![]() You should NEVER plug a HID kit into your factory head light wiring harness. I'll give you guys the low down on HID kits. Remember, true white is 6000K-6500K, don't settle for anything less.So. Hence for me, most of the time I use only my foglights LED with LED pole light, without turning on my main headlights, as its already freaking bright. Hence if you have foglights, die die must install as it directly lights up the road below. For non-projector housing, just til the bulb lower, the side scatter will not blind others, in fact, lighting up the sides is safer as you can see more objects besides the road, from those kids or E-Scooters riders, who will suddenly dash out. Whether projector or non-projector doesn’t matter. Actually lower looks nicer as it lights up the road with a white patch, super satki. if you feel like it, adjust higher, else set it lower. The most important is you don't blind others, so you'll have to adjust the tilt to lower/lowest setting, most cars comes with such leveling settings either behind the housing or inside the cabin, like mine has 0 - 5, setting. In fact, if your headlight is yellowish or below 5000K then you are the odd one out, LOL. These days, TP/LTA don't even bother much as majority of headlights now, if you look at your rear mirror are all 6500K white lights.lol. Installation cost is from $10-$20 typically.īut of course, when comes to inspection, you know what to do. If you are using CSP type for foglights, the cables comes with a driver unit so cable is longer, you'll need to cable-tie it, all these leave it to the mechanic. For foglights, of course its better for you to go to mechanics. ![]() Since LED headlights have become so cheap and good, just get one and just plug and play. Try not to order from overseas, if wanna get those COB/CSP type from local online like Carousell whom have order in and tested it themselves, some come with 3 mths or 2 years warranty from 36W-40W.īrightness is a freaking 4000lm minimum, equal to HID brightness and yet consumes less than half the power of halogen.Īnother advantage is its less hot on inside the housing, hence won't damage the clear lens unlike oven-baking halogen bulb.Ĭhanging is super easy for headlights. So why go lower colour temp? Unless you are using halogen then of course no choice as its lumens are inherently not high enough above 4300K, hence halogens always CMI. Once you see 6500K, immediately steam, its the same colour as new cars stock LED headlights anyways. CSP type is smaller with same brightness but cleaner white, like CPU nanotech, hence less heat and don't need fan but only cooling fins.Īll come with 6500K super white. It just defeats the value purpose of changing from halogen.ĬOB type will need fan as it larger/older technology. Price can vary from a mere $30 to $90 for H11s/H4/H7s. Good and cheap ones are those using CSP LED chips from Korea. Main thing is at least must be using COB (Chip on Board) type or the latest CSP (Chip Scale Package) type. Just like SSD which used to have many problems, Car LED technology will jump every few months, so you have to catch up and now has been cheaper and much more reliable recently. So now Phillips/Osrams are eating own selves. These days, esp for the past two years, the quality of China LED bulbs have improved by leaps and bounds. Most new car models also come with BI-LED headlights lights, no more HID, like the new Corolla for instance.įew years back, China LED headlight bulbs will easily spoil after a few weeks/months, hence Phillips/Osram have been sucking bloods from people selling their LED kits for $300+. Don't waste time with Halogen which sucks power/drains batteries and fuel of course.
