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...

LEDs and HIDs in a reflector housing are simply awful for everyone you can barely see with them as the light bounces and scatters in every direction and it therefore blinds all of traffic. Good quaility aftermarket LEDs and HIDs can be fitted in projector housings with some success just avoid the cheap Chinese junk and opt for Osram or Philips for aftermarket LEDs. My car has projector headlights and it originally came with halogens, the aftermarket Philips LEDs I fitted work perfectly and nobody has ever flashed at me for them.

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!

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.

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.

Anyone can sell you brighter stuff, What you need to know is that when you switch a headlamp to high beam you need brighter light at a distance further away from the car, this helps your eyes focus better ahead at higher speeds.

Main problem with most projectors is they are spot lights with almost no side illumination.

HID conversion kit from halogen in a project style headlight is the best and easiest way to get the best result. But, make sure that you are getting a correct HID bulb for your application. H11 HID bulbs for example aren't made the same. There is H11A and H11B and no one will tell you which one works in your application. There are generally guidelines by make but trial and error something is the only way.

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?

Reflector is much better than projector headlights if you're using a halogen bulb.

You better tell that to automakers - they keep putting the 'better' reflectors on their lowest trims.
@VkRmotorsport6 жыл бұрын
Delta Matt Thats because the halogen doesnt have enough output to require a proyector, so the amount of light gets reduced by the lens. Proyectors were made for HIDs because they are way brighter than halogens and cause glare. Automakers use proyectors with halogens to make you think youre having an upgraded tecnology. Theyre just fine but not necessary

HID IS KING, Vs LEDs ...BUT if you have OEM projectors. I bought a pair of aftermarket Projectors, Headlights for my Malibu. And after putting some HIDs 55w 8k. The whole headlight sealent had melted. And the Plastic was super hot. I took them off and haven't had problem's with my LEDs

If the Mini D2S, Micro D2S, and the MLED are out of the price ranger - the Evo XR projectors or the H1 are a good budget-friendly alternative.

Rolling eyes occur when you see headlight after headlight with different levels of light intensity but all equal to an effect in which it blinds, another example is two headlights in one brand of vehicle and 4 and up to 6 headlights on other brands...

That would depend on what projector you are running, it sounds like that was an aftermarket projector kit that you have installed in that vehicle? Let us know that bulb size and we will totally be able to get a recommendation going for you!
