The biggest downside to upgrading incandescent to led headlights (when using the good bulbs) is that they are so much brighter that people think your high-beams are on, and flash you. Just compare the yellow beam at the beginning with the white beam at the end, which is so bright, the camera is clipping. It’s important to have bulbs that produce light from the exact same location so that the parabolic reflector aims that light to the correct place on the road and not blind oncoming traffic. It’s perfectly legal to sell non DOT equipment, but they leave it up to you to honor the fact they are not road legal, and not use them in public roads.

@r.j.bedore9884 6 ай бұрын

So, for anyone wondering, the stock reflectors are designed for a point light source where the filament would be located using a stock bulb. Even if you took that stock bulb and moved it forward or backward a centimeter or so it would completely change the beam pattern because the light would be reflected at a different angle than it was designed for. Therefore, when you stick a poorly designed LED bulb in there that has light sources spread out all over it, the pattern that gets reflected will be all over the place too. That is why a quality LED replacement bulb has only two small high intensity LED chips placed at a specific point so that it can mimic the filament the reflector was designed for. Most vehicles that come with LED headlights from the factory have a completely different style of reflector from the ones used by filament based bulbs so that it can be tuned to the particular size and shape of the LED chip being used.

I told her, thats at the detriment to every other driver that passes you. Your okay with that? She told me that they would be fine, nothing is going to hurt them. That's which i replied that many studies today would disagree with that. And that kinda thinking isnt fair to every other driver. She replied again that I worry too much and that shes fine. I said okay well i hope you dont get any tickets and imma pray you find it in your heart not to blind others. And she laughed and pulled off. The light had been green since i originally told her about the cops on the highway. I had cleared her to go through at the beginning of the conversation.

Dude, all LED and HID conversion kits are technically illegal. The replacement bulb must be the same type and spec that was installed by the vehicles manufacturer. This is why all reputable LED bulb manufacturers use the disclaimer: " FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY". With that said....There are some better made LED bulbs with a better beam pattern and better cooling but the only type of bulb that belongs in a reflector housing is a conventional halogen. To get the best results from a conversion kit the bulbs should be a 55-65 watt flat stalk design with 1-3 diodes per side with a rotatable collar for adjusting installed in a projector housing. Improperly installed, cheap, over powered, incorrect color temp LEDs are just as bad as the cheap ass HID kits that hit the scene in the early 2000's. All the so called performance shops carried them and installed them and had everybody driving around with blue and purple headlights blinding oncoming traffic until municipalities started cracking down on them and had police issuing equipment violations left and right. You waited for a ticket or waited for the cheap ass ballast to fail, whichever came first.

@@HeadlightRevolution I installed the Auxito Q16s on my Kenworth T680 and actually ended up returning them and going with Fahren because the Auxito just didn't manage heat well at all and they would constantly adjust their brightness levels. It was barely noticeable but I couldn't stand seeing it all night while driving. They were exceptionally bright though and matched the beam pattern perfectly.

You should ahow the best led bulb for the older ram reflector housings (2nd and 3rd gen) so those reflector bowls are notorious for theowing out a poor beam pattern.

Ive seen a few videos about those LED headlights needing to be scraped off quite often in a colder environment... but the older bulbs produce heat to melt the snow and ice in the winter.. it would be nice to see either way 😅

It's a non issue. If you're getting enough snow that it covers the headlights, you're brushing and scraping snow off your windshield and windows anyways. It takes 10 extra seconds to scrape the headlights. (Speaking as someone from NE Ohio where we get snow by the foot)

@@justinfrye965 I've never had that problem at all and have never seen it happen. Unless you have a really rare icing condition where the snow can stick well, I've never had a buildup on my car. Still, if this actually is a problem in some areas (which I don't doubt), there could be legislation mandating headlight deicers, almost like the traffic light deicers that already exist. That wouldn't be such a bad idea in general, to be honest. I'd definitely pay extra for better deicers and defrosters in cars.

@AlanMcYou 7 ай бұрын

The light has to come from the same position as on the original halogen bulb. The two sided bulb is decent at that, but not perfect. The four sided thing isn't even close.

@simplyalan7260 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for educating me. Question. When you install the dual sided led bulbs, is the stalk of the "bulb" supposed to be vertical or horizontal? The ones Ive tried dont have a specific direcrection. They are omni directional.

When you install a 2-sided LED, the stalk needs to be vertical with the LED chips pointing left to right, not up and down.

@HeadlightRevolution 6 ай бұрын

Most LEDs bulb are not recommended for now, expect the Morimoto 2stroke 3.0s. We've had the best luck with snow and storms using those bulbs since they circulate warm air around the housing, it helps prevent build-up on the lenses!

@thermalops 6 ай бұрын

This is good to see but I also think there’s still a problem with these LED’s n it’s not necessarily the fault of the led itself, but more there not compatible with every headlight housing design. I’ve seen people put LED’s like that in housings like the one your using where the bulb is in a shroud or even fully enclosed. Which makes it so not enough air can flow over the heatsync and the bulbs fry themselves
