Your tests are great! I happened to replace the headlamps in three of our vehicles with the Auxbeam F22 , all reflectors. I purchased them before I can across your tests. They have been very good. I would love to see you test the Sylvania LED. They sell them in local stores, and have a well known name. Curious how they are compared to all of the others out there.
After watching this video, I am going to give the Diamond Vision LEDs a try... I have 17 Ram with factory Projectors... Im hoping this works as good as I see in the video. Thanks for reviewing all the LEDs, its a HUGE market with too many brand options.
I recently installed a pair of Auxito LEDs (2024 update) in my wife's 2012 beetle and they have a nearly perfect beam pattern. Huge improvement over the crappy old LEDs i installed a few years ago
Also are there any bulbs other than the Morimoto and GTR lighting ones that offer PWM dimming for DRL mode? It’s one of the nicest features, but both of those lights feel fairly outdated by now
High light output comes at a price which is heat. High temps at the chip will determine its lifespan and the potential for heat damage to the light housing. The Auxbeam F22 has impressive output but the chips reach a temp of 228°F +.
Great reviews! Would love to see you set up a fog light reflector housing and do some of the fog lights out there, both yellow and white to see which ones are good to add for aftermarket upgrades.
Just ordered a set of H7 Punishers from watching your vid. They are having a super sale for next couple hours I got mine for $48!! These will be going into my 2012 F150 with those good looking but crappy light output aftermarket projector housings. Hope I can see at night.
I'm really glad I've found this page. Had been really helpful in recommending lights at certain price ranges and brightness. Would be nice to see where a set of NINEO LEDs land in the test.😊. Luxster for the win🎉
Hi! 2 questions: 1. Will there be a "Best of 2024" in 2025? and 2. Are there any H11 LED headlights that work both as Day-running headlights AND High Beams? I have a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan GT. - Thanks!
I have a 2025 Ram Rebel. I have stock LED headlight bulbs. The light they put out is not sufficient. I want to upgrade the. Do I need to purchase LED bulbs with drivers, or since I am replacing LED bulbs for LED bulbs can I replace the bulbs only? 4:56
If the vehicle has a LED assembly/driver built-in by the car manufacturer, it cannot be replaced. Only standard Halogen bulbs (or aftermarket LED bulbs) can be replaced with different LEDs.
Great Video as always. I would like older lights to be included in your ranking, if they are still available and outperform newer lights. Like "best buy" might just be a 2022 modell, if it's more bang for the buck. U did the average data comparison at the start of this video, maybe a quick comparison between this year's and last year's winners could be included as well.
Thanks, someone else also suggested something similar to that. But you don't need me to make a video for that, you can make that decision on your own by comparing the data at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs. This video is basically a yearly summary of what stood out. :)
Testing HID 35w,55w,75w,100w,150w and 300w. I got 100 watt hid kit and truly does pull 95 watts pre bulb which is crazy, but would love to see how they compare to other lighting
hello thanks for your videos. I have a question concerning the 2020 Toyota Yaris 4 Phase 1 that i bought few month ago with originally halogen front bulbs that i would like to change for brighter and whiter lights essentially. My question is which type of socket should i chose and all detail i have to be careful of if there are some ? finally can you give me some of the cheapest ALIEXPRESS solution to deal with?
Hi, the issue is that Dodge RAM senses the wattage and anything over 65W it will turn off. That is why I have the FX5 model at 60-65W for RAM. You can contact me directly.
Fahrens are 30k lumen a pair. Diamond Visions are 19k each, or 38k lumen per pair. Even then, those are ratings from the manufacturer. Look at the spreadsheet to see real numbers. Hope that clears up your question.
@@jasonjones2979 thank you for that information however see 30,000LM each for Fahrenheit and 19,000LM each for diamond vision F9 on the spreadsheet So that means fahren would be 60,000LM & diamond vision would be 38,000LM. So how is 60,000LM not brighter than 38,000LM which is said to be tested on the spreadsheet
@@Camaro_x looks like it's a typo my friend. If you look up the Fahrens you will see they are listed by the manufacturer as 30k/pair. The Diamonds listed as 38k/pair by their manufacturer. Looks like maybe just a typo by CLR.
