LED headlights!

That looks nice.. I see its a new design.. Hmmm

Edit:
Found another one of those mini projectors. Looks better construction and reviews show the beam pattern and not 3 color ones.

I am on the brink of getting some hlxg led h4s.. Just noticed some bulbs have 72watts per pair some 50watts..which ones do I get?

[MacClyver]

50w is plenty. I bought these for $70 4 years ago, price has dropped significantly since. These don't have the radio buzz some LEDs allegedly produce.

That's how they look compared to standard halogens. Low beams on top, high beams on bottom.


I tried installing them in my Mirage. Didn't throw any error codes and with the crystal clear lenses were wonderful for nighttime visibility. However I was unable to get the rubber dustguards back on when I put the LEDs in.

How is the beam pattern on those?
I plan to get some from aliexpress since they come in cheaper. The reason i asked if 72w will work is because the good ones i see are mostly 72.
Oh and are those csp chips?

[MacClyver]

I had never heard of csp before but based on quick research I believe mine are. Not sure about the beam pattern. Never tested it.

If you'd rather get 72w go for it.

The case for 48w to me is:
-They are plenty bright
-72w produces more heat, heat kills LEDs
-Assuming 100% energy conversion as the alternator keeps the battery topped always: 48v vs 72v less saves you a litre of gas every 400 hours of operation.

Regardless of the type and model, most LED H4's are of the bright/cool white variety.

I'd recommend that you focus your selection criteria on the color temperature rather than on the watts rating as LEDs are brighter than halogens in general. Find models that fall in the 4000-5000K color temperature range.

If you have access to Mirage Pilipinas, here's the link for my explanation.

Should you stick w/ the decision to buy the cool whites, however, you have to change your fog lights into yellow ones.

Thanks for that. I was wondering how the additional wattage would affect the car electrical system. I am looking into getting 5k 72w hlxg h4's since they are on sale in aliexpress

Does MPH charge fees for access?

Out of curiosity, I tried to browse that forum but was unable to see much.

I have no idea.. Was actually surprised i got banned.
I have also been thinking on a bi-led projector but I am concered on the weight. The threaded mount will surely stress out the h4 mount and reflector and could fail..

After two weeks or so of LED use I must say they are amazing. I really prefer the cool white light, it seems to increase the contrast greatly. You can have gobs and gobs of watts but without contrast they mean nothing.

The pattern of my LEDs is perfect. I have incredible high beam range and amazing full road low beam coverage. I couldn't be happier.
