I’m running the S4 H11 Lowbeam in a Projector and F16 H7 Highbeam Reflector . Had them a year no issues , no blinding oncoming drivers and no flickering .
I bought some aftermarket LEDs for my car. The little colored plastic sheets go onto the glass covering the led. LEDs will blind oncoming drivers but most people don't install the bulbs the right way. My LED's are adjustable so that you can ensure the light pattern is correct for the low beam and not up high blinding others. I used the blue film on the bulb and tested it by asking some people if my lights are blinding them while they drive, they said no. If the lights do not have the right orientation you might as well be driving around with your high beams on.
I believe the film pieces included in the box are for aiming your headlights. Notice the "cross" built in? They also help lower the brightness to make it easier to see the pattern on a flat surface and more accurate.
I've tried them all, including these. They all run very hot and either the diode fries out or the fan burns out. All lasted no longer than about 9 months. Save your time and money and get a quality HID kit like Morimoto.
Exactly Good HID will always be better than these led replacements if its too bright it will eventually fry and if it too dim to make it last you will be having trouble driving at night
Replaced my OEM HID's with the OSRAM Nighbreaker bulbs, bought from Retrofitsource. Light output were incredible, miss the HID's, had to replace car, and my new vehicle came with halogen. Still researching my HID options, LED aftermarket are not that good, OEM LED's are better, but HID are better.
The reviews I've seen have them being tested in both, they will work in both my car truck and even my snowmobile, they come with either low beam or low and high.
After watched this video, I was very impressed with the "fan-less", "all-in-one unit" feature and the White color LED light spectrum, I went ahead and purchased 2-sets (H11 for low beam and 9005 for high beam/DRL). Unfortunately, the amount of light these bulbs can project are"shorter" than of my OEM halogen bulbs. I was very disappointed and feel these bulbs should only qualify for fog lights (not headlight). BTW, the heatsink does get hot to touch after ~15-minutes of operation, so wait awhile before handling it ... One more comment about reviewing headlights, don't look at the headlights head-on or looking at the light pattern on a wall, but go outside and actually drive around with them to see how far/wide the light beam can actually project (also to determine if too much glare that calls for readjusting the headlight aim).
Hi Jim, Thanks for the install and review. According to the info on Amazon the little stickers that were in the pack are to wrap around the bulb to change the color temp ie darker ect.
Jim I can't remember the last time I replaced a headlamp bulb, years ago with the sealed beams but not so much any more. I bet they last a long time but the fitment has to be OEM . Nice review buddy ....
Jim, the rubber dust cover can be install , after you put the locking pin, put dust cover and then the bulb , the fan will remain outside rubber dust cover .
Have you done an install on Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ? Would like to see a video on the install and see how they do it with the bulb housings having those hard plastic covers of each bulb housing.
Without that weather seal in place behind the bulb housing, isn't there a higher risk of contaminants getting to headlight compartment or condensation? Or is there some kind of other seal with the new led bulb housing that prevents this?
Pretty good video except we need to see the headlights at night at distance. Can you video the same setup outdoors at night somewhere where we can see the distance and spread of the LED vs the stock halogen? I have an 05 Accord with the worst headlights in the history of cars and am considering my options to improve the light output. Thank you.
Nice review Jim I'm surprised they didn't tell in the instructions what the colored film was for they are for the different color temperatures white yellow blue so on keep up the good work 👍
I love your energy and enjoy your videos. I drive a 2004 BMW 325, I installed aftermarket projector lamp with hids but they don't do the trick, my beam is not bright enough. Can you please recorded an led lighting kit under 75 dollars. Also will they trow a code do I need a kit with a resistor built in. Thanks a million.
Again, sorry Jim. But I’ve seen accidents first hand that were the result of HIDs and LEDs installed in non projector housings. It’s too bright “locally,” and gets “thinner” distribution unless properly housed, collected and scattered through a semi spherical lens, aka, projector housing.
This CRV generation has a DRL function that strobes the stock bulbs at a low voltage, which would cause the LED bulbs to flicker/strobe. Did you see the flicker with this kit?
those plastic deals, blue, yellow an clear are used to change the color of the light projected by forming a cylinder (think tube) around the housing shaft....also those dust covers have to be trimmed to allow air but at the same time keep dust out.