Our F9 headlights are rated at 38000 lumens per set (19000 per bulb). But more importantly are the Lux readings. I would suggest that you watch his F9 Review from early 2023 and then look at the spreadsheet that he has linked in the description.
Honestly if I want to upgrade my high beams even brighter than my Lasfit LAair 9005, I’d switch to either LS plus or LS pro series. I have room for that massive 3” heatsink. I’m still wondering, if that 9005 Lasfit LS pro with a 3” heatsink still has an adjustable collar, just like the LS plus. If it truly does, then that be awesome. If not, then I’d go for LS plus.
Purchased the Fahen Termitor 2024 all in one, unfortunately it gave my 2016 Jeep Cherokee the "low beam out" on my dash...returning them and just placed an ordered for the Luxster Punisher from this video using your discount code....hopefully these won't trip that warning on my dash. The Termitor were a really great upgrade from the standard halogen bulbs. Looking forward to trying the Luxster.
This issue may not be with the replacement LED, but with your vehicle. Some vehicles (including Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge) do not like LED upgrades and need a CANBUS decoder. In these situations, I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
@CarLightReviews thank you for explaining that to me! I'll try Punisher lights and if I get the same result, I'll purchase the decoder....hopefully I'll have enough room for both the decoder and external driver in my headlight housing lol
You bet, hope it helps. You might want to check out this link: geni.us/antiflicker Can't guarantee that it is the solution without knowing more about your vehicle, but it might show you options.
I have a 2018 subaru crosstrek with the halogen headlights. It uses the high beam bulb as the DRL most of the time. When headlights turn on, DRL turns off. Then they come on full brightness when you click highs obviously. Would there be a canbus LED bulb that could work for DRL/High beam? Ideally in yellow
I used to buy amazon bulbs, bought my first morimoto pair about a year ago, never gping back, brightness stays the same ALWAYS, when testing light output seems to be less, but that is because there is less of a hotspot and more light in general, they are much better overall, beam pattern is always close to perfect no matter what. The cooling system is just ideal, they heat up the enclosure a little bit, that makes snow melt (not as fast as halogen or HID), the color temperature is an almost perfect pure white... I would say, just spend the extra 100-150bucks and be happy
I just bought the Luxster H7 for my R3 Bike, hope they do better than my actual Acuma Led from Hikari,got the Luxster with a really good discount from your coupon got Luxster for 35 USD and free delivery. Greeting from Colombia.
Great information manny factors i was not even aware of 👌🙏 What is the difference between lux and lumens? Yesterday I fitted Philips Xtreme Ultinon 18w 1500lm bulbs for lowbeam. I hope the light will be brighter than the 35w HID bulbs that was in there previously as the HID's were realy crappy. I also discovered the driver side high beam HID bulb is dead, I want to replace the high beam bulbs with LED as well, from your video it seems a bulb that retain its brightness well after 27 minutes is important.
How about NaoEvo? Any chance to review them for D3S model? Or please, give us some of best LED light bulbs which would fit oem D3S on my car! Subscribed...
Purchased luxster and i am pleased with output pure white color and bright enough ... H4 application Reflector type 🎉🎉.. Thanks for making great reviews 👍
Hey hope you're doing well. I just got some Cougar Motor Ultimate F6 series 9008/H13 120W ,30 000 LM for my 2010 Ram 1500 and I was wondering what are your thoughts about those LED headlights bulbs?Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us on UA-cam, have a great one bud,take care.
Hello, your videos are incredible, I have a question, if my headlights says 55/60 watts, but the auxbeam f22 says 110watts, will they be compatible?, both are H4
Unfortunately, I can't suggest a recommendation for specific vehicles as I can't test them all, I am sorry to say. That's why I can offer a baseline reference. However, I do suggest that you review my headlight data spreadsheet here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and use that data to guide your decision. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your needs!
Diamond vision $100. Luxster $55 on Amazon. Is diamond vision $45 better than Luxster? Brightest for your money and most light retention for your money is all I'm interested in.
