- Here's Why THESE ARE THE VERY BEST AUTOMOTIVE LEDs YOU CAN BUY!!
This Is THE MOST EXPENSIVE LED YOU CAN BUY!!!
In this video I show the differences between cheap and expensive automotive LEDs. I also show why I think the expensive version is the best! While I do own and have installed a bunch of cheap LEDs, I have learned that you really do get what you pay for. I've had good luck with some, terrible luck with others, but in the daytime running light (DRL) location I just couldn't skimp out. The DRLs are a bulb that runs constantly while driving during the day and therefore I needed an LED that could handle heat. This Sylvania ZEVO 3157 has a giant heat-sink which is just what I needed.

I bought an older version of the 3157 LED bulbs from Sylvania and ran into issues having both a blinker function and a daytime running light function. I called up Sylvania and got a friendly person on the phone who told me the issue had been resolved in their newer version (like the ones you have in your video) and the woman sent me some new ones for free. Incredible customer service and quality
I know this was 3 years ago. But how are ur new sylvania zevo led bulbs? Compare between 2 sides shooting backwards than the 6 led shooting forward? Was their any brightness difference of the zevo led bulbs?
They are still working today. Over 100k miles put on them. I think they are plenty bright. (I have the amber ones)
@@ryanlevihead1419 hell yeah. They are super bright even though they claim it is. It’s the brightest of the least bright led bulbs.
When u look at the amber led light output, doesn’t look awesome just by lookin at it?
It’s sharp and it looks oem plus.
Very unique and a beautiful amber color.
And how’s the brightness difference between ur incandescent bulbs and the new Zevo bulbs?
I bought these lights as well. Sylvania Zevo are quite literally are the best tail light, turn signal, and interior lighting option you can buy. Yes they are expensive but they last forever. They never have any issues or failures. The quality on the bulbs is top notch. Heat dissipation is something Sylvania really focussed on. And Sylvania uses the best LED diodes. They hand to pick them to be the best quality for quality control. 👌👌
I have those same exact LED's in my DRL's for my '00 silverado. 4 years and they're still working just as good as the day I installed them.
terminalfx does the 4114 led work ?
I was think of putting these on my 02 Silverado im.glad I seen this comment
Would they work in place of the bulb next to that one??
@@sean.g4516 not sure, sold that truck a few months ago. The bulb "next to" that would be for turn signals, it may work there also but only if you have orange lenses. I had smoked out lenses and had to find orange LEDs for those sockets. If the stock bulbs for both DRL and turn signals are the same then it's plausible, yes. Another thing to consider is the smaller bulbs on the sides of the turn signal lamps.
@@sean.g4516 I have had these Zevos in my DRLs for about 3 years with no problems. I also have had them in my rear brake and turn signals for a year now also with no problems. So the front turn signal should be the same.
I had the 3157 ZEVO but I found the 3157 Sylvania Silverstar was considerably brighter. The problem with many LEDs are they do not dissipate the light patterns correctly. The reflector lens in the light housing is designed with the light reflecting off with light being output at the correct angle. Many of the brightest LEDs can wash out quickly and actually put out less light than a mid of the line incandescent if it does not reflect the light off the back of the housing correctly.
I have several sets of Zevo LED retrofits, on all of my vehicles including boat, trucks, ATVs, and camper. All have worked without fail for 3 years now.
I have those Zevo's in my forester XT since 2014 and still going perfectly good.
Thanks so much for your videos, I have a 06 Silverado and been doing mini upgrades like these little by little and the parts you show work!
Those look like great quality units. For me, I find even 6000K is still too blue...I prefer 4200K to 5000K, which were hard to find, last I looked. Great video and content.
Agreed! This is a good video but people go overboard on LEDs, especially if the headlights aren't xenon or LED from the factory or properly retrofitted then you have this weird hodgepodge of color combinations.
Ive been using those zevo led for a year both for my taillight/stop light for a year and so far its great and no issues.
