Which is the best W5W T10 LED (168/194)? | OSRAM vs PHILIPS vs Many Others

[@patriotbarrow]

Love how you 3D printed a bulb socket just for presentation.

[@Michael_Michaels]

15:42 nice 3D-printed podium! Excellent review! Thank you!

[@jonathan5354]

I am using philips and osrams for exterior lighting and chinese stuff for the interior. the interior lights are only one for seconds or minutes so so far this mix of good brands and chinese stuff has worked well for me.

[@MikeFoto_na_Moto]

In the past I was using cheap leds from china. Thought that it’s not worth to pay 8-10 times more for Osram LEDs. These chine ones were flickering, turning off. But since I bought first Osram set 4 years ago…… I forgot about changing led. I’ve changed cars and motorbikes and the same set I bought 4yrs ago is still with me, working flawlessly. I have total of 12pcs of Osram w5w and all of them are still working as position lights, license plates lights, interior.

[@DJBla2e01]

It's just luck of the draw, especially if you go for really cheap ones. Not all of them are bad, it's mainly the _really_ cheap no-name LEDs that have problems, but even some of those can last a long time. I've mostly used Auxito for the last 3 years; not only in my car, but also in other people's cars. All the ones in my car still work, as are all the others (minus one T10 in my sister's car, but that was a one-off, as I've fitted plenty prior to that which all still work). I even have some no-name T5 LEDs in my car which are all still working after 3.5 years, but at the same time I've also had plenty of no-names that died within 1-2 months.

[@toyotabrony]

@@DJBla2e01dude Auxito is the way to go because not only they are the most go to for our cars and I also help with my friends car. We mostly go for Lasfit, Auxito, and Sylvania led and zevo led with no issues. And their customer service from Lasfit and Auxito is reliable. On sylvania customer service, I have not have experience with them as they had to fix some issues of their customer service. But their quality products is a no brainer to buy. So Lasfit, Auxito, sylvania led and zevo led, and even Philips led meaning ultinon, vision, extreme vision is the way to go.

[@alextnk]

I'm using the philips over a year now and no problem. For my reg plate I use aukito brand similar like bulb p. Keep up the good work! Bafta :).

[@User-cb4jm]

Auxito has been good for me

[@frederickendicott2207]

Great test! I am running osram 5000k in plate light for more two years, there are warranty four years and made in Taiwan, nice.

[@mariozinhobros]

Great video! I use the new Philips Ultinon Pro3000. They are excellent!

Thanks ,for making this kind of test. I'm using Neolux model ,for about 4 years, in my headlights. Still running grate.

[@TheStaniG]

That settles it, I see some Hella LEDs in my future. I trust your testing methodology and conclusions as it seems very well thought out and executed.

[@davidmills5557]

Thank you VERY MUCH for taking the time to create, edit, and upload this video!!! MUCH APPRECIATED!!

[@bogdansofroniciu387]

Felicitari pt organizare si profesionalismul studiului. Chinezariile au inceput sa devina mai bune si chiar si aceste no-name uri dau rezultate bune, atat timp cat nu cumperi cel mai ieftin produs, conversia pe led poate fi o reusita.

I’ve had LED K in my vehicle for interior dome lights and license plate lights and they are all going strong since 2015

[@B3MMi]

Great video as always! I'd like to see a test between different D1S Xenon products from Osram and Philips. :)

[@michaksiazek4424]

Thank you for takign the tiem to do this. There is so much bad product when it comes to these things and so few people review them. You did it so professionally. Thank You!!!!!

Sweet and to the point, explaining clearly all the steps and precautions to your review giving a reason why.. please don’t stop, you’re very good at what you are doing 😊

[@robertmunroe3976]

Well done Sergiu; excellent scientific evaluation! Cheers from Washington State, 🇺🇸

[@Tenkaichibudokai22]

This is exactly the video i had been looking for for many years. Thanks Sergio.

[@srikarvundavalli5934]

Good timing haha. I recently switched my number plate lights to Osram 0.5w leds. The old halogens must’ve gotten so hot that when I tried to remove the bulb from the housing, the housing clips were brittle and broke off. The plastic of the housing was bubbled up and turned slightly black as well. I replaced it

[@inc6436]

Motorcycle stuff would be great, keep up the good work, best youtuber in this category.

