I bought the cougars for my 17 Nissan Rogue. They are quite a bit brighter than the OEMs. They fit perfectly and I have had them for a little over a year now.

I confess I don't know much about led lights, but they are WAY BRIGHTER, than the phillips extra visions I had in. One of those blew out in less then a year and the LEDs I got have a 2 year to warranty. The white color looks so much better to me than the halogens did. I haven't had anyone flashing me yet, been about a month, so I assume the glare isn't an issue.

Hey welcome to reality, LEDs actually run at a much lower wattage normally (we have only seen one product match the amperage of a halogen). They also normally contain a fan which keeps the temperature down. They all run much cooler over halogen (typically 90-100F vs. 160F+ for halogen). Hope that helps!

Hi Scott! Assuming you have reflectors, I can tell you the best kit currently for H7 is the DeAutoKey LED kit. It is truly amazing, and what I personally run in my Jetta. Be sure to use coupon FACT10 for 10% off with them, here's a link: link.bulbfacts.com/deautoled-ledkits . I will be doing a video on the kit soon. It is the best for low beams by far, but high beams I am still testing some new kits out so just be sure to check back on our website for the best high-beam kits. I would recommend the Katana for highs, but they are out of stock on the H7 right now. If you have projectors check this page: bulbfacts.com/hid-oe/chart/ . I hope that helps!

Upon your review of the Hikari Ultra H4 LED, I went ahead and took the leap on my first pair of LED bulbs. I installed one of the bulbs on my CBR250R motorcycle and boy I’m astonished. The low beam cut off is pretty sharp, close to the stock 60/55w Halogen I was running in it before. The beam pattern is as stock as it could get and I had my friend ride my motorcycle to see if it glares, and it does not! I wish both the low and high beam emitters could function(only high or low can function at one point) Also, the bulb is rated to draw 26w, but provides fantastic illumination. Thank you Bulb Facts team, glad your reviews are unbiased and legit.

Hi Old Timer! We noticed during our testing that some LED kits have a yellowing to parts of the beam. It appears to be coming from the yellow LED itself. Kits that have quality LEDs like Philips don't seem to suffer from this. We tested one of the Lasfit kits and they didn't perform well, towards the bottom of our chart. Check out some other brands for better performance, and look for 3 or 4 small LEDs in a row on each side, instead of just one, as that mimics the halogen filament. Thanks!

The thing with lasfit is which series you get, the L1 and LC6 are the cheapest and will give you a little better than halogens. The LA series would be the lowest end I would go, much better light out put with good beam pattern, the chips are placed correctly to mimic the filament placement. The top end LS series use the lumileds Zes chips and work great, near perfect beam and great down road light with a great hotspot. One size I had a hard time finding a correct replacement for was a 880 for my fogs, the chip need to run left to right with them facing up and down, only found two manufactures that make them correctly and that is morimoto 2 stroke 2.0 and eisenke, so if you need that size then they are it.

Hi Brandon! The consensus with bad driving conditions like rain seems to be that a lower kelvin temperature is better (4300k for example) as it cuts through fog and air moisture more. It is a trade-off when upgrading to LED kits as the kelvin is typically higher. I hope that answers your question and thank you for watching!

I just installed the “Lasfit “ in my 15 Silverado. I will be testing them tonight BUT, there is a cover that fits over the lamp housing that is not able to be put back on because of the depth of the led. And being fan cooled, if it were to fit, there would be no air space for circulation. Just an FYI.
@BulbFacts6 жыл бұрын
Hi Gary! You may want to look into an aftermarket dust boot cover for your truck. I would recommend keeping the cover on in order to keep debris, moisture, etc. out of your headlight. The LEDs with a fan actually don't get too hot (around 90F), much less than a halogen in fact, so the fan is really just cooling the LEDs themselves, so even in an enclosed housing you don't have to worry. If you run a fan-less LED type you'll want to be careful as we tested those to get up to 160F+. Thanks!

HI Derek! Because of the higher kelvin temperature, they won't perform as well in bad weather. There is a kit however that we recently tested call DWVO (amzn.to/2vGDjrs) which can switch between white and yellow, and that would be recommended in snow, rain, etc, especially for fog lights. Keep in mind though that if you have a good beam, it will perform much better than a bad beam LED where you will get a lot of scatter, like turning on your high-beams in snow.

@BulbFacts2 жыл бұрын
The fan is to keep the diodes (LEDs themselves) as cool as possible for optimal cooling. It depends on the brand, but what we have seen from lifespan testing is when the fan stops working, the diodes go into a low output mode (but still work). The output is just reduced to some degree.

Hey jonnny148. That's a great question, but the LED bulbs run much cooler than halogen. The fans are to simply keep the LEDs themselves (diodes) as cool as possible to maintain maximum brightness, as LEDs dim as they warm up. The fan does a great job lowering the temperature by utilizing the cool air at the back of the headlight. Hope that helps!
