Aim your headlights AT LEAST once a year and ALWAYS after replacing the bulbs.
If the cutoff is bad or you can’t aim them accurately or the light output scatters, it is NOT safe to use. Try a different style of LED or one with a lower output that will be more compatible with your light housing. See my other videos for more reviews.

We had one fail after around 6 months but I plan on buying them again. The light output is a game changer for my wife since she has poor vision in the dark and leaves for work early in the mornings.

[@Mr.Worf63]

Great review ! Tempted to purchase but I already changed out the Y13’s for the GTR Lighting Ultra 2’s ( H11 ). Your testing helped me choose these. Bright but not blinding . Thank You !!

[@Darktron]

Yesss been waiting for this thanks you so much!

[@CarLightReviews]

You're welcome!

[@myshooter44]

Just purchased a set of the Y19’s from auxito and installed in my ram with projector style headlights and was disappointed to say the least when they came in and the base ring is NOT adjustable. The screw in it only holds the ring to the light bulb in 1 location. I have the Y13’s too and I compared the rings to make sure I wasn’t missing anything and yea it was not adjustable. It mounts in the headlight housing at 12&6 o’clock instead of 3&9 o’clock like you are supposed to install LEDs, so big disappointment there. Installed them in my high beam spot and they are super bright tho, so I guess it all worked out. Thanks for the great comparison video btw!

[@corbinthepieguy0249]

[@TLOverlander]

I like your reviews....Auxito sent me a pair of these to test. What Id love to see on your channel is off-center lux measuements in your reviews. Basically, comparing hotspots from stock to the leds. I worry that some try to 'cheat' the output intensity by hotspotting their bulbs. Thanks for the review!

[@toyotabrony]

That’s not bad for the Y19. Very slim, very simple, very sharp, and great light output for the led bulb. All that for that price, that’s a sweet deal.

[@acwarzonehighlights6954]

Your the only person that names the vids correctly, other people put auxito h7 on their titles but don’t put which type ,

Thanks for another great review - and especially for stating the dimensions of the fan for fitting under dustcaps. Alas, i had bad experiences with Auxito and my very first LEDs (fanless GF Series H7 LED bulb). Really poor performance in a projector housing, dimmer than stock halogen. To be fair, that was before i knew your channel, i know better now and moved on to Novsight green. ;)

[@Undisputed_King]

Nice review. Can't wait for the diamond vision f9 review.

[@DiamondVisionLED]

Our F9 headlights have low stock since they keep selling out, so we have a large shipment coming to be sent to Amazon. Once all the sizes are back in stock, his video review will be posted, but the F9 will be much brighter.

[@Undisputed_King]

@@DiamondVisionLED how many hours do your ones last? Thinking of buying a spare pair for when these hikari titanova bulbs go out.

[@crs1474]

About lights nearing or exceeding the “30,000 lumen realm: The problem with light this bright is that in some applications it creates a noticeable hotspot that “washes out” the areas lit outside of this hotspot. I have learned there is such a thing as too much light on the road.

[@Potdragon]

I started with Auxito too back about 4years ago or so. I got them when the M3 version. That was my first set and I still have them and they’ve made several trips to Louisiana from Maine and are reliable beyond belief. I have the Q16 H11 in my wife’s car that I just switched out of mine for the new Hikari Titanova set and had the Fahren Termitor 30,000 lumen but found the Hikari to be brighter imo but I’m interested in your tests once you test that new all in one Fahren Termitor 30k lumen model for your reviews and post a spreadsheet etc. love the spreadsheets btw. Keep up the great reviews, I just wish I’d have found your channel sooner because I’d have bought Hikari or Diamond Vision first lol. I also ABSOLUTELY LOVE that you let the data speak for itself, because data doesn’t lie, but my phone and where I am in the world, what moon I had, etc etc etc all goes into account on how the lights look if not done under the exact same conditions every time like you do. I appreciate your time and effort into these videos. thanks

[@jonmanilenio]

So wait, the m3 is reliable & you're still using them, but you switched out the q16 for the hikari?

[@Potdragon]

@@jonmanileniothe M3 started in my dodge charger and I sold it a couple years ago and put them into my wife’s Camry and she ran them until I changed them a couple weeks ago. I found the Hikari and am glad I tried them, I bought Fahren Termitor earlier this year and thought they were amazing until I decided to try Hikari and they are way brighter than anything I’ve ever had. If these Hikari do decent on my trip I’ll probably buy another set or try the F9 Diamond that he put in another video as well or even the Novsight that he did the review on yesterday. I’m just wondering about heat over a very long extended period of time driving compared to the Auxito brand or Hikari brand.

[@Psyphoid]

love the work you're doing. If I may suggest, I would appreciate if you take note of the CSP chip in your videos. I have noticed that most use the 3570 csp led chip, but now some of the more powerful headlights are using the 4575 CSP chip. I would love to see if this is lies? marketing hype? or actually a better LED chip. Any advice or help is much appreciated.

