Even that I don't have this kind of headlights, but I still watch all your videos! Very interesting, educational and entertaining! Learned a lot thanks to you guys! Best of luck!!!!!
I installed the Afeax on my 1998 Ford F800 tow truck, and the low beam pattern is extremely usable with grate pattern and sharp cutoff. Of course adjusting them properly is key. High beam is incredible. Build quality is very good. Purchased a second pair to install on my 1985 Toyota truck
Been searching/researching 5x7 led for 91 dodge b350 van. Had focused on Lux and ignored beam patterns. This was by far the most informative and valuable video I've seen regarding anything automotive related. Excellent work.
I bought the Truck-Lites about 5years ago for my motorhome. At the time they were the best available and they make the custom headlights for Peterbuilt, Kenworth, and I believe Volvo. You are absolutely correct about the high beam. On coming vehicles would flag me from over a mile away. I will never need driving lights.
@@HeadlightRevolution Useful content! Any easy I could get your contact info? I have a question regarding my 2001 e46 BMW halogen bulbs. Do you recommend a kit to replace all four stock halogens? I live in rural new England and you know the rest. I want the best plug and play option so I can order and connect without much effort? Maybe a recommendation on a whole interior kit replacement option?
There was one option in particular that I didn't see here (or in really any other comparisons for 5x7s) but wish someone would give a direct comparison with, and that is the Hella H4 conversion buckets. I've been running them in one of my vehicles with some stout H4 halogens and they are awesome, but was wondering how they would stack up against LED conversions like these if they had some H4 LED bulbs inside them. Maybe keep that in mind next time you do a round up like this.
Sounds like a halogen option - we specifically wanted to make a video showcasing all the LED headlights - NOT NECESSARILY to sell anything, but because we knew that there were a ton of really scary unsafe options being sold all over the place. People need someone to warn them. So, for all the LED options, here you go. I agree though that the Hella H4 conversion buckets are a great route. Don't necessarily even have to review them, I'll just tell you right now they are solid if that's the type of tech you're after. -Chris N
Agreed I'd love to see a comparison using some Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0's in the h4 conversion, and I mean while we're at it, maybe a Morimoto Mini H1 retrofit using 2Stroke 3.0 H1 bulbs.
I have these in my van with Phillips LED plug and play bulbs. They work great. Just need to make sure theyre adjusted properly. They dont do well in snow as it builds up on the lights because the glass isnt hot, unlike with halogens. Can probably fix this with some rainx or something similar.
Those H6054BL Brite-Lites were nice...for what they were...They had 80° beam spread vs 34° on a standard H6054 - I had issues with getting them broke (I was too stupid back then to buy stone guards) - So I bought HP6054's (Plastic ones) they were not as good of spread, but lasted longer... Later went with E-Code Hella's 80/100W H4 and Stone guards!
Hiya, I just wanted to say thanks to your video on the Best LED foglight, Im not awaiting some MoriMoto plug n play unit's. Can't Wait. Hopefully they will make it to the UK 😎👍
Great shootout Chris! Nice 2nd part to your original 5x7 shootout a few years ago. (Same with your 4x6 shootouts) I do agree that the Morimoto came in as a dud from what was expected. In their rollout they called it a game changer, named JW Speaker and Truck-lite and came out with big numbers. Was expecting like a wall of light....ahhh nope. Not for that price. I bought the Truck-lite (27450c) maybe 4 years ago, great light! I called Truck-lite yesterday after watching this video, asking if they had updated or changed the light (27450c) in this video in the last 4 years, guy said no it was the same. But he did tell me some interesting news.. Truck-lite will be releasing a new 5X7 any day now, part # 37450. It will be more the projector type, guess to go straight at JW Speaker. He said the light is really smooth and throws out down the road more. Using the same guidelines in your video hopefully you can do a video review of it when they drop them on the market. I may just have to upgrade from my current Truck-lites if they are a jump up.. It will be the opposite of the Morimoto, Morimoto hyped as game changer... and they didn't hit the mark. Truck-lite is saying very little, and they will probably blast out. And I'm not anti Morimoto, I was hoping for the best. I currently have their XB lights in a Ram, huge upgrade from stock!