Hello. Take a look at his excel spreadsheet of the raw test data for the output at 27 minutes for Projector and Reflector. Also look at the Temperature readings. I have been selling the F9 model (that replaced the F7) since Sept 2022 and have had very little returns (usually if someone ordered the wrong size or it wasn't compatible). No returns saying "not bright enough".
Hi, I own 2012 Honda pilot. I would like to upgrade my high beam that also function as DRL. Could you please suggest LED bulb that drl would still work? Thanks in advance.

Was wondering if you could get a few more OEM projectors from a couple of different vehicle makes. My understanding is that projectors vary from brand to brand and this could be why people have different experiences. Of the 15 different brands I've tried on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (and the stock projectors suck), I have discovered that brightness alone is not as important as the design. My projecters seem to be more sensitive to the thickness and length of the LED light housing portion than other projectors. Shorter and thinner for my projectors seem to throw light further down the road.
Can you provide a best led for oem style replacement. Needs to be direct fit with fan mounted at base plate(or fanless). Not looking at brightness but for universal application.
You have to define "best". What is most important in an LED lighting upgrade for YOUR needs? Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. Also pay attention to the temperature readings. If there isn't one for the driver, that means it is the all-on-one ORM halogen size/style. Finally, do not buy a fanless version. They do not perform well at all. There's a reason all of the major names have a fan somewhere in the unit. That should help!
So quick question the luxster and novsight n60 is better and brighter in a non projector headlight than auxito LED cause im looking for some bright bright led headlights and fog light and i bought a set of auxito led and they were pretty bright so i thought i would ask u thanks for your vids cant wait to see your flashlights as well i love em and have a couple to work or use at night
Very excited to see this! Can you help with a recommendation? I am looking for a bulb to use as in a reflector style high-beam. I’ve been debating between the Hikari Titanova 2023 and the Novsight N60. The new n60 is obviously much brighter, has a slightly better pattern in reflectors, but also runs hotter and has a greater drop off in intensity. I think the extra heat should be manageable, but I have a couple of concerns keeping me from getting the Novsight that are not addressed in your chart or video: How is the build quality of the Novsight in comparison to the Titanova? I know Hikari makes decently solid bulbs, but it’s difficult to tell from the video how the Novsight compares. In reality, are the ultra-bright bulbs like the Novsight too bright to flick between high beams and low beams and retain your sight at night? Like is the difference between the brightness of the high-beams and low-beams too much to the point of it making it difficult to see using the low-beams after turning the high beams off? My low beams are 35watt xenon projectors. Would it make more sense to wait for the next generation of Hikari lights to see if they outshine the Titanovas? And lastly what would you choose for yourself in your daily driver?
If u want the most reliable led bulbs and very low temperature. For both low and high beams. I’d recommend Lasfit - LA plus. Both makes 30 watts per bulb, 3000 lumens per bulb, and 6000k pure white. I want car light reviews to have better results than what they claim. But we have bulbfacts covered that The real results is 28.7 watts per bulb, 3700 lumens per bulb or over 800+ maximum lux at 25 feet. The kelvin color is actually 5950. And the temperature is up to 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Super cool temperature while it perform extremely well. I’d recommend those for both low and high beams.
I'm new to your channel I wanted to know do you have a video on best projector headlight housing LED? Or which ones go best in a projector housing? Thank you 🙏
Diamond Vision F9 H11 are sold out. Can you recommend me another good LED for a reflector headlight? I honestly don’t care how it looks I just want one that is bright I I can see everything on the road at night.

@@CarLightReviews I want a light that is bright and good beam pattern. I have lasfits in my GTi and I wanna get some for my dad but his are h13 and I wanna make sure they are good. Lasfit overall is good rught?
Most aftermarket LED bulbs are the same internal across sizes but with different mounting collars and sometimes different chip placement distance. The slight exception is dual filament bulb replacements in which case the high beam chip is obviously the addition, but the low beam chip is typically the same.
I purchased the auxito for a 2015 ram 1500 I purchase the high beams low beams and fog light, but when I switch from the low beams to high beams after I'm done with the high beams the low beams won't come back on I have to turn off the truck and turn it on so they come back up. H11, H9, fogs. Do you have an idea why that happens I'm on my second set of lowbeams in less then a month and still with the same problem
Yes, because your truck is equipped with a pretty sophisticated PWM system that monitors your lighting circuits. The LED's use less power than the original halogen bulbs and it senses that. As a precaution it is shutting down that circuit.