Bought a pair for my wife’s car, which kept going through bulbs and it has saved me money actually. Excellent LED bulbs!!!!
I have those interior lights, surprisingly for the price I've had 0 issues with them at all. Good output and color too.
I like the look of LED's, the one draw back I have about them is that they don't get hot enough to melt snow and ice in the winter months.
Biggest aggravation! I’ve got a 19 Subaru STi, real nice fancy LED headlights but snow and ice just covers the headlights making it hard to see driving at night in snow. Last year I had to stop 4 different times on a 60 mile trip just to clear off the headlights to see.
Agree!! Luckily for the heavy trucking world. There are heated lights now and have been for a couple years. But they are 7inch rounds.
Switch to Halogen replacements in the winter months, LEDs back on for springtime if possible.
They look terrible in older vehicles and I can't stand the fact it's next to impossible to get warm white ones.
@@SubiSkank a quality HID system with a proper projector retrofit will outperform any LED by far.
You sold me! Very well presented.
Excellent demo, explanation, and practical application. A+
Great info! I'm going to buy some for my Traverse, Yukon, K1500
Thank you!!!💯👍
Thank you so much for this video Jimmy. I have noticed Walmart started caring these Zevo bulbs and with that, they aren't caring the incident bulbs for my vehicle anymore. I was wondering how these LED bulbs were quality wise because I have spent too much $$ on cheap LED's as well. This video was very helpful! 👍🏼
I had to replace a few of those sockets do to factory bulbs getting to hot! Thanks for the great video's and information on LEDs.
It was a while back I said you'd have 100,000 subscribers. Well...I bet you hit 500,000 before the end of 2020. Way to go Jimmy.
2024 almost 300k
I also have LED headlights and a fleece performance HI-6 mod which allows me to run my low beams, high beams and fog lights at the same time when I turn my high beams on. What a game changer it makes on dark country roads.
Definitely worth the price and warranty. I'd grab a pair of them. Look a lot better than your stock bulbs. Gives the front end a whole new modern look.
Coulda saved ten dollars and bought them on Ebay.....but hey, keep up the great work! Love the Burban! Love the videos man!
I’ve swapped all of the bulbs in my truck with sylvania zevos, they by far have the best color and brightness distinction especially with the turn signals and brake lights, would highly recommend
hell yeah dude thanks some needed info
Thank you for that video jimmy, greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I will follow the rest of your videos
I will be purchasing some this week. Great video Brother
Sylvania es great, I've been using their taillights LED for 4 years with no problem.
No burning out yet?
Got some of those Chinese leds from Amazon and they fail in less than a year.
Thanks for the info
Great video, informative, thank you!
I've replaced almost all of my interior and exterior lights with the Sylvania Zevo's and they work great. Haven't had a problem with them at all, except the cost of course. The cost me almost 15 dollars for two.
I have Zevos in all of my vehicles and it's been 2 years since I've installed them and until now they work great without any issues.
The 9006 Xevos cost $100. Too much.
I appreciate all your research on the LED's! Good videos!
I replaced all my interior lights with these after watching this. Although I wish they were a little brighter you're right! The quality is much much higher and it's not blinding!
👍🏻 good point about buying the best 1st. I bought some LED replacement bulbs for the light over my center Island in my kitchen, 3 of the 6 were already burnt out!!!
Jimmy...I've replaced ALL my stock bulbs on my 2002 S10 with these ZEVO LED bulbs ..They've been on my truck for about 6 months now..so far so good..👍
Great info, I will swap out the lights on my XB for LEDs
Amazing job on this video my friend. Awesome content and well made also 👏.
I have the same bulbs on my 2011 Cruze taillights for about 4 years now and still going strong. Well worth the price.
I've had these zevo type bulbs in my Tahoe reverse, signal, and brake for a year and a half, maybe 2 years. Great bulbs.
