I think something worth mentioning is that most aftermarket LED bulbs don't work because the lights are usually not designed for them. Reflectora for example expect a continuous amount of light from all directions to work properly. LEDs don't work like that (some attempt to simulate this though) so if your wondering why your "upgraded" LED bulbs suck, it's probably because your headlights weren't designed for them...but it's ok, just install some more harbor freight light bars and you'll be fine

Agree entirely.. Plus... LEDS and HID conversions fitted to a reflector that was not designed for them will completely blind other drivers as they will have no directional control... Publications in Australia that advertise these products put a VERY small disclaimer citing " These globes are for off road only"

If you can find aftermarket DOT projector headlight assemblies to replace your reflector type, I highly recommend it. This is the only way I’d ever use even quality LED’s. With a properly designed LED( two sides, thin, and placed in same position as the halogen filament) a reflector type still tends to have too much “spill” or glare for oncoming traffic. As a side note projectors have an internal mask that block light above a certain point. This helps immensely in fog!

Once I got my FR-S with factory projector headlights after years of driving older cars with awful dim reflector housings, I told myself I'm done living that crappy headlight life. I got the Diode Dynamics 35W HID conversion kit for the low beams and I could not be happier with the superior light output compared to stock. Then, after driving my dad's Genesis with factory LED highs, I decided I need that, too, so I ordered some GTR lighting LEDs from you guys. Can't wait to get them and try them out.

Not only are they a brighter but they are also much more freindly to oncoming cars that have the see your headlights. I could literally stare directly at the headlights on my car for a prolonged time and not be blinded much. The worst phase for headlights was when there were cars released from the factory with reflector Xenon lights that blinded everyone and gave HIDs/Xenons a bad name that still exists to this day.

As a tech for 12 yrs, I've found most HID kits don't last more than 2-3yrs. I've found LEDs far better, longer lasting, and generally brighter. Now with LEDs that can be adjusted to sit properly in the housings, they are even better. (When properly installed.) Also, the cops are cracking down on HIDs installed in factory halogen housings, which are rarely designed for the hid bulbs. I typically stear everyone away from HID, and towards LEDs when they're upgrading thier lights. But, i did learn alot from this vid.. thanks!

I read the regs regarding the “brightness” tolerances for your headlights. Your low beams need to operate below 3000 candelas, and high beams below 7000 candelas. Those numbers depend on your headlight housings. Basically, the wider angles your headlights are, the brighter the light you can pack. A 1700 lumen lightbulb can have a 135 cd rating, but the same light bulb in a narrower 20 degree beam can have a 18,000 cd rating.

It usually tells you wether its a projector headlight or a reflector headlight. If you want advice on picking a quality headlight assembly, then the best thing to look out for would be generally good reviews, name brands, and if you can a video or review of the product showing you how it works. Besides this, make sure you have a good light bulb because if you have a weak one, then you wont be able to see the full potential of the assembly so if you're looking to replace your stock headlight assembly, then you might want to consider switching out the bulbs as well.

Main problem with most projectors is they are spot lights with almost no side illumination. Most of the newer vehicles with adaptive lighting run fogs to make up for the deficiency, that being said the morimoto projectors have a much better spread than oem projectors but at the cost of some of the hotspot in the middle.

I have a mercedes c class 2010 and i have a headlight unit that has like that dodge you showed in the video... one side for the low beam is a projector(at least it looks like that) and the other one for the hight beam reflective. So my question is now if i want to upgrade to lets say LED bulbs, do i need to buy 4 LED bulbs and install them 2 in each headlight unit. Or i can just upgrade the low beam to LED which is used more. Would that make any problems with one being LED and other a halogen.
@HeadlightRevolution

Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Good question. For your low beam projectors, go with an HID kit and not an LED as LEDs do not perform very good in a projector. For your reflective high beam, go with LED as they perform the best there and have no warm-up time. :) You would need to buy two kits: One 55w Single Beam HID kit, and a high beam LED kit. :)

Headlight Revolution Hi, thanks for your reply. Do you recommend any HID kit i could use? i've looked at some but they all seem to be very bright and don't actually look that good when they are installed, you can clearly see that its an aftermarket thing. I on the other hand am looking for my headlights to be not very eye catchy and to look like they are original. I just want to upgrade cause my halogens aren't really the best to light the road at night.