Many times you can get around this by using resistors. There's also many plug and play options on the market sold as "error cancelers" or "canbus adapters".
All these headlights are good....for about a year or two max. Then they burn out. Which is no big deal except when your vehicle requires the whole front bumper assembly to come off like mine.
There are no LED headlight upgrades like the ones shown in this video that are made in America that I am aware of. There are a few American-based companies such as Diode Dynamics, Diamond Vision, and X-7Seven that source the products from overseas.
What's better to get 65k or 8k for a chevy tahoe want to change them ugly yellow ones for some white bright ones.. hopefully cop don't stop me.. what do u recommend??
8k? No way. The closer to 5,772 k the better. Unfortunately, very few LED upgrade manufacturers make an upgrade close to that color. Don't want to be pulled over? 1) Don't use weird colored headlight upgrades. 2) Aim the headlights carefully and accurately. 3) If you cain't aim it correctly and accurately without scattering, don't use it.
You don't have to look any further than my channel....and more specifically, the video you are commenting on. Also check out the awards video from 2022: ua-cam.com/video/YMxLhQtwB7I/v-deo.htmlsi=6UnMSmbHZcWHNXzh Dog deeper...take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based your needs.
I have a Kia Optima 2016 i need 9005/HB3 headlights bulbs for my high beam, those use reflectors on my car. What you recommend better Novsight N60 or Fahren Termitor, i want them really bright...!!! What you recommend?
I can say I ordered the Novsight N60 and Sealight S7S. I installed Sealights first. Great. Then installed Novsight next. And expected to be blown away given your test results. Not even close. The Novsight N60 were a huge disappointment. Almost unsafe to drive. Don't understand. 🤨
I’ve been using the Auxbeam F22 for almost 6 months now because of this video. I’ve tried a bunch of LED lights with my reflector housing, but man these are PERFECT. Can’t say thank you enough! I was using Auxito but one of the lights went out after about 6 months.
@ I only replaced my low beams. I know there’s a plug you can disconnect so it doesn’t flicker. But if I’m being honest, I can’t help you there. My apologies

I recently installed a pair of Auxito LEDs (2024 update) in my wife's 2012 beetle and they have a nearly perfect beam pattern. Huge improvement over the crappy old LEDs i installed a few years ago
Glad to hear it!
Also are there any bulbs other than the Morimoto and GTR lighting ones that offer PWM dimming for DRL mode? It’s one of the nicest features, but both of those lights feel fairly outdated by now
Any plans to test projector or halogen fog lights? White and yellow lights?
🤞🏾
though you will have the DDM tuning 65w on the Channel for test? pretty sure it will take the lead in brightness.
Just how sure are you? 😜
@@CarLightReviews if it cant beat a 40$ aliexpress led like the F9, then i dont know anymore.
High light output comes at a price which is heat. High temps at the chip will determine its lifespan and the potential for heat damage to the light housing. The Auxbeam F22 has impressive output but the chips reach a temp of 228°F +.
Great reviews! Would love to see you set up a fog light reflector housing and do some of the fog lights out there, both yellow and white to see which ones are good to add for aftermarket upgrades.
Great video! Congratulations to all the winners.
Thanks! :)
I'd love to see you use a HID bulb as an additional baseline.
I have a set that is ready to be tested!
Just ordered a set of H7 Punishers from watching your vid. They are having a super sale for next couple hours I got mine for $48!! These will be going into my 2012 F150 with those good looking but crappy light output aftermarket projector housings. Hope I can see at night.
How are they holding up? Would you recommend them?
@@xlr8_noskii Yes very good and super bright. I can drive at night now.
TY for comparing and reviewing for us
Great content Jason! I was wondering if you could test the Philips Ultinon Rally 3550/3551 LED bulbs
I'm really glad I've found this page. Had been really helpful in recommending lights at certain price ranges and brightness. Would be nice to see where a set of NINEO LEDs land in the test.😊. Luxster for the win🎉
Glad it was helpful! I have had a few requests for Nineo LEDs. Any specific model you would suggest I look into?