Trucklite now has the 37450 lights on their site, projector style. Also have new low/high 4x6 versions. When you get your hands one them, please do a review and test them as you did to all these in the shootout to compare how they preform. Very excited to see Trucklites answer to JW projectors. For years forums compared the 2, fans in both camps. Will be interesting to see if Trucklite decided to walk away with the title....
What about something like a hella? Lots of bulb options for color temp and lumens. And at least it won't make a classic look silly like many of these. Great work as usual guys.
As a trucker for 19years, the speaker LED's are hands down the best lights around. High beams are as good as a 30" light bar. But they are expensive lol where I live speakers were 800$CAD just a few years ago. I just ordered some 5x7 auxbeams for my little toyota I been messing with lol can't find jack all on these perticular ones. I got them cuz they look like a 5x7 version of some rounds I bought for my womans 2011 jeep JK she had and they were unbelievable lol
Exactly the research I was looking for. Just give me the numbers and let me decide which product I want. And that's what you did. --- Thanks you, you just saved me 3-hours of research. ---
Great video. I was set on the JW speaker lights but realized that price is $260 per light! Maybe one day, for now the Sylvania at $50 for a pair will work.
Is there a reason why you choose the Morimoto Sealed5 instead of Sealed6? Just received my Morimoto Sealed6, and they need a lot of modification before mounting. Not a direct fit on my Nissan S13 200sx. (240sx US)
LOL the personal preferences make perfect sense. Made in the USA ofcourse. I feel like several of HLR reviews are a little biased to USA manufacturers but hey it's still a shootout so we get to see and judge for ourselves.
I have a 2002 gmc Savana van base model. Glass square headlights. What did you choose? I want direct bolt in with no issues. Factory glass look. Not alien style. Thanks
I will say that I had bought a led 5x7 from a business called altitude lighting that were insane for brightness and precision, but I do believe that the business has since been discontinued due to how expensive most of their products were.
Just upgraded my JW Speaker 8900's to the JW Speaker 8910 evo 2 heated version. Since I only drive my Jeep XJ in the winter, I think it was a good investment to get a heated headlight.
I'd like to add that you get what you pay for... Chinese lights might look cool, but the useable light is garbage. Great video, Chris... hopefully people will learn and understand about quality and beam patterns. My advice to anyone looking for LED headlights: save money and get JW Speaker. Spend your hard earned money once on the best you can get. JW Speaker LED headlights do not disappoint!
I watched this excellent video after seeing your review of the Holley RetroBright Sealed Beam 5x7. I'm wondering how the Holley would have compared if it was included in this review. I'm about to purchase (from you guys because of your videos) - so would love to know.
Are the Truck light reflector warm enough to keep them selves clear in snowy driving? Tired of having to get out every 4 or 5 miles to scrape my headlights clean of snow and Ice with my HIT lights.
@@HeadlightRevolution wish I hadn’t paid Jeep $971.00 as a ad on from the factory! Although amazingly bright! Three months of the year here where I live they are not so good and dangerous to have on your vehicle. Jeep said there are no recall on these for safety issues I pray nobody gets killed scraping these on the side of the highway like I have to.
I'm still rocking my 5x7 Halogens, I did an upgrade kit on the harness to them and it near doubled their output. Plus side of the old glass, is it never fades and it get's warm when on and melts snow and Ice. So I stuck with the tried and true, I don't need a lot of output. Still love the shootout, thanks for the info if I ever decide to do something different.
I have a 2008 dodge ram 1500 4x4 have a 2 projector headlight and I would like to know the best I can do to make my lights the briteest I can I have to use my fog lights to be able to see but niw they went out and I can hardly see the road at night please help
Was hoping to see if the GENSSI 5x7 Projector LED was reviewed. I have them in 3 of my cars and have even recommended them to others and they have liked them. Wonder how they would stack up to the ones in the video.
Just Googled that one, and it looks like a contender but hard to say without getting our hands on them. We didn't try to leave anything out - could have done 20 of them, but these were all our team found. Sorry for missing it!
@@HeadlightRevolution Not a problem, the ones reviewed were very helpful. I didnt know some could come with built in lens heaters which would definitely be helpful here in Michigan. The one downside of the GENSSI is the ability to glaze over really fast with road spray.
