Has anybody installed Helios or Kong LED headlights?

I’ve ordered from this site in the past. A lot of selection and their prices are good but not necessarily the cheapest. But they don’t sell junk either.

They may be bright but it appears they don't last. Look at the vendor's description:

Hella H4/9003/HB2 60/55W Xenon Bulb, Premium

HL78150L
+30% Long Life
1,350 Lumens
1500 Hr Avg Life
$9.32/ea

HL78151
+50% Premium
1895 Lumens
200 Hr Avg Life
$12.79/ea

If the HL78150L is burned for only two hours a day, you can expect to replace them in two years.
1500 ÷ 2 = 750
750 ÷ 360 = 2.083

If the HL78151 is burned for only two hours a day, you can expect to replace them in a little over three months.
200 ÷ 2 = 100

Anyone doing ride share can answer this: Will the headlights be on for more than 2 hours each day?

I wouldn't want to spend money on these bulbs just to replace them soon.

Bulbs that burn brighter burn out faster. One bulb is 1,350 lumens, the other is 1,895 lumens. There is no real way around it.

One kind of bulb I have sworn off is Sylvania XtraVisions purchased at Walmart. I started ordering Philips VisionPlus off of Amazon, and they last much, much longer.

Don't even get me started on their Silverstar Ultras...
