The conclusion is completly wrong and in many cases recommends illegal result. It should be: In this test for this car this particular LED bulb gives brighter lighting comparing to this (unknown to public) HID setup and whatever brand halogen bulb was used. In most cases afternarket LED bulbs have quite poor reliability and are absolutely horrible in reflector type housing. Even with projector housing (as shown on the video) Led bulb creates a mosaic of bright and dark spots (terrible for night vision). By the way what is the reason for temperature comparison?

Being a headlight junkie and having tried everything myself, I can tell you that absolutely NOTHING beats a 35w HID projector retrofitted 4300k setup. You get the purest white light and the cleanest cutoff beam without being annoyingly too bright and flashy. Sometimes having a bright light isn't necessarily the best because you are blinding everyone on the road. Be respectful of other drivers. The color output also depends on your ballast as well. Anything below 4300k is getting in the yellow, and anything above 5k is too blue (ive owned 3k, 5k, 6k, 8k, 10k. IMO and many others, 4300k to 5k is the sweet spot for the best output) If you want to do a comparison video, please don't use a cheapo plug and play HID kit. It is misleading information. HID's are meant to be used in an HID specific housing.

@@NeerajBharwani The saying kinda goes "you gotta pay to play". This is also true of lights. Honestly anything can be bright, but the well engineered stuff usually focuses the light on the road and not at the sky. If your headlight uses halogen bulbs, I would not use anything other than halogen bulbs. Manufacturers engineer these types of headlights to scatter light, and they do that well. If you want the best, search up a "how to" on retrofitting HID's. They take a bit of skill and money, but they cannot be beat. Just be sure you arent just throwing in a cheapo plug and play kit. I've started doing these about 14 years ago and honestly have never regretted it. These days they make it easy to do. On my current car, I don't even bother using high beams or fog lights. The HID's just completely embarrasses them.

Before anyone starts buying $400 LED or HID kits for your car, please consider the setup of your headlights. Is it a reflector or projector housing? If it’s a projector, is it a halogen projector, LED projector or HID projector. My car came with a stock halogen projectors and without proper knowledge I immediately swapped out the halogens for a high end LED bulb with the expectation of putting out much brighter light on the road. It should come as no surprise that the foreground (the area directly in front of your vehicle) was bright AF but I noticed my car couldn’t light up the road ahead. Turns out, the beam pattern of LED’s vary greatly compared to halogen bulbs and within a week I had to switch back because I kept driving into potholes and couldn’t see shit

Interesting results. From my years of testing and multiple retrofits. A good ballast, bulb and hid projector 4300K to just under 5000k retrofit beats any drop-in kit. This is 100% of the time. It also outperforms many oem LED setups too. My current 2017 Lincoln OEM hid had horrible output and the LED helped for that car. Neither of them come close to the Honda S2000 AP1 Hid retrofit on my Dodge Magnum. Denso quick starting ballasts and Nightbreaker D2S 4500k bulbs.

Very interesting test, though I don't quite understand the rather large delta of color temperatures. I guess it depends on where in the light cone you measure, for projector type headlights you can get quite a bit of chromatic aberration towards the edges of the light cone (regardless of light source). But 8000 Kelvin HIDs are not OEM standard for many cars, it's usually more like 5600K.

The led is the clearest of the bunch. I'm assuming that the lux differences have to do with the distance and brightest areas of the beams since between the led and hid, the measurements fluctuate. It would make sense that the brightness should decrease with distance in a linear fashion. 🤔