what about high beam,I think ballast box is coming with hi and low beam model ,also you cam fix whether protection cab after fixing the o ring socket and before the led bulb pleas confirm.....
price of the new models with built in fans is about 60 bucks on amazon, same price as a high quality halogen, so I don't see a down side to trying them, only problem is those doing city driving, with bored cops will get pulled over if you aren't using projector lamps, very bright to on coming traffic
I would like brighter lights for my 05 Envoy, but I am concerned about the low voltage that runs the DRL affecting these bulbs. I am afraid this might cause premature burnout or LED blinking because of this, and so I'm curious to know if these issues are addressed with these bulbs. Thanks for the info and video.
Running a lower voltage won't effect the diodes themselves so there shouldn't be any problems. Unless there is more going on in that little heat sync housing that is
Hi Jim. These LED's are getting popular. Any feed back on other drivers complaining about being blinded? Thanks for the info...worth thinking about at least.
I am 76 yrs old and my vision isn't what it once was. I have trouble driving against bright lights at night. Sometimes I know drivers have their brights on but there are too many of them for that to be the only problem. Some of the newer cars have bright headlights that are almost blinding. Bright lights are nice to have when they are on your car and help you see better, but they are tough to drive against if you have a problem with glare. I avoid driving at night as much as possible, but I can't avoid it all the time.
You may be right. I see just fine in the daylight and I limit my night time driving to short distances on roads I am familiar with. However, I have mentioned this to other friends and family and some of them also think the bright lights are hard to drive against. It is undoubtedly my poor eyesight that is contributing to this problem, but I still think some of the lights are too bright. Thank you for your comment.
HEya,good vid mate.You probably get asked alot but will there be no problem with not putting the rubber sealing back on somehow?I mean i hope the answer is no but i want to know for sure
Mine came in a hideous shade of bright gold, I wish they would have been black. I used the 9005 and 9006 in my 98 s10, and with proper aiming I don't get high beamed for blinding othe drivers. They are best in projector housings, but some standard reflector housing can be acceptable with proper aiming. Be wary of your headlight design before spending the money on these bulbs, as they start at $60 per pair. It would suck to have to pull them out after getting a ticket or 2 for spilling too much light at other drivers.
little plastilc sheets are for effects I bet, so if you do not like the 6000K light color you put the yellow sheet over the bulbs so you can more yellowish look
I wouldn't ever put in a bulb into a housing for which the housing is not designed. A filament in a regular bulb forms a curve, and ever projector and reflector is meant to focus along that whole arc. In an HID, those systems are designed to focus along the whole arc. These LEDs are just a flat circle of light. Nothing is designed for these slap-in bulbs, and especially reflector housings will cause blinding glare to oncoming drivers, not to mention the pattern emitted will not be what it's supposed to be. There are a few sealed-beam LED conversions which I bet blast things like this out of the water. People also get these conversions for the high color temperature, because it looks brighter when they stand outside and look at it. When driving in the real world, with things like weather, systems like this are a mistake.
also for fog lights, never, never change the original bulb because as they described are for fog and the temperature of the factory bulbs is the best in fog driving conditions
There is no disputing that the light is superior to the stock bulb. I have a concern that not being able to re install the rubber seal will lead to moisture accumulation in the headlight assembly. This should have been addressed by the manufacturer.
Yes I agree with you there should be a seal over the top to keep out the moisture but the light did have an O ring to keep the moisture out of the lens area.Thank you for watching and your input.
I have LED's in my Truck but have a problem switching from low to high beam. I get a delay about a couple seconds, what means you drive at night blind. Has somebody else the same issue? What can I do to fix the problem.
Hi Jim, one sugestion, audio on youtube is 50% of your video sucess, please for listening sake, make sure all doors are close and the echo is to a minimal, cheers , just a sugestion, nothing more
dear jimthecarguy, please also let people know that these kind of modifications are illegal in most countries. the reason is the following: when light beam comes out from the halogen bulb it gets reflected by a reflector housing headlight which was designed for halogen type bulbs. when you put a no matter what made led to a housing which was designed for especially halogen bulbs, that reflector housing will not reflect the light as the engineers designed it with proper equipment for halogen bulbs and the light coming out will go strait into other people eyes which could cause accidents because of the temporal blindness caused by a not properly reflected light coming from led bulb. in short, this is dangerous. you have a lot of subscribers, you have responsibility. please do say that it is not recommended at all.
