Which Headlights are best??
Dear but blue light from led is not good for drivers
Halogen bulbs are d best always
I really like halogen bulbs but they are too hot and make the projector look old fast. I want to install any warmlight LED now. 😑
@@mayurs7760 My 15 years old car driver side fog lamp is still shine brightly since 15 years ago, i did change passenger side fog lamp and headlight bulb, but that driver side fog lamp still shining 👍
LED for performance, but I prefer the color of halogen
For my truck and my eyes, the colour and patterns of halogen provide superior visibility and do not cause drive fatigue. The LEDs just bleed white everywhere (washout) resulting in poorer definition and object recognition - as well as leaving my head buzzing after only a few hours of night driving.
Snow wil cover the led light, but not halogen.
You could just get LED's with lower kelvins. Not that hard is it?
I knew I couldn't be the only one I started to notice it a couple days ago after installing the LEDs they are not good at all I can hardly see anything I'm going back to halogens the led hype is no more for me
I think the one thing people forget to check (because it is a difficult test), is how blinding LED lights are to the opposite side of traffic which will be a great test, I personally prefer the lights that came from the factory, whatever they are, my reason being that they are most suited to the car
you talk like a grandpa
Even though there not as bright , halogens could also blind the other side of traffic, it would be great to also add that factor to the test.
Jeepers change them out and run around with 4 lights on at all time…Like Helen Keller’s.
It's because they're not aligned properly
@@Undisputed_King exactly led bulbs have a cutout if aligned properly where it won’t blind ppl
Wish the LEDs had a lower Kelvin. Halogens are better in poor weather conditions, LEDs are better in clear, dry conditions. I want LEDs to have more light output in the yellow spectrum
Use halogen fog lamps and/or dipped beams. I only use LEDs for high beams otherwise good halogens are bright enough like Phillips white vision or Xtreme vision, or osram night breakers. The only problem is that they don't last as long as LEDs.
This man is taking the time to visually show us headlights! Thanks Nates!
I prefer the slight yellowness of the halogen. They'd be better in the rain
Halogen lights are very outdated and make your car look a lot OLDER.
@@jesseortega4964 Bruh here we got an fashioned driver HALOGENS ARE CLEARER AND EASIER FOR YOUR EYES
@@jesseortega4964 Supercars especially professioanl racers chosoes yellow over white
@@jesseortega4964 I could care less 😂
The halogens looked better, less bright to preserve some night vision and not blind animals or other drivers.
I've tried and switched back and forth during actual driving. Believe or not, stock halogens have better visability then brigher LED headlights. The whiter light causes lots of reflections on the pavement and turns yellow medians and lines white and it masks pavement and concretee such as curbs. The LEDs also seem to have a narrower field of view at their sides.. The yellower halogen lights are the way to go if you have aging eyes. Additionally LEDs white light blinds oncoming drivers too.
That's either because they weren't aligned properly or the car was optimally designed for halogens.
@@Undisputed_Kingagreed this sounds exactly like someone didn’t do their homework and aimed their diodes vertically instead of horizontally 😂
@@Undisputed_King bullshit. I pass stock vehicles with LEDs every day. The difference is warm light versus cold light and how they effect the human eye. If you drive in hills, aiming is a non-factor. A halogen on hills is far more forgiving than LEDs that focus intensity on your eye level. It really doesn't take a genius.
@@654Crossman MAny stock vehicles dont have LEDs, they have HIDs
Best comparison video I've seen. Tks man.
I'm talking to you about a recent experience that happened to me: I installed LED lights on my Toyota Prado, and I spent $30, the light was noticeably annoying to others, but the vision for me as a driver was really not perfect, especially at a distance of 10 to 30 metres, Especially in dark and not properly paved roads where you need to see the details, which prompted me to reinstall the halogen exactly as it came from the factory... Someone may tell me that we have tests, figures and measuring devices... I do not deny these tests, but I speak from experience. LED light only annoys others and has a greater effect on others, but it is no better than halogen light for the driver of the vehicle.
Led bulbs in headlights designed for halogens give terrible beam pattern. It causes glare to other users while also reducing visibility to the driver. However poeple stilk recommend them
did you try them in projector or reflector type headlights? also, huge difference in LED bulbs when it comes to the actual diode placement, hence the variance in projection and pattern.
Lol I was driving on the highway with my yellow halogen lights along with many other cars . Out of the blue came a Toyota Innova with a bright white light . We were cruising almost on parallel lanes and i just could see the huge difference in his and mine light setup. The road looked crystal clear in his white light which were also considerably brighter. And all that on low beam cause when he used the high beam i could see so far away. Have me hooked on those and am looking at white lights to replace my halogens ASAP
DOnt expect anything good out if a led set for 30... Entry level for good ones is around 100$ its not about how expensive its about longevity and output mainly
Leds cause ither people to drivr blind
According to hidrevolution's channel the gtr lighting ultra 2 have the highest lumens but they're $200 for a pair :-/ you've got to remember that projector and reflector headlight housings are gonna have different output in lumens even though it's the same bulb.
