. Anyways I preffer the LED headlights as they give me a wider & father view which here in Colorado is very important due to wildlife. A lot of people are saying they are very straining for your eyes I have never had that issue in the slightest even in 10 hour plus continuous driving. My only complaint is reduced visibility during rain compared to my old stock halogens. Conclusion the pros outweigh the cons and I do recommemd them!
LED lights have a much further view sure.
But in terms of width, I don’t think so.
@@grm0x4q12 Depends on the bulb, the 2 sided led's are closer to halogen bulbs and are narrower, 4+ sided tends to be more of a flood light effect.
Best comparison video I've seen. Tks man.
Thanks for the video.
Halogen all the way
Very helpful
What do you guys recommend for a Scion Tc ????
no headlights at all
U sounds like the guy from forest gump
Nate, thank you, thank you, thank you! Great video. great job!!!!
Halogen 6k wins for sure. And you don't have to worry about fixing the drivers (yes these Audew go out quick).
LED is better
Halogens on my Ram 1500 were POS. I get off work at 3 am and had a hard time seeing ahead. Now, with Morimotos, I can see the road way ahead and my truck looks fancy. Halogens are for old grandpas.
I love your Texas accent mate
Led is illegal
Great Comparison. Thank you
I stayed for the commentary 😂
Led is better in every way halogen just looks dirty in comparison
