LifeTime LED Headlights??

Interested, I have lost two headlights bulbs in the last 2 years, and spent about $40 on the new set, so $150 doesnt seem terrible, would prefer if they could hit a $99 price point.

 

Ok, just to settle this. The 2014 Accord Sedan v6 with Touring option...plain as day on Honda's website.



I've also seen a Toyota commercial talking about LED headlights...but i don't have time to look that one up for you

 

I find this interesting. I am already running a set to Truck-Lite 7" round LED headlights as driving lights behind my grill. I'd like to see how these do with the Tacoma housings. Only thing I don't like about the idea is that they don't get heated up like standard lights, so they can form on the lenses while driving in cold conditions.

 

Thanks for the info! When I went to their website and "built" an Accord, it showed to me "plain as day" that it was with LEDs in the DRL, not the headlights. I wasn't trying to start any pissing match with you. I simply stated what I had found. You found the information I didn't see. It is hard to tell obviously in text, but it seems like you were getting a little pissy there. Maybe I am reading into it.


I guess it seems that the LED headlights are now becoming more available. Not standard equipment yet, but optional at least. Would be interesting to see how well they do light up the road. Never seen one at night that I know of yet.

 

Lol, no worries, I was not getting "pissy." I wonder how long until they become standard equipment...

I saw a new Acura SUV on the highway a few weeks ago...looked like HIDs until it came up beside me and it was definitely LED. Pretty excited to see what the future holds for headlights.

 

I wonder if it's one of those things that vary based on zipcode when you build on the site.

I believe the newer Metro buses we have around here may have LED headlights. They don't look like HIDs but I know they aren't halogens.

Edit: I just tried it and the touring model specifies LED headlights with auto on/off. Didn't have to put in a zipcode either.

 

I wasn't sure. That is why I was trying to be tactful. I am told several times that in MY posts, I sometimes come across as being a condescending prick. I am thinking "WTF?" I was just saying something. So I always try to do my best to clarify things.

Some things may be regional, but when I went back and looked at the same Honda he looked up, it does mention LED headlights as an option on the touring model. I looked up a coupe, and just clicked on the best one they showed (assuming it would have all the bells and whistles) and it showed no LED headlights. So I went off that. I was wrong. I am big enough to admit it.

 

Truck light has LED headlights too. They replace the sealed beams, so early first gens can benefit, but not the rest of us...
Here's a video off their website.

I PM'ed Steve of SE Overland and linked me to a new light output pic. Not a comparison pic but shows LED bulb output on an FJ Cruiser.

hold on i need to resize

Pics are here (some already posted elsewhere)

Low and Hi beam shots for LEDS:

 

look pretty impressive

 

SUBd

 

That sucks. You will love them

 

Anytime you have a qualifier of not trying to be a..., you probably are succeeding

That's why I even posted a picture of said LED headlamps, for your information and viewing pleasure.

 

My friend has the new Acura MDX and it has led head lights

 

Update on these over in the blue room:

Says pics taken with an iPad, and I don't know if I am just an idiot but it is hard to tell much difference in hi beams and low beam pattern.

 

So it we now have technology to make head lamps... How come all LED DTRLS are so lame?

 

Oh another review in an Fj owner's Dodge Ram/H13's (they crapped out on him for low beams):

The reviews on the other forum make these sound so much more worth it!! UGHHH... now i don't know what to spend my money on next

 

I'm still working on mine. I got a set for my gfs car, 9006 bulbs. They seem to fit in more than one way and they are a bitch to get to to make sure that they are correctly seated. The Passenger side is facing horizontal and the Driver side is facing vertical. I changed them so they are both vertical. I may have to take the whole housing off the car to see what's going on.

Passenger side:


Here you can see the difference in how they project:
