Regarding LED Replacement Bulbs

I am looking to replace my stock OEM headlight bulbs with an LED bulb. I was looking at this model from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Fahren-H4-90...&keywords=9003+LED+bulb&qid=1615482437&sr=8-7

My question is, are these as simple to install as claimed - plug and play? Will the cooling fan need a separate wire for it to work? How about head dissipation inside the lens, will the lens melt?

Kind of new to all of this and want to replace the burned out lights with something brighter that is easy and will be no trouble.

Opinions and thoughts are welcomed!

Thanks guys and gals!

As noted in the second thread, though, high-powered halogen bulbs have a short life, so you could end up replacing bulbs twice a year.

coles notes, your housing is for halogen bulbs. putting in LED's will cause a lot of light bleed and underperform.

High end halogen harness upgrade is the most cost effective an easiest upgrade for our vehicles.

retrofit if you want to go LED /HID Route.

 

I originally tried some cheap led head light bulbs in my tacoma(auxbeam).. first time I went out at night with them I barely made it home cuz of the poor light output. I went back to halogen for ahwile but now I’m running the morimoto 2stroke 3.0 and am very pleased.

I have very expensive LED bulbs in my stock headlights. Waste of.money and very disappointing experience. The stock headlight housings do not.disperse the light from LED bulbs at all.

 

Please don’t.

 

Thanks, all, for the input. I'll stick to OEM Halogens!

 

Love my new Led upgrade, replaced all headlights low, high, and fogs with Auxbeam H11 bulbs, then put the Vled V6 Tritons Switchbacks for my DRL’s. Excellent light output on all with no hyper flash. On rear I’m running Lasfit Red 7443 for brake lights with built in resistors and Underground Lighting 7443 Red Brake light Bulbs, Turn Signal LED W/ Built in Resistors for rear turn signals. Love the setup no problems so far.

I’ll save you a lot of reading. If you are going to do LED (and bask in that sexy 6000°K glow), do the Morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 or the Hikari Ultras. Just the Ultras, not the other ones!

 

The only reason I would ever want to be LE would just to hand out tickets to all the assholes who run crap bulbs with reflectors blinding the living piss out of everyone. By far, makes me unreasonably angry.

 

I agree with captain, what's a good reason to blind the folks you are meeting at 70mph 6' to your left???? Do it right or don't do it.

 

Yay lov being blinded by knobs who use LEDs bulbs in the wrong housings.
