Ok so i wanted to add one more thing to this review that in comparison to n60 the fan speed is very less. I hope that is something novsight should take notice of in their new models as the better fan speed the cooler the light will be and hence better light performance. N70 already has smaller heat sink as compared to n60. Now a slower fan combined with this small heat sink is something to worry about for me as we all know it will definitely affect the light performance in the longer run.

[@haseebakbar914]

Due to the length increase of n70 in comparison to the n60 the light scatters in reflector headlights alot. N60 performs better than n70 as n60 has better placement of led (closer to stock halogen filament) specifically in reflector headlights.

Hey, man. I love your reviews. There’s a few high-end premium LED headlight bulbs that I’d like to see you test sometime. 3 that come to mind are the Auxbeam GX Ultra Series, X77 Apollo Plus Series and the DDM Tuning Saber Pro 75W Series.

[@LionRunner]

I really wish is PWM DRL functionality could be tested. Many LEDs I've tried on my Toyotas, only Xenon LED Pro had zero flickering in DRL mode.

[@DiamondVisionLED]

The issue is that DRL PWM uses 6 volts, and most new brighter LEDs headlights need at least 9v to work (12-14v normal). Some lower powered LEDs headlights (35-40W) may be able to work with 6v PWM.

[@LionRunner]

@@DiamondVisionLED I thought pre-2020 4Runners use parallel 12V PWM (each bulb getting 12v in pulse, the reason for LEDs to flicker) vs 2020+ use constant 12V with bulb in series where each bulb get constant 6V (no pulsing). I could be wrong.

[@DiamondVisionLED]

@@LionRunner That is possible, I'm not sure how the 4Runner is doing it's DRL. One of our vehicles is a 2005 Camry XLE and the high beams are also used as DRL. About 6 years ago I had a LED bulb made that was specifically able to work down to 6v and with a Canbus Decoder connected, there was no flickering. The Camry still uses that bulb is the High/DRL. One thing is that you really don't want a DRL bulb to have a fan, as it PWM can cause it to go bad, so it needs to be fanless.

[@LightSaber12345]

Finally. Greatly anticipated video. Thank you!

[@Jack-pt3yh]

Genuine question, which color temperature do you prefer out of these LEDs? I have morimoto leds that aren’t anywhere as bright as these ones but the color temperature is the closest to OEM led headlights that I’ve seen in person, any recommendations out of these that the color temperature really stands out to be the most optimal?

[@ChrisSturgess-u9c]

Excellent video. Are these any good for a ford ranger pickup truck with halogen projector dipped/ low beam or is there another i should consider? Thanks

And high quality LED bulb would would with Projectors (or reflectors). You just want to make sure the LED chips are facing the sides at the 3 and 9 o'clock position, and with the power cable at the bottom 6 o'clock position.

@@mikeflagger7723no. The relay has to be “on” and that happens when the headlights are turned on from the end the harness connects to the bulbs. It was mostly used in HID due to their initial high voltage draw, haven’t seen it on LEDs until now.

[@Waskapmutni]

I'm looking for a LED-bulb which has a heatsink no larger than a halogen bulb - like at all. Why? I want to fit the highbeams of my 2007 Saab 9-5 with LEDs, but the hole in the housing is oval(!), meaning the bulb goes in, but can't be twisted to sit as it should with the chips side to side. Tested three different bulbs - on two the heatsink was too big to twist and on one that would probably fit, the fan assembly was too big to allow it to fit in the housing.

[@CarLightReviews]

Have a look at this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maLKk4GubMt1iNUsi=dPwbjZRP1eQrm4k3

[@Waskapmutni]

@@CarLightReviews thanks for the suggestion, but the heatsink/led chip part (the top part) looks bigger than the glass filament. What I and other Saab-owners would love is - if it's not too much trouble and time-consuming, if you could measure the bulbs you've tested, or test in the future with a measuring caliper, the top part, and add it to your spreadsheet. I know Saab is a brand that went out of business 13 years ago, but there are quite a few of us left Saab-owners left, both enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts, and if you'd find it worth the trouble, I would definitely spread this information both to Saab groups in Sweden (for example, Saab turbo club of Sweden on Facebook alone has 46,9k members) as I've seen others ask this question, and find some international groups too that would find this information useful. That said, I understand if you won't do this with led-lighta already tested as your list of them is quite long.

[@CarLightReviews]

@@Waskapmutni Are you saying you need to know the total length of the emitter portion, basically from the mounting tab to the tip of the unit?

[@Waskapmutni]

@@CarLightReviews no, the *width* of the emitter portion is needed. The holes in the housing where the bulb/emitter portion is inserted are oval, so you can get any bulb in, but you can't twist it to get it properly aligned because of the oval hole and the width of the emitter portion being greater than that of a halogen bulb. Tried "Ledson xtreme focus 2" but that wouldn't fit in the housing because of the cooling-part. Tried two others, one being Philips Ultinon Access, but the emitter portion was too wide.

[@Waskapmutni]

@@CarLightReviews tried to share Dropbox links to images but links not allowed I guess. Measured width of glass part on a H7 halogen is 10.7 millimeters (~0.421 inches) vs 14.02 millimeters (~0.552 inches) on the light emitting part of a led bulb I have on hand. Don't know how much bigger than that it can be and not sure how to measure it as I can't get the measuring caliper inside the housing to measure the hole.

Okay some of these lights are getting a little crazy with the light output.

Pretty soon we'll be seeing aircraft landing headlights on vehicles... LOL

[@DiamondVisionLED]

The main issue (brick wall) is that bulbs that use a lot of wattage can only do that at start up and then has to lower down, as if it stayed at 120W+ the heat on the bulb would be too much, causing it not to last long. That is why most bulbs will level off under 100W or lower to keep the bulb temp down.
