How to Correctly Upgrade to LED Headlight Bulbs // AutoOne LED Bulbs!

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I have a set of Auxito LED’s in my Ford Crown Vic. They’ve been flawless for over two years and the pattern once adjusted is almost identical to the stock halogen bulbs in the reflector housing. High beams are insanely good on them. Honestly I was and still am blown away by how well they work and how reliable they’ve been.

[@AutoFixYT]

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan Agreed, I have Auxito lights in 2 vehicles and love them!

[@turtleman1947]

I have bought cheap LED lights since 2014 for every vehicle I've ever owned. I have never had any issues ever. Auxito is actually not bad at all. I try and go for Auxito over other weird brands.

[@Mason-fv1zl]

@@turtleman1947 they stand by their stuff, I’ve rarely had any problems and if I did, I sent them back and they would send me new bulbs free of charge. I hav them on family member vehicles, and to this day still held up over the two years that I started using them.

[@TheShalomstead]

You did a great job describing the topic. I’m a Sealight guy myself. After I moved out to the country I was uncomfortable driving at night with the stock headlights on my old ‘14 Expedition. There are no public streetlights within 10 miles of my house and it’s a very hilly and winding highway to get to my private dirt road. I have an astigmatism and it’s hard enough for me to see at night anyway. I bought a set of X4’s because they were the brightest set they offered and are built with a collar that you can adjust to aim the LED’s in the perfect direction regardless of your setup. Once I installed them properly to perfectly replicate the filament of a halogen bulb they were amazing! They had the same exact beam pattern as my stock bulbs and both beams of my H13 bulbs worked great. Just bought another set for my new (to me) Excursion as well as all the bulbs needed for every light on the truck. I even sprung for the extra bright reverse lights because that’s really going to help out when I have to back out of my carport at night. Before I upgraded I was one of those people who would get upset at newer cars and their brighter headlights but after I upgraded I noticed that even the brightest (correctly aimed low beams) didn’t mess with my vision nearly as much. I always recommend people to upgrade to a quality LED bulb. Technically it’s not DOT legal but even the state inspectors where I live don’t care about the bulb type as long as it’s adjusted properly.

[@paulandreichitez5654]

In some countries it is illegal to modify the car headlights … if they come halogen you let them halogen , if they xenon they are required to have washers for headlights and auto level.. for newer cars the led headlights are in segments so they don’t disturb other traffic participants … some of them are not road legal rated … its says in the box. : offroad use only! Before you start modifying your headlights consult your local laws to be safe

[@AutoFixYT]

If anyone watching this video hasn't done so already, adjust your headlights!

[@AutoFixYT]

I've seen so many people driving with them pointing wait too high or even way too low... it's crazy lol

[@farmboy8663]

How do you install on the older car you showed

[@lukeshelly5633]

I want to add something regarding replacing your lenses. If you’re going with a “stock” replacement, don’t buy from off brand on Amazon or EBay. I purchased reflector lenses off of Amazon for my ‘08 Corolla. They were exact replacements, nothing fancy. The beam pattern always seemed off, I blamed it on the LEDs. I decided to purchase OEM lenses from Toyota and it made a huge difference in the beam pattern. The bulbs were aimed a bit high, but I was able to adjust them. If you want to replace your old lenses with the exact same ones, I’d suggest going OEM or with a highly rated aftermarket one if you kind find it

[@AutoFixYT]

Yes a lot of aftermarket headlights have worse beam patterns. But not all! I have used several brands with great success.

[@PlumbCarton5607]

When you're talking about replacing lenses do you mean the entire housing or just the transparent plastic part. Mines has been busted because a family member ran into a truck while on their phone (not too fast just the bumper cover and plastic lenes are busted)

[@ahmedyassir5569]

The entire housing. No one sells the transparent cover alone

[@AndyTheXTech]

Nice job! great explanation. I thought that Ant was on my computer screen. 😂

[@AutoFixYT]

Thanks! Hahahaha the ant

[@denisbruno22]

Very informative video, i didn’t know how the Led side in the bulb needed to sit inside the housing. Thanks man

[@AutoFixYT]

Glad it helped!

[@timmi511]

I’m using LEDs for my high beams from Ali Express which had good reviews. They work amazing!!

[@AutoFixYT]

If it works it works!

[@1marcelfilms]

High beams are easy. No fancy beam cutoff needed.

[@AutoFixYT]

Agreed, but they still need a good beam pattern so they can shine far enough.

[@drrrw]

This video covers 99% of my questions. Thank you! Especially the types of light, and the way led simulates the bulb lights. Would you discuss the types of light connectors for cars, cause there's a ton.

