I run factory filament 55w for fog lamps as the heat keeps the snow and ice off. For low beams i use 55 watt 6000k HID's. And for high beams I use 60 watt 6000k LED's. Truck is a 2020 GMC diesel Canyon Denali 4x4 crew cab long box.
Couple of things to consider with both H.I.D and LED. First off the variables as to types of lighting, spectrum of light, focus of light, and where they're at as far as mounting go all have to be considered. Your HID lights are great for projection and center of the grill or up above the cab are ideal places for them. Again, size and color will play a key roll in their actual functionality. For example your HID show a lot of hot and cold spots up close but gave you great depth down the trail... LED, also biggest issues we see is improper mounting of the wrong LED type. What do I mean? I mean there are different types of optics for different speeds of driving, full view, or pencil type focused beams. Then you throw in size and where they're mounted into the mix as variables too. And to the average individual you would think a light, is a light, is a light, and mounting positions anywhere of convenience should suffice, and optics are part of "design or brand character", that's a false assumption and also why you see so many cheap brands on the market that put virtually nothing into an optic let alone a quality brand LED. They just crank up the LED to run at an over clocked performance level as part of engineered obsolescence. You really have to look at the total use of the vehicles use and the drivers needs and wants and apply the proper lighting for the job. Just like the right tool for the right job gets the job done right every time. And until you spend some time with someone whose willing to take the time to educate others and work within their needs or a given budget and show them the why's and why nots.. you're just mounting a collaboration of lights of any and all types for the sake of just being [not so] bright or vehicular posing for mall crawling status. You may for the terrain and use need a combination of different lights from Halogen to HID to LED.. weather and season's are additional variables to consider. Do you get fog where you're at or snow and rain like conditions? Are you in canyons or forest terrain more so than flat and narrow roads in desert trails? All need to be considered before purchasing and lighting systems as a whole regardless if your picking it up pair at a time or individual components.
Go both or go slow. Led more light close and to the side. Hid more light further ahead but less for corners. I changed my factory to hid and it was way better on and off road. I added 2 HID's and it lit up great for off road. It would be nice to add a LED bar maybe a curved one ? Good Video Thanks! I added a reverse light bright but not expensive or great for the front and it is valuable. Very much by myself. 87 Bronco with 96 front glass body and lights
The racers that run HIDs use a combination of lights. Long range, driving, and fog. Here I'm only runing two 6x9 driving lights. Now if I was running eight 6x9s I could aim the lights for more coverage across the road. My Bronco has 75watt HID KC Dayliters. Two driving beams and two long range. I like them but they do use a lot of power!
@@rudedogii The lights are HID and use that much? I understand halogens use quite a bit , I changed my headlights to HID and bought some Hella 700's used and changed them to HID too. They do not require larger wire just small boxes. I put in a high watt alt in before with a stereo with 2 amps an electric winch and lights. Planning on a second batt. I sadly just lost my Monster Trans within 10 miles of a new engine installed. The lights are great to have off road at night. You do a lot of off road driving
FIREFORD TEC LED is the way 2 go now , it have cheap LED kit an good 1s so careful wat u buy , an also LED is far better because it drives less heat into the headlight housing, it uses less current an comes on instant
alien? I was expecting to see a girl with long black hair, wearing a white night gown, staring down at her bare feet, standing in the middle of the road in front of you.
6500k Cree Xhp70 leds for dimmer, 100W halogen projector for upper. Admit it guys, halogens are best for high beam. Hid and Leds only help make it look exotic, no visibility in rough weather
nirav patel Halogen is still pretty decent. Led is "bright" up close with no real distance or contrast. They are too blue. 4000-5000 kelvin hid in a projector at least I believe is still king. Especially if you install higher watt ballasts. I bought a top quality led light bar and I am disappointed. The up close glare is unbearable and the distance isn't much better than stock headlights. I start getting a headache in a few minutes. Glare really isn't usable. Too many people believe that if it's really bright outside the vehicle looking back that it will be good while driving which just isn't true. A well focused halogen is still better than led. People just think the blue colors look neat instead of the yellow halogens. That blue light disappears on wet roads. Led products are cheap to make so they profit more that's it.
"6x9 KC's" they are separate housings with high powered HID's in them. They are purpose built off road lights, those are not plug and play HID bulbs in his stock headlight housings lol
@@nikhilpandkar4418 I have a friend who uses hid 35w for his fogs, but he doesn't drive for long periods of time so I guess it's safe in his case.. I would not put it.. go with some LEDs.
@@nikhilpandkar4418 I think it depends a lot on the quality of the hid kit, also on the plastic of your lamps, some lower quality one might turn yellow gradually if there's too much heat and as for your 55w hids, they have a higher chance to wear off due to higher wattage.
I thought hids were awesome, but there charge up time is terrible on the highway when switching between high and lows. I switched to leds and they are way brighter and instant response time.
Only need bright enough to see, too dim no good too bright no good either because if too bright it will turn any rock or pot hole into same color as flat spot if on freeway you will run over it. I used 55W 4300k HID see just everything on the road
that what iws thinking too. A lot of the light was wasted on the ground not far from the front of the car, especially the HID lights. Aim those up a little higher and you wont need anything else.
Those HIDS pull a lot of power "current", but shine fall down the road in open areas like the desert. I'm running 75 watt but there are 95 watts out there! The LEDs work well and take less power. Look for a quality light like KC.
Hello ive been buying led bulbs for my 03 beetle there not doing the job all shit. what has to be done is i will recontruct my own head light housing to bolt in inserts light speaker lighting fuck it.
Music is on point by the way.
My thoughts exactly
Palwinder Singh garbage
leds have good short range spread. hid has good long range punch. love it