Thank you for your input.This is an e mail that I received from the company Auxbeam regarding your concern. I probably wouldn't agree what the guy said. What he brought up is not only the issue of a LED bulbs but all the non-original bulbs. When two cars meet, both cars need to turn on low beam so as to avoid car accident. Some of the cheap knock offs (not only LED but also HID halogen ) could be dangerous because they either use really bright color or the beams don't have a curve like this: 内嵌图片 1 You might want to test out the bulbs you received from Auxbeam to see if they have this angle or not. This is to protect driver from being blinded when two cars meet. We also have the films go with the headlight bulbs to adjust the color just to meet different meets. Besides, there's no rule against replacing halogen bulbs use LED bulbs in the US so far, but in some European countries might have such rule. They can't purchase these lights from our Amazon store, since we can't have them shipped from USA Amazon to other countries except the US.
Those extra plastic film things look familiar - I have a feeling they're to tint the bulbs. I believe they will shrink and adhere to the glass when they get hot. If i'm wrong, someone please chip in!
Yvw. Btw, when you put that black locking plate in...it looked like it was going in around the wrong way. If you turn it so the indented side faces the rear of the housing, I think the light may end up more focused and a little brighter, since the reflector will be picking up more of the light - and possibly the rubber weather boot would fit as the light will be sitting a little deeper into the light housing. Just a thought. And thanks for the great vids - keep 'em coming! ☺
I hate to say it even though I love how bright LED lights are on the road, however they are NOT at all good in the fog. Anyone who has a vehicle with LED's and has been in the fog can attest to this.
according to the info on amazon, ( www.amazon.com/Auxbeam-NF-03-Headlight-Conversion-Bulbs/dp/B01GCH6CWE?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 ) these bulbs are weather resistant so probably no need for the rubber weather seal
Too bad you didn't show a distance comparison between the original bulb on one side and the new LED bulb on the other side. Usually, the LED light bulb is brighter and whiter, but the original bulb may shoot the beam a longer distance.
great video, too bad you spent all that time upgrading to LED headlights and didn't spend the 10 minutes it takes to restore those faded headlight covers lol
As bright seems in headlight so bad they work in diving conditions. the led is a technology in babysteps yet, need a lot of time. every new car sells just for the image, marketing.when you drive in highways you wanna stop and put back the halogen bulbs. the light is pure after some meter and make problems to eyes. you need to focus. you don't wanna know when rains or there's fog outside. don't waste money or if you wanna something better install hid 5000k max. not 6000k.
In fog the yellow light is better - so this blue LED is useless. Btw, do a comparative test on road, measure light, talk some about CRI, luminous flux, etc. So far this is not a review.
sir! your review is not complete the strips in the box are to change the color of the led you wrap the bulb with the tint and you didnt show that you put the locking ring in wrong the first time and yes you can put the dust cover on with the led in place and those LED kit are not good at all. if you will like a better product look into a better system. like a CAN-BUS SYSTEM! i sell led kit 4000 lumenes per bulb 8000 total CAN-BUS system
I bought these and would never recommend this brand to anyone. they are very bright from oncoming traffic but the visibility in the vehicle they are installed in is no better than halogen bulbs was highly disappointed.
well blue lights are in fact useless... they don't light up the road, loads of colour is missing from the spectrum. They're great to blind others with, but you yourself as the driver, have next to no light on the ground. In fact look how well the wall is lit up on the left and hardly on the right. I wouldn't upload a video in which I prove myself wrong...
You’re absolutely right. This guy pretends to be a mechanic, and installs LED bulbs in a non projector housing? What an irresponsible and uninformed old school mechanic. Sorry, brotato chip, but you really need educate yourself. If you want to chat about why this is 100% reckless, I’d be happy to help.
Most of the popular brands (including AUXBEAM) use a color temp around 6000K or 6500K - while they aren't as "warm" as the typical halogen lamps they're not like the "for off road use only - non-DOT - HIDs of years past. Many manufacturers including AUXBEAM make "warmer" temperature LED bulbs. As always people should be respectful with their mods.
Thanks Jim, I just did my 95 F150 and my wife's 2011 Kia Soul. This was an extremely easy upgrade to do, after watching your video.
Thank you for your input

