______________________________________________________________
In this video, I get my hands on some LED headlights bulbs from Auxbeam. I go over the differences between them, along with showing you the difference in light output, along with colour temperature. These LED’s were installed in a set of projector lenses for my low beams, and in a reflector housing for my fog lights.
They were a huge upgrade compared to the regular halogen bulbs. The light output is better, driving at night time will be safer, and they look a lot nicer than the traditional yellow bulbs.
NOTE When installing the lights in your headlight housing, if the light coming out from the headlights does not have a nice cutoff, you should not drive with them on the roads as you will blind on-coming drivers as the headlights will scatter the light, as opposed to direct it onto the road.

I changed low beams from Osram Nightbreakers halogens to LEDs in my euro Accord. I have projector and H1 socket. I like LEDs better, especially when driving on country roads, LEDs give better light to right side, and I have better visibility in bushes, so I could potentially see better animals. And with LEDs all road signs, reflectors are far more brighter. Downsides - it's harder to see potholes and on wet driving conditions everything dark. I left halogens in my fog lights, so I am using these to get little bit yellow light and see better potholes and wet road. I compared light with aftermarket HID on similar Accord. Results are pretty similar.

how are you supposed to install these? Most cars headlight housing have a closed cap system which would not allow that big cooling system on back to fit in there. You don't want to leave the cap off because dust, dirt, and moisture will enter into the housing and cloud it up from the inside.

If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it! LED-lights in cars don't contribute to a better environment at all. Your battery and dynamo have an overcapacity anyway, so that the halogen gets hot and looses part of the energy is totally irrelevant. LED-lights are a totally unnecessary and too expensive investment. You can buy complete H4 sets for less than $2.- Just make sure you have two spare sets with you in the car, so that you can instantly replace a bulb at any time and all by yourself. Just keep your car original and functional at the lowest possible cost and don't copmplicate stuff that was originally designed to be simple!

Don't know about other states, but Washington State, it is illegal to change the illumination of your headlights/taillights/brake lights... That includes 'shading' the brake lights or taillights. OEM are the only street legal lights. Will you be cited for it? Probably not. But you do not want an investigation because you were involved in a collision caused by your illegal headlight installation. If someone is blinded by your headlights and crosse the centerline and hits you? YOU are at fault. The LED headlights have illumination 'panels' on two sides of the 'bulb' instead of a 360 degree projection. So your factory headlight assembly will not be able to be aimed correctly. If you install LED lights, you 100% MUST replace the headlight assembly to match the aiming of the LEDs. Because very few cars have this option, it is illegal....

They should sell affordable aftermarket kits to replace the designed-for-halogen housing with a LED suitable housing. The main issue comes with using LED bulbs in a housing designed for halogen light emission. If carmakers work against this claiming they aren’t ADR/DOT approved, so they can sell more cars, rather than allowing people to upgrade older cars, then we will continue to see people retrofit LED bulbs into halogen housings and create glare. It makes me sick as there is far better safety that can be had if everyone had quality legal options to upgrade existing headlights to properly aimed LED without glare.

Seeing as LEDs come in a range of color temps, does anyone make warm-white/halogen colored LED kits? Blue-ish light kills nightvision.

@YouNameItGaming 7 жыл бұрын

PongoXBongo you'd go more by colour temperature then. most kits are 6,000k-6,200k which is also commonly referred to as ultra white and well, they're damn white! although the first 2 pairs in the video are 6500k which is very slightly blue, or ice white as some call it

@PsyBee 5 жыл бұрын

yes you can get yellow colour led as well, they look more like halogens

@christosnikolakakis6046 7 жыл бұрын

Putting led bulbs in a halogen projector is a big no no. There is no hotspot when using led bulbs which means that you won't be able to see as far as you would with standard halogen bulbs or HIR ones. Best way to go is with retrofitting true HID projectors. Even the cheapest ones perform better than pnp led or hid bulbs!

@christosnikolakakis6046 7 жыл бұрын

expert20valvehlx The cutoff is indeed nice. You won't blind other people. The problem is the light distribution itself. led bulbs dont have a hotspot. if you don't have a hotspot your distance vision is impaired.

The only problem with this new wave of LED headlights is once that fan goes (and they do) they burn out soon after, you're better off with a set of quality HID's.

@Pr34ch 7 жыл бұрын

true but if you are going to install hid's you are probably gonna need a load balancer and in some country's including mine you are required to install headlamp presure cleaners as well . (so considering all that hassle you moght just be better off installing the leds (less hassle) or stick with hallogen bulbs

Yup, basically 6500k or white lights do not penetrate water and just bounces off the rain or fog, causing poor visibility. I have tried installing LEDs and reverted back to halogens.

Same with HID... I had both and they both suck. They're both bright on a dry night. But if it rains they both suck.

@matttfaragher4949 5 жыл бұрын

these LED lights dazzle oncoming motorists and dazzle motorists from behind in their rear view mirrors. I am a vision specialist and I consider these LED lights to be dangerous. Having dazzled the other motorists it leaves them with a degree of night blindness thereafter. I would rather that these lights be legislated against

@TheOzthewiz 4 жыл бұрын

@matt faragher I couldn't agree more! I think a lot of people just install these LEDs to JUST make their vehicle standout from others. As a senior citizen, I am especially sensitive to the "blue spectrum" light emitted that causes the glare to oncoming drivers.

@TesterOfProducts 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheOzthewiz I put LED's on my cars because I can't see a thing at night with basic Halogen bulbs, granted. I drive vehicles that are older than I am, however. You can always have the bulbs pointed downwards to avoid blinding other drivers

David Hsieh in Australia everybody buys SUVs that are just jacked up hatches and they come with super bright LEDs by default. When people turn high beams on on the country roads it’s incredibly dazzling and honestly scary. I’m surprised I or my friend (who we took turns driving) didn’t have an accident will all these Incredibly bright high beams. IF THERE’s A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY HAVE HIGH BEAMS ON, TURN YOURS OFF. Sometimes even low beams can be somewhat dazzling but nothing compared to the high beams.

question, does the orientation of the led bulb matters on projector housing? I heard on reflector the orientation should be side by side ( 9 to 3 o clock)so that it won't blind other drivers, what about projector?

I drive a bike. I hate LEDs sooooooo much. LEDs create a wide circle of light that hides everything behind the car. In an open road where there could be people walking or animals crossing one could easy get into an accident by not seeing beyond the car. Please don't install LEDs. I know they look cool but they are not cool for safety. I would go as far as saying that these types of lights should be banned. Please, I don't want to die. I know it sounds dramatic, but I have almost gone into the ditch a couple of times because I couldn't see the edge of the road. They act like a fog.