@@CarLightReviews Not sure the name but I'd think it's Nineo F5 Series, 120w per pair 30000 lumens.
@@kurtdonnelly5200Thanks. Appears to be a standard F5 clone.
Hi! 2 questions: 1. Will there be a "Best of 2024" in 2025? and 2. Are there any H11 LED headlights that work both as Day-running headlights AND High Beams? I have a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan GT. - Thanks!
Appreciate the review deff using it to make my purchase I used ur link
Awesome thank you!
I have a 2025 Ram Rebel. I have stock LED headlight bulbs. The light they put out is not sufficient. I want to upgrade the. Do I need to purchase LED bulbs with drivers, or since I am replacing LED bulbs for LED bulbs can I replace the bulbs only? 4:56
Difficult to say. The lights I test are typically designed to replace OEM halogen.
If the vehicle has a LED assembly/driver built-in by the car manufacturer, it cannot be replaced. Only standard Halogen bulbs (or aftermarket LED bulbs) can be replaced with different LEDs.
Ordered few pair of punisher thanks to your video , thank you and will see how good they are in a few days .
No problem 👍
Great Video as always.
I would like older lights to be included in your ranking, if they are still available and outperform newer lights. Like "best buy" might just be a 2022 modell, if it's more bang for the buck.
U did the average data comparison at the start of this video, maybe a quick comparison between this year's and last year's winners could be included as well.
Thanks, someone else also suggested something similar to that. But you don't need me to make a video for that, you can make that decision on your own by comparing the data at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs.
This video is basically a yearly summary of what stood out. :)
Testing HID 35w,55w,75w,100w,150w and 300w. I got 100 watt hid kit and truly does pull 95 watts pre bulb which is crazy, but would love to see how they compare to other lighting
but watts are only are Measurement in heat ..
hello thanks for your videos.
I have a question concerning the 2020 Toyota Yaris 4 Phase 1 that i bought few month ago with originally halogen front bulbs that i would like to change for brighter and whiter lights essentially. My question is which type of socket should i chose and all detail i have to be careful of if there are some ? finally can you give me some of the cheapest ALIEXPRESS solution to deal with?
Does anyone know which years of Dodge Ram the Diamond Vision F9s don't fit? It mentions that it can't fit some years of Dodge Rams on the website.
Hi, the issue is that Dodge RAM senses the wattage and anything over 65W it will turn off. That is why I have the FX5 model at 60-65W for RAM. You can contact me directly.
How is the diamond visionled F9 the brightest with 19,000LM and not the Fahrenheit terminator with 30,000LM, How is the 30,000LM not brighter ?
Fahrens are 30k lumen a pair.
Diamond Visions are 19k each, or 38k lumen per pair.
Even then, those are ratings from the manufacturer. Look at the spreadsheet to see real numbers.
Hope that clears up your question.
@@jasonjones2979 thank you for that information
however see 30,000LM each for Fahrenheit and 19,000LM each for diamond vision F9 on the spreadsheet
So that means fahren would be 60,000LM & diamond vision would be 38,000LM.
So how is 60,000LM not brighter than 38,000LM which is said to be tested on the spreadsheet
@@Camaro_x looks like it's a typo my friend. If you look up the Fahrens you will see they are listed by the manufacturer as 30k/pair.
The Diamonds listed as 38k/pair by their manufacturer.
Looks like maybe just a typo by CLR.
@@jasonjones2979 got yuh.
Our F9 headlights are rated at 38000 lumens per set (19000 per bulb). But more importantly are the Lux readings. I would suggest that you watch his F9 Review from early 2023 and then look at the spreadsheet that he has linked in the description.
Honestly if I want to upgrade my high beams even brighter than my Lasfit LAair 9005, I’d switch to either LS plus or LS pro series.
I have room for that massive 3” heatsink.
I’m still wondering, if that 9005 Lasfit LS pro with a 3” heatsink still has an adjustable collar, just like the LS plus.
If it truly does, then that be awesome.
If not, then I’d go for LS plus.