Superb information and presentation! Questions if I may take a moment of your time......... Is the hot spot ‘step’ exhibited by some LED units a design feature or an imperfection? Are these units suitable for right hand drive vehicles? You mention eye fatigue, what are the features that could lead to this?
Next up you guys should review 90mm led lights low and high beam options and some bi-led ones as well from brands such as Morimoto, DIAlight, Hella, JW Speaker and a few chinese knockoffs for comparison.
can you please do comparison of 3inch/90mm round headlight? they are very popular among RV and bus, i just upgarded my crappy karper head light to morimoto sealed3 biLED head, huge difference!
WELL done ! Crisp cut-off is my #1 criteria … which is why I lean toward E-code. Surprising to see the Philips. They’ve got a pretty HORRID record of Early Failures. Also Unfortunate that color temps are virtually ALWAYS in the 6000k realm. For older vehicles, the 4000-4800k temp are more ‘era-like’
im watching this because i love the glass headlight hate led. so i wanted to know the best sealed headlight not the best replacement. is there ant videos on best sealed headlight
I have auxbeams from last year and like them alot. Problem is in Canada needing DRL's they flicker. Had to unplug my DRL module. It was driving me nuts. Having to turn on my headlights on in summer on a bright hot day. Jeep Cherokee XJ's apparently don't send enough voltage from the module to run the DRL's properly😢 but with it unplugged you not only do not have DRL'S but also don't have a lit up dash indicator for brights which isn't a big deal. But the lights are so much better than stock Halogens
Have you tried using a pair of DRL Anti-Flicker modules? The DRL may run at full intensity, but it'll fix not having a DRL and thoe pesky error lights on the dash! Give us a shout - we can help! sales@headlightrevlolution.com or 218-755-5200
How did you know I was watching your old one? Y’all are honestly awesome with this!! Nearly every time I’m curious about something, y’all make a video.
Are these the headlights that would fit the 2000 Ford E350? It's actually a Jayco eagle RV, but the front end/engine is Ford e350, and the stock headlights are useless at night
Hi sir I have important question Why xenon look (blue glass) halogen bulbs have a shorter lifetime than standard color halogen bulbs even when both bulbs have the same brand and watts?!?!?!?!?!?!
I would add that if you have a low vehicle the affeax is very good cuz the dim lower section cant be seen I have had them on my rock hard suspension s10 for about 4 years now an no problems at all with reliability.
This is everything we have for the C1500: www.headlightrevolution.com/buyer-guide-by-vehicle/1989+Chevrolet+C1500 We recommend the Sealed5 for a more modern look, or the Holley Retrobright for the classic old-school look!
Trying to change my cluster blubs want to put a bright red blubs in I have 16 blubs I have a f150.5.0 xlt I need to know what red brights light I can use not sure how to get the answer my blubs push right in hope some one can help seen alot but dont know what I'm looking for any help would be thankfull Don
Hi, I'm from mexico and I need your recomendation to buy the best H4 LED for my Honda Civic 2002, I have bouth a couple that are crap, looks good buy the performance is terrible, I need one that can iluminate correctly the road, not onbly 5 mts ahead as the C6 or S6... pleas help... I have look a lot of videos and all of them are trying to sell the product as the best
I think you should stick to halogen for the best beam pattern possible, I looked it up and saw your headlights are plastic so if you were to install a high wattage halogen with a wiring upgrade and relays like the osram super bright 100/90w bulbs your housing might deform after a few months so I suggest you go with either osram night vision laser or Philips racing vision or some other bulb in that category, if you still want to go led then you can check out their video on the best bulbs ua-cam.com/video/LT-s4Eg7cyw/v-deo.html
One thing I would be curious to learn is how fast will the lights yellow or cataract in the bright Florida sunlight? That's always been a problem with non glass lenses. Is the UV damage Great video though! Thank you for your time and input!
I don't know the answer, but I put Cibie glass headlights in my Wagoneer (not DOT approved) and with a powerful xeon/halogen bulb, old school dual headlight relay and heavier wiring they are Great! Great pattern and cutoff, cheaper than quality LED and will not fade. I put glass Hella housings in my YJ Wrangler, not as good hi beam pattern but DOT approved, no fade but can choose my bulb unlike sealed beam originals.