LED form a brighter light spot in front of the vehicle. This bright spot may affect how the eye sees objects in the dark at the periphery of the visual field.
I understand that LED shows more lux, but I like halogen more.
LED is brighter but it will destroy your peripheral vision, you can actually drive with your lights off and still see, except it's illegal. The ultimate would be a good set of PIAA (or equivalent) yellow driving/fog lights as an auxiliary option. And where is HID headlights in this equation?
You dont live in the country do you. You cant see nothing without headlights lol@@d.s7741
Thanks for the video.
the best type of bulb is double sided csps leds by far in terms of beam pattern and lighting, a set of bulbs under 20$ with 20 watts should give double lighting than halogens , on 2:54 you clearly see halogen has brighter hot spot
Two important comments, what about blinding the oncoming drivers and does led really work well on high beam illuminating the most important part further ahead?
it seems like the LED you installed in your car works well and has no glare at all than what what Hid Revolution has previously indicated with this type of LED, and it looks like it worked well with the Projector headlight of that particular Hyundai Accent. I get annoyed by owners who put LED lights in their car without professional advice and end up spreading glare on the road and blinding us at the same time their choice of led doesnt omit enough light to improve their visibility
Love my LED bulbs, my highbeams are h1 and low beams are h7, i converted my h1 into led and they are super bright, love how i can see so much more details, on the road im going to upgrade my low beams to led aswell for maximum definition on the road.
Thanks buddy. Good useful video.
I think we should also consider the lifespan of the fans that comes with LED lights. What happens now if one day they just fail to cool the lights?
Then warranty them out through a reputable company. Simple as that! I bought my LEDs from Headlight experts and they honor a lifetime warranty. They back their product. Companies that don't, beware. Anyway, my LEDs have yet to fail me after two years and thousands of hours on the road at night. They look incredible too! People always compliment them.
They are cheap. Replace them when you get your brake pads checked or oil checked.
“headlaits”
Nice
No
Test LED vs Halogen during Rainy Season.
Very helpful
To me a no brainer, LED's. Ima getting me some asap! Thanks
Great Comparison. Thank you
Nice short video with a lot of information. Well done.
Nate, thank you, thank you, thank you! Great video. great job!!!!
Let's settle it once and for all. LED looks very bright, but does not illuminate surrounding well. When you use headlight, not only you want to see where you lights go but more importantly the objects the light illuminates. In other words, the ambient halogen creates is way better than LED so you see where the light goes but also the surrounding from the ambience it creates. Just in case if you haven't noticed, LED is really annoying for upcoming traffic. Maybe we should also care about others.
How about visibility in heavy rain both led and halogen.
Thanks
You should've adjusted the cutoff height, some LED kits need to recalibrate the beam height
@@user-mj5vx8xj8t it matters to oncoming traffic. Consider the safety of others not just yourself
I drive a car with halogen headlights for a reason, vision during heavy rain and fog is much worse with LED headlights. The visibility with halogen headlights are superior to LED’s in allowing you the driver to see objects and situations better.
I recommend using a 2 sided led instead of a 360 degree led, but not 2 sided COB or XHP led chip, maybe ZES or Flip chip led chip.
Why?
@@orelfichman779 Better beam, 2 sided LED's do a better job of placing the light source in the exact same spot.
Haligen is much better for.eye is more relaxed and not getting tired
I drive a lot at night so will go with halogen, too.
Nice Info Bro 👍👍👍
Are Halogen Bulbs More Soothing and less Straining to Ones Eyes ???
You try to discredit Halogen with Sylvania Basic lol! I got Philips RacingVision GT200 in my car with Philips Xenon X-treme Gen2 and I garantee you that these are equal with your led lights even better when it comes to tireness and road conditions. Headlights is for halogen or HID (xenon) only! I put Auxito led bulbs on my 2005 BMW only in the tail and turn signal lights because thats the only way LED is good... for bright signals, not for illumination!!
I tried led but they didn’t turn on during the cold weather and they would blink on and off sometimes. Soo annoying. So I switched to halogen lights
Not only halogen lights are warmer in colour which makes them soother for eyes from the opposite end....which makes them safer. Coz sometimes those LED lights are too bright from other end and makes driver blind ....and vehicle going off road or hitting other vehicles are common now. LED light are brighter and range is also far, which makes driver casual and rash driving at nights are increasing.
Govt. Should ban LED headlamps on vehicle.
Do a review on lighting trendz halogens plz
Hids all the way! LEDs will never surpassed HID systems. once it rains led headlights are next to invisible on the ground.
Are they as plug and play as LEDs? I have heard that the blue light of LED is inferior to halogens when it's raining.