My 09 projector HIDs suck. I've replaced them per the dealer, but still suck. Is there a better option with LEDs?

Yes, the standards of lights today, seam to be more concerned with style and aerodynamics, than lighting up what you need on the road in front of you and a corner you are entering. The price of the car has little to do, that really makes no sense. I’ve been very critical of the headlights I use. I drove tractor trailers all my life, both local an regional, with a lot of night driving. Back in the late 70’s the Europeans had the best sealed beam type, or separate bulb/ housing setup, one company in particular, a French Company, I believe was spelled Cibie, that’s still available an great for older deals beam replacement in all 5-3/4” to 7”, plus rectangular in both sizes. That was the 7’, I used in my motorcycle and Mack Tractor I drove over 200,000 miles in three years! That were the best at the time and legal. Today I own a 2019 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab, 4x4, V6,,WT, that unfortunately comes with the reflector type, that are not that good as far as low beams go. But finally the same company he used above, MORIMOTO, had developed an LED, that you are able to adjust how it sits in the mount, so as to not scatter the light to blind oncoming drivers. That I can honestly tell you, the difference is night and day, pardon the expression, different than even the Sylvania Silver Star Ultra I had in the low beams and the ones I still have in the high beams actually look yellow now,, so I will need to get some MORIMOTO for my high beams, to get the most I’m able to.

This is a little confusing. Chris said in another comment that LED is not legal for street use. So upgrading from halogen to LED for a reflector housing is obviously not recommended. Does it help to stay off the radar because you actually adjusted the focus to the correct height?

@@wulimu I still greatly appreciate the increase in illumination across two lanes in front of me with the led low beam replacement and especially the high beam replacement. I really could care less, especially seeing as how I went through great efforts to be sure I won’t blind oncoming drivers, in anything street legal, that’s normally has more hight than a go cart. I’ve even driven up on my truck in a BMW Z3, that’s fairly low and I can honestly say I was not blinded by glare. Most importantly is the vast improvement I have SEEING at night with the LED’s.

I recently replaced headlight housings on a 2016 Honda Civic. The replacement housings included a projector low beam just like the original housing. The replacement fit perfectly but when we drove the car we noticed the top of the low beam was noticeably clipped. Investigating the new housing you can see a fixed shield / shutter that is responsible for clipping the beam. Is it possible that the original factory projector housing didn't use any type of shutter, or did we just not notice it before?

Hello, I appreciate the video and I know this is an older one but i was thinking of replacing my 95 ford explorers head light lens. I also wanted to keep it looking original. So i was wondering, what are the headlights from 90s vehicles called. because they had the cuts in the plastic lens like the old glass sealed ones but theyre made of plastic. are those considered reflective, or sealed? and should go for the clear reflective replacement that came out in the 2000s or should i just get a new original one that has all the cuts in the plastic lens itself?

I would just go with HIDs. I have a 4runner with projector lens and it came with Halogen bulbs. The main problem I had with LEDs was that it does not fit correctly in a projector which is hard to adjust the lighting in that as well. while HIDs were built to be fit in projectors, it’s just better to stick with HIDS.

I own a 2012 GMC Terrain and a 2015 Subaru Outback. Both vehicles have projector beam style lights. My problem is due to my age and cataracts I need more light at night. I have been exploring options. One is replacing the standard halogen beams with the allegedly brighter replacement from Philips or Sylvania. My other idea was to have some type of light bar installed on the front of the vehicles. I asked about Leds, but was told that the projector housing would not allow all the light produced to be allowed out of the housing. Any suggestions?

The BEST option would be to retrofit your current housings with HID projectors and install an HID kit. However, that takes a lot of time and a fair amount of money. Your better option is to install a set of Sylvania Silverstars and call it a day. They're noticeably brighter/whiter and aren't nearly as expensive as an HID retrofit.

So we learn, halogen is old school as it can be, reflectors are clearer/wider visibility, Hid the best way to go because technology has been mastered and Led is the new cool source and its slowly getting there def an upgrade from reflectors but technology isnt there yet to compete with HID.

Halogen is indeed old school, but it's just a light source, like hid or led. The reflector or projector is imo the important part. True led lighting is on another level, not needing reflectors or projectors, but several leds on each side of the vehicle. They may each be in separate tiny projectors to focus output, but that's conjecture on my part.
