LED headlights ?

[GeekFisher]

My Sylvania Xtra Vision both died on me at the same time so I'm looking for a replacement.

I saw at my local auto part store some LED headlights: DAI
Same kit but 130 CAD

Any thoughts about these leds used as headlights ? I want to get more light without adding light bars.

Thanks,

Usually with those type of leds, you get dead/dark spots in the beam pattern on the road. My brother tried the H13 version and quickly uninstalled them. They looked exactly the same as the ones you linked

Yeah, I also read about these Phillips and Hella/PIAAs.

Will try to look for the Phillips.

Found all the Philips bulbs at rockauto at great price !

Is the Xtreme Vision better than the CrystalVision ?

 

[LetFreedomRing]

Extreme vision is the one you want. Crystal vision is a white/blue light that is not as bright.

I had also heard bad things about LED bulbs in the rain. Apparently hard to see the light or something.

I actually prefer led bulbs in the rain. Easier to see in my opinion. I have 9005 leds in my fog lights. They replaced 9005 Philips xtreme vision bulbs, no comparison.

I just want light for the wood driving I do not care about style/appearance.

I ordered them 46CAD shipped which is cheaper than my former Sylvania's

I actually have LEDs fogs and like them but I read that leds for headlights aren't that good hence this thread.

LEDs are not good at all in the KJ
Phillips Extreme does best for sure

If you want bright lights get some bi xenon bulbs easy to install. Got a kit for 10,000 k bi xenon bulbs (I drive out in the country side) and they work great. You get two lights the ballasts and two anti flicker capacitors. I still have a link if you're interested

Hehe I have them aimed pretty low so I don't piss people off.

I still "meet and greet" with almost 400 watts of LED's which most are spot lights when I cross paths with illegal retro fit kits.

Still thogh is the fact that you are kidding yourself on the brightness
when you get into those numbers its more blueish which tricks your mind into thinking its brighter but its not

I Will only use leds for fogs. I already ordered the Philips extreme vision.

That kit posted in post #1 is also illegal in the US to be installed in any vehicle not originally equipped as such. Using a reflector style headlight housing with HID or LED bulbs/emitters... not legal.

Of course, unless you have inspections in your state, not likely to be a problem; except for oncoming traffic who will hate you.

Teeje, the ebay ad you posted, even states light color is Deep Blue. I am surprised that yours appear white to you.

Beam Type: Hi-Lo Beam
Light Color: 10000K Deep Blue
