For Y62 high beam, make sure you get the H9 bulb and not HB3 as mentioned on some car light bulb references website. I made that mistake already.

[@4x4brothers]

Crazy how some suppliers can’t get their information right

[@HappyGoTravel]

Its unreal the difference a good quality set of LED globes make, awesome job. Nissan definitely fixed this issue with the S5 Y62.

[@4x4brothers]

Sure is mate. Cheers for watching. And it's exactly that putting the right globe in to get the right results. The series 1-4 are horrible I'm surprised it took them so long to fix it 😆

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Great video mate, as a guy who converted all my lighting to leds on the last 4 cars in my opinion its the only way to go. Cheers Steve

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers for watching mate. Now I've done it, it's one of those things I should have done on my last 4 cars too😂

[@nordic5490]

Hope you dont live near me. It is totally illegal to replace low beam halogens with LED that has not been ADR approved for that vehicle, ie, none are approved. There is no grey area, there are no ifs, buts, or maybes. Do not do it. Why ? Because you will blind oncoming traffic in a variety of circumstances, especially if you have a lifted 4x4. There is no need to increase the light output on low beam any way. Please do not encourage this practice. Every night I am blinded in the suburbs by some nucklehead who has swapped their low beam halogen to LED - dont do it. Highbeam ? Knockyour self out. I run 100w hid high beam in all, my vehicles.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Good vid some interesting perspectives I had not considered. Cheers.

[@4x4brothers]

Yeah not as simple as just plug a globe in when you start doing some research. Hope this helps mate.

[@leonmaas7463]

Hi - great video. What do you guys do on the main beam dust cover? Do you remove it to make space for the driver cabling? I would really love to have to back in place - so might just cut a slit in and put it back? Cheers from South Africa!

[@4x4brothers]

Gday mate cheers for watching, in all honesty I can’t remember how I did that now, did it show the cover back in place in the video? It’s been a while since I installed them. Cars at the mechanic at the moment but can have a more detailed look when I get it back if you like? Cheers

[@masonmas1877]

What is the name and model of LED that you using , Thanks

[@4x4brothers]

www.ko-gear.com.au/ It's their replacement mate. Have plenty for alot of different types of vehicles

[@theclinchdrive]

My S4 has HID low beams which ain’t to bad how ever LED low beams are the go.

[@4x4brothers]

Might be time to change them mate. What have you got as high beams?

[@theclinchdrive]

@@4x4brothers yeah for sure mate. I’ve already done a few Ko-Gear upgrades such as the interior lights, rear locker over ride kit and the 2wd kit. My high beams are standard halogen yellow looking light. These Ko-Gear LED are not suitable or Ti-L? That’s what it says on there website anyways. The reverse lights are awesome i

[@4x4brothers]

@@theclinchdrive ah yeah you might be right with the til he would know best. At least for high beams you can have the spot lights on and the lows are what you do most of the driving on

[@MartyPhil]

Great review mate, now you just need to change your rear number light 😂😂 I ended up just switching my globes for Philips crystal vision 4300k and are heaps better. Fingers crossed for out of lockdown soon mate 🛻🏔👌

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers mate, I didn't even twig to the numberplate light definitely gonna have to swap that out. Lots of great options out there hey for what to upgrade to. And yep now need these lockdowns to end to get back out there

[@chrisduckworth2022]

Do you have any concerns about possibly getting defected for running LED's considering their is no ADR for them ? It seems to be a grey area at the moment that there is no ADR to cover aftermarket LED globes but there are ADR's that speak of light colour and intensity that would have applied to the vehicle when it was imported, which, given the huge light colour and intensity upgrade may mean the vehicle is no longer compliant. I don't want to be a downer as I am thinking of doing the same thing but because it's sort of a grey area, I am holding off for a bit to see what the ADR people do on LED globes. Another instance where tech is outpacing standards I guess. I am glad that you took the time to talk about matching the light source location between LED and Halogen to make sure the resulting beam pattern is the same. That was awesome to see, as there is a lot of negative press about 4WDer's fitting crappy LED's that blind people on the road, that we could do without. Liked and Subcribed :-)

[@4x4brothers]

Cheers for watching mate. I'm not to concerned with the low beams as they really are fine to look at and there is alot of cars out with led as standard. I think with not going above the 5000k colour mark helps them not to be so rude to other road users. I'm like you not to sure the grey area around them too so have also kept the original globes just in case. High beams are bloody bright but also with that 99% of the time the spotlights will be on when they are also. I hate it when people retrofit a globe into a headlight that's not made right the benefits they could achieve go right out the window also when they don't take the time to research how they actually should work. Hopefully this video helps some of them who are thinking about doing it. Cheers for the sub mate and enjoy the content

Bloody brilliant video mate. Wish you filmed the reverse light led. Was that a piece of piss too??

[@4x4brothers]

Thanks mate. Yeah the reverse took two seconds it’s just behind the pop out covers in the tailgate

[@AussieDownUnder]

@@4x4brothers was there an all in one pack you bought from kogear or a list of what you got? I’m wanting to do that same to mine

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

Luckily my S5 has LED headlights as standard but I remember the first and every night I drive it I'm like Holy shit I can see properly . Especially coming from bf wagon daily. I've got the kogear led interior lights and was ones of my first mods. I used 2 globes on the number plate as i hated every exterior light on the S5 is led factory except the number plate and it looked stupid

[@4x4brothers]

Yeah I'm surprised it took them so long to fix the horrible lights on the series 1-4. The ko gear is great stuff and Kerry is super helpful too. I didn't even think about the number plate light so I've just got that left to do now.

[@joshlloyd4889]

Now just need to do the number plate globes and it’ll top it off

[@4x4brothers]

Haha good pick up I didn't even think of that one hey, I'm going to get onto that

@@joshlloyd4889 eagle eye. Cheers bloody happy with how it turned out hey

@@joshlloyd4889 the key is getting the right globe for your light and you will get great gains.

That’s a fair point I’m not across the legalities but people still do it either way and we figure if we could give the best information we could research into how to do it best possible way it should help other road users In all honesty I’ve never been flashed driving the car at night from oncoming cars The low beam in the early y62 was absolutely horrendous
