Who has or is using LED headlights ?

[Rado]

Oh no a LED light question :O
Many question have been asked but I am looking to see how the LED lights worked for you !
Brand you used ?
did they hold up ?
How is light pattern on you brand lights ?
Any issues ?
Was it worth it ?

Thanks

Morimoto XB Hybrid LED, P/N LF704
Holding up great!
Light pattern is crisp, clear and well defined.
No issues at all.
Well worth the money as LED beats out Halogen every time.

Our customers have provided very good feedback on the options from Morimoto and also Alpharex. We offer them and other brands. Message me if you would like a quote on anything or more info

Are you wanting feedback on bulbs or housings?

Fahren (amazon) LED bulbs. Been 3 years now and still good to go.

Super sharp cut off line on these and the OEM projector housings.

PS: I did install the deep back covers to offer more room in housing to allow increased air circulation.

Maybe include what you paid as well.

No doubt worth it for me.
The exact Novsight bulb I got is no longer available.
Great upgrade at roughly $35 total.

GREAT idea on the deeper dust covers !
You have a link on them ?
I will see if I can find them online Thanks

These are the ones I used for my projector headlights. (they were like $25 when I bought them, but it is what it is)

I know, I know, it's Amazon. But I did buy them like 3 years ago.

I 3d printed a set I was going to use and added a hole for the grommet for the low beam hid. But, could be printed with/without the hole. I can even 3d print the gasket for them.

I have farens in projectors in low beams on my 2024 1500 classic.

Any issues ?

Using LED bulbs in halogen reflector housings produce a lot of excess light scatter that effects oncoming traffic. No amount of adjustment can correct for this.
If you want to run LEDs, use them in the just the high beams or spend the money on housings designed for LED.

My setup works so great it needed insurance,(coils) against minor changes in aim due to the weak springs.The 60s are the low 40s high and I showed my old bulb Nov.11 21 and didn’t need the old ones so far.The vettes needed ovens and a professional to install the leds.

Factory LEDs...............

I don't have experience with the quad headlights but the projector factory lights do well with led bulbs on the low beams. I'm assuming you're not talking about the projectors? My lows I switched over to LEDs have a nice crisp cut off I was able to adjust to factory angles.



I suggest those that do switch the low beams over and drive through ice and sleet to keep the high beams as halogen. The halogens I have used to defrost the front of the housing. Getting build up is bad and the LEDs aren't hot enough to melt it. At least not the ones I have.

From one of my winter trips through Colorado. Halogen high beams saved me at night from the ice build up on the headlights.

2024 1500 with Headlight Revolution SV.4’s is what I was originally using. For some strange reason the passenger side bulb started being weird.

The bulb would flicker, or illuminate at approximately 1/3rd of the power output. So, changed the bulb. Worked at first, then repeated the symptoms. Put original bulb back in, and replaced the ballast. Same thing.

Removed swapped driver and passenger sides; driver side did not work on passenger side, but passenger side worked on driver side. Weird…

Contacted Headlight Revolution and they suggested a PWM installed between vehicle harness and their kit. No bueno!!!

So, decided to put these bulbs in my fog light location. Been there since 2024 working excellent. None of that weird stuff to date.

Ended up putting Sylvania LED’s in the headlight locations when I did the fogs… they’ve been working.

After some reading figured it may have something to do with the manufacturer’s monitoring the draw from the headlights through the BCM now to prevent us from putting brighter bulbs in. IDK

Anyway… they’ve HR bulbs are awesome. Also, when they did work (that’s the part that baffles me) in the headlight position for approximately 4mos. The Sylvania’s are just as good as the HR’s stuff for a fraction of the cost in my opinion. And they just plug in… no ballast to mess around with.

Got the Fahrenheit 9500s about a year ago. I also have the factory projector housing on a 2021 Warlock. Paid about $72 for the pair. Huge improvement over halogen. Was looking at Morimotos but just couldn’t justify the price.

That is the info I was looking for ! Thanks
I wonder if aftermarket LED housing will work in a halogen set
