New version LED headlights installed!

Is that 4500lumens rating per bulb? I'm guessing it is combined for both lights, since they list as 40watts but the description says 20watt bulb.

FWIW 35w HID is 3100 lumens per bulb and 55w HID is 3600 lumens. It's got to be illegal if it is 4500 lumens per bulb.

 

It is 2400 Lumens per light. A combined total of 4800 Lumens for both running simultaneously. They run at 20W apparently per bulb and have a power draw of 1.5a on the circuit.

 

Got it, Roberto. Thanks again.

 

No problem bud. Sorry for the late reply but I'm glad you got it figured out! Enjoy the awesome lighting!!

 

ok, that's what I thought. Just strange someone mentioned the 2400 lumens is brighter than a 3100lumens HID. or maybe he got one of those cheaper HID, then that would make sense. Anyway, this looks like a good option, just for the convenience of plug and play alone and not have to install ballasts etc. I paid the same for a pair of AC ballast HID from ebay seller based in Hayward,CA so don't have to wait as long.

 

Definitely so. I am all for simplicity and ease of installation, and these definitely fit the bill well in that department!

 

I think I may get a set of these CREE LEDs, from the sounds of it they're working pretty well for the OP. I might give em a shot. Thanks for the info!

Along with a set of these

because I don't trust myself to do the blackout headlight mod lol.

 

Just make sure you add extra sealant to the back to prevent them from fogging up. Aftermarket headlights are known to do that.

Welcome to TW, btw.

 

Definitely, I've seen people stress that quite a bit on here. Thanks for the tip and the warm welcome !

 

any follow up on these? good bad or ugly?

 

The ones I bought are still doing well.

 

OP.....
Can you give us an update on your led bulb? I like the simplicity of plug n play.

Thanks.

 

The biggest problem with the ebay lights in the original post, is that WHEN they fail, you'll have to return them to China and wait a couple months for a replacement.

 

Update. On my way to work this morning, I noticed the right headlight started flickering. I stopped at a gas station to disconnect it. I'm guessing the ballast is going out? I decided to go the KISS way and go to with an OEM type replacement.

 

I do the same thing and keep my zXe's underneath my back seat just in case one happens to go out. So far so good but it can happen anytime.

 

Well I ended up ordering the same LEDs as the OP on Ebay (from a different seller though) and after ordering I received an email that they no longer made that version. They sent the "Gen 2" version. I was a bit skeptical about that, but so far I'm pretty pleased.

Here is what they look like.



I also ordered these and sealed them to make sure they didn't get any moisture buildup. So far so good.

I haven't gotten around to taking any pictures of them installed, but I am very pleased with the light output of the LEDs thus far. I'll post again once I get some pictures.

 

Any pics of these installed? Review?

 

The high beam looks poor in quality.

 

Oppps

 

Interested and subscribed.
I have a question, though.
I have factory fog lights; does anyone know if there are replacement LED bulbs that would match the LED headlights? It appears as though the OP's fog lights are aftermarket, but they color match well.