I went on truck lite’s website and it shows they have 2 different 5x7 headlights. The 27450 ( the head light you tested) and the 27490. I’m wondering if there are differences besides what looks to be a different reflector . Thanks for the great videos, tons of great info. I’m also wondering if you can do a video of the vision X 5x7 housing with LED bulb shoot out . What bulb would be the best in that housing ?
I did not quite figure out how DOT regulations specify low beam patterns. here in the ECE regulated area it is quite easy but DOT seems to be all over the place. sometimes the low beams are flat with hotspor, sometimes you have a cutoff with an incline, sealed beams make kind of a banana
No hate at all, your tests and reviews are great. Two questions though: what voltage do you test the halogens at, and why don't you test H4 (preferably E-code) versions of the sealed beams from companies like Bosch or Hella? Not necessarily to sell them or to deflect attention from the LED offerings, but as another comparison point and benchmark. Most of these "DOT" headlights are obviously not DOT legal, so testing against an actual E-code should be no less valid.
No worries Matthew, our power supply is made by Pyramid and produces 14.4VDC. For your second question about testing H4 versions - this video was specifically to show people the dangers of some of the LED headlight options out there. Agreed that another valuable video may be more of a range to find the "absolute best" 5x7 option (LED or, Sealed Halogen, or Capsule Halogen) but that wasn't the point here. Thank you for feedback and watching!
@@HeadlightRevolution Thank you, that's my biggest worry with them. When they 1t came out I hated LED I would get blinded 1/2 a mile and across the wide divide ditch it was terrible. Glad they have improved I'll have to save my pennies though. 😉
I like the HR LED's that maintain the classic look of the old sealed beams, but they're way too expensive! I replaced both headlight assemblies on my 04' Highlander, AND upgraded to LED for less than 1/2 the price of what it would cost me to just switch to LED's for my classic truck.
Honestly, I was kinda disappointed with the Morimoto. I was so stoked when it came out, cuz I kept thinking "Why don't they have a 5x7 version of the Sealed7?" The exterior appearance is, IMO, its coolest feature. Black, sleak, and with the four switchback DRLs, it's eyecatching no doubt. However, while I understand that the pattern plays a HUUUGE role, and I personally am super picky with my light spread, I feel at times that the hotspot on my stock halogens isn't enough, and these are dimmer than its brightest point? Nope. Good looks got nothing to bring if they don't have the bite to back up all that bark and the price tag sticking out it's backside.
I have the Heated Black 8910 Evo 2's on my XL F250 - The low beam needs a little help (still better than the $h!tty Halogens) Chris is *ABSOLUTELY CORRECT* about High-Beam, they are Freakin' Bright as Heck and they have a Beam Pattern that is *AWESOME* - When I drove 1500 miles round trip, to pick up my "New to Me" F250, I literally ordered these from the Hotel on our way home! - If you live where it Snows...These and Bosch Snow Driver Windshield Wipers, and 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Winter Tires are my Top 3 Winter Improvements! - Chris knows what I mean...He lived/worked in Minnesnowta! - *Hey Chris...Can you guys do a shootout of these new "LED Plow Lights" Like J.W. Speaker has? - I know you guys don't have them on your website, I think you are missing out on a market... There are a lot of us guys that have older Plow lights (H6054) and while YES these lights fit in those housings...the NEW slim lights are less of an obstruction...Better Looking...Just Throwing it out there!* - As always keep up the fight against Chinese junk!
i got the Afeax for my d21 based on looks. Glad it wasnt towards the bottom and you are right, i drive with the high beams on because it lacks in the regular option. not worried about blinding others since my truck is super low.
@@HeadlightRevolution Actually it's NAPA that was my problem. The Hella's they sent me were the rectangular ones and didn't fit. Their website has the applications wrong. Being a craftsman that has to deal with measurements I can't wrap my head around something where 5x7 & 7x6 is the same size! Thank you for the very informative video and your reply!
Wow! Sure glad i watched this first!
We're glad you did too! This video isn't even to sell you anything... but someone's gotta warn people about all the garbage out there.

I have a 2008 dodge ram 1500 4x4 have a 2 projector headlight and I would like to know the best I can do to make my lights the briteest I can I have to use my fog lights to be able to see but niw they went out and I can hardly see the road at night please help
We have quite a few testing videos with the 2008 Ram! You can find them here: www.youtube.com/@HeadlightRevolution/search?query=2008%20ram
Was hoping to see if the GENSSI 5x7 Projector LED was reviewed. I have them in 3 of my cars and have even recommended them to others and they have liked them. Wonder how they would stack up to the ones in the video.
