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.

[@Firefighter_Matt]

After buying Novsight N60's having done a deep dive into provided data sheet you provide for a vehicle with projectors, i went ahead and bought these for vehicle with reflector headlights. They are phoenominal lights and i would recomend. However i am currently waiting on them to get back to me on replacing a bulb for the 2nd time since i've bought these in March. One of the original bulbs did not work whatsoever. Polarity being correct and even using a decoder they recomended. They did send me a new pair and i sent those originally purchased back. They worked perfectly until today when one of the bulbs is no longer working. The lights perform great and your particular situation may differ in what you put them in amongst other things so your results may differ.

[@IamMugs]

Using these on my son's 99 Tahoe and what a difference. They could work on their locking mech a bit but overall very very happy. Thanks again!

[@erichoward5565]

I just put in today after your review, and WOW you are correct. I used these to replace an older LED headlight that I had installed that had started failing and getting dim. Well installing these made everything musch better than when the old LEDs were installed as new. The lights have a slight tinge of yellow, though I think that would be helpful in badweather. Thanks again for your review.

[@wahidjavid51]

The yellowish color tpu see is because of your headlight housing lens/projector. If they are worn down a little it will effect the color of the led bulb.

[@erichoward5565]

@wahidjavid51 Thanks. The color difference was noticed when compared with the previous LED bulb (seemed whiter at 6000k) that was in the same housing. Again, the difference is very minimal, and it is subjective. I have been using now for almost a week and I am very happy with them and would recommend.

[@wahidjavid51]

@erichoward5565 ok i see. I just got mine yesterday and will install them later today. Ive been using auxito bulbs for my whole car inside and out. Lets see how better these are or not.

[@LionRunner]

This reflector light output is very interesting. I'm trying to find a good bulb for my 2021 4Runner TRD Pro for the reflector (with my quad high beam setup). The 2021 4Runner TRD Pro reflector housing seems different from the other trims reflector setup as when I try some LEDs the beam pattern was not good. I know my case is a special case and almost no one would use. I guess I will go through your previous videos and see how the reflector pattern is on different bulbs rather than focusing on the LUX numbers.

[@andromeda770]

As a fellow yota owner I say this. You may have to get these or similar as they allow adjustment. you have to aim the bulb by rotating the bulb BEFOREHAND. pay attention to where original bulb filament aims and copy that to the led bulb housing. Next adjustment required is to the headlight housing, as it now may blind others so adjust properly or have some help. I do this using the method in my car handbook, which is 30 ft away, level ground light should cut off at 3.5 ft.from ground. Trucks are different so just use this as a reference. Need more help, Look up body shops as they have manuals on how to aim housing and y'know, give a few dollars , they may do it for ya. Hope this helps.

[@JohnColeman-ul5rj]

These are in my Truck and my car. They are pretty amazing for the price. They are even brighter than my GTR Ultra II. I have their lightbar that makes night turn into daylight.

[@LiquidXiron]

Love your reviews, thanks.

[@CarLightReviews]

Glad you like them!

[@MoparPentastar]

It would be awesome and tremendously useful if you did a comparison between LED & HID!

[@Phexler]

I'll save you some time: HID used to be better than LED, now it's the other way around (provided you compare high-quality LED bulbs to high-quality HID bulbs and ballasts). HID draws more power, and they are generally more expensive than LEDs. HIDs are better in terms of colour temperature as you have more variety, whereas almost all LEDs are ~6000k.

[@gusalejandro7776]

@@Phexler But witch is more powerful?

[@Phexler]

@@gusalejandro7776 Power is nothing without control, which means that an HID bulb will have a more consistent beam pattern than LED bulbs because LED bulbs are all made a bit differently. Assuming you compared an HID bulb with a 55w ballast to a top-teir LED bulb, in most cases the LED will be brighter, but not always.

[@JeremyLeech]

[@bonusshaker9260]

could you also publish the overall dimensions of the LED light as well as the driver? Some applications there may not be enough room due to headlight design such as on a motorcycle. Great job BTW.