12degnorth well said!!!
Thank you for uploading this video it helped me in making the purchase decision
What was the outcome. I fell asleep with boredom.
thanks for the comment. i didnt waste my time
Lmao
HID light pattern like flashlight with intense hotspots. LED les bright but better spread of light. They each have it's advantages
Both are a good combo
Are HID fog lights safe ???. .I hear they catch fire. I have 55 W HID bi xenon projector fog lights.
HID The best and most powerful on the road
Yeah 8 years ago. WAKE THE FUK UP. THIS IS 2020.
Which is the best k rating for hid ??
@@dashcamdude6690 WAKE THE FUK UP HID IS DEAD. You need LED.
Nice comparison thanks 🙏
Spotlights with little spread to sides. Use those on the street, blind other drivers and have a chat with popo...

i like both. i think the ones on the roof of your bronco are going to be bad ass
The HIDs have better distance and the LEDs have way too much foreground.
Led's. I have them on my jeep and my rzr love them👍🇺🇸

Led are not compare to HiDs
HID LOVE THE ARC LAMP

for my 1996 bronco hids, old school truck just makes sense with hids
This kind of roads and this kind of time you need only one Land Rover Discovery
Need to have a second one for parts.
LED's are better now.
You couldnt pay me enough to drive trough there alone at that hour lol i was expecting alien to pop out at any second lol

In your case HIDs for better visibility i dont like the blue leds.
The LEDs seem to reflect back to much light.
Hid is mean for projectors.
75w hid? Didn't even know that existed.. Might be so powerful that your headlights housing and wires will end up melting
"6x9 KC's" they are separate housings with high powered HID's in them. They are purpose built off road lights, those are not plug and play HID bulbs in his stock headlight housings lol

Hid or Led? Both. Hid headlights with an led light bar.
Imagine someone trying to hitch a ride
Someone's not wearing the Seatbelt!
Nothing can beat Hids. Hids forever, Led are very weak
nirav patel my hid bulb gave out now im using an led kit and it much brighter well see how long ths one lasts
But hids give alot of problems I'll stick with leds
I thought hids were awesome, but there charge up time is terrible on the highway when switching between high and lows. I switched to leds and they are way brighter and instant response time.
Both of them have their pros and cons.
Whats the cons about LEDS??
HIDS look great....
hey rudedogg what's the name of that song. sounds relaxing...
Moises Medina sounds like pink floyd
Right it went so well with the video 😂👌👍🎵
Whether to install led headlight with relay or wiring harness?
So cool,thrilling music
Music? I can’t find it anywhere on TH-cam .-.
I had to look that up. Thats "Dark Matter" ! It's from Adobe Premiere Elements 15
rudedogii Thank you so much man. Really appreciated your reply.
HID is more powerful

damn are we in fucking purgatory or what?
Could be, I didn't see anybody else out there all day long!
rudedogii ahhh!! Nice lights though but ahhh!!!
I was out at Bad Water on Westside road far away from the tourist.
Music???
HID kit: th-cam.com/video/VsaQXEl6onU/w-d-xo.html
U shuld adjust ur lights up...its too narrow and too near...

That's free music that came with my editing software.
rudedogii could you tell me the name of software ?
Adobe Premier Elements 15
thanks
Hassan M. what was the song name to that video?
Hid
Flash light led long bar
I have low hids and high halogen bulbs tell me how to change them to hids or leds
Find out what bulbs you have now. Then do a search on Amazon. Your bulb "number HID" kit.
Wtf was that music???
It came from your motha brotha
I don't get this his vid????? Title vid?????
It's English. HID "High Intensity Discharge" , LED "Light Emitting Diode",
lol :)
Hello ive been buying led bulbs for my 03 beetle there not doing the job all shit. what has to be done is i will recontruct my own head light housing to bolt in inserts light speaker lighting fuck it.
