This is the best car channel on KZbin, and I say this mostly because every other car channel on KZbin is the same. They're loud, too obnoxious and cocky, they love to clickbait, and they're too desperate to grab the viewers attention. You're different because you always keep it real, your attitude is always calm, videos are always chill and very high quality, and the fact that you're straightforward and to the point. Keep up the great content 👍

[@JamilioQ]

bought these bulbs for my mk7 because i watched this video. definitely one of the best purchases i made for this car. changes the look of the car entirely. definitely worth it. You deserve many more subscribers and viewers for your helpful reviews and installations

Are these still holding up?

[@autoambiente]

You should also replace the turn signals! I’ve done that for my GLI and for the easy mod that it is, the results are worth it

[@runofthemillz]

How should I do that?

[@evanpritchard5822]

On the mirrors?

[@sonofrobert]

You can access the bulb also through the fog light access hole in wheel well. I saw a video for amber drls/high beams. These are halogens but brighter, and the drls look really cool and amber stands out more for safety.

[@Fastdubb]

Go thru the drivers side wheel well for better access to headlight bulbs 3 screws versus the 6 fasteners for the intake

One of the few gripes with my base model 16 S is the headlights. Didn't want to do an expensive conversion. This will do the trick! Thanks...

[@ant.everest]

Man the more I watch your videos, the more I’m liking those wheels

[@tredfxman]

Igot the Philips & Osram White Vision halogens (similar to led) for soo much cheaper than leds. And also without the problems of converters... Looks bout the same to! 👍

[@simonorr594]

I just installed the Osrams in new headlamp units (the originals have weird micro-cracks in the lens). They are nowhere near as bright as the LEDs. I am getting the LEDs

[@OriginalKKid]

Hey Cam. Thank you for all the content and all you do to entertain and educate us. Carmaspeed is one of a kind and I hope for bigger things for you and the business in the future! Keep up the amazing work! ✌🏻

[@STFUP3390]

Just got mine I can believe this lights make a such huge difference

[@sambowks]

I think the headlights are designed to pop out to be worked on, on my VW (Polo) its just two top screws then pull forward and out they come. Much easier than fiddling in the engine bay.

[@Megalink82]

They really are but you have to take the entire front bumper off the MK7 GTI just to get to the headlight screws.

[@metalfamily4153]

I can’t believe i JUST found this video. thank you Cameron. MUCH NEEDED MOD!!!

[@tylermajeski2902]

Is this safe to do knowing our halogen cars have housings made for halogens? I read this is a big douche move that can blind other drivers? Please correct me if I’m wrong just going off forums I debated doing this the day I drive my gti home, I hate the lights

[@Frank_Serota]

i think it just depends

[@benhudson8905]

You have to be really careful about the bulb you buy and how it is installed and adjusted. I did a huge amount of research when I got my LED headlights and ultimately decided that buying headlights designed for LEDs was a better option.

[@tylermajeski2902]

@@benhudson8905 that’s what I assumed I just cannot justify spending that much money on all new headlights for my gti, I’m assuming the bulbs in his video are safe otherwise he wouldn’t have used them?

[@benhudson8905]

@@tylermajeski2902 If you look at the light pattern against the garage you can see light projected up above the cutoff line. There are several lines of light and some dim patterns. These are glare. You can also see the glare when the camera is looking at the headlights. The whole reflector is lit up and you can see the glare around the edges of the headlight lens. This is why LEDs are bad in halogen housings. My LED projectors don't have light above the cutoff so they don't glare. While the ones he installed are better than a lot of the ones I have seen, the visible glare patterns on the garage would keep me from installing these LED bulbs in my personal car. He did adjust them, which many people don't, but he can't solve the glare issue because of the design of the reflector behind the bulb.

