Led lights

I put these lights in earlier today and I’ve been trying to get the beams to look right all night lol. I’ve angled the leds every which way and it still doesn’t come out looking quite right, just hoping that I’m not blinding people on the road.

Welcome aboard


This is best

 

Factory housings are not designed for LED "replacement bulbs" if you go that route, you are the asshole on the road blinding everyone.

 

Our headlight reflectors are NOT designed for LED bulbs. They will just scatter and blind people. With the factory headlights, you gotta stick to old school bulbs.

 

^^^
What they said. And judging by the picture, these will probably rank with the worst offenders of scattering light/poor beam focus.

 

so there’s a sticky on upgrading harness and bulbs designed to work. Which, what I have, was a whopping $7 per bulb

or better bulbs than can still be run without the harness, affordably

which you can afford a harness too since you splurged on a 12-15 facelift

but you decided to get an LED brand nobody’s heard of. To put into a halogen housing. With Chinese font labeling on the box. That will blind people

with fogs on when there’s no fog

I hope you get a ticket

also not sure why there is a giant piece of plastic glued onto your door

 

^^^Now now, no need to rude, I originally bought LED bulbs too before coming here and fixing my mistake after doing the needed research

I purchased these:

$33 Philips RacingVision GT200 H4 car headlight bulb +200%, set of 2 White

You've been misled into buying garbage that will blind everyone one the road and is actually a performance downgrade from stock. You've lost distance projection by running LEDs. You can't adjust the bulbs to fix incompatible optics, doesn't matter how much time you spend trying. LEDs do not work in halogen housings, especially dual filament halogen housings like a 9003/H4 of the 2nd Gen where the light spill can fall into the high beam optics causing drastically increased excessive glare. There is a reason why those products are illegal.

As others linked, look at the 2nd Gen headlight thread. You'll have drastically higher output than LED could ever achieve with better distance projection, proper optics, less glare and overall far better performance.

 

I have seen the error of my ways thank you all.
