Note: This video is for educational purposes only and may show street-use content with products that may not be DOT compliant for use on public roads. The video is not intended to imply vehicle-specific street legality. LED and HID bulbs are street legal in the USA for fog light use and not in low beam or high beam headlights because they are not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108. When looking for on-road-use headlight upgrades we recommend DOT-compliant headlight housings, not bulb replacements. Certain specialty vehicles strictly limited to off-street use and not having DOT registration or license plates may use these products exclusively off-streets. International street legality varies by country. For detailed clarification on-street use, go to www.headlightrevolution.com/street-usage

We Do Lighting Better Because We

I just added some Nilight 9007 LEDs to my 2005 Grand Caravan with reflector housings. I also did the fog lights as well. It has a great beam pattern and seems to work very well. And no I dont use my fog lights all the time. Only when needed in certain weather conditions. Thanks for your videos! They are very informative and helped me make my decision to upgrade!
-
I thought you cannot change a reflector headlight with LED bulbs.. so you just have to find a similar position fillament/LED on choosing the bulb type/brand/model? but that would be a but cumbersome to find exact same location of the bulbs wont you say?

06 ram. Really deciding on morimoto hid 50 watt 5k for pure white but also want a better beam pattern. I seen videos on reflectors almost tripling the lux numbers. More usable light. What should I do ? Also want a D2S for the retrofit
-
Can you recommend me for 2014 Kia Sorento LX thanks
-
Still waiting for test of the Projector Truck-Lite 7" which replaced the long lived 7" reflector
-
What would you recommend for a 2013 Ford escape. I bought LEDs before and they will not stay on. Thanks in advance
-
Does the Honda civic EX-L 2017 have a projector or reflector housing??
-
I recently purchased a pair of Anzo’s aftermarket headlights,according to their site,they claim that we shouldn’t use anything but halogen bulbs..But I upgraded anyway with LEDs..Can anyone recommend a good bulb for these model lights? Thanks!..joe

Web site Is dead ?😢

I tried replacing my 18 F150 halogen reflectors with a LED projector and found the replacement headlight did not throw light as far down the road as my stock halogens(seem to just dump light right infront of the truck), is this a common thing with all LED projectors or just the brand I tried(lack of light bleed above the cutoff)? Also, will you be testing the moriomoto XB R for the F150?

I'm not sure I agree with this guy. My son has a 2017 Impala with halogen projector headlights and he replaced the bulbs with LED and it doesn't seem very bright. I have a 21 Chevy Silverado with reflector style headlights with halogen bulbs and I put LEDs in mine and they are 10 times brighter and way brighter than his projector style headlights with LEDs

I’m arguably still not an expert! 😂
