    Hids have more directional range while LEDs have more omnidirectional lighting so they have a brighter appearance at close distance but it doesnt travel as far and isnt as precise. But i agree if you love em then thats all that matters, plus they look good lol

      Thank you. I have read all those studies and I agree. May not be for everyone but to me it works better

  • @Dex99SS

    I find that mixing color ranges, primarily on vehicles like these that leave lows and highs on together, give a better result. Often one color range is good in the dry conditions, and another is better in wet, etc... So, having them all on together gives you the best possible lighting scenario in all weather / outdoor conditions. Same premise behind the yellow fogs of old (and new).... that wavelength cuts fog FAR better than any white or blue could ever accomplish... hence mixing works best. Maybe not for aesthetics, but for performance and actual real world use.

    I'm more of a HID guy. I totally agree with you on lowering a 4x4. I used to have a 4" lift and aggressive offroad tires, but the only time it saw offroad was when pulling into a dirt parking lot 😅
    Lowered 4/6 with street tires. SO much better.

    They look good to me. And i like the color also. My wife has a chevy Trax and the projectors are almost yellow and the DLRs are a bright white. Same goes for my Mazda 3, HID projectors are a yellowish color and my fogs have a blueish tint. So I'm always watching You Tube for the best recommendations.

I’ve been wanting to make this switch for a long time. My last move will be to upgrade the low beams. Your recommendation, the Yucgw or the Sinoparcel?

    I just replaced my stock highs and lows with leds from Amazon on my 2017 Yukon a brand called rimthin with built in fans I’m guessing to keep them cool. All together it was about $45. I got lucky and my Yukon doesn’t have the plastic ring just insert and twist thank goodness. Anyway I hope yours are still working. I was curious if you knew of led interior color lights for the courtesy lights and dome lights? Basically when I’d open the door it would light up blue instead of the stock white color. Thanks!

    Good quality LEDs does pretty good. I put the SV4s in my wife truck and she loves it, I love it. In my car I use DDM Tuning Saber 55w Pro X v2. I use to have the GTR lighting ultra 2 LEDs they were ok but DDM tuning Saber 55w LEDs are just brighter and have a tighter, the best beam pattern I've seen from aftermarket LEDs so far. I use to run 45w HIDs and love and miss the intensity and have been thinking of switching back. The GTR LEDs were bright but because the beam pattern wasn't as tight I loss color along the cut-off line and did not get that color flicker. DDM tuning LEDs with it's tighter beam pattern do produce some color along the cut-off line. The HIDs I had produce massive amounts of color and different hughs on the cut-off line. Quality LEDs are bright and the ones I use now have a close to stock beam pattern but I miss the sheer light volume of quality HIDs.