Just Googled that one, and it looks like a contender but hard to say without getting our hands on them. We didn't try to leave anything out - could have done 20 of them, but these were all our team found. Sorry for missing it!
@@HeadlightRevolution Not a problem, the ones reviewed were very helpful. I didnt know some could come with built in lens heaters which would definitely be helpful here in Michigan. The one downside of the GENSSI is the ability to glaze over really fast with road spray.
Superb information and presentation!
Questions if I may take a moment of your time.........
Is the hot spot ‘step’ exhibited by some LED units a design feature or an imperfection?
Are these units suitable for right hand drive vehicles?
You mention eye fatigue, what are the features that could lead to this?
They are made that way so they wont impede oncoming traffic.
Do some of them have a Blu-Ray laser inside that is focused on to a piece of material to produce white light that is very bright.
No.
Next up you guys should review 90mm led lights low and high beam options and some bi-led ones as well from brands such as Morimoto, DIAlight, Hella, JW Speaker and a few chinese knockoffs for comparison.
Good idea!
can you please do comparison of 3inch/90mm round headlight? they are very popular among RV and bus, i just upgarded my crappy karper head light to morimoto sealed3 biLED head, huge difference!
We can see if that can be setup.
@@HeadlightRevolution thanks!
Is there a 5x7 halogen "store bought" headlight comparison video ?
Not at this time, sorry!
This help me a lot on making a great decision on what to buy when it comes to Headligjts😏
Get the 8910 also has the dual burn light more plug and play to
This guy knows what's up! 😎
WELL done ! Crisp cut-off is my #1 criteria … which is why I lean toward E-code. Surprising to see the Philips. They’ve got a pretty HORRID record of Early Failures. Also Unfortunate that color temps are virtually ALWAYS in the 6000k realm. For older vehicles, the 4000-4800k temp are more ‘era-like’
Missed RC 5x7 and rigid industries 55003 your review are inconclusive will be watching for more 😊
im watching this because i love the glass headlight hate led. so i wanted to know the best sealed headlight not the best replacement. is there ant videos on best sealed headlight
Not at this time, sorry!
What about a 7x5 with a replaceable H4 (stock Yamaha XS1100E) with an LED globe? Have you done any tests with something like this? cheers
Not yet, maybe in the future though!
I have auxbeams from last year and like them alot. Problem is in Canada needing DRL's they flicker. Had to unplug my DRL module. It was driving me nuts. Having to turn on my headlights on in summer on a bright hot day. Jeep Cherokee XJ's apparently don't send enough voltage from the module to run the DRL's properly😢 but with it unplugged you not only do not have DRL'S but also don't have a lit up dash indicator for brights which isn't a big deal. But the lights are so much better than stock Halogens
Have you tried using a pair of DRL Anti-Flicker modules? The DRL may run at full intensity, but it'll fix not having a DRL and thoe pesky error lights on the dash! Give us a shout - we can help! sales@headlightrevlolution.com or 218-755-5200
You may need something like a resistor or a DRL module!
When you started talking about hallway, I thought you were gonna start talking about hotdogs... LOL!
Cmon now 😂
@@HeadlightRevolution Well... that is a common saying where I live in Minnesnowta...
Can you please make a video about Freightliner Columbia headlights and if you get in the trucking industry The will be the best
It's on the road map! Going to be looking at classic cars next though :)
Do you have a part number for the Phillips LED light I can’t seem to fine that one I would like to see what they cost
Here you go PE54AR
Any way you can show. 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD LT with GTR or S-V.4 ??
How did you know I was watching your old one?
Y’all are honestly awesome with this!!
Nearly every time I’m curious about something, y’all make a video.
hahaha thanks for watching!
Are these the headlights that would fit the 2000 Ford E350? It's actually a Jayco eagle RV, but the front end/engine is Ford e350, and the stock headlights are useless at night
If it's using 5x7 sealed beams, these will fit!
Hi sir
I have important question
Why xenon look (blue glass) halogen bulbs have a shorter lifetime than standard color halogen bulbs even when both bulbs have the same brand and watts?!?!?!?!?!?!
