Out of all the best of the best automotive led lighting, morimoto is the best to mimic the original halogen headlight beam pattern. 😍
Great comparison as always. Not sure if you have one but you guys should put a database of all these combos on your website.
Lightwerkz Global should run this test with a clear lens swap for the H11 projectors.
Same projector used in the 2012 scion xb? Wasn't sure about an LED bulb so I just went with hid. Thanks for the video!
It would be great if you took a picture (not a frame grab from a video) of every test you run at the same settings so people could see the actual comparison with the same camera at the same exposure settings. You can see the device you are using dynamically adjusting it's exposure while you are filming and it makes it hard to truly tell whether one light is better than the next as the camera is constantly trying to hit proper exposure for the amount of light being presented.
Start off with something like iso 100, f/4 or f/5.6 and 1/125th of a second, then just always use it. It would give everyone an even perspective of what different light provide when viewed the same way.
An often overlooked point in all videos trying to demonstrate light intensity, but the Lux meter is still more accurate than your perception of brightness seen on a still image.
@@mikw1809 Very true, but a lux reading is the amount of light at a single point in the beam. It would be more about showing the brightness across the pattern rather than a peak reading at a single central point.
This is a gear idea, I’ve seen only a few that represent the color temp correctly, I made a video on some led reverse lights and set my camera up the same for each shot, I should have taken some stills
The problem with most led bulbs is they lack the hotspot of the halogen for down road visibility.... would be nice to see side by side comparisons with camera settings all the same... same f-stop, exposure and shutter speed so we can really compare the hot spot of the bulbs... thanks for the video.
Great Video! Im waiting for my 50w Sabor Pro LEDs to Fail. Cant wait lol
Hmmm interesting findings. For those of you who have Toyota Tacoma's and factory OEM projectors, I would still HIGHLY recommend the GTR Ultra 2's. Have them in my brother's Taco and he didn't have any of the light distribution/color band loss that was shown here. He's pushing a year with owning them and they're still just as bright as when we installed them back in January of this year
Ultra 2 is great no doubt, this is the same projector on the Tacoma. So results would be the same.
How is the output/distribution when it comes to range in the tacoma? Thinking for these or the 3.0, ultra2 or sv4..
@@GhettoFabulous670 You can see in this comparison which is the tacoma projector, the 2stroke 3.0 is best. Brightest where it counts and retains proper distribution when compared too halogen .
@@LightwerkzGlobal what would you recommend among the bunch? Mainly for distance. I know retrofit is the way, but I plan on picking up the Morimoto headlights for my 2020 tacoma later down the road. Just want a good reliable bulb. Thanks
@@GhettoFabulous670 Still the 2stroke 3.0 - you'll get better distance when you have a hot spot that is tight to the original cutoff line. The tension clip system on the H11 aids with that and its the only LED bulb that has that out of these.
Can you do a review on the auxito y13 led bulb in a projector and a multi reflector housing. It’s a fairly cheap led bulb compared to the sv4 , morimoto and the gtr. But one of my buddies bought it for his Tacoma and it performes really good from just looking at it. But I’m curious on how it really performs. Thank you!!
Which of these do you think would work best in a Kia Niro with projectors?
Nice ! 😊
The Morimoto is impressive! I installed the GTR Ultra on a halogen projector and I am extremely happy with the results! I am not blinding on coming traffic and is a vast improvement over halogen. If the Morimoto 3.0 had only came out a week earlier I would have definitely gone with the Morimoto 3.0 over the GTR Ultra.
Now I’m stuck between these two any advice
What clock pattern did you set the gtrs in the projector housing?
@@pkersey0805 I did not make any adjustments after installing the GTR Ultras.
@yardbird1133 Well you have to clock them at 9 and 3 o'clock.
Thanks
I love the video!
Me personally I like how the GTR Ultra 2 is more broad and floody of a light profile, to me it just seems like all ya need to do is aim the light just oh so slightly up for that Hotspot.
Sv4 and morimoto have a triangular dark spot in some projector headlight housing.
Best light for 2015 ford fusion se with halogen projector headlights? Have you done a review on the morimoto 2stroke 4.0?
Nice thing about the new Morimoto engineering is you should see stock beam pattern in all projectors and halogens whereas other LEDs it's really a Gamble if your light spread or beam pattern is going to be any good.
Also I'm very surprised in all tests for Led headlight products there's never talk about how much lux is lost after the bulb comes up to temperature. Normally all LEDs will retain about 70 to 75% about put what's the temperature or about a 25 to 30% loss in brightness once at temperature. This is where HIDs and to still be better as they maintain LUX.