Did you have any problems with your turn signals? I replaced all three and my emergency flashers work ok but the turn signals flash rapidly. I've only replaced the rear turn signal bulbs. Guessing i need to add a resistor?
@@MS-es9hm either add resistors or the electronic signal relays are getting more affordable too. I used the resistors myself.
@@MS-es9hm LED flasher relay is the way to go.
Thank you for the video! Idk why no one else made a similar video.
I love this part 9:57! Awesome video!
I bought a set for my daughters 2004 Toyota Celica tail lights and they work great!!!
Great video, thank you!
For lights that are constantly on these bulbs work great. I believe I installed mine last year around feb and have not had to change them out for new ones.
By far silvannia is the better route for leds.
I’m considering buying their h11 led bulbs for my fog lights.
I was going to get the Lasfit led bulbs, but after watching your video I'm going with the Zevo for my Silverado.
I have the same set but in red for my tail lights and they are great, never have to worry about them burning out, i really suggest these!
Great to hear!!
I have a 2006 Yukon and have had these exact bulbs (I used amber) in my daytime running lamps for a couple years now and they have worked flawlessly since I’ve installed them. Would highly recommend these to anyone.
I have these same zevo and they work perfectly fine zero issue so far going into about 7 months
I LOVE these Sylvania bulbs, ive been using them in my 06 F150 for my front running/turn signal bulbs in the Amber bulb. for my rear been running them for my tail/stop/turn along with my back up lamps, i running 2 of the H11 zevo led bulbs to replace the factory h11 halogen fogs. The 194 led Zevo in my license plste lights, and the 921 led Zevo in my high mount brake light along with the 2 cargo lamps.
Using a cheaper Chinese led h13 headlight for now as they were a gift but looking for better so far ive been blown away by the quality of these sylvania led bulbs, i love em
Excellent presentation Jimmy, I bought the Zevos at Autozone previously and you reinforced that I made the right decision. You spoke very clearly with excellent pronunciation!
New sub. Great vid. Heaps of info. Keep up the great work.
DUDE UR A GOOD REVIEWER.
I’ve had the same ones on my Escalade for over 5 years, haven’t had a problem with them yet.
I've had the Zevo in my 08 Colorado 4 at least 3 years. I had cheaper ones in the front turn signal but changed them out for the Zevo.
I bought those for my 03 grand marquis tail/brake/turnsignal lights. The design really works on those cars because the taillights are heavily reliant on the reflective housing. I love them. Not the same story for the front turn signal/parking lights though. Very, very dim.
Thank you for the info
I'm glad I watched this video before I bought cheap LEDs for my 2012 Ford escape. looking on Amazon now!
I couldn't find any sylvania led headlight bulbs for my 08 frontier. Great video, much better option for my nissan.
Good informational video and your thoughts are 100% on the money. Do it right the first time. I've been using Sylvania ZEVO's in my BMW's and other cars for the past 6 years (both interior an exterior bulbs) and have yet to have one burn out. Best LED bulbs out there, IMHO. Aside from the lower power consumption and lower heat output, they also provide better light than the incandescent bulbs they replaced. The ZEVO's seem to fill the reflectors more fully with light, and they are instant on instead of the light ever so slightly ramping up like an incandescent bulb. Makes a noticeable improvement on bulbs like the brake and turn signals. They ARE more expensive than everything else, but are 100% worth it.
100K is right around the corner Jimmy!!!
Haha! I bought the same ones for my Chevy. Exspensive AF!! They're still going after 4 months.
good video men. i got this bulbs on red for the brakes lights & they are tremendous honestly.
I bought my truck in 1998 and I have had to replace one on the rear (about 6 months ago) and none on the front . That being said I am thinking about going led. Thanks for an informative video .
I swapped out all of the bulbs in my Ford E350 XLT Super Duty van to all Sylvania Zevo Bulbs except the headlights where I went with Beamtech and I am MORE than satisfied on the performace of the Sylvania bulbs. They have held up very well and to date, I have not had ANY issues with them. Worth EVERY penny I spent to swap them out from the factory installed regular bulbs.