@@freddyr439 Not quite, you need to find a place to mount the ballast, if you're retrofitting HIDs.
i went from halogen to led and Honestly i could see a lot better with led than halogen it mainly demands on which kind leds you get
Very true! My 4 sided led lights are almost invisible when it is raining. Nothing dangerous or unsettling but something to think about.
I have led bulbs and honestly I preferably choose halogen , because led on a rainy or foggy day ain’t it , it just be reflecting back
I believe you have helped me choose the halogen over the LED.
I will just say this... How well can you see the signs on the side of the road, and signs on the bridges as you go under them, what is hiding in the dark area of the LED on the side and above with LED?
I have 4 sided LED's on my 2015 Nissan Sentra and I love them! I do a lot of road trips and highway driving. I leave and drive all night as I preffer to drive at night than during the day. Anyways I preffer the LED headlights as they give me a wider & father view which here in Colorado is very important due to wildlife. A lot of people are saying they are very straining for your eyes I have never had that issue in the slightest even in 10 hour plus continuous driving. My only complaint is reduced visibility during rain compared to my old stock halogens. Conclusion the pros outweigh the cons and I do recommemd them!
LED lights have a much further view sure.
But in terms of width, I don’t think so.
@@grm0x4q12 Depends on the bulb, the 2 sided led's are closer to halogen bulbs and are narrower, 4+ sided tends to be more of a flood light effect.
Thank you for this comparison. I just ordered a set of LED headlights!
I would go with LED if I could find an option for my Lincoln MKX 2011 AWD. It comes with Xenon bulbs and haven't been able to find LED compatible bulbs.
Check audew company in the link i provided.
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO Couldn't find an option for my car, just contacted them via their website let's wait for an answer. THANKS MAN.
Why do you want to downgrade?
@@TopiasSalakka It would be upgrading my SUV is 2011 and the Xenon technology wasn't very good, the light is not very good and my other newer car comes with LED and it's much better.
So you are testing a basic halogen to a led...what about the sylvania ultra or osram night breaker unlimited vs the led
Great point, indeed! Those two halogen bulbs should work pretty good although a shorter life span than the OEM.
the high performance halogens will burn out faster than the low performance ones. LED lifespan is longer
Halogens are the best for rainy rides
Which headlots are baest?
can i replace my halogen with an led? or do i need a conversion kit?
What brand they are those halogens?
I will tell you exactly why your test with the lux meter and measuring tape is not going to give realistic results. Whenever you install an aftermarket bulb like an LED or even an HID Bulb it inherently changes optic characteristics. In most cases makes the cutoff rise by a few degrees sometimes even more. What I haven’t seen is them getting lower when putting led bulbs in halogen housings. So with that in mind the led is always going to reach further in that test due to the fact the cutoff is raised meaning light will shine further due to angle more than lighting power superiority. Yours didn’t appear to rise much which is why it only gave about 15 feet extra range of lighting. Still in order to make sure they test the same you’d need to go pull up against a wall in a very dark area. With one original halogen bulb installed on one side and the aftermarket led on the other side, pull straight back and see if the one side with the led bulb starts to shine a bit higher the further you back up. Even if it’s casting light only a quarter inch or so higher at 50 feet, that could be 5 inches higher at 100 feet or 10 inches higher at 150 feet. The problem is unless you can prove that the light isn’t changing the cutoff height whatsoever the results will always come out skewed toward the led in this case. Making it a rigged test so to speak for the led bulb.
Which is better in fog?
All I see just colors white and yellow and they look both same
You should’ve compared the ultra halogen.
Great point, my friend.
If you're driving the car the LED lights are better. However, they are so bright someone may mistake them for hi beam lights. Too bright to for the cars in front of them.
He's from New Zealand or Australia I assume. Good video though
Why is this LED needed? It blinds oncoming drivers, eyes get tired, visibility deteriorates, potholes are not visible if the streets are poorly lit, then bright light is a minus, since the eye will have difficulty seeing distant darkened objects, you have to strain your vision to see something. And the biggest disadvantage is that bright light at night can worsen your vision. It's like watching your phone at maximum brightness in complete darkness.
What do you guys recommend for a Scion Tc ????
no headlights at all
LED is the clear winner here. There is a reason no new cars except for entry level ones use halogen lights anymore.
High power consumption, dim light and short lifespan.
I just LOVE the comments about LED'S in the rain...tell me, JUST how often does it rain, and how long do you spend driving in it you tossers?! 😅😂😅😂😅😂
Interesting comment. Been thinking too how long i drive while raining. LED still the best
@@riflektapetrovilla9149 I've installed them in my car, and they're fine in the rain...👍
An Englishman saying it doesn't rain often? What parallel universe am I in?
I live in western Washington, so quite a bit.