[@alessandroaraujo9286]

I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time! Nice video! By the way: the brighter the better, my choice is led D! 😄

[@trollgarage7379]

Awesome as usual! =D I allways look forward to your reviews. :)

[@krollpeter]

Everybody looks at headlights quality, but W5W lights are overlooked. You did quality job and everything is clearly explained. Thank you!

[@giorgospanas5775]

Best KZbin tests with simple English. I use many philips w5w over than 3 years now with out any problem. What you pay, that you get.

[@MakaayYazhnam]

Great video series (with all the types of led lights used in the car). Is that (most powerful) LED light at the end of the video maybe - X-7Seven Apollo Ultra?

[@SolarMillUSA]

Dude. This is such a great test. Excellent methodology, very well done!

[@jozsefizsak]

This is a fantastic channel and your efforts are very much appreciated. It's certain to grow steadily as more people discover it. I do think you are putting in extra time and making your videos worse with the currently popular sound effects. Being startled or distracted by sudden noises does not help us absorb the information you're giving us. The blast of air sound which is now everywhere is particularly annoying. You can blaze a new path by walking away from this fad.

[@SergiuGabor]

Thank you Jozsef! To be honest, every time I'm working on a video and the time comes to add the sound, I remember your comments about the sound effects 😂 Every time! I'm sorry that you find it distracting and please believe me that I always reduce the sound level very low on that effect, mostly because of what you told me. It's at -20dB and I can barely hear it... am I going deaf? I tried to remove it, but in my opinion it's better to leave it in. If more viewers complain about it, I will remove it.

[@jozsefizsak]

@@SergiuGabor I didn't realize I was repeating myself, so sorry for nagging. The issue is the sudden, abrupt onset. I've generally lived on main streets with loud cars, trucks and motorcycles going by and I don't even notice them. If someone bursts a balloon behind us, we generally jump but with the whooshing air blast sound, it just represents the onset of a sudden mechanical issue requiring immediate attention in my head that I have to mentally dismiss and that's the distraction. (Maybe I just need a new head!) Do remember Shakespeare talking about painting the lily. Perfection does not require embellishment. No one else is providing this important information and it's not about entertainment value although your sense of humor is wonderful. ;-)

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

Again, a most rewarding test. Very comprehensive.

[@jlaubuchon]

This video is just the push I needed to make a decision. A reputable car lighting guy recommended Osrams or Philips if I couldn’t get the Osrams. The prices have kept me away since my car takes 15 W5W bulbs. Seeing your video with more real world info opposed to opinion or sales pitch coupled with a sale on the Osram 6000k bulbs sealed the deal. $55 for eight 2-packs vs $112 for the Philips. Thanks for this and your other videos.

[@jensschreiner5351]

I really appreciate your video. I would have been grateful if I'd have had this before. 🤣 I chose Osram (over m-tech and Philips) because I wanted 6000k standing light and wasn't sure about m-tech. In direct comparison between the two big brands I've noticed that Osram is usually more color accurate and brighter. But it's good to know m-tech is an option.

[@kapishgirdhar]

Your intense work is appreciated

[@Starter61]

Excellent video. I loved your well documented but also humorous approach. Side note, for the record, I am not using LED lights in my 2001 old car, I like the old vintage look of incandescent little lamps. All these years, only one failed.

[@Batler631]

Perfect test thank you I would appreciate a summary of all the tests in 1 pop-up with OK and Fail. I had a problem finding the strongest light bulb that passed all the tests: D

[@Batler631]

I clicked back and forth about 100 times to find the test on the right line. And when the light bulb failed, I looked for another one again and again...

[@David-vb8ih]

[@MarioPk]

I am running four LED H (red version) in my 2020 VW e-up! since 1.5 years now and they work perfectly fine ever since, they stay cool and are light, so they do not fall into the lamp housing caused by shocks and vibrations, like some heavier bulbs tend to do over time. They do not even trigger a CANBUS warning, which I was honestly suprised of.

[@13YTe]

LED H 3 years of usage without any problems... they shine 3 times more that incandescent bulb, they are cold enough to be safe, they don't broke easy on the headlight housing... they are not the brightest but they are good enough for this application.