This was a great review! I'll be using your code to get the Luxster or the Diamond Vision F9.
Glad it helped!
How is the Diamond Vision F9 vs the Hikari 2023 Future Titanova? Basically your best 2022 output vs your best 2023 output
See for yourself by comparing the data: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
According to Jason's testing and spreadsheet, our F9 bulb is brighter for both Projector and Reflector headlights
Just watch both videos and check the data at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and you can find your answer. :)
Purchased the Fahen Termitor 2024 all in one, unfortunately it gave my 2016 Jeep Cherokee the "low beam out" on my dash...returning them and just placed an ordered for the Luxster Punisher from this video using your discount code....hopefully these won't trip that warning on my dash.
The Termitor were a really great upgrade from the standard halogen bulbs. Looking forward to trying the Luxster.
This issue may not be with the replacement LED, but with your vehicle. Some vehicles (including Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge) do not like LED upgrades and need a CANBUS decoder. In these situations, I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
@CarLightReviews thank you for explaining that to me! I'll try Punisher lights and if I get the same result, I'll purchase the decoder....hopefully I'll have enough room for both the decoder and external driver in my headlight housing lol
You bet, hope it helps. You might want to check out this link: geni.us/antiflicker
Can't guarantee that it is the solution without knowing more about your vehicle, but it might show you options.
I have a 2018 subaru crosstrek with the halogen headlights. It uses the high beam bulb as the DRL most of the time. When headlights turn on, DRL turns off. Then they come on full brightness when you click highs obviously. Would there be a canbus LED bulb that could work for DRL/High beam? Ideally in yellow
I have a new set of headlamps that need both 9005 and H7s. Can you suggest a good high beam + projector combo?
Our Diamond Vision LED F9 bulbs are available in both 9005 and H7 size.
I used to buy amazon bulbs, bought my first morimoto pair about a year ago, never gping back, brightness stays the same ALWAYS, when testing light output seems to be less, but that is because there is less of a hotspot and more light in general, they are much better overall, beam pattern is always close to perfect no matter what. The cooling system is just ideal, they heat up the enclosure a little bit, that makes snow melt (not as fast as halogen or HID), the color temperature is an almost perfect pure white... I would say, just spend the extra 100-150bucks and be happy
I’m trying to get the brightest LED headlights for my 2014 Scion TC. Any recommendations? Especially because my headlights are tinted😅😅😅.
I just bought the Luxster H7 for my R3 Bike, hope they do better than my actual Acuma Led from Hikari,got the Luxster with a really good discount from your coupon got Luxster for 35 USD and free delivery.
Greeting from Colombia.
How are they holding up? Would you recommend them?
Great information manny factors i was not even aware of 👌🙏 What is the difference between lux and lumens? Yesterday I fitted Philips Xtreme Ultinon 18w 1500lm bulbs for lowbeam. I hope the light will be brighter than the 35w HID bulbs that was in there previously as the HID's were realy crappy.
I also discovered the driver side high beam HID bulb is dead, I want to replace the high beam bulbs with LED as well, from your video it seems a bulb that retain its brightness well after 27 minutes is important.
I've got the f9s in my high beams and there awesome
YES!!!!!!!! BEST AWARD 2023 led headlights.
Damn I just finish my dinner to enjoy this 🤣🤣🤣👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
👍🏼
What do you do about high beams that are also your day time driving lights? Are their modules or special LEDs for them?
Recommendation for 2024 ram 1500 Big horn? Would like a little blue tint that would like most OEM cars on the road and be street legal. Thanks,
Hey, just wondering if the luxster punisher would fit my 2022 Honda accord touring?!
Can you review the new OSRAM Nightbreaker LED GEN 2 H7 bulbs? I’m quite interested in them as they’re road legal approved in Europe
How about NaoEvo? Any chance to review them for D3S model?

Great 👍
I’m not finding any LED you have recommended for my 2017 Silverado with the OEM D5S HID. Can you please make a recommendation.
I got my mom some Novsights for her CRV, look OEM quality when they're on she's very happy with them
Glad to hear it!