not necessarily true, look into these PHILIPS X-TREME ULTINON LED BULB , I've heard from people that have them think they are amazing

Those bulbs are designed for fog lights and as with most less bulbs are NOT for sealed housings.

Thank you now it makes sense.
Jim I can't remember the last time I replaced a headlamp bulb, years ago with the sealed beams but not so much any more. I bet they last a long time but the fitment has to be OEM . Nice review buddy ....
Hi Steve ,I think they must make better bulbs in Canada than in the US.Lol
+jimthecarguy haha our roads are pretty good up here, might be the potholes in NY.
Oh yea the pot holes play a big part.It's OK it's good for business.Lol
+jimthecarguy LOL!!!! I'm with Steve I can't remember the last time I replaced a headlight on my truck 🤔 nice review brother Cheers 🍺🍺
+1Wild CamaroSS thank you .i think Steve was right the pot holes kill the lights

very good video. the hose from back eventually enter or prevents the fan
This is great! My Chevy has 'em, but my daughter's '08 Exploder needs 'em. Thanks for the time you spent!
Thank you for watching and your input
Good that you only change one light and video to show the new and old. Thanks,
Thanks for watching.

Fabrication of the rubber gasket is a must bc that controls moisture going into the lamp housing.
Nice review Jim I'm surprised they didn't tell in the instructions what the colored film was for they are for the different color temperatures white yellow blue so on keep up the good work 👍

Nice review of the LED headlights. They should last a long time.
No they dont this is main reason they keep constantly changing their design so people keep buying them as they look different
Unlike Steve Rob I always seem to be changing headlights. Might have to look into these. Thanks Jim
To be honest I was very surprised how bright they are..
Not unless you have a projector housing. Don’t be this guy. This irresponsible and reckless mechanic, please, man.
Again, sorry Jim. But I’ve seen accidents first hand that were the result of HIDs and LEDs installed in non projector housings. It’s too bright “locally,” and gets “thinner” distribution unless properly housed, collected and scattered through a semi spherical lens, aka, projector housing.

I installed some led's on my 06 jetta and got my rubber seals back on with no problem at all
Thank you for your input
those plastic deals, blue, yellow an clear are used to change the color of the light projected by forming a cylinder (think tube) around the housing shaft....also those dust covers have to be trimmed to allow air but at the same time keep dust out.
Sam Moss Thanks for your input.
looks a lot brighter good job
Oh yes for sure.

Nice review. They should be brighter & last longer than OEM
Yes they should last a long time.I know that they have a 1 year warranty.Thank for your input.Jim
Those films are to change the colour temperature of the light from the bulb. Some people may want a warmer looking light than the standard.
Thank you for watching and your input
I am not a fan of these types of LED headlight bulbs. Oh and by the way the thin sheets you got with the lights are filters for the bulbs. -John

What model do I need for 2000 Civic and Ferrari F40?
Without the gaskets/boots covering the lights, will moisture/water kill those lights?
HEya,good vid mate.You probably get asked alot but will there be no problem with not putting the rubber sealing back on somehow?I mean i hope the answer is no but i want to know for sure
Mine came in a hideous shade of bright gold, I wish they would have been black. I used the 9005 and 9006 in my 98 s10, and with proper aiming I don't get high beamed for blinding othe drivers.