Any reviews on Lumen SB7823XX-BLK - 7"?
I would add that if you have a low vehicle the affeax is very good cuz the dim lower section cant be seen I have had them on my rock hard suspension s10 for about 4 years now an no problems at all with reliability.
What if I put the jw8900 on a bike? Cuz that's what I'm searching the light for
You can absolutely upgrade sealed beams on bikes!
Great vid for the commercial trucks!!!!
You're right! More than anyone else really
Now to get work to pay for the upgrade!!!
And they did!!!
No vision x products in this show down?
If they had a 5x7 size we would have!
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
Where can I get led headlights for a 89 c1500 sealed beam,I believe the size is 92mmx150mm
This is everything we have for the C1500: www.headlightrevolution.com/buyer-guide-by-vehicle/1989+Chevrolet+C1500
We recommend the Sealed5 for a more modern look, or the Holley Retrobright for the classic old-school look!
@@HeadlightRevolution just what I was looking for !!!

Very interesting
Right!
3:53 That might just be thier attempt at recreating the ECE beam pattern, however the hotspot is extremely abnormal if it is.
Dang, i think i got the same thing as the bicyaco. I thought the xut odf would have been good because of the design
Freggin awesome job. I will be going to your site and ordering some of the Je speaker lights
Sorry spellcheck strikes again. JW Speaker lights for my 97 XJ. Agin thank you so much for this
Thanks Tyler!
Hi, I'm from mexico and I need your recomendation to buy the best H4 LED for my Honda Civic 2002, I have bouth a couple that are crap, looks good buy the performance is terrible, I need one that can iluminate correctly the road, not onbly 5 mts ahead as the C6 or S6... pleas help... I have look a lot of videos and all of them are trying to sell the product as the best
I think you should stick to halogen for the best beam pattern possible, I looked it up and saw your headlights are plastic so if you were to install a high wattage halogen with a wiring upgrade and relays like the osram super bright 100/90w bulbs your housing might deform after a few months so I suggest you go with either osram night vision laser or Philips racing vision or some other bulb in that category, if you still want to go led then you can check out their video on the best bulbs

Good video. Boy those lights really break the bank though 😭
Buy once, cry once! Get the good stuff with the good warranty and you won't have to buy new ones when the cheapos fail! 😉
One thing I would be curious to learn is how fast will the lights yellow or cataract in the bright Florida sunlight? That's always been a problem with non glass lenses. Is the UV damage Great video though! Thank you for your time and input!
I don't know the answer, but I put Cibie glass headlights in my Wagoneer (not DOT approved) and with a powerful xeon/halogen bulb, old school dual headlight relay and heavier wiring they are Great! Great pattern and cutoff, cheaper than quality LED and will not fade. I put glass Hella housings in my YJ Wrangler, not as good hi beam pattern but DOT approved, no fade but can choose my bulb unlike sealed beam originals.
You did not compare Osram. What's your recommend on them?
We have not tested any of their assemblies before, maybe next time!
Please do an update on this size!
I went on truck lite’s website and it shows they have 2 different 5x7 headlights. The 27450 ( the head light you tested) and the 27490. I’m wondering if there are differences besides what looks to be a different reflector . Thanks for the great videos, tons of great info. I’m also wondering if you can do a video of the vision X 5x7 housing with LED bulb shoot out . What bulb would be the best in that housing ?

What’s the best headlight for a 93 mr2 turbo?
I would suggest the Morimoto Sealed beam headlights!
Cool the ones that are worth are way past my budget very nice lol
We're currently running a 15% 4th of July sale, take advantage of it!
I did not quite figure out how DOT regulations specify low beam patterns. here in the ECE regulated area it is quite easy but DOT seems to be all over the place. sometimes the low beams are flat with hotspor, sometimes you have a cutoff with an incline, sealed beams make kind of a banana
Can y’all do leds on a 2020 Silverado hd
Yes shoot us an email at Sales@headlightrevolution.com
No hate at all, your tests and reviews are great. Two questions though: what voltage do you test the halogens at, and why don't you test H4 (preferably E-code) versions of the sealed beams from companies like Bosch or Hella? Not necessarily to sell them or to deflect attention from the LED offerings, but as another comparison point and benchmark. Most of these "DOT" headlights are obviously not DOT legal, so testing against an actual E-code should be no less valid.
