      In a way, You're right. The headlight bulb collar can only be inserted and locked into place one way. From there, Most headlight bulbs can be adjusted or 'clocked' inside the collar itself. This will allow you to ensure the LEDs on the bulb are oriented properly in that particular headlight.

    I absolutely enjoyed watching this video! I find it really entertaining and you explained the different types of bulbs really well! I run LEDs in reflector headlights and they come out way brighter and way better. It depending on what bulb your looking for and like you said in the video, figure out the length and the width of the led bulb. A lot of people will say “No! You can’t use LEDs in reflector headlights! You’re blinding everybody!” I did have slightly shorter length LEDs in reflector headlights, I didn’t ever get flashed by oncoming cars, however, I’m always being a self conscious that the beam pattern isn’t brilliant and the cut off line isn’t great. I look into slightly longer ones which is Novsight ones again, it depends of how long and the width of the bulb you’re looking for. I gone for longer ones and the beam pattern comes out much better! Thank you so much for the info about the different bulbs!

    Wow, I am so pleased to finally see someone who actually does know what he's talking about. Great job explaining why leds dont work in halogen reflectors. Another aspect to consider is the kelvin factor. The AMA asserts that the super white or high kelvin bulbs actually cause your pupils to constrict reducing visibility further. We see best with sunlight about 4500k since millions of years of practice. Oh, and could you please do a video on how to, and the importance of adjusting headlights correctly. Seems like some people need that. Great job , thanks.

A lot of this is moot because so many idiots I pass at night are running their brights anyway and won't dim them down.

    @mustafadere9819 3 роки тому

    I watched this after I installed the 4 sided 9006 low beam led lights. I was using 2 sided 9006 LEDs and I saw 3-4 sided ones when I was browsing. Since their prices were very similar to my 2 sided ones, I decided to UPGRADE my low beams with the more powerful ones. Actually they are producing more light than my 2 sided ones in my case but the problem is they have vertically wider angle with the same headlights. I was trying to find out how to adjust the aim of the low and high beam lights separately because the upper line of 4 sided LEDs were quite higher than my high beams. I found only one adjustment bolt in my 2006 Honda Odyssey that adjusts the aim of the whole assembly. I am not a professional but if I understand everything correctly, there should be no way to adjust them properly while preserving the aim of the high beams. Because the additional sides of the 2 sided bulbs will always create a problem since they are not designed properly as you explained in this video. Thanks for sharing 👍

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  3 роки тому

      That is the issue with those multi sided LEDs, they usually produce terrible beam patterns. If adjusting the headlights is not fixing anything, I hate to say it but the bulbs themselves may be causing the issue.

    Vision Pro P series is an interesting bulb it's for projectors. It's Sit in the housing and the two chips are on either side like this...∆ it worked awesome on tests. Still two sided but led chips are positioned at 10 and 2 rather than 9 and 3. Your thoughts???

    Great Video! I was so hesitant on asking a question on your suggestion for a LED setup for my vehicle. But after seeing your response on just about all of the comments, I'll take a chance. What LEDs would you recommend for an 08 Mercedes E350 4matic (current H7 halogens) easy DIY, plug n play setup. I've looked all over and most venders suggest easy install but once I referenced a UA-cam vid on install, I saw it required "Jerry Rigging" of cutting plastic n metal or even wires of which I'm not trying to do. I would like to do low, high beam and fog all at once. Any brand is on the table. Thanks for any input sir!!!

      I'm glad you took the time to comment, We're here to help out as best we can! To be honest, The best route on your Mercedes is going to be an HID kit. That being said, Those Mercedes vehicles can be pretty picky when it comes to aftermarket lighting. Send us an email to Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com and we will go over a few options for you on your E350.

    I recently found your channel and admire your knowledge of LEDs. I’ve been watching for any info I can get on buying some LED lights to upgrade the fog lights on my 2008 CTS Cadillac, regardless of price, can you recommend the best LED specifically for the fog lights of my car?

    I noticed the cone shaped led was only used in the halogen housing which I would have suspected would look like crap. But, if it was used in a projector housing with a shutter that calls for say a 9012 bulb, it seems to me that this would be an ideal situation, because the shutter would cut light from the end of the bulb in low beam and open the entire light source on high beam. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    They work fine in projector housings.
    I tried the normal LEDs in mine and it was terrible. Then I put the 360 bulbs in and they worked really well.
    And vice versa, the 360 was terrible in my reflector housing.

    • @krypticdr4gon
      @krypticdr4gon 2 роки тому

      Exactly, I use them in my 2001 Ford focus and the headlights are better than they've ever been.... Everything he described was not the case for me, but I assume he's speaking for more modern headlight housings.

  • @shaung638
    @shaung638 4 роки тому +3

    Have you ever tested LED bulb in housing that are for off road equipment? The housing that I am wondering about were reflector style and generally used a 9005 bulb. Typically they were setup to produce either a trapezoidal or flood pattern. I assume the same basic apply for the trapezoidal hosing but what about the flood?

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  4 роки тому

      A good set of LED bulbs should still imitate that same pattern, Especially if you go with something like the GTR Lighting Ultra Series 2 or the S-V.4

    • @HeadlightRevolution

      Yes, You could do that. Regardless of your setup you'll want to avoid the multi-sided LED bulbs and stick to the 2 sided ones.

  • @iamsuperbleeder

    I would assume that the same would apply for putting LED bulbs into a projector housing that's originally designed for HID bulbs? For example, putting LED bulbs into a retrofit mini H1 projector. Awesome video, super great info!

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  2 роки тому +1

      Yep! Projectors that are designed for HID should only use HID. No matter what the beam pattern is never right and there's less light from the LED bulb.

  • @matejkudlac
    @matejkudlac 4 роки тому

    I totally agree, that 2sided LEDs are the way to go. BUT I have headlight with separate high and low beam and it seems, that multiple-sided led would be better for high beam reflector. Yes, their light source may have larger area, but I don't think it is a downside in high beams. They may be hot, but I think that would be okay, because you don't use high beams for long periods of time. What do you think please?

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  4 роки тому +2

      The issue with using multi sided LED bulbs for high beams would be the lack of brightness and also a terrible beam pattern. Even though you don't have to worry about blinding people when your high beams on (assuming no traffic is coming since they are on) you won't have the light going where it's needed. 2 Sided bulbs will still be better for high beam applications.

I’ve used an Hid for more then 3 years and it works good but it just that I wanted to see far away that’s why I changed to LED . What can I use on my car headlights ?

      Not the case, even in the projector the light needs to emit to the sides to focus properly.

    Wish I had seen this before my failed purchase. Only $20 loss but unnecessary cost for education. Fog light replacement on my 2011 Equinox. Hoping to match my upgrade to the headlight's which work perfectly!! Theory seemed will founded...all those LED's should have lite up a football stadium. After install and facing the car, they didn't seem overly impressive but the light color matched the headlights... from behind the steering wheel I thought they had burnt out!! Being it was twilight outside at the time, I thought they would get better at full darkness. NOT! Turning the fog lights only on, was the only way I knew they were working. I literally had better down the road brightness holding my cellphone out the window with the flashlight on. Thanks for the info to understanding why it doesn't work!!!