Great review have decided to go with these in my H4 reflectors but as my car also has a H1 high beam reflector do you have any recommendations for that? It doesn't look like you can get the F22 IN H1

[@mikethompson9745]

How do you know if your vehicle is a reflector type? my 97 k1500 should be i suppose

[@CarLightReviews]

Easy! Basically, reflector looks like a chrome bowl with ridges behind the bulb. Projector looks like a magnifying lens in front of the bulb. Watch this video and you will see what the difference is. carlightreviews.com/headlighttestmethod

[@CarLightReviews]

If it looks like it has a magnifying lens in front of the bulb, it is a projector. If it looks like is has curved mirror with ridges behind it, it is a reflector. You can see examples here: carlightreviews.com/headlighttestmethod

[@steviegtv5911]

Hopefully you see this. Is there anyway you can do a review and test on the auxbeam f16 plus? It is a great light. Beam pattern. Light output. Everything is great. The only problem is... READY?! ...I am currently on my 4TH PAIR OF F16 PLUS. Price is great. Quality is great but I can't seem to solve the issue of the f16s burning out over time. I drive a 2017 chevy colorado z71 with projector headlights. My 9006 low beams burn out after about 6-8 months. But the performance of them was so great I kept trying to replace them trying different methods. First 2 pairs... first pair I thought were defective. Replaced them. 2nd pair burnt out. I drew the conclusion too they get to hot with the dust caps. 3rd Pair eventually burnt out. Now my 4th pair is going bad as well. Both 3rd and 4th pairs were run entirely without dust caps. And iv drown the conclusion that the f16 plus just runs too hot for they're own good. So researching new headlights I came across your videos. GREAT REVIEWS and you pay very close attention to details I love it. But I'm trying to draw a comparison in heat management between the f16s and everything else. 😅 im debating on spending the extra money on the GX series. Being that they are most likely BRIGHTER then the f16s. But I'm worried I'm just going to be running into the same issue as the f16s blowing out after 6-8 months. Or maybe even sooner since the gx is even more powerful and brighter. Please respond if you read this and let me know what you recommend. I know I should run around without dustcaps. But so far after 2 yrs I haven't had any issues with dust or water getting in my housings. But please help me find a solution to my issues thank you! 😊

[@CarLightReviews]

The F16 plus is a rather old product, you might want to try something newer which might solve your issue. Sometimes, some vehicles just don't like certain LED upgrades. However, did you reach out to Auxbeam to see about the issue you have? Sounds like every time you are within the warranty period.

[@steviegtv5911]

Sadly I was ordering them through Amazon! So the warranty didn't apply really. The first 2 pairs Amazon luckily replaced for a cheaper price tag. But after the 3rd time it wasn't even worth the tune spent on the phone with them. So I just started paying full price. But I'm definitely considering the gx. Might as well try my luck!

[@michaelbradley770]

​@@steviegtv5911According to auxbeam's FAQ page the warranty still applies regardless if you buy direct off their website or from amazon

Please review Auxbeam new GX Pro series 160W Led.

[@onesikm3]

So what do I have to look for when picking an led bulb for a projector housing as far as the physical design of the led bulb is concerned ?

[@CarLightReviews]

The important part is that the LED emitter replicates the size, shape, and position of the halogen filament as closely as possible. Otherwise, ensure that if you have dust caps that it can fit under them, and if it has an external driver (which is better for heat as well as brightness) that it can also fit under the dust cap.

Im looking to replace the H4 bulbs in my Subaru. Any thoughts on how these would do? The LED's i have in there currently claim to have been 5000 lumens. Unfortunately one of the bulbs went out and they are past the 2 year warranty that they came with. I can get replacements here locally from the same guy for $90, and they are a new style with 6000lumes each. Anyone run these in a vehicle using the H4 bulb style?

[@CarLightReviews]

I haven't done any dual bulb tests at this time. However, I am told that it is not unreasonable to expect similar performance as tested in the H11s that I use.

[@user-qu1vh2ws2f]

The amount of decline in output after 27 minutes shown in your spreadsheet is useful data that I haven't seen in other tests. Have you tested output on any of these LED's beyond that point, as you'd see on a long trip at night? Does it stop declining at some point? Is it a function of the unit getting hotter the longer it runs? Thanks for the work you do.

[@CarLightReviews]

Yes, they almost always stop declining after anywhere from a few minutes to 15-20 minutes, depending on the quality of the light. It is indeed the system regulating the power to mitigate heat. Better quality lights do a better job of that while keeping brightness. Cheap components need to be diimmed a lot more because they cannot handle the heat.
