LEDs headlights plug and play

I'm looking for LEDs that aren't too high priced or just headlights that aren't too high price don't want to go to hid really just want to go plug and play I found a set from a local guy around here in town he wants 150 for fog and headlights plug and play seem to be really bright lights. Any one have any suggestions.?

 

The first question I'd have to ask is why you want to go with LED's in the first place. If all you want lower current draw, then they're the ideal candidate. If you want more light on the ground, beware. Many pnp LED replacement bulbs are just plain junk with junk being defined as less usable light on the ground, more glare for oncoming drivers and shorter bulb life. In many cases you'll spend way more money than you would for high quality halogen replacement bulbs and end up with nothing in return.

 

BTW, bulbs that "look bright" and bulbs that "put more usable light on the ground" are not always the same thing.

 

What should I go with from the Auto Parts store I have the Sylvina ones X something they were pretty good.

 

Take a look at this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/why-leds-should-not-be-run-in-halogen-reflectors.454371/

For stock wattage plug and play bulb upgrades available at the autoparts store, I would recommend these which are some of the highest performing stock wattage bulbs available.

• Philips Xtreme +100
• Osram Nightbreaker +110

Any bulb that has the glass entirely coated in blue to look whiter, will actually reduce light output meaning they will be lower performing.

What you say the kelvin color would be on the ones you listed? I didn't see it on their sites. I agree, LEDs should not be run in our housings...I'd just like a very white, no yellow headight.

 

X2 on both of these. Remember, brand new halogen bulbs will always put down more light than even the exact same bulb that's one or two years old and starting to fade.

 

I believe they are in the mid-3000k range, they are a little whiter than stock but not significantly. A fully coated bulb can be 4000k temp range, which will appear white, not blueish-white like 6000k LEDs. For stock wattage over the counter 4000k bulbs these are basically Sylvania Silverstars, however the coating will reduce output from stock, so if you want higher output and whiter coated bulbs from a halogen source, you need to turn up the wattage.

Take a look at the "Other Bulbs" section of the headlight upgrade thread down near the bottom of the original post. The Optilux high power coated bulbs are 4000k and I have a comparison breakdown in lumen output and bulb life compared to their non-coated counterparts. Using those bulbs with the harness will produce significantly more light than stock, white being a white non-halogen looking light, and still maintain proper lighting optics to not blind oncoming drivers.

I would not suggest any halogen bulb over 4000k, as the blue coating will be so dark to reach that color that it will significantly impair the function of the bulb.

These are the ones i used.... been using them for over 2 years now no regrets

 

See the post earlier about why exactly you should not be using those without a projector.

 

thats a pretty good write up very interesting but we were always of the impression that halogen is a thing of the past...

 

So me people think halogens are a thing of the past. But improperly engineered LEDs are not the thing of the future.
