What to look for when buying LED Headlight Bulbs


Recommended Posts

Ran across an excellent YouTube video from "Headlight Revolution". Discusses all of the prior and current variants of LED headlights (fogs as well) and analysis what's good, bad and just plain ugly. What works, why and how. Very informative video on LEDs. (Be advised it's a half hour long).

Too save everyone some time... It would appear as though these earned the highest marks in each of the categories he discussed in the video:

Ironically, when you then look at those bulbs, GTR states this:

 

Projector Headlights: Generally speaking the best thing to use in a projector application is either a halogen (if it was designed for that) or an HID/Xenon bulb (if it was designed for that). Using an LED bulb will work on some halogen projector applications but chances are doing an HID conversion will yield better/brighter light than ANY LED bulb. The technology used in designing this LED bulb is based on mimicing the attributes of a halogen/incandescent bulb, so any halogen housing they should work but your results may vary.

 

Nick H., here's your perfect "I told you so" moment!!!
