The longevity means fewer people driving with high beams just because they don't wanna be pulled over for having a headlight out but are too lazy to replace it

[@gregswank4912]

The biggest downside to upgrading incandescent to led headlights (when using the good bulbs) is that they are so much brighter that people think your high-beams are on, and flash you. Just compare the yellow beam at the beginning with the white beam at the end, which is so bright, the camera is clipping. It’s important to have bulbs that produce light from the exact same location so that the parabolic reflector aims that light to the correct place on the road and not blind oncoming traffic. It’s perfectly legal to sell non DOT equipment, but they leave it up to you to honor the fact they are not road legal, and not use them in public roads.

So, for anyone wondering, the stock reflectors are designed for a point light source where the filament would be located using a stock bulb. Even if you took that stock bulb and moved it forward or backward a centimeter or so it would completely change the beam pattern because the light would be reflected at a different angle than it was designed for. Therefore, when you stick a poorly designed LED bulb in there that has light sources spread out all over it, the pattern that gets reflected will be all over the place too. That is why a quality LED replacement bulb has only two small high intensity LED chips placed at a specific point so that it can mimic the filament the reflector was designed for. Most vehicles that come with LED headlights from the factory have a completely different style of reflector from the ones used by filament based bulbs so that it can be tuned to the particular size and shape of the LED chip being used.

- Need a discussion of properly aimed headlights. Most vehicles on the road have improperly aimed headlight assemblies to begin with because vehicle inspections really aren’t a thing in the U.S. anymore. This is so important for LED or halogen. Reflector or projector. 25 feet back on a wall, you want the top of the light bar cutoff a minimum of 2 inches lower than the measurement from the ground to the center of your headlight assembly. I go ~3.5 inches lower, putting the cutoff on the ground out between 3-4 car lengths in front of me. I never get flashed with LED bulbs and would never go back to halogen. - You want the blade of the LED bulb positioned like you’re using a knife in the kitchen. Completely vertical. This is very important for reflector assemblies. Walk around a big parking lot and look at how many people have their LED bulbs horizontally and diagonally positioned in their reflector style assembly. It’s a lot. That scatters the light really weird. Put your LED light on a wall and spin one around in a reflector assembly and you’ll see. It’ll even change the pattern slightly in a projector assembly. - Only buy a blade style and never get LEDs brighter than 6000K for street use. If you ask me 5000K is plenty. - If you’re headlight assembly plastic is yellowed polish it clear or replace. Don’t just purchase super bright LED bulbs to compensate.

Dude, all LED and HID conversion kits are technically illegal. The replacement bulb must be the same type and spec that was installed by the vehicles manufacturer. This is why all reputable LED bulb manufacturers use the disclaimer: " FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY". With that said....There are some better made LED bulbs with a better beam pattern and better cooling but the only type of bulb that belongs in a reflector housing is a conventional halogen. To get the best results from a conversion kit the bulbs should be a 55-65 watt flat stalk design with 1-3 diodes per side with a rotatable collar for adjusting installed in a projector housing. Improperly installed, cheap, over powered, incorrect color temp LEDs are just as bad as the cheap ass HID kits that hit the scene in the early 2000's. All the so called performance shops carried them and installed them and had everybody driving around with blue and purple headlights blinding oncoming traffic until municipalities started cracking down on them and had police issuing equipment violations left and right.

I have trucks following me in thick fog. 1 set of Spots. 1 set of Fogs. Fused link off battery to double set of Radio Frequency Relays. OTR/ TX based Safe travels, Driver

“bUT iTs 10,000 lUmEnS” These are great bulbs. Head one fail and headlight revolution replaced it no questions asked. That was 4yrs ago. Same bulbs are still working great.

[@bradleycole2655]

But toy can see more lol

[@parkervarin]

I'm a delivery driver for Insomnia cookies, so I'm only driving at night. Thank you for informing people. My eyes can only handle so much.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Glad to help, the cookies are delicious! 🔥

[@raymondreiff8170]

I hate when people install the red peice of crap, Because Nobody can see anything including the Driver

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That is exactly correct! The right bulb makes ALL the difference for both the driver and others around them! Thanks for watching 🤝

[@t9056]

Its gotten crazy on the roads these days....it should be the most important thing to test during inspection and they need to rlly enforce with big fines...

[@connorandersen3593]

I bought some h4 from you

[@jasoncurtis1981]

I put up 2 1000 lumen per inch light bar on the back of my truck with a small warning light to backoff or dim your lights before i turn them on.

[@dumplingsoupss]

If you need these to drive at night, stay home. Blinding everyone else

[@HeadlightRevolution]

With the cheap ones, absolutely!

[@masonmiller2697]

Beam patterns should match reflectors in housing. I also live by, Led for reflectors, HID for projectors. Thats not always the case, but I play with the rule not the exception.

[@mattd1188]

China is literally the worlds largest manufacturer of new e-waste.

Wish yellow was legal in PA, would make the sv4 even better

[@robbshisty2889]

Fuck a beam pattern I rather have everything lit up in front of me instead of just a small beam

[@onehundredpicks5531]

I agree! I just want sunlight to light up the road. Screw beam pattern 😂

[@limprooster3253]

​@@onehundredpicks5531And screw anyone coming up the road towards you I guess

[@feero9680]

this explains why so many cheap cars using LEDs are blinding people. those BMW and Mercedes led are not blinding. theyre properly rated

[@K113-A]

People think having more is best. No, being the best is trying to become as precise and accurate as possible

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Exactly!