Hey hope you're doing well. I just got some Cougar Motor Ultimate F6 series 9008/H13 120W ,30 000 LM for my 2010 Ram 1500 and I was wondering what are your thoughts about those LED headlights bulbs?Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us on UA-cam, have a great one bud,take care.
Hello, your videos are incredible, I have a question, if my headlights says 55/60 watts, but the auxbeam f22 says 110watts, will they be compatible?, both are H4
Yay! I wasn't sure we were getting this this year, sweet!
Just a bit behind, sorry to keep you waiting.
What is the warranty on the diamond vision F9 LED?
Hi CLR wish upgrade do yo think is better (LED or hid xenon) for the headlight of a Toyota Sienna 2019 with halogen projectors ?
Auxbeam vs punisher for high beam reflectors on 2015 Mazda 6? 9005 bulbs I believe.
Unfortunately, I can't suggest a recommendation for specific vehicles as I can't test them all, I am sorry to say. That's why I can offer a baseline reference. However, I do suggest that you review my headlight data spreadsheet here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and use that data to guide your decision. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your needs!
Diamond vision $100. Luxster $55 on Amazon. Is diamond vision $45 better than Luxster? Brightest for your money and most light retention for your money is all I'm interested in.
Hello. Take a look at his excel spreadsheet of the raw test data for the output at 27 minutes for Projector and Reflector. Also look at the Temperature readings. I have been selling the F9 model (that replaced the F7) since Sept 2022 and have had very little returns (usually if someone ordered the wrong size or it wasn't compatible). No returns saying "not bright enough".
Hi, I own 2012 Honda pilot. I would like to upgrade my high beam that also function as DRL. Could you please suggest LED bulb that drl would still work? Thanks in advance.

Was wondering if you could get a few more OEM projectors from a couple of different vehicle makes. My understanding is that projectors vary from brand to brand and this could be why people have different experiences. Of the 15 different brands I've tried on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (and the stock projectors suck), I have discovered that brightness alone is not as important as the design. My projecters seem to be more sensitive to the thickness and length of the LED light housing portion than other projectors. Shorter and thinner for my projectors seem to throw light further down the road.
Can you provide a best led for oem style replacement. Needs to be direct fit with fan mounted at base plate(or fanless). Not looking at brightness but for universal application.
You have to define "best". What is most important in an LED lighting upgrade for YOUR needs? Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. Also pay attention to the temperature readings. If there isn't one for the driver, that means it is the all-on-one ORM halogen size/style. Finally, do not buy a fanless version. They do not perform well at all. There's a reason all of the major names have a fan somewhere in the unit. That should help!
So quick question the luxster and novsight n60 is better and brighter in a non projector headlight than auxito LED cause im looking for some bright bright led headlights and fog light and i bought a set of auxito led and they were pretty bright so i thought i would ask u thanks for your vids cant wait to see your flashlights as well i love em and have a couple to work or use at night
How does the Fahren lights compare to the winners?
Honestly, after the Diamond Vision F9/Novsight N60, I’m just here to see who comes in 2nd place from this point. 🤷🏽♂️
LOL, I am sure you are not the only one!
@dominiquenewman We both did very well in several categories
I have a 2014 GMC Terrain SLE AWD, What is the brightest H11 LED I can get? Thanks
Have a look at my data spreadsheet carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and note columns R, T, V and X
These videos are awesome, keep up the good work 👏 😊
Thanks! 😃
Thanks! I'll try!😎
I’m looking to buy led headlights for my thunderbird 96 witch would you prefer me to go with please help me out thanks so much
Very excited to see this! Can you help with a recommendation? I am looking for a bulb to use as in a reflector style high-beam. I’ve been debating between the Hikari Titanova 2023 and the Novsight N60. The new n60 is obviously much brighter, has a slightly better pattern in reflectors, but also runs hotter and has a greater drop off in intensity. I think the extra heat should be manageable, but I have a couple of concerns keeping me from getting the Novsight that are not addressed in your chart or video:
How is the build quality of the Novsight in comparison to the Titanova? I know Hikari makes decently solid bulbs, but it’s difficult to tell from the video how the Novsight compares.