I have these for brake lights. They're really bright and worth every penny.
I used those zevo bulbs in my 2012 equinox. They were the best purchase I made for the car aside from the aftermarket fog lights that I installed.
Jimmy, thank you so much for your wisdom and your energy!! that's awesome!
Great video; I agree LED bulb are nice but if I’m changing them as often as the regular and there there cheap I don’t want them I’ll spend the money and get good one and hopefully they will a while.
I bought a set of the zevo led awesome bulbs been in my car since 2016
Still work in heat and cold
I bought these bulbs 3 years ago for my suburban and there still good as new like i just bought them i have these bulbs on all my vehicles including led headlights and never had a problem
I have the same problem that you had and I currently use the same cheap led’s that you replaced. Time to upgrade to better led’s, Stay Army Strong!!!
Most Chevy pickups I see only have one daytime running light on. You mean both can come on at the same time? /s 0:00
Yea, what's with that? Every time I have a Chevy pickup in my shop, one of them is burnt out. Fortunately GM came up with an ingeniously simple light mounting.
@@bhaggen I was wondering if it was really hard to change one or expensive, as many as I see out. I make a game of it, who can spot one first, how far can I go before I see one, how many total in a short trip.
@Randy Stegemann.....There's no way to get directly to the bulb since access is blocked by the core support. But if you simply unlatch & pull out the two rods, the whole headlight assembly practically falls out. On some Hondas you have to remove the whole damn bumper!
@@bhaggen If only engineers had to fix what they design...
@Randy Stegemann.....Good Lord yes; one of my clients is an engineer who devised an anti-theft devise on his Suburban. But he had a stroke, had absolutely NO recollection of his devise let alone the code involved, and couldn't start the vehicle! Took me 5 hours to figure it out.....at HIS expense!
The Zevo Amber version look great for daytime running lights. Not so harsh for other drivers. I have had the Zevo in my Olds for over a year and no issues, other than envy from other drivers on the road. 🕶️
*I will definitely consider these once my bulbs blow.*
i did the same thing. I bought several cheap ones never any luck finally i bought sylvanias for the interior and in 5 years have never had one fail or flicker the car gets used 7 days a week. i would highly suggest sylvanias
Yes, the zevo sylvania units seem to be a bright idea. Nice video. Thank you for producing it.
I found some leds that are better then those leds made by auxito i putt them in my reverse lights and they worked so well i could see behind the car so much better so i got the ones for my tag lights and never had a problem the shine and flood the light better then those sylvainia leds
I love your voice I’m jealous, great video!
I have these installed on my car and believe me they are great!!! I have them as break red LED! good choice! , by the way you should change the burnt socket and also clean the lamp for better brightness.
I have the 3157 Amber, 4157 Amber, and the 3057 Red. Love them all.
Mike de Miranda good to hear!!!
As soon a you showed us they were Sylvania, I expected nothing less than a positive experience.
Jimmy thank you for all your good advice and yes the Zevo LED's are awesome. One bit of advice if you try to also replace your back up lights. When I changed the back up lights with the Zevo's I immediately got a "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE" error message. When I went back to the 3157's the error message went away. I would love to hear from anyone else who has a 2003 2500 Chevy Sub that ie 4X4. Thank you Jimmy
Heard some people had to install some type of resistors to fix these types of issues.
I bought the Sylvania zevos for my brake lights are much brighter and run cooler than the glass bulbs.
Ayyy nice content, I might get those for my 2000 suburban! My only concern is that they won't produce enough heat in snow conditions...I know a lot of Jeeps have that problem when you switch to LEDs and then your headlights get frozen over while you're driving
I put these in rear tails of 05 accord, and they were dimmer than the stock halogens. Had ibrightstars over 4 yrs now. Fill housing nicely.
I have something like these but as a 7443R led bulb from sylvania zevo.