[@crisbowman]

2 issues with cheap bulbs Their color is not optimal for night vision. If they go too high into the Blue they strain your eyes and you actually see less far which makes manufactures sell them at higher brightness than a regular halogen. The issue you noticed here. People also have a tendancy to put them in old cars with foggy headlight covers, wich does the same thing this video covers.

[@JF94-k4o]

Ive seen a few videos about those LED headlights needing to be scraped off quite often in a colder environment... but the older bulbs produce heat to melt the snow and ice in the winter.. it would be nice to see either way 😅

[@cherrypepsi2815]

It's a non issue. If you're getting enough snow that it covers the headlights, you're brushing and scraping snow off your windshield and windows anyways. It takes 10 extra seconds to scrape the headlights. (Speaking as someone from NE Ohio where we get snow by the foot)

[@JF94-k4o]

@@cherrypepsi2815 happens while driving.. it builds up because there isn't heat from the bulbs keeping it clear..

[@cherrypepsi2815]

@@JF94-k4o I've never had that problem at all and have never seen it happen. Unless you have a really rare icing condition where the snow can stick well, I've never had a buildup on my car. Still, if this actually is a problem in some areas (which I don't doubt), there could be legislation mandating headlight deicers, almost like the traffic light deicers that already exist. That wouldn't be such a bad idea in general, to be honest. I'd definitely pay extra for better deicers and defrosters in cars.

[@tulsaprepperdad6674]

Personally (as an offroad guy) I NEED and love not much of a beam pattern if the light is bright, I have kc lights and led pods for spot lights

[@masterdoge]

I don't want to make the drivers from the opposite road blind so I'll stick to the stock

[@kwynton]

Anyone have suggestions on a more budget friendly option? Sv4 are $286 im looking for something under $100.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

CSP Mini? But won't be as bright - check out the XenonDepot bulbs too!

[@kwynton]

@HeadlightRevolution thank you.

[@kr0nk]

Don't go towards the light. I can't help it it's so beautiful.. 💥

[@zaca211]

Done forget the ones that regulate their brightness using low frequency PWM. I can see the flickering on those and it drives me fucking nuts.

[@__Razer]

PWM flickering headlights are on another fucking level. I get image ghosting sitting in a restaurant with dimmed PWM lights. I can only imagine the headache I'd get with all the movement of driving.

[@grimmington2569]

I love it when people put the most powerful bulbs they can find on the market into their headlights so they can blind everyone in oncoming traffic with their "I'm a big boy, look how special I am, no these aren't highbeams, my highbeams are nuclear fusion reactors" lights.

[@zeropointzero]

Any LED bulb that doesn't accurately mimic the position of a halogen filament should not be put into a halogen housing. 1st generation LEDs are a disaster because of the central heat sink. Copper substrate 1860 chips placed central to the heat sink work best for reflectors and halogen projectors. 3570 chips work best for HID projectors due to the large capsule on HID bulbs. Clocking the LED is also important! I'll never buy a bulb that cannot be rotated in its base. If it's not set vertical in the housing, it can skew the beam or cause the beam pattern to be higher on the side with oncoming traffic.

[@onadifferentwalk7901]

Clearly I'm not the only one noticing that everyone seems to have their brights and fog lights on ALL THE TIME! Suuuuuuper annoying being blinded by my rear view mirror, or my side mirror, or The oncoming traffic. Isn't that a ticket-able offense? To counteract those measures I move my side mirrors. Suddenly they don't like to be behind me or in my blind spot. Works every-time.

[@jacobhostess5018]

Do a test on the road not the wall plz so we can see what it would really be like. Btw awesome videos keep it up♥️💯

[@ashenmoonclash]

If you live in snowy areas and still have halogen lights in designed for them headlights don't get led replacements. Sunk in leds run too cool and just collect snow and ice on the headlight.

[@cherrypepsi2815]

We get snow by the foot where I live and it's a non issue. You're already scraping the snow off your windshield, so it's not a problem to take ten whole seconds to scrape your headlights too.

[@movingtargetproductions5046]

I'm actually glad I now know this, I'm upgrading from OEM incandescents to LED all around ('93 Ford Escort LX on the Wagon chassis) as I have a bit of a hard time seeing with incandescents in smaller cars so I'm trying to find good bulbs for the heads that way I can see for a change (My vision isn't poor btw), I'm looking at cool white (because Daylight is so damn bright) as a good option

[@movingtargetproductions5046]

Figured I'd reply to my own comment over 7 months later. Picked up some Oxilam headlights (2 sided) and the difference is wild. Much brighter and there is a defined beam pattern

[@ninjalol2253]

I prefer the second one, i can see the deer better When you are being blinded you were taught to look at the white line here in America works like a charm

[@hreeson1]

Do note LED are better but they hurt your eyes more against on coming traffic

[@jeepmanxj]

You've still got bleed on the last one but it's pretty good compared to most

[@catbert007]

Should use projectors and scrap the existing reflectors altogether.

[@davidjenkins1568]

Thank you. I just spent $178 on mew housings and junk led's. The light output was so trash i had to immediately put my halogens back in. Imma try these

[@gaijininja]

Driving towards someone with those cheap multi LED units is a nightmare. They can’t see because of the shotgun light effect, so assume their lights are not bright, but to oncoming vehicles, they are intensely bright. The quality ones to oncoming vehicles just look whiter and slightly brighter.

[@rozieb2741]

There is a law that limits the amount of light your headlights can put off. And its in place for a reason.

[@snafusofauq8297]

All these times I thought people's headlights were too bright. Turns out they just had crappy bulbs that have no beam pattern. Thank you for the education!

[@andrewsmith8727]

GOOD TO KNOW. I've been thinking about led bulbs and did not realize multisided bulbs were bad.
