When you start screwing with the light source the optics were made for, who knows what you'll get. What you want is the bright light to be projected down the road where it's useful. An example of this is why fog lights turn off with your high beams, the extra light up close to the vehicle (foreground) causes your pupils to constrict and decreases your distance vision. You can have the leds be twice as bright as the halogen bulbs, but if they're not putting the light in a useful place in the beam, you still won't be able to see well. The led emitters cannot replicate the thin and narrow light source of a halogen bulb's filament. Purpose built led headlights can work well, but dropping led "bulbs" into a reflector made for a halogen bulb will not produce a good light pattern. Just make sure they have a warranty and aren't cheap ebay junk. I can tell you this with 100% certainty as I had them on my car, my wife has them in her truck, both of my daughters have them in their cars so do their boy friends as do many of my friends.įor your high beams I say deff go for it you'll love them! Like I said before get a good set, I like OPT7 they're real nice but some newer stuff on the market may be brighter. LED headlights have come a looooong way in recent years and them not having good light output is a thing of the past. With the LED low beam headlights andįog lights on it lit up highway road signs almost 2 miles out! With the highbeams on it would easy! Why? No warm up time! Hit the high beams and BAM they were on! Also had LED fog lights too. I also had them on the high beams as well and in there they were BETTER then the 35w HID'S I had. The plus to LED'S are no ballasts and no need to drill the dust cover on the back of most vehicles headlights. They are brighter then 35w HID but the light is more scattered the further away you go. I went with OPT7 LED bulbs in my old G8 and the light output was just slightly less then the 35w HID kit I had. LED headlights DO provide good light, better in fact then halogen bulbs but not quite as good as HID.īUT you CAN NOT buy cheap junk ones! You HAVE to get a decent set so if you go LED be ready to shell out around $100 for the set.