[@AutoFixYT]

When it comes to the buob type, you just have to match what's on the car already.

[@Adrianek81]

I ordered H9 philips led as high beam for my passat 2015,cant wait to see them at night,great video✌️

[@lucaslourenco6045]

That is a great video! Wish all drivers could watch you!

[@AutoFixYT]

Haha thank you!

[@dimitarhristovskii]

What K do you recomend for LED headlights? Something like 6000K more or less? What is the best

[@AutoFixYT]

@dimitarhristovskii 6000k is good, it's a nice plain and bright white temperature. A higher number will result in a more blueish hue, colder. A lower number will be warmer, more yellow.

[@JMarley24]

Great..thanks for the information dude! Quick question,,do you have to change any fuses or something because of probably different power ratings of halogens and led?

[@AutoFixYT]

No need to change any fuses! Just plug them in, make sure the lights are aimed correctly, and off you go!

[@toyotabrony]

I’m so glad there’s still more and more people that knows how led bulb works. Two sided led bulbs with big enough heatsink and cooling fan. A two sided led chips such as CSP,ZES,CSP flip chips, SMD, Osram, LMP, and Cree led chips that’s the same size of the halogen coil filament, with very thin center piece of the led bulbs works a lot better than halogen, and way better than those dreadful. Disgusting, horrible 3-4-5-6 sided or 360 degree cone shape led, square shape with a bubble led, or double stack led will never perform the same as original halogen headlight bulbs. I had an argument with one dude sayin u know nothing about led, yes we do. With lots of research, see them testing, lots of education. We truly do. Thanks to headlight revolution, car light reviews, Sergiu garbor, and bulbfacts. If it wasn’t for them, this would not happen.

[@ChrisN06999]

My dad had the 4 sided led bulbs (h4) as an upgrade from the halogen bulbs he had originally. They sucked. At night, no beam pattern. Poor illumination on the road, basically a driving hazard even when you're few in the highway in the middle of the night. I removed them and placed the original halogens, Osram Bilux, illumination is better but not bright. Hopefully I'll upgrade to Philips h4 or a bi-led projector headlights.

[@toyotabrony]

@@ChrisN06999 Philips are expensive but they are worth it. But why not jump on Lasfit? I recommend Lasfit - LA plus. We have them our Toyota and Scion and I bought more for my friends as well and they love how bright they are, the beam pattern is perfect. And they are reliable: $70 a pair and it’s worth it. Give them a shot before u spend $200

[@PlumbCarton5607]

Nice video. My headlights are dieing out slowly, doesn't help that the lens is busted mostly on the highbeams part. Im thinking about going halogen again since the amount of blinding LEDs in texas is crazy, every other car has two suns as their lights it seems...went 2 wheeling once because of their lights (hope you understand the slight saltines😅). But i may reconsider LED. Projectors seem really cool though with halogens (i like the color). Definitely gonna replace my moms headlights with non glarely ones, she bought it with the crappy unaligned, glarely, probably cheap Amazon ones the previous owner installed.

[@AutoFixYT]

Oooh yes, trucks will blind cars no matter the bulbs honestly because they're higher up. When I drive my Corolla, every single car on the road blinds me because it's lowered lol. But having the proper bulb, installed correctly, and headlights aimed properly, makes the car go from having 2 suns to 2 bright headlights. Also, keep in mind that if you have dimmer lights on your own car, your eyes are adjusted for that (darker) and when someone with brighter lights comes by, your eyes will be more sensitive to those than if you had brighter lights to begin with. This doesn't present itself that much but it's a factor to consider.

[@toyotabrony]

Those little ones are rebrands as Auxito. CLR tested those called Auxito - 10S. They produce 16.5W per bulb after the observation. And they get warm up to 141 degrees Fahrenheit. Which is very good. The lower the temperature, the better the lifespan is. The higher the wattage and temperature, the shorter the lifespan is.

[@AutoFixYT]

I will look into that, thank you!

[@angelbarajas4564]

Great explanation brother

[@AutoFixYT]

Thank you!

[@LuwiigiMaster]

I appreciate this video, hardly anyone tells you how the bulbs are supposed to be oriented. They must be perfectly vertical. I assumed it differed on a model by model basis, but that's good to know, thank you. 5:11 I see a little plastic doodad under the Corolla's left headlight, what is that? I assume it's a spacer to help hold it up?

[@AutoFixYT]

Ah, yes. That's the Camry, and that plastic piece was there for years because the headlight pivot point was broken and it would fall down. So that piece held it at the perfect height hahaha

[@LuwiigiMaster]

@@AutoFixYT ah, a camry with a broken headlight pivot point. Sounds like mine, assuming the piece looks like a plastic piece with a hole to accommodate a metal knuckle. At least I know the name for it now!

