    Great vid! A clear example of you get what you pay for in this case. That's why I don't mind spending the extra money for better lighting when I have to.

    However, there are exceptions to this rule and every once and while you spend less and get the same as people spending more. My light bars are like that.

    Ebay model, you take your chances. Dual color, good output, though no strobe functions, or combined color output. just switchable between 3000K (yellow) and 6000K (white) colors.
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-dual-co...4-9005-9006-9007-9012-880-9000LM/142871179541

    36Watt , fan cooled, though raw lumen output is exaggerated, as are most of these type of ads.
    Realistically, an educated guess you are likely to get about 1800 - 2000 Lumen per bulb, and this should be a considerable improvement over stock, pending the beam pattern. If used in a projector it should work quite well; Reflector housing its a gamble on if you will have glare, or unwelcome shadows. Overall the design of this bulb is good with its thin center point, getting the light source as close as possible to stock filament location in the one axis.

    These are awesome! Thanks for sharing the videos. I can tell you first hand with the products I have from you guys, they are excellent quality and the performance is spot on!

    Dude, I'm blown away by what you're doing here. He simply answered a question that a member asked which was "Has anybody tried these out yet?". I'm getting tired of so many people trying to discredit a good company that's working hard to get their name and product out there. It would be one thing if their quality of products was cheap china made crap, but thats the farthest from what they have. I have 4 different products of theirs and all of them are grade A. I have a LED headlight bulb that destroyed Hikari both in Brightness, Throw, and Performance, as well as quality and i am a huge fan of Hikari.

    Thank you for posting what you did and having their back on this one. Thanks for seeing it for what it truly was. That's why I enjoy this forum so much. :thumbsup:

    Bulbfacts.com is a review site for Headlight bulbs, and they rank deAutoLED LED headlight bulb at the top of their premium list for the amount of light produced onto the road, and high up for their beam accuracy.