These work very well for my 2015 lifted Scion xB. And it maybe slight dimmer of the parking light function than my incandescent bulbs. But that’s how they are design for. And the brightness function were very bright and sharp.
The brightness and the beam pattern it makes I was in love with these zevo led bulbs. It works well for my brake lights. Not much for my turn signals ambers of the 7440. They are oem plus. Same brightness maybe a hair simmer. But my particular application is different, my reflector housing did not filled up with my brightness. So it needs ultra bright 360 type led amber lights. So I use auxito with 24 watts built in resistor led bulbs. And they are stupid bright. And I love it. It creates a beautiful amber parallel beam pattern from left to right. Gives other drivers much more effective to give them a heads up.
Been buying this bulbs for years and never had an issue
As always you’ve done the “due diligence” making it easier for us to make choices 👍🏻thanks
btw Amazon Prime has these lights at $19.95
Been using zevo led bulbs since they first hit market and before the lifetime warranty. Have a set that I still use daily that's over 8 years old (I think)
they’re still holding up?
I would rather have an over engineered product than a piece of junk. Love your thinking near the end of the video about buying the best that you can afford and expecting it to last.
I use to have a pair of red ones they are good lights 🙂👌🏼
I went Zevo crazy on my car, 2011 Crown Vic, the interior feels like a much newer car simply from the different light temperature and the fact that they are are MUCH brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs. As for the turn signals and brake lights, the improvement is very noticeable. Take this with a grain of salt as results may vary based on the lens and reflector of the housing you're replacing the bulb for. Overall, these are worth the cost and considering their warranty, I haven't found better. Only warning is to make sure you can locate your factory turn signal relay so you can either replace it or bypass it with an LED compliant flasher module. If your electrical system had all incandescent to start with, it is expecting the resistance of incandescent bulbs. Switching to all LEDs will trigger the hyper flash of your turn signals which normally signals a burnt out bulb. This may vary but will most likely be the case.
I run that bulb in a Ford model a style tail light on a harley. Works well.
I’m gonna check those out, maybe they got’em for my reverse lights...........btw them bulb sockets on ur Tahoe is normal I’ve seen all older gm’s do that
No video on LED Headlights? I thought that would be a great review like this one on the parking lights and you did show you have them in the Suburban. I have some JDM Astar which have been great.
been running zevos for 2 years in red amber and white never had one die they have been flawless and work better then anything and works like OEMs zevos perform well in freeform reflectors they keep color and last got em everyware no issues
I put Sylvania ZEVO bulbs in my DRLs 2 years ago, and they're still alive today. I tell anyone with the 1999-2007 GM trucks to put the ZEVOs in their DRLs. They last longer and don't overheat the sockets and lenses.
I switched to the zevo 3157 reds for taillights the factree lights melted lens for my 2002 chevy blazer xtreme.
Ok... makes sense. I was about to go down that expensive road of buying multiple brands. Just ordered the zevo's for my f150. Fingers crossed
I actually had one in my backup light quit working but they had me bring both back in and gave me 2 new ones at O'riley auto parts
I swapped all my 07 Suburban front lights . Eventually , swapped the housing as well . BEST MOVE ! Buy the best the first time around .
Yessir buy once cry once. I purchased enough led bulbs to replace all the exterior and interior dome, courtesy and door lights in my c1500 about 10 years ago when you only had one choice at the local parts stores. Within a year all LEDs had been swapped back to incandescent due to various failure modes. Needless to say I got burned. I've been seriously considering these zevo bulbs tho. Thanks for the great demo and review Jimmy!
With LEDs it’s all a gamble. I seriously think these Sylvania Zevo are the best of the beat right now! Expensive but the best.
@@1RoadGarage just curious if they're still working well for you? I spent $$$ after doing some research on a full set, all 4 led headlight bulbs for my 01 Silverado and would also like to swap my DRL bulbs to zevo's 4114 if yours are holding up well.
