Nobody else shows different numbers between the different color temperatures, even though it would be almost impossible for them to be the same. Really appreciate the thorough review
I think those complaining about the cost don't realize how much research and development costs. Plus they're using top quality components to assemble these lights. You really do get what you pay for. I can't tell you how many cheap aftermarket headlights I've bought for cars in the past that either leaked (filled with condensation), had bad beam patterns, ill fitting screw in bulbs, and even melted pieces.
I had an AMC Eagle Wagon (remember those?) I did the 4-low 4-High conversion....with FOUR relays and 100W/130W H4 Hella E-codes...Had great light for 1990's technology, LOL - Honestly these in 5700K probably have same output as a 80/100 H4 with 25% of the juice consumption!
Love them - my only wish for them is if they would make a middle color temperature. 2700k is a huge difference. I'd prefer something around 4500k myself.
Awesome video. Glad I stumbled across your channel a few days ago as I've been looking to upgrade lighting in my 92 camaro but haven't found a worth while bulb yet
The Holley Retrobright Headlights are not likely to generate enough heat to effectively prevent major ice or snow buildup. LEDs generally run cooler due to their active heat sinks. If ice and snow buildup is a significant concern in your area, you might want to look into brands like JW Speaker, which offer headlights with heated lenses designed specifically for cold climates.
2:20 Having quad low beams on with your high beams isn't necessarily a good thing. Human eye adapts to the brightest source of light and if you have more light on the foreground, you can't see as well further down the road. I'd stick with the dual low beam / quad high beam setup.
These look so good and should be THE only preferred selection, period. That they went for 3000K is excellent! Looks so much better on classic vehicles than anything above 5000K. All crap / bug-eye headlights should be banned from the universe for ever!!!
I've seen all your vids on the 4x6 lights (I think) but no mention of the Oracle Halo 4x6 sealed beam head lights. I assume since you sell them on your site that there good quality? Thanks!
the low beams are 1970 lumen but the philips and JW 4x6's in the other vid only hit 850 lumen? So the holly is more than twice the brightness for lowbeams? Edit: nevermind you measured them as all low beams on at once not the single headlamp like the other test. So really its 1/2 the brightness.
NO you don't Understand....@ 2:00 they are measuring 1970 *LUX* = Which is the output on the wall *in its brightest hot spot* if you had a light meter you would know that is the ONLY way to measure true light output... I have a cheapo, and compared to my friends $500 pro unit its within 3%, which is plenty accurate for my limited use.
@@HeadlightRevolution Not even close. These cheap plastic headlights end up scratched and UV damaged in a couple years. Now if you're comparing them to cheap modern glass headlights, it's a toss up. I've had some hard rock impacts over the years, and even some pretty good chips, but I've never had an original glass light fail from impact damage. I can't say the same about modern plastic lights. They're only good for street use, for a few years.
If you're worried about scratching, apply some PPF film like Lamin-X, that solves that concern. As for UV damage, that's already covered with an OEM grade UV resistant coating. Lamin-X could help with this as well! So they will not fade from the sun. Poly is tougher against impacts, the Holley headlights are UV and scratch resistant out of the box (this can be improved further with a PPF film as mentioned above), and they'll perform better than any other sealed beam headlight on the market. Seems like an obvious choice to me!
Dot says a vehicle should not have more than 2 also when you run quad 4 lowbeam I guarantee you will get plenty of on coming flashes and get cussed out by truckers!
$400 per pair of lights Isn't bad at all, cheaper than most aftermarket LED options honestly. You'll spend much more on other brands or even doing something like Vision-X sealed beam housings with LED bulbs would still be around $300+ and only have about half of the performance these lights do. Glad you enjoy the content but take a look around the 4x6 market and you'll see that these are by far the best bang for you buck light on the market now! Keep in mind when looking at the listings in the link below almost all of them are for a SINGLE light, not even a pair.

No problem!

I'm sure it's pretty comparable, 100w Halogen is no joke!
This is great, like how they kept the 3000k option
We do too!
Love them - my only wish for them is if they would make a middle color temperature. 2700k is a huge difference. I'd prefer something around 4500k myself.
Maybe this will be added in the future!
Agreed, my favorite color temperature is between 4500 and 5500. It seems like everyone either skips to 6k or down to 3k.
Amazing now I need four!!!
Let us know what you think of them!
Get your $760 together for some lights then haha
Awesome video. Glad I stumbled across your channel a few days ago as I've been looking to upgrade lighting in my 92 camaro but haven't found a worth while bulb yet

Now you found the lights! Great product at 1/2 the price of JW Speaker.
How much heat do they generate? Asking as someone who lives in the north where ice and snow buildup is a concern.
The Holley Retrobright Headlights are not likely to generate enough heat to effectively prevent major ice or snow buildup. LEDs generally run cooler due to their active heat sinks. If ice and snow buildup is a significant concern in your area, you might want to look into brands like JW Speaker, which offer headlights with heated lenses designed specifically for cold climates.
How do these compare to something like a Hella 4x6 housing light with a premium H1/H4 LED bulb? Or even a 55W Hella incandescent bulb?
I'm actually looking to put these on a DeLorean since they offer better light output and look factory original

These lights do not have a ton of foreground like some others do. Not much of an issue with that so the quad low beams really do great!
Ihave a 1978 chevrolet caprice classic. Is there anyway I get help on which LED's kits I can choose from.
Absolutely, give us a call or shoot us an email! We'd be happy to help!

Not a bad option, but we prefer the Holley, Morimoto, or JW Speaker!
So what happens on cars with low and high beams in one headlight? Do you lose the high beam function?
Not at all! These are capable of high beam functions as well.
@@HeadlightRevolution fantastic! Thanks.
Is the lux test at 25ft from the wall with 1 headlight?
The light output shots are with two headlights to stimulate the beam pattern you'd see as a driver.
0:17 Actually I DID buy a set of these for my DeLorean.
Hell yeah! We would love to see that!
Could you email over some pictures to
Content@headlightrevolution.com
How much are these for a full set of 4
How do these compare to JW Speaker?
We definitely prefer the Holleys!
@@HeadlightRevolution For the look or brightness?
How many come in a kit ?
You get a pair.
We need h4351 and h4352

Lumens don't tell the whole story, what your looking for is LUX. J.W. Speaker is a top notch product. I'm running them myself and have 0 complaints.
@@mplante7352 im using their own testing numbers. They test in lux at the same distance for every bulb.

@@misters2837 lux with two headlights on at once. The other test of 4x6 lights were one lamp by itself.
Really disappointing that they went with cheap plastic instead of glass lenses.
For the price they charge they should be the finest quality crystal.
Poly is tougher than glass for headlights.

No issues when the lights are aimed properly!
Man I wish these things weren't 175$ each. I need 4 :( lol
Totally worth it!
WAY overpriced, do your research, guys, get these exact same lights for a quarter of the cost.
Exact same lights? Doubtful.
These are the first of their kind and a direct collaboration between Holley and Morimoto!
@@HeadlightRevolution Okay, not exact same but close enough. $800 for 4 lights is steep.

Do your research. Only product that comes close is JW Speaker and they are double the price.
You should show the difference between the 2 colors in the same screen so we can pic which may be best for our own application.
We show both styles in this video.
@@HeadlightRevolution together ? One on top and other in bottom in the same picture?
They come one after another, you can see the difference.
Classic white is more yellow, modern white is a touch blue but closer to pure white.