[@cisconponchoputerparts969]

I noticed MAXGTRS lights pop up on your post. Nearly every BAY15 light I have bought from them failed in a few months and their tail/brake lights (like most others) do not have have enough brightness definition between tail and stop. The only MAXGTRS BAY15 that have lasted were two white lights I used for reverse lights. The only good thing about them is they come in a nice box 🤦

Another trap for the unwary: Some T10 LED housings (G, I, J, N, O) have alloy sides either as a heat-sink or for cosmetic reasons. These may be a problem in some vehicles. In my case, a 2006 Subaru Outback. The front park light holder has metal contacts that go up beside the bulb. They would short out on a T10 LED with an alloy base.

[@nickdegroot2445]

Great reviews you always make. Came here specifically for the canbus test of these but apparently they all failed. I tried many lamps before and all gave canbus error for license plate lights. Not sure how to create nice white light for my license plate as the full replacement lamps are too bright and coding did not work.

nice. i bought Narva-styled T10 for $.3 a piece from xstorm. they're non-polarity and performed quite okay after i removed the "canbus" resistors. half of the power were wasted into heat. it's true that most of the time, the driver would went out first. i had 1156 6 Cree XBD LED that was died after 4yrs of use. turns out it was the MLCC shat itself taking the bridge rectifier with it. it works fine after i removed the MLCC and replaced the rectifier.

[@blazeykk]

Since two years I use led W5W VISION brand (blue/silver V letter in black hexagon or white V in blue as logo). They make many models of W5W bulbs from simple ones with resistors only to complex with full drivers. And I am very content. Some of them even have "CAN" (bank of resistors).

[@magicalsleight]

Buna Sergiu și felicitări, din nou, pentru încă un video reușit! Am sa prezint aici un aspect pe care nu l-am văzut expus de tine in acest video si anume faptul ca: niciunul dintre becurile LED, fie de tip W5W, prezentate in acest video, folosite ca si becuri de poziții, fie becurile H7, pentru care ai făcut review, folosite pentru Faza Scurta/Lunga, sau cele H8, H9, H11, H16 etc. (Pentru luminile de ceata/ cornering) precum și becurile P21W și PY21W, folosite pentru mers inapoi / poziții / semnalizare nu au marcaj de omologare pentru a fi folosite pe drumurile publice. Acest marcaj de omologare se afla pe orice componenta folosită in construcția unui autoturism și certifica faptul ca elementul poate fi folosit legal. Marcajul de omologare e de forma: E, urmat de o cifra, ce semnifica țara de producție, ca de exemplu E1 - Germania, totul inclus in interiorul unui cerc. Veți vedea acest simbol pe absolut orice componenta de la bec pana la componente din interiorul motorului. Înțeleg motivația celor care doresc sa facă conversia la bec de tip LED atât din punct de vedere al aspectului vizual cât și al economiei de energie și al eficientei. Aduc aminte de această “problema”, întrucât ma aflu in ipostaza in care ma întâlnesc zilnic cu astfel de “conversii” din prisma verificărilor tehnice: Inspecția Tehnica Periodica (ITP). Conform legislației din România și a metodologiei după care se verifica autoturismele in România RNTR - 1 aceste tipuri de becuri nu sunt admise pentru circulația pe drumuri publice și sunt de părere ca oamenii ar trebui sa știe acest aspect, înainte de a interveni asupra mașinii lor și de a transforma orice sursa de lumina in bec de tip LED. Nu doresc sa par absurd ca și cum asta ar fi singura problema a autoturismelor de pe drumurile noastre, însă este un aspect ce trebuie avut in vedere, mai ales ca unele becuri de acest tip nu sunt chiar ieftine. Scuze pentru comentariul lung. Sunt curios sa văd ce opinii mai au si ceilalți membri ai comunității.

[@SergiuGabor]

Mulțumesc pentru comentariu. In acest video nu am specificat verbal acest lucru, dar este menționat în descriere.

You should test more Auxito brand bulbs. They're a very good brand and never ad a canbus error with them

[@ivaylooo]

Do you have any Impression on the so called canbus T10 leds that have built in resistors? I've heard some stories about melted sockets as the resistors are located at the bottom part of the led where it makes contact with the socket, so I don't feel like taking the risk, but I drive VAG car like you and I'm tired or these error lights :)

Thanks for making the video Sergiu! Why is it so difficult to make a product according to spec... I guess the generic manufacturers just buy what's available for the lowest cost and run with it. That's why I try to stick to the (better) known brands where possible.