[@DanUtley]

@@benhudson8905 so did you NOT get LEDs? Or did you just get all new headlight housings? I have halogen headlights in my GTI and would love LED headlights, but my initial research scared em away from going any further. FYI I’ve got a 2020 GTI with the DRL LED bar thing with those hideous contrasting halogen headlights next to them.

[@briannegron9685]

Hi 👋 I’ve been driving a mk7 gti for 3 years now. And I love it. But i had headlight go out. I would like to do what you did in this video but the link in description for the lights isn’t working.

[@Jake-jj3gr]

that would be sick if can you do gli jet tags too.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

These non DOT approved led bulbs have a major problem with too much light thrown directly in front of the car, instead of down the road. When concrete pavement is wet, a tremendous glare is created by this close-up light patterns. In rear view mirrors at night the highway becomes a white sheet of LED bulb glare. It stinks.

I installed the same LED'S but had issues with the driver side DRL, it kept flickering. luckily i was able to fix the issue via VCDS. so if you have the same problem, you need to change the Lasttyp settings on the DRLs. see below. Leuchte5 TFL RB32-Lasttyp 5 and Leuchte4TFL LB4-Lasttyp 4 > change from 9 - allgemeine Glühlampe 27W; auch H15 to 1 - LED Tagfahrlichtmodul Versorgung

[@Xeridae]

I don't recommend the Focus RS. Too many reasons to fit into a youtube comment but if anyone cares, I'll try. Bought one out at San Tan Ford actually so yeah, I am a local, and it did fine in the heat with a stock intercooler, stock everything. I had it for a year and traded it for a Mustang GT after seeing your GT build. Having said that, if views are the goal, you'll probably get views on it.

Don’t fit led into halogens in the uk you’ll fail the mot even if they don’t glare, you can get decent H15’s HG’s Iv got some and they’re not as bright but definitely nice colour not too blue to be pulled over also remember in the uk if you go over a certain lumen think it’s 6k entering the blue spectrum you’ll be pulled by the police

[@harryberry474]

Are these LED headlight bulbs Hi AND Low beam? Or did you lose the Hi beams?

[@Khusta...Ngcupe]

Where did you order the LEDs, I couldn't find them in your RSA I had yo settle for the HID

[@reeced5521]

The beam pattern on these looks bad. You'll definitely be giving off glare to oncoming drivers. If you're going to install LED bulbs into a Halogen housing you NEED to make sure the LED chips sit in the EXACT same position and are of similar size as the filament in the Halogen bulb. Unfortuntely the vast majority of aftermarket LED bulbs are terrible and not suitable. Not only that but they fail often and have insufficient cooling which results in the light output dropping as they heat up.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

The glare off wet pavement is blinding with these illegal leds. On a crowded Interstate at night, I am forced to angle all rear view mirrors out of sight

[@Jpooppy]

They don’t throw a fault code?

[@Megalink82]

That's a good way to piss people off when they are meeting you on the road. The stock halogen headlights scatter the light and that's why you should always use LEDs and HIDs in a projector housing headlight. There is no way to adjust the beam pattern like in the projectors and you will blind people on the road. I get that they were out of stock but I cringe when I see this. Not hating and I think you have a good thing going here. I like your channel but I really hate it when people do this.

[@Drip_Drizzle]

Maybe with old style leads, the new ones are made to disperse light similar to halogen.

[@Megalink82]

@@Drip_Drizzle Hmm. That's interesting since it's the reflective material in the reflective housing that disperses the light. In a projector housing, the light hits an ellipsoidal lens which is designed to direct the light to the road instead of in the eyes of oncoming traffic like an LED in a reflective housing would and still does. They also have cutoff shields built in which reflective housings simply don't. Yes they "work" in a reflective housing but it's very stupid and offensive to oncoming traffic. I would love to see where these new LEDs exist that disperse their own light and don't rely on the type of headlight housing. It's pretty obvious he realizes this too hence why he was trying to buy projector headlights but couldn't get them from ECS. He decided to just throw some LEDs into stock reflective housings.
