LED Headlight experiment

Re: LED Headlight experiment

How does the light output vary by vehicle? I can't think of a way...

I still think 8000K is too blue for street use, and should be left in the domain of the showcar or wayward Honda Civic SI owner.....

Left 8000k, right 5000k

I'll still take my hid retro over those leds anytime. Better width, distance, cutoff, high beam and twice the output. I'm sure they are better than the stock sealed units, as pretty well anything is better than those.

LED's when they are 100% road ready with simple drop in replacements will be perfect for the purists who don't want to modify the look of their truck from it's original 1993 look. The photos above look really great, I'm impressed with how far LED lighting has come, and so quickly. However, I'm going to have to agree with Blazin_Jason above that the best light output you can get right now would be a proper HID projector retrofit with some D2S bulbs. It's a pain getting them in, but worth all that effort in the end.

Here's the whole process from start to finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7iMCtuVxXs