Just give it up, no one uses H I D anymore it's outdated 🤣
@@mrman8856cause im sure its cheaper to make but they are definitely brighter
@@mrman8856 I use HID's. They're much brighter than LED by quite a lot, also holds perfect beam pattern. The GTR's are $350 for me, however the HID kit that I purchased cost nearly $150 less, yet are brighter. The only thing outdated is you.
This video is amazing you should be making more testing and comparison video😃
Have you checked there channel? Last I checked they have over 100 videos.
@@ricardomolina4605 yeah i have seen all the past videos and this is my fav channel but some of his videos are too short to cover all the details that's what i am saying 😊
In that particular projector, I'd go with the sv4 or morimoto. The gtr hotspot seems way too low. I'd like to see how these bulbs perform in the alpharex pro series, as a lot of people remove the halogen bulbs and replace them with some sort of LED assembly.
I'd like to see an Alpharex test as well.
I run gtr ultra 2's in a chevy ss going more than 85 most of the time. Glad to say that the visibility is impressive, reaction time greatly improved and happy with the purchase. IMO
LED bulbs far outweigh filament bulbs in comparison. Filament bulbs always seem to burn out at the completely wrong time. Halogen or HID...
Do you really need to go more than 85 most of the time?
@@rvh77 texas has roads thats 85 dummy
What would you recommend for 2020 chevy silverado 1500 ctb? I am torn between gtr, sv4 and lasfit. I have read that the sv4 tests really well. Don't want any flickering or a worry about the fans burning out or being flashed every day (stock set up) Any help is appreciated.
SV4, very solid. You can find it on our site.
Thoughts on direct replacement bulbs for a 2017 suburban that has halogen projectors?
2stroke 3.0 always going to be a solid choice based on our testing.
I have the anzo H7 headlights on my 16 f150 which of the three bulbs would be better for me
None of these is optimal compared to HID. Get this kit. Costs less and performs better. lightwerkz.net/collections/hid-systems/products/hylux-2a88-35w-canbus-hid-system
Does Morimoto make a complementary retrofit projector for any their LED bulbs that can head to head against their own M.2 bi-LED unit?
No, they do not. Havent seen anything quite as good as the MLED 2.0 in terms of low beam intensity and distribution.
What do you recommend for a 2018 nissan maxima with halogen/projector housing for low beams and then for fog lights that will match perfectly?
Ideally a projector retrofit but if you dont want to go that far, stick with a plug and play HID kit on stock projectors. Cheaper and more effective than the LED kits.
lightwerkz.net/collections/hid-systems/products/hylux-2a88-35w-canbus-hid-system?variant=39388486664332
do w/HID bulb plz 35W and 55W, thx
Hid work better in projectors but if it’s a normal housing it’s better to go with LEDs
Hi, I usually purchase my hid & led products from you. Which would you recommend for a 2013 gl450 ? I believe they use the regular Hella projectors for their halogen bulbs. On my 12 gl450 I swapped the projectors to the evox-r 2.0 with hid, but don't want to do thst much work
Go with HID such as Hylux 2a88 and Morimoto bulbs. Cheaper, plug and play, and brighter :)
@@LightwerkzGlobal thank, I already have the bulbs will go on your website and grab the hylux.
I have a 2013 cadillac coupe with HID headlights and want to replace the fog lamp bulbs below it. colors yellow now and want to match the headlights. the fog lamp lense looks like a projector. what should I go with for the fog lamps. thank you
H11 SV4 would be a great choice. lightwerkz.net/collections/sv4/products/h11-h9-h8-s-v-4-led-bulb-single
Question:
The s.v4 can’t be used as low beam in the US? Is that why on the website its listed as fog light? Im curious why in the comments i see ppl buying the low/high beam sv4 & ultra 2s
HID/LED conversion bulbs are not legal for use in the USA as low beams. They are for fog lights. What you do with them, we cannot control :)
Would these in H7 be good as a DRL / Highbeam installed on a 2016 Elantra GT ? ( It’s a reflector Highbeam) Low Beam Projector. Or do you need to buy extra drivers ?
Sorry no way of confirming since we dont have enough feedback, but if you want to purchase, plug one in and test as DRL -youll know if its working as the light will turn on but the fan will not. So you know its at 30%.
The 3.0 is designed to function as a DRL, when the voltage drops from 6-9v it runs at 30% brightness, supposed to be the only LED currently able to do that.
@@ZootyZoFo Yes they did say that . It’s a good idea as some leds don’t quite get that low . 👍
In morimoto bulb try to rotate the base 180 degree maybe it will fix the alignment of hotspot
I have a Mazda 6 with a H11 projector - which bulbs would be best for perfect lighting?
When it comes to projectors, the best answer is to use HID. Less expensive, brighter and better optimization in the beam. lightwerkz.net/collections/hid-systems/products/hylux-2a88-35w-canbus-hid-system
I'd like to see the comparison with an H9 in the projector. The H9 is 65W vs. 55W for an H11, and the H9 is completely clear capsule vs. the H11 coated end to prevent oncoming glare in a reflector housing. It would be especially interesting to see an H9 Sylvania/Osram Silverstar which is at least 20% brighter than standard and a whiter color.

