LED low beams installed

Djdecybals · Mar 6, 2015

My first post. Got a 2013 Si coupe. Decided to change the factory halogens and grabbed these off eBay. Output is nice and color is awesome, 6000K. I LOVE the "instant on" advantage. Only issue is I didn't notice the bulb had all of the LED's on one side only. Only the top part of the housing is used as a reflector. They are still better than factory bulbs. What do you guys think?

What about a nighttime shot of the cutoff?

I had these installed in my Chevy Cruze at one point. I had it in for about a day then switched them back out for halogens. It's great that it instantly turns on and has a nicer color than halogens but you lose a LOT of useable light. The one I purchased claimed that it had 2300 lumens but it was nowhere near that. More like 500 lumens. It was very hard to see when driving at night. Which, because of my job requires me to do a lot of. I loved how they looked but it just wasn't worth the risk IMHO. I guess I just prefer function over form. Just my two cents.

I see way more with these than the factory halogens. I just am not sure of what I'm missing with only half of the bulb being functional. I'll take a picture of the cut off later tonight and post it.

Looks good. I'm selling something similar. I bought LED lights from xenon depot thought. The instant on was def. awesome. I decided to go back to halogens but will try PIAA. Now just waiting for the LED's to sell.
