Upgraded my Headlights to LED's

I just installed these on my 348. Very pleased with the result as they are much brighter than stock. The plug and play feature is really nice too. It really lights up the road like my wife's Mercedes. You can really pick out much more detail while driving. Thanks Mike!

 

I need to test this a bit more, but overall they filled the road pretty well and were much brighter than stock.

 

Nice mod.

 

I'd guess the reason they don't put one on the tip is the that without some form of diffusion it would be too bright for on-coming drivers to look at.

Glad you're modding your car to your tastes Chris! Getting the LED's installed on my car in the next few days.

thanks to this thread I am looking at installing LED's as well.
very nice mod

 

So distance lighting on these is good as well? While I don't drive a lot at night occasionally I'm out after dark and the halogens just don't cut it that well.

I had previously tried a set of LED's on my DD... while they were bright at the housing itself... not so good down the road. That was a few years ago though...

Curious also if they have a Bi-LED version. I ended up putting Bi-Xenons in my Explorer and haven't had any issues yet (knockonwood) but I like the fact the LED's will run cooler.

Thanks for input.

Just had my first night drive with these LED's installed. Really great upgrade and much, much brighter than stock, also not blue. Maybe just a hint of blue, but I color correct stuff for a living and most wouldn't notice it.

For $100 this is by far the biggest bang for the buck upgrade I've done to any car.

Thanks Mike!!

 

Definitely!

 

Does the kit include complete set for both sides or you need to buy 2 different kits? The 355 headlights require 2 bulbs on each side 1 low beam and 1 high beam.

 

They do sell a kit for the high beams as well though, right? I'd want to do both if I did it...

 

Can someone chime in and let us know as to the high beam kit model , I would want to upgrade both low and high.

 

I tired LEDs in my truck and they gave more light up close down the road was not as bright.

 

Once you drive with XENON HID Headlamps you won't go back to anything less....way much better than Halogen and LED.
FYI, the LED's do an absolute poor job at dispersing the light on road...at-least the ones currently available...forget the laser led used on the Audi R18 race car at Le Mans not unless you know the head of Audi Racing

IMO 8000K is the perfect choice...I personally do not like the 6000K

Thats what I am running now. works great

I would use carbon arc but hard to keep cool LOL

 

On the topic of HIDs, has anyone purchased from this site before?

5000k HID Kit - Factory White HID Headlight Conversion | HIDeXtra

My buddy just installed HIDs in his NSX and i did a side by side comparison to the LEDs from OPT7 and looking at the headlight bulb, the OPT7 is brigher, however, the HID's light beam was significantly stronger than our LEDs.

I'm considering trying a set of HIDs just to compare. Curious if anyone else has a brand/model they liked?

 

I bought a set of Bi-Xenons from this site Car Xenon Hid Conversion Light Kits Xenon Head Lights Made In Germany

Running them on my Explorer. 6000k series. Both high and low beam in one light. Happy with them and they also carry a lifetime warranty.

 

I have 55 watt HID conversions in my track car. They really are too bright for everyday use because they're bound to be torturous for oncoming drivers. The light output is phenomenal though. They take so long to come to brightness that the high beams are pretty useless. I don't consider them to be an option in the Ferrari, although the light they produce would be great to have when driving the back roads.

 

Thanks OP.

Tagging for future reference.

 

Just replaced my head lights with LED as recommended on this thread. They look great and I hope they will last as long as my old halogens (19 years). I also bought a pair of H1 LED but they did not fit the housing of the fog lights, did anyone here replace the fog lights with LED's? A recommendation will be appreciated.
