You can get Halogen Bulbs, which are MUCH brighter than the original Incandescents. As for those LEDs, they should NOT have got hot like that, the production of so much heat indicates some kind of short circuit.
I got the same bulbs for my 2007 Accord and I did the same test. I noticed that the black part of the bulb that connects to the harness does not feel hot to the touch but that top part does feel hot like the OEM bulbs are also hot to the touch.
Thank you for a thorough and unbiased review. I'm thinking that maybe a less bright version with a lower wattage may be the solution to the glare as well as the heat while running all 4 flashers in excess of 5 minutes. These are both valid concerns of mine. Thanks again and let's hope LASFIT responds favorably!
For normal everyday driving they are fine. But if you're a taxi / uber driver (where you use your hazzards more frequently) the heat resistors will d/c the bulb as a heat overload safety mechanism causing the temporary hyperflash.
i have the same type of bulb for my rear turn signal and everytime i have the hazard on it goes out of sync and then when i use the turn signal after i turn the hazards off it starts hyperflashing... what can b the cause?
Thanks for the unbiased review! Bacause of the much nicer and brighter LED's with that instant on-off blinking, I was planning to buy the Hilox Evolution II what is the same bulb, probably imorted from the USA as Lasfit is not available here in The Netherlands. They are much more expensive too, around 70 euro for one pair. The problem are not the LED's itself, but the build-in resistors to prevent hyperflashing. The resistors have to dissipate around 20 watt to imitate the load of the incandescent bulbs to prevent hyperflashing so the heat builds up rapidly in that small bulb housing. The aluminium housing of the Lasfit bulb looks nice but it won't help much eather. The heat simply can't get away fast enough. This could not only be dangerous by melting the plastic of your car light housings, the bulbs will not last long either. Electronics, LED's and a lot of heat is not a good combination for a long lifespan. The only solution is using external resistors with heatsinks that you mount in a safe place, preferably attached to a blank metal part of the bodywork for optimal cooling and then ofcourse using LED bulbs without internal resistors or anti-hyperflash protection.
Good review, one thing to note... They are supposed to get hot due to a built in resistor. After a certain temp is reached, the resistor is shut off and you will experience the hyper flashing. They shouldn’t be hotter than your typical incandescent bulbs..... If you really wanna get burnt touch some halogen or HID bulbs 😂😂. However it looks overwhelmingly bright in your application.
this happened to me too when I installed the same led lights They were not blinking equally until later they synced together and worked well so far they are working fine and I really don't care about the heat I believe its a can-bus error issue thats why they didn't synced equally
any led bulb has built-in error-free ( built-in resistor) got hot so fast i try them and many another brand same things to bring the heat down if you want you can add resistors. but im not sure if the resistor will bring down the brightness because of the resistor its only 50 wats.
To avoid the unreliable hyperflashing after continuous use of 2 minutes or longer, I suggest looking into the new Error Free Turn Signal Bulbs with a Cooling Fan
Upgrading to LED is to be brighter than incandescent bulbs. You might have had a bad pair because I run those in my car and wife's car and have no problem. As with the heat they are no hotter than the incandescent bulbs. Again you might have received a bad pair
how long did they last? did they ever hyperflash over 2 minutes of blinking? If the car is driven for normal everyday use i wonder about the durability of the bulb, even though they are not constantly on like a headlight.,,,
@@pictureperf I didn't have an issue in normal everyday use, the 1 time I had an issue was in my car was on a extremely hot day in slow traffic in the turn lane it started to hyperflash and then shortly afterward it started to blink irregular and that was after 7 minutes. After I had turned them off to allow them to cool off they worked normally. and that was only once
I know this is an old video, but you might want to do a little research on how these things work before commenting incorrectly about being a fire hazzard. These lights have built in CANBUS resistors that eliminate hyperflash. The resistors are what cause the heat, and not the LED's. That's what resistors do, slow down electricity flow and cause heat. Look at the bottom of your oven. You see a big one that turns red and cooks your food. Because they are contained within the lights, the heat builds after a few mintutes. The circuitry turns the resistors off after they get so hot and the result is the wierd flashing, thus the resistors are shut off and stop generating heat and don't get any hotter resorting to hyperflash. Fire hazzard ended. The only other way around this is to buy the external (usually gold colored) resistors you wire into the system. Those have no ability to shut off if they get too hot. Take your risk on those if you choose to. LASFIT makes it clear that if you are someone that runs your hazzard lights for any amount of time over a few minutes they probably aren't for you as they will flash in wierd patterns but they certainly don't cause a fire hazzard if you do. Once they cool down flash returns to normal.