[@AutoFixYT]

@LuwiigiMaster yes haha that's it! I ended up replacing the headlights on thay car but that's pretty much the only way to fix it, is to replace the headlights.

[@LuwiigiMaster]

@@AutoFixYT a headlight kit comes with the required piece? Interesting, good to know!

[@ArmadusMalaysia]

Time to change my bulbs. They were halogen but it lasted for only a year. I'm thinking of getting LED but I remember on highways, the further you are from the car that's behind you. The sharper his white LED lights are. Do you think that the problem is solved by following your tutorial?

[@AutoFixYT]

That shouldn't be a problem if they're installed properly. If you get good bulbs and have a good clean lens, and you adjust them right, they will work very well.

[@harryjohnson7714]

also, if possible, see if your budget allows for auto adjusting Xenon’s. In my opinion they’re better than LED’s and Halogens. They’re as bright as LED’s, if not brighter. But can move around on their own to adjust for vehicle height and body roll.

[@AutoFixYT]

That's something that would work great on a vehicle that tows often, but even so in most cases it's hard if not impossible to add that feature if the vehicle doesn't already have it.

[@harryjohnson7714]

@@AutoFixYT I forget the brand i’ll have to look it up again, but there was one out there that made a universal kit that had a gyroscope type of thing in this little computer that would auto adjust the lights, only issue was that it costs almost 2k

[@backlineguy]

I can appreciate your view on 'blinding' on-coming drivers...but realistically, 99% of drivers who buy LED's to replace the Halogen headlamps in their car, DON'T CARE if they blind other drivers...they only care how the LED's look in THEIR car... I'll try these LED's in my 2010 Lexus RX 350 ( projector lenses), but my experience has been that the Halogens are easier to aim, and throw more light further down the road than LED's...the LED's are just more diffused and do not lend themselves to being focussed...good video.

[@AutoFixYT]

Usually bad quality LEDs will do that. I have put good quality LEDs on every type of headlight there is and have had much improved results over halogen. I've also worked with cheap crappy LED bulbs and that's exactly what they do. Diffuse a bunch of light in all directions with no focal point in the center.

[@arhumtariq9455]

So all reflecter car are gonna be the same on all cars and the led should be upright and of good quality?

[@rodeoman2751]

So you CAN in fact replace a Halogen bulb with an LED bulb in reflector headlamps? As long as the LED is positioned correctly (standing upright) ?

[@AutoFixYT]

Yes, exactly. You also need to make sure it's a well made LED not a cheap one that will not reflect light properly.

@@rodeoman2751.... Not to take away from this video, at all... but do yourself a big favor, and Look up "Headlight Revolution" youtube channel... he does a Fantastic video showing and explaining all the nuances of different LED headlights.... which type "work" and which types Do Not... and WHY, they work (proper beam without blinding oncoming traffic), or Not. I believe that particular video was called "The Truth about LED bulbs - Don't Buy LED Headlight Bulbs Before Watching This!"..... and you WILL understand why, after watching it. He is Very detailed in his explanations, yet Very Easy to understand.... he obviously Really Knows and Understands, Automotive LED's and Everything associated with them, such as cooling, wiring, etc,etc,etc.... and he should, he's spent the last 15+ years researching, trying all different types of LED Automotive lighting. He even has a thick, detailed Catalogue out now, that many auto-parts stores use as a quick reference guide to help identify the correct type to use on different, specific vehicles, complete with actual night time photographs of different LED types and the actual Beam that they project, in different housings. You Will learn a Lot, just from watching that one video (out of Many, that he has, regarding Automotive LED's)... I guarantee it.

[@UCMF4SIJqf75d5wWKVzbTtDg]

Very well expalined the reflector part (i am foreigner and understood that part well) however can you explain little more about projector? 🤔 Do they need special bulb? Because I learned from this video I habe projector on my e92 (that explains why I have combined for road lights and normal lights) but they light very slow and maybe I have incorrect bulb 🧐

[@AutoFixYT]

You don't need a special bulb but a very bright bulb helps when it comes to projectors. If it's LED or not, the brighter the better. If you have halogen bulbs, consider upgrading to LEDs for more light output. If you have xenon bulbs and they aren't shining well, replace them with good xenon bulbs.

[@UCMF4SIJqf75d5wWKVzbTtDg]

@@AutoFixYT honestly I do not know yet what I have because it is car from second hand.

Not sure how that happened, I've been running Auxito for years now in multiple cars, never replaced a single bulb. Maybe you got a bad batch? Regardless, nothing wrong with switching brands, it's all personal preference!