@@LightwerkzGlobal Very nice & enlightening review! Would you say that this led bulb can illuminate more light down the road then any other halogen bulb such as the philips racingvision GT200 & osram night breakers? (Specifically in an h11 reflector type of headlight for low beam)?
@@guspetrakis1233 Havent tested against those halogen bulbs but I assume the these options listed here would outperform them!
In the market for new headlights on a 2018 Dodge Durango. Do I need an anti flicker and is it better to go with the GTRs because of their warranty?
Sorry for the delay here. On the Durango you want to use HID. Way brighter on those. Cheaper too. Ultra 2 would require a PWM module or programming and it wont fit under the cap. This is the kit I recommend, its plug and play - lightwerkz.net/collections/hid-systems/products/hylux-2a88-35w-canbus-hid-system
I just bought a 2016 honda accord ex-L sedan. what would recommend for low beam, Mori2stroke or HID. and what size rubber housing extensions would I need? thank you for your time
HID on factory projectors - H11B - lightwerkz.net/collections/hid-systems/products/hylux-2a88-35w-canbus-hid-system - no extra caps or extensions needed.
The GTR Ultra 2.0 should do well in fog light applications since the beam pattern was more of a flood design... S-V.4 and the M 2Stroke 3.0 will be good for projector applications
I am very interested in the fan system cooling these lights. I have GTR2 Ultras, their fans work for 4-6 months then start to make so much noise I am sure they are about to fail.
Check out the morimoto 3.0 through youtube video. They show its cooling design which is creative and i assume efficient
You have a lifetime warranty with the manufacture
That SV4 may have been the best in that projector. Morimoto was a little brighter, but not as clean.
S-V.4 great in a projector !
What do you recommend for projector headlights that only use one high and low bulb?
I have a 2007 GMC Sierra
SV4 or the Ultra 2
@@LightwerkzGlobal dumb question but
Since the new headlights comes with only one H7 halogen in the projector
Do I use an H7 LED?
Low or high beam LED
@@wallace8468 You would still use a H7 bulb if the new headlight has H7 bulb inside it now.
Lightwerkz Global,pls make a review on the morimoto d2s 5.0 HID projector swap with the morimoto d2s led.
We would have, but it doesn't fit - instagram.com/p/CHsshzGLjR1/
@@LightwerkzGlobal tnx
I had GTR ultra 2.0 in my 2020 Nissan Rogue sport it has halogen projector. Basically my car came with yellow factory bulbs. When I put the GTR ultra 2.0 in I couldn’t hardly see anything on the road. The LED chips faced side to side ( 3 and 9 ) but I couldn’t see far down the road at night. Is there anyway you could demo 2020 Nissan Rogue sport projectors and those 3 LEDS? Please I’m trying to find something descent. I do al lot of driving late night so I need to see good at night. I would like to see the morimoto and sv4 especially. Thanks
Would love to test for you, but we dont have that projector in the shop to test with. The new 2Stroke 3.0 should get you the results you want.
Did you pull out the factory bulb and verify that the depth of the Ultra 2's matched the factory filament? It needs to be the same. And did you clock the bulbs in any other position than what they came in? The 3 and 9 positions don't always work in a projector...
@@Eric2300jeep no I haven’t done none of that. Now I wish I did. I just assumed that the LED chips need to face 3 and 9. Good thing to note for future. As for now I installed the morimoto HID system back into my car. But I will remember what you said for future
@@LightwerkzGlobal too bad. I wish I could see it up on a video to take any suggestions you may have for my specific projector. Maybe in the future you guys will come across it.
@@jkapusty how have the morimoto's been?
What would u recommend for aftermarket projectors on mercedes they the depo headlights hid or morimoto 3.0 2stroke? I have the gtr ultra now is good but not as bright as I expected them to be for their price?
Hid. Never led in aftermarket projectors. Hylux 2a88 ballasts and Morimoto bulbs. Much brighter than any led.
@@LightwerkzGlobal thanks my concern with hid will be able to flash people if needed since low beam and high beam is one
@@nicknick6960 It should still be fine. I wouldn't let that be my deciding factor.
these are interesting results but i am curious how these would fair in a reflector housing for a foglight replacement?
For which model? I would avoid ultra 2 for a fog light.
@@LightwerkzGlobal the morimoto 2stroke 3.0 in a reflector style foglight?
@@jedknouse7053 solid in reflectors
Would you recommend these LED's for 2012 BMW Z4?
Halogen projector headlights? If so they would probably do well in terms of Led options. Ideally HID kit would do best though. Email us with any questions please!