Be wary of your headlight design before spending the money on these bulbs, as they start at $60 per pair. It would suck to have to pull them out after getting a ticket or 2 for spilling too much light at other drivers.
little plastilc sheets are for effects I bet, so if you do not like the 6000K light color you put the yellow sheet over the bulbs so you can more yellowish look
if it hasn't been said already but my guess is those are tiny for the bulbs for different color
Great review and info. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and your input
Are those still the Honda OEM headlight assy's you are installing the LED's in?
Good review Jim !
Plug & play is convenient!
Hi Thomas,Great idea no cutting wires or install a ballast.
I wouldn't ever put in a bulb into a housing for which the housing is not designed. A filament in a regular bulb forms a curve, and ever projector and reflector is meant to focus along that whole arc. In an HID, those systems are designed to focus along the whole arc. These LEDs are just a flat circle of light. Nothing is designed for these slap-in bulbs, and especially reflector housings will cause blinding glare to oncoming drivers, not to mention the pattern emitted will not be what it's supposed to be. There are a few sealed-beam LED conversions which I bet blast things like this out of the water. People also get these conversions for the high color temperature, because it looks brighter when they stand outside and look at it. When driving in the real world, with things like weather, systems like this are a mistake.
Do you ever proof read?
Yes.
Tim Ramich
also for fog lights, never, never change the original bulb because as they described are for fog and the temperature of the factory bulbs is the best in fog driving conditions
how did the oncoming traffic react to the lights??
Have the same light bulbs and bright look very high how can move down
There is no disputing that the light is superior to the stock bulb. I have a concern that not being able to re install the rubber seal will lead to moisture accumulation in the headlight assembly. This should have been addressed by the manufacturer.

No question is brighter.....my only concern is if it's gonna be reliable or its just gonna last 6 months
The lights carry a 1 year warranty which is better than the regular lights out there.
I have LED's in my Truck but have a problem switching from low to high beam. I get a delay about a couple seconds, what means you drive at night blind. Has somebody else the same issue? What can I do to fix the problem.

with out that rubber seal cover, you're going to get dust in the housing of the headlight. make a video of how bright it is at night on the road.
Cool
Those extra plastic film things look familiar - I have a feeling they're to tint the bulbs. I believe they will shrink and adhere to the glass when they get hot. If i'm wrong, someone please chip in!
Wow thank you I had no idea.I never saw them before.

Too bad you didn't show a distance comparison between the original bulb on one side and the new LED bulb on the other side. Usually, the LED light bulb is brighter and whiter, but the original bulb may shoot the beam a longer distance.
looks like auxbeam uses cheap latticebright LEDs instead of quality ones from Cree
great video, too bad you spent all that time upgrading to LED headlights and didn't spend the 10 minutes it takes to restore those faded headlight covers lol
As bright seems in headlight so bad they work in diving conditions. the led is a technology in babysteps yet, need a lot of time. every new car sells just for the image, marketing.when you drive in highways you wanna stop and put back the halogen bulbs. the light is pure after some meter and make problems to eyes. you need to focus. you don't wanna know when rains or there's fog outside. don't waste money or if you wanna something better install hid 5000k max. not 6000k.
What's up with the annoying noise in the background. I think they're doing it on purpose
No not on purpose .That's just road noise.
In fog the yellow light is better - so this blue LED is useless. Btw, do a comparative test on road, measure light, talk some about CRI, luminous flux, etc. So far this is not a review.
You sound like you must be very intelligent Why don't you do a review of the lights so I can watch yours.
sir! your review is not complete the strips in the box are to change the color of the led you wrap the bulb with the tint and you didnt show that you put the locking ring in wrong the first time and yes you can put the dust cover on with the led in place and those LED kit are not good at all. if you will like a better product look into a better system. like a CAN-BUS SYSTEM! i sell led kit 4000 lumenes per bulb 8000 total CAN-BUS system

BJ Wilson fuck I just bought them
well blue lights are in fact useless... they don't light up the road, loads of colour is missing from the spectrum. They're great to blind others with, but you yourself as the driver, have next to no light on the ground. In fact look how well the wall is lit up on the left and hardly on the right. I wouldn't upload a video in which I prove myself wrong...
These Led and hid lights blind other drivers, especially on reflector lenses. I really hate these after market kits on cars and trucks.
You’re absolutely right. This guy pretends to be a mechanic, and installs LED bulbs in a non projector housing? What an irresponsible and uninformed old school mechanic. Sorry, brotato chip, but you really need educate yourself. If you want to chat about why this is 100% reckless, I’d be happy to help.
more blue is more natural light?really...
I'm disappointed that these are blue lights. They are very unpleasant to meet on the highway.
Most of the popular brands (including AUXBEAM) use a color temp around 6000K or 6500K - while they aren't as "warm" as the typical halogen lamps they're not like the "for off road use only - non-DOT - HIDs of years past. Many manufacturers including AUXBEAM make "warmer" temperature LED bulbs. As always people should be respectful with their mods.
they are garbage, im fighting with the company now to accept a return of these poor quality leds.