In reality, are the ultra-bright bulbs like the Novsight too bright to flick between high beams and low beams and retain your sight at night? Like is the difference between the brightness of the high-beams and low-beams too much to the point of it making it difficult to see using the low-beams after turning the high beams off? My low beams are 35watt xenon projectors.
Would it make more sense to wait for the next generation of Hikari lights to see if they outshine the Titanovas?
And lastly what would you choose for yourself in your daily driver?
If u want the most reliable led bulbs and very low temperature.
For both low and high beams.
I’d recommend Lasfit - LA plus. Both makes 30 watts per bulb, 3000 lumens per bulb, and 6000k pure white.
I want car light reviews to have better results than what they claim.
But we have bulbfacts covered that
The real results is 28.7 watts per bulb, 3700 lumens per bulb or over 800+ maximum lux at 25 feet. The kelvin color is actually 5950. And the temperature is up to 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
Super cool temperature while it perform extremely well.
I’d recommend those for both low and high beams.
I'm new to your channel I wanted to know do you have a video on best projector headlight housing LED? Or which ones go best in a projector housing? Thank you 🙏
Hi @Car Light Reviews,
What about the novsight n63 h7?
Diamond Vision F9 H11 are sold out. Can you recommend me another good LED for a reflector headlight? I honestly don’t care how it looks I just want one that is bright I I can see everything on the road at night.
Our F9 LEDs are back in stock.
What do you think is the brightest auxbeam GX series 9012 or Novsight N60 9012?
You can compare all of the data of both and many more on my data spreadsheet: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs

Is the best in reflectors would a 2 in 1 bulb like h13 be good as well?

@@rudydaberry122My F9 H13 dual beam bulbs are a good choice.
Have you tested H13 bulbs? I cant seem to find any reviews on them.
Most aftermarket LED bulbs are the same internal across sizes but with different mounting collars and sometimes different chip placement distance. The slight exception is dual filament bulb replacements in which case the high beam chip is obviously the addition, but the low beam chip is typically the same.
@russellnesbitt4548 Our F9 LED comes in size H13, which is a combination low/high beam bulb deaign
Amazon shows the Luxster does not fit a GMC Terrain SLT 2011. Do u know if that is correct? Thank you for all you do!
Remove your existing bulb and look at the size designation stamped on it or check your owner manual to see what size you need.
Thank you
Our F9 LEDs are back in-stock.
@DiamondVisionLED do you have fitment on the website?
Can you do the same for all in one led headlights?
Do you cover headlamps?

I want a printable version of the spreadsheet please
You should be able to to print it from the browser.
I purchased the auxito for a 2015 ram 1500 I purchase the high beams low beams and fog light, but when I switch from the low beams to high beams after I'm done with the high beams the low beams won't come back on I have to turn off the truck and turn it on so they come back up. H11, H9, fogs. Do you have an idea why that happens I'm on my second set of lowbeams in less then a month and still with the same problem
Yes, because your truck is equipped with a pretty sophisticated PWM system that monitors your lighting circuits. The LED's use less power than the original halogen bulbs and it senses that. As a precaution it is shutting down that circuit.
Many times you can get around this by using resistors. There's also many plug and play options on the market sold as "error cancelers" or "canbus adapters".
Can you review philip led bulb to see their performance
All these headlights are good....for about a year or two max. Then they burn out. Which is no big deal except when your vehicle requires the whole front bumper assembly to come off like mine.

@@CarLightReviews Hahahah jk man, I'm just a Hikari/Luxster fanboy, don't mind me
I was wondering are any off these made in America
There are no LED headlight upgrades like the ones shown in this video that are made in America that I am aware of. There are a few American-based companies such as Diode Dynamics, Diamond Vision, and X-7Seven that source the products from overseas.
What's better to get 65k or 8k for a chevy tahoe want to change them ugly yellow ones for some white bright ones.. hopefully cop don't stop me.. what do u recommend??
8k? No way. The closer to 5,772 k the better. Unfortunately, very few LED upgrade manufacturers make an upgrade close to that color. Don't want to be pulled over? 1) Don't use weird colored headlight upgrades. 2) Aim the headlights carefully and accurately. 3) If you cain't aim it correctly and accurately without scattering, don't use it.