Which of these leds best fit a 2016 pilot with projectors.
H11 Sv4 works nicely in those - lightwerkz.net/collections/sv4/products/h11-h9-h8-s-v-4-led-bulb-single
Nice vid. How bout these three in a reflector housing?
You’d be ignorant to run any of them in a halogen reflector housing. All you’re going to do is blind other drivers. Why do you think every test you ever see is done with a projector.
How far was these tested? LED in a h11 projector starts to flare out, causing more foreground light than distance light, to be fair, their more common in h11 projectors. Thats an issue HR makes, they advertise their own brand (sv4 & ultra 2) and test them at a close range, thus not showing the bulbs full potential or truth.
Distance is 33'. Bulb such as the Ultra 2 in this case would cause more foreground lighting. 2stroke 3.0 wont have that issue.
Have a 2012 Chrysler 300, what do you recommend?
SV4 if you need LED. Otherwise, Hylux 2a88 ballasts and Morimoto HID bulbs will be plug and play as well, brighter, and less expensive.
Can anyone help ? What bulb size for 21 taco off road with projectors
H11, we've got all these bulbs in stock so if you need help just let us know!
IPF XX producing 5600 lumens in pair bulbs. And Light output is 2.5 times bigger than all your bulb in bunch
Manufacturer lumen ratings should he taken with a grain of salt. It's been proven time and time again that higher lumens =/= better product.
@LightwerkzGlobal do you know by chance what brand projector General Motors uses?
A factory LED headlight assembly will not use a removable bulb such as seen in this video. These are conversion kits.
@@LightwerkzGlobal yes sir, I'm aware of that. I just want to know the brand of halogen projector that GM uses. Do you know by chance?
@@dylangajdosik964 if you look up the light on eBay for example of your model sometimes you can see who makes it. I’ve seen Valeo on some modern day GM but it will vary.

@@pupetm You will need PWM modules You can use the diode dynamics ones - lightwerkz.net/collections/wiring-harness-canbus/products/h11-anti-flicker-module-pair-diode-dynamics
@@LightwerkzGlobal awesome thnk you
What is the lux numbers of each ?
Google is your friend.
so out of three, new 2 stroke 3.0 will be the best option?
Seems to be the best because it has a sharp hotspot. The gtr2 is more widespread and that's not good. You want a clear focused hotspot for down-the-road visibility.
My brother has the GTR Ultra 2's in his 17 Tacoma and they look just like the 2 Stroke 3.0's featured here but, with way more intensity. He never lost any of his OEM color band or light distribution. And he's had them for almost year now with zero loss in output. I've personally had reliability/performance issues with the Morimoto 2.0's but, can't speak for the 3.0's. Take that as you will.
Try f3 or F5 led headlight. Cheap and bright
HID works in these projectors
Try that test again in a reflector headlight. GTR ultra 2 blows away morimoto.
That first Halogen of your looked awfully white. Not convinced enough that its actually halogen and not LED.
They are not made for led makes light very dim
No optic on market is made for rebased LED bulbs. The question is which works best . All of these options are brighter than the original halogen bulb.
@@LightwerkzGlobal high end halogen bulb gives me better brightness than led bulb talked about led bulb cost 90$ not cheap led good for reflector but projector
@@Live-life.. You are using the wrong LED bulbs then. Costs aside - these are much more powerful than any halogen bulb.
wait so none of them are even legal ? are all the people using these just braking the law no questions asked?
Due to DOT regulations, many of the LED'S on the market have to be sold as "fog light use" or "off road use" only. Technically, one would be in violation of DOT standards by running these as a high or low beam, but it's highly unlikely you'd be getting pulled over. With so many vehicles coming stock with LED headlights, the average traffic cop isn't gonna be able to tell the difference between a stock LED vehicle and one that's had LED'S swapped in place of the original halogen bulbs.
Its unfortunate that different tests for the same brands, get entirely different results. For example: GtR and Morimoto 3.0 . Another channel on YT( car light reviews) had the best results with GTR, followed by Morimoto . This negates the findings and see who did the most accurate testing, including evaluation of voltage drop off, lux, lumens , construction quality, adjustability for 3 and 9 positioning, fan design , kelvin color, and warranty length. This test, no offense, was of little to no help. Perhaps a more detailed breakdown and details on the installation would get more accurate and trustworthy.
No offense taken at all! Take what you see here with a grain of salt. Majority of any of these tests will come down to the optic that is used. Every projector and reflector will produce different results. Manufacture specs (details) and installation (same for every brand) make little to no difference. Real world performance, longevity, and reliability is all it comes down too. LED bulbs are never a one size fits all approach. We have enough experience to give a recommendation on what may work best on any particular model car. If you would like to discuss, please reach out!