No worries Matthew, our power supply is made by Pyramid and produces 14.4VDC.
For your second question about testing H4 versions - this video was specifically to show people the dangers of some of the LED headlight options out there. Agreed that another valuable video may be more of a range to find the "absolute best" 5x7 option (LED or, Sealed Halogen, or Capsule Halogen) but that wasn't the point here. Thank you for feedback and watching!
What about blinding on coming traffic?
Not a worry with these!
@@HeadlightRevolution Thank you, that's my biggest worry with them. When they 1t came out I hated LED I would get blinded 1/2 a mile and across the wide divide ditch it was terrible. Glad they have improved I'll have to save my pennies though. 😉
Hey guys. Im looking for a 7x6 sealed beam led headlights but with a 3000 kelvin color
Unfortunately, we don't have anything in that size that would come in 3000k, sorry!
I like the HR LED's that maintain the classic look of the old sealed beams, but they're way too expensive! I replaced both headlight assemblies on my 04' Highlander, AND upgraded to LED for less than 1/2 the price of what it would cost me to just switch to LED's for my classic truck.
You can definitely upgrade lighting on a budget, too! This video is for the best of the best where money isn't considered, only performance! 😅
Why is there only right side lights?
Because we are a US based company we typically only test LHD products.
Gracias por la información
Honestly, I was kinda disappointed with the Morimoto. I was so stoked when it came out, cuz I kept thinking "Why don't they have a 5x7 version of the Sealed7?"
The exterior appearance is, IMO, its coolest feature. Black, sleak, and with the four switchback DRLs, it's eyecatching no doubt. However, while I understand that the pattern plays a HUUUGE role, and I personally am super picky with my light spread, I feel at times that the hotspot on my stock halogens isn't enough, and these are dimmer than its brightest point? Nope. Good looks got nothing to bring if they don't have the bite to back up all that bark and the price tag sticking out it's backside.
Can't say we disagree here. Thank you for your feedback - it's our opinion that the JW Speaker headlight is the best 5x7 LED headlight in the world.
@@HeadlightRevolution I would agree, not enough companies are coming out with LEDs that are the lower color temp like the Evos
I have the Heated Black 8910 Evo 2's on my XL F250 - The low beam needs a little help (still better than the $h!tty Halogens) Chris is *ABSOLUTELY CORRECT* about High-Beam, they are Freakin' Bright as Heck and they have a Beam Pattern that is *AWESOME* - When I drove 1500 miles round trip, to pick up my "New to Me" F250, I literally ordered these from the Hotel on our way home! - If you live where it Snows...These and Bosch Snow Driver Windshield Wipers, and 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Winter Tires are my Top 3 Winter Improvements! - Chris knows what I mean...He lived/worked in Minnesnowta! - *Hey Chris...Can you guys do a shootout of these new "LED Plow Lights" Like J.W. Speaker has? - I know you guys don't have them on your website, I think you are missing out on a market... There are a lot of us guys that have older Plow lights (H6054) and while YES these lights fit in those housings...the NEW slim lights are less of an obstruction...Better Looking...Just Throwing it out there!* - As always keep up the fight against Chinese junk!

i got the Afeax for my d21 based on looks. Glad it wasnt towards the bottom and you are right, i drive with the high beams on because it lacks in the regular option. not worried about blinding others since my truck is super low.
Zentec hid ???
hi , can i online shopping it ?
Yes!
I have 2 failures lol. But different brands. And they have been just fine for us.
Thanks for your comment
I’d really like to see a real world comparison of the Truck Lite and the the Philips.
We could maybe do that next time!
5x7 also known as 7x6 WTH????? My headlights are 5 1/8"x 7 1/2" do I need the 5x7 or the 7x6???

@@HeadlightRevolution Actually it's NAPA that was my problem. The Hella's they sent me were the rectangular ones and didn't fit. Their website has the applications wrong. Being a craftsman that has to deal with measurements I can't wrap my head around something where 5x7 & 7x6 is the same size! Thank you for the very informative video and your reply!
Should test the light output of the GE 4635! It’s a brute!
Maybe soon!