This guy is just a complainer you are knocking the best led lights on the market today, I had them for years on all my cars I never had a problem, a friend of mine is running the head lights led on a Dodge Ram pickup for over 3 years now and they still going with no issues, I have them on on both of my Chevy Tahoe and I can’t be any happier yes I have this on the video you putting down so far they are the best ones I ever bought from them and brightest you shouldn’t be knocking peoples business like that that’s not right I back them up because I been buy there products now for years never had any issue, of course they are gonna get hot thats why they have the heat sink, you ever had HID lights why don’t you touch one of those then tell me how hot those get they’ll take your skin off HID been around for almost 25 years now never heard any problems,
Having the load resistor in the bulb is a silly idea. Better off getting a led flasher can or as a last resort those load resistors. Heat will eventually fry the circuitry in the bulbs
@@vavrespaddr7290 Which would mean that the flasher will blink quickly no? if there is no load because it's being bypassed to prevent it from overheating.
The manufacturer actually responded in the comments sections here in the video, however after some deliberation they decided to delete their comments. Their argument went something along the lines of, " it's unreasonable to expect that a turn signal would be on for several minutes at a time. This is common sense" I argued that the turn signal is the same light bulb that is used as the hazard signals, which can be on for a prolonged amount of time far beyond the five minute threshold. A failing inconsistent hazard lights is a danger to the driver. They did not provide a response to that statement.
A few times in the video I said halogen -
*I did not mean halogen, I meant to say incandescent*

Running hazards with a funky flash pattern would actually draw more attention in a true hazard situation. Lol

The wattage of the LED's are not the probem, the build-in resistors to prevent hyperflash are. The heat cannot go away.
For normal everyday driving they are fine. But if you're a taxi / uber driver (where you use your hazzards more frequently) the heat resistors will d/c the bulb as a heat overload safety mechanism causing the temporary hyperflash.
Very nice. Thanks for the information. I was interested in these bulbs. However, I didn't realize that they had a heat issue.

It's not resistors it's kinda mosfet chips
Thanks a lot that is very helpful. I think you are right about the heat! Well Done
Thanks for letting us know,considered buying but now I won't.
Did you ever reach out to the mfg? What did you end up doing with them?

Probably ru. Extremely hot bc in your car they are constantly on. Idk if this product was designed to be constantly on (in the back)
did lasfit get back to you ? how was customer service?
Hey bro buil 7449 have done Honda Pilot. 2021 anti hybrid
this happened to me too when I installed the same led lights
They were not blinking equally until later they synced together and worked well
so far they are working fine and I really don't care about the heat
I believe its a can-bus error issue thats why they didn't synced equally
I looked at lasfit's website and they state it themselves that when they get hot it'll start to hyperflash
any led bulb has built-in error-free ( built-in resistor) got hot so fast i try them and many another brand same things to bring the heat down if you want you can add resistors. but im not sure if the resistor will bring down the brightness because of the resistor its only 50 wats.

Just bought these exact bulbs after a minute or so they start hypersflashing and get too hot, dont recommended them
The rear headlight is called a tail light housing🤣

If led getting hotter i don't want to replace the stock bulb
Thanks I cancel my orders for that sh…
Send them back if they didn't work for you
The company that owns this product sent them to me to be reviewed. This review is based on the review sample I received.
I got the same bulbs for my 2007 Accord and I did the same test. I noticed that the black part of the bulb that connects to the harness does not feel hot to the touch but that top part does feel hot like the OEM bulbs are also hot to the touch.
Horrible review has no idea what he's talking about and didn't research them at all
59$ 🤣🤣🤣

No it won’t
They're specifically designed so that the load resistor will be bypassed in the event of excessive heat, and thus, no more heat will be generated.