I live near in a lake where rain is almost like everyday. 😅
my eyes more relax to see road if i use halogen.. before this, i also test led, but mind reaction to slow..if i use halogen, more relax and my mind feel more save.. i dont know why..
Very interesting i appreciate you sharing.
Could be the color of BLUE that the Brain can see but you don't !
same here!
Many research says LED lights are bad for eyes!
Good comments, my friend.
50,000 hrs?!! Lmao I'd LOVE to see that happen in real life as mine may last a year. I use 12,000 and just upped to allegedly 20,000 lumen (10k ea). They are brighter but I think more like 15,000 lumens
Mine have probably burned for 10,000 hours and going strong. Buy from a reputable company that backs their product with a lifetime guarantee. I bought mine from Headlight experts. Best LEDs on the market!
can you use LEDs in a conventional older style headlight?
You can. The question is SHOULD you
Yes you can... my baby brother got me some and I feel that they’re awesome man get them
You can, but you shouldn't. The beam pattern is bad for you, and blinding to everyone else
@@TommyTombstone The more I research, the more I agree with you. I will go with halogen for more light than the stock OEM on my Camry.
LED little bit bright than halogen , halogen good for heavy snow and foggy because that one is wham light l guess
6K Halogen H4 vs 6K LED HV4
LED bashers here need to do their research before commenting. LED beams don't scatter if *_ALIGNED PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLATION._* If you want an LED to last longer and, stick to branded fanless types. Those types also tend to have focus points unlike cheap LEDs. They live longer than regular halogens as well as HIDs.
what ever the company puts in the car is pass through various testing which we dont know always...therefore if a car comes with halogens i will prefer that
I love your Texas accent mate
halogen lats are betiful
Halogen much better
POINT IS, WHICH IS BETTER IN HEAVY FOG!
Led
I live in the Pacific Northwest and it's rains alot. My old school 09 Toyota Camry has Halogen lights. Both high beam and low beam and they do real good in the rainy and foggy roads. It's always foggy and rainy here. I drove on a pitch black road while foggy and rainy. I can't say led or hid cuz my car don't have those. But the old school halogen lights in my car do great up here.
@@BryanG830 I still remember we had one hid cars in our honda and the other one wasnt working and it performs amazingly good even tho it was one light the other wasnt working so I came to the conclusion that blue /white lights are better than yellow in fogs
@@_rtx_ will my 09 Camry use led or HID
@@BryanG830 I think Hid cause I never see someone install after market Led (they come fited from company) and about Hids u can get them easily at a shop, our honda was a slightly used car and it had Hids pre installed and btw u hwvr to keep in mind Hids are very hot so dont drive with them everytime, just use for fogs or for flicker
Led is always difficult for rider driving ahead us 🙄
If he has a low variant vehicle 🙄🙄 it would be a night mare to him
I normally just adjust my side view mirrors so that their light flashes back on them.
I stayed for the commentary 😂
LED is much clear then halogens
In clear, dry weather, yes. Not necessarily in dark, rainy weather.
These LEDs should be banned! They blind other drivers on the opposite side.
As much as I agree I'm not going to cry about it I'm just going to buy my own and say fuck u back
Halogen anyday.
My 2021 Corolla se has led headlights and u can see the road in front of you
Yeah you use the basic halogen bulb and not the medium or top performance!!
They look the same
LED ...i have HID in and im not impresed...the FOG loght on my car has LED and that seems even rboghter than the head lights yow lol
😴 "seuri we lah..."

Who the hell invented feet? I have no idea if 100 feet i a lot or not :)
God bro
You don't have feet?
Goolge "feet", then you'll know.
It's about 30 metres.
The Queen of England 👸 for real a foot was her shoe size 👠
Think of it this way. It's about 0.429 hectares. Easy to remember and convert in your head.
Led is better in every way halogen just looks dirty in comparison
Rain n fogs? Led is a big no..
It's only cute in the darkest clear nite...
My LEDs cut through fog like a champion. What the hell are you talking about?
Halogen better
Halogen 6k wins for sure. And you don't have to worry about fixing the drivers (yes these Audew go out quick).
Halogens on my Ram 1500 were POS. I get off work at 3 am and had a hard time seeing ahead. Now, with Morimotos, I can see the road way ahead and my truck looks fancy. Halogens are for old grandpas.
Halogen all the way
jesus christ please end the music, or at least tune it down
U sounds like the guy from forest gump
LED is better
You’re bull! I make LEDs and Halogen light bulbs for cars. And halogen is way far more superior than LEDs on the distance. LEDs are brighter, and will light up things that are closer. But for distance, halogens always wins!!! Stop trying to promote what your selling!!!
I will now go for halogen bulbs for the win. I have been doing research like crazy as I want to change out the H11 bulbs in my 2016 Camry. Guess I will go with Sylvania or Osram halogens.
Led is illegal