[@CarLightReviews]

Thanks for the tip! If they offer the specifications to that point, I will definitely start including them. Thanks again!

[@SimarBhamra]

After watching this video, I got myself Y19 and I am impressed by the light out. Thanks for this video I do want an opinion, my car uses the bulb for DRL as well, so technically these bulbs are running all day and night drives. How much light would be retained by the end of the day or does these light retain a constant output after a certain amount of time?

[@Cele303]

I have H11 low + HB3 high beam bulbs in my Mazda 3, upgraded to y19 one week ago and they are amazing for the price, paid 78€ for 4 bulbs, build quality is great, light color is maybe too much bluish for me, but beautifully controlled output on the road, super silent fan, no problems at all, thank you car light reviews, i made my choice after your review!

Hi mate. Great video, I got the Y13 and still loving it. I now have a 2nd car and the factory D3S bulb performs very poorly. Would be awesome if you dive into to factory HID upgrades. Keep it up 👍

[@toyotahilux8728]

Hello i always watch your videos great review by the way which LED Light do you recommend for my 2020 ford ranger xlt 2.2 manual i want brighter low and high beam. Thnx

[@CarLightReviews]

Unfortunately, I can't suggest a recommendation for specific vehicles as I can't test them all, I am sorry to say. That's why I can offer a baseline reference. However, I do suggest that you watch this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j37bfZuHqdx1bas as well as review my headlight data spreadsheet here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and use that data to guide your decision. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your needs!

[@jasonfleming2086]

Hello. Awesome channel. Maybe a dumb question but what’s the difference in the built in or wired driver?

[@CarLightReviews]

Not a dumb question but a common one. The driver regulates the power output by the vehicle to the LED emitter. As such, it can get warm as it works. LED manufacturers design the lights to have the driver as external (more materials = more expensive) or internal ("all-in-one" design, and less materials = cheaper). The tradeoff is that heat reduces LED output and can potentially also reduce longevity. As a result, an internal driver LED headlight is typically not as bright and may not last as long due to the contained heat compared to one with an external driver.

[@ngkm2]

Great video, and I purchased my first this Leds Y19. Are you still suppose to put the dust boot/cover over the LEDs ? Wouldn’t this cause the fan just circulate the hot air inside the headlight housing instead of cooling it without the dust cover? What’s your recommendation?

[@CarLightReviews]

Common question, and a good one. Lots of vehicles have dust covers now, and make no mistake, it is NOT a good idea to go without them (just in case someone told you it was OK). But here's something for you to think about... Check out this video: kzbin.infoH8VP762ApdA See how hot a halogen light gets? Yikes! MUCH hotter than the main unit and the driver of any LED replacement...put together. Ask yourself where the heat from your halogen light goes? 😁 You should absolutely keep the dust cover on. It prevents junk from getting inside the headlight capsule.

[@martylawrence7942]

I'm learning a lot from your videos, and I'm considering installing LEDs on my '07 Mustang GT. I had a set of LED lights in my '98 Cobra but I didn't like the pattern. I'm learning now it's either because I bought crap, or I didn't have them indexed correctly. When buying any light, how can you tell if the bulb should be mounted vertically or horizontally? I'm told by some to install vertically so the beams are pointed up and down. Others say the beams need to be side to side. BTW, both cars have reflector housings. Maybe something of interest in upcoming videos?

[@acwarzonehighlights6954]

Side to side or 3 and 9 position why would you face them vertically 😂

[@CSQUAR3DsBaCk]

Do you test these bulbs with or without dust caps?

[@nguyenthien1618]

Hi, can you suggest some 3000K bulb for fog light?

[@RH-nc8uu]

A nice test would be the 2023 Farhen Termitor. Have you found any good lower Kelvin led? The 6000 to 6500 low cri is not as good to differentiate as a nice 4500-5500 high cri would be. Alsp have you thought about testing yellow (3000k) fog lights?

[@CarLightReviews]

Here is the Termitor 2023 review and lux test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH2tlIhondyDsJo

[@kevindaniel1076]

What LED bulb is good for Duel Projector beam. I have a Vland aftermarket projector (not oem) and Low beam LED is pretty good but high beam sucks. Against a wall in high beam mode, the light is strong where the low beam projector cut off would be however anything above the cut off quickly falls off to roughly 50 percent of the light is protected in the high beam area. Real life application confirms terrible high beam mode. HID bulbs is better and fills all areas but I really don't like HID bulbs anymore.

A little disappointed I picked them over the Fahren Termitor. Don't get me wrong these have been working solid no issues at all simple install and good brightness for me. The Termitor would've definitely been overkill in my car 😅. I also prefer the color on the Auxito compared to Fahren.

[@Undisputed_King]

There's no such thing as overkill. The brighter the better

Some housings are designed based on a certain amount of light being captured and focused. Exceeding that amount may scatter it, making it more dangerous and less useful.
