candurin Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I totally agree but a drop in led will never surpass an actual oem led setup I knew we would finally agree The new acura LED setup is pretty damn impressive. I'd never buy one (despite my wife's persistence) but the nighttime illumination is pretty damn good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Actually all the honda/acura mini squares suck but win cool points for looks. Seems like the murano has best led right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I've always said that OEM LED will surpass HID but it hasnt yet and plug and play LED bulbs is like selling oxygen to humans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallard Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I installed some of these the other day. mallard I would like to know your thoughts over the past few months. I for one, am not impressed yet. I have adjusted them up some and will take it out tonight to gauge my efforts. I'll let you know. After 4 months here are my conclusions: They don't throw light as far down the road as the halogen bulbs they replaced nor is their center hot spot as bright as the old bulbs...maybe thats saying the same thing two different ways. I think their fundamental flaw is that there are 2 flat diodes mounted on either side of the central black "fin"...maximum light is being directed out in only 2 directions. If someone developed a ring-shaped LED diode that threw light out 360 degrees I think these would be much more effective in the halogen projectors. If I did more night driving I would probably scrap these and spring for the Daytime BrightLights HID kit. For now, I'll use these until a better plug-n-play LED solution comes along that is reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Why not swap them out? You basically just said that your halogens were better. Hot spot and distance are two different aspects though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesaman Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 After having the LED's in for a few weeks, I decided to return to HID's. The projected light from the LED's weren't what I had expected. I really felted that they were a hazard in many ways. I will say that they were bright, just not enough. The distance they projected down the road just doesn't compare to HID's So in my opinion, for now stay with HID's until the technology can catch up.
