LED bulb in projector housing?

[Hawaiian4runner]

Yea it is real bright..very clean looking

That's what my question was ...if the appropriate size LED would fit in the 2014 housing ...

Probably a bad idea. The projectors are designed for halogens. That being said, some have had pretty good results with HIDs in those projectors. Want to try a pair of VLEDs 2000 lumen H11 LEDs? I have a pair I'm returning.

And by the way, you got sarcastic answers cause you fired the first shot. You wait an hour and twenty mins. Then throw out insults.

And finally, you seem to have no concern or clue about beam patterns or cutoff. The "look" is for ricers...

Im not talking a cheap shit look..yes I agree with that purple HID garbage "ricer" look is not what Im looking for

I have a 2014 SRT Cherokee...the HID/LED are awesome on her...Im looking for a nice look like that not blind everyone on my civic look

Why would you assume I have no clue or concern on beam pattern or cutoff??

Again this is why I was interested in a Quality LED bulb vs. a ricer HID kit.

You say it would be a bad idea because they are designed for halogen...BUT all the housings that these LIFETIME LEDs are going into are designed for halogen bulbs...AMI right?

If you want good quality HID these would be the one to look at in my opinion.

Your prob Right ...That's prob the best bet for the 14 housing

 

[Hawaiian4runner]

Cause you never asked about beam pattern or cutoff. All you said is I like the look. I really don't know how they will work in a halogen projector. Give it a try.

Yeah I might get the 5000k pure white.

I know led headlights have gotten a lot of bad rep here. It's somewhat new to the market, but many newer higher end cars are now coming from the factory with them. The cars that come stock with them look great from what I've seen. I think the aftermarket led's are a little behind on quality, but its just a matter of time before they catch up. I'm not sure if anyone on this forum has tried the brand your referring to, but if your willing to spend the money and time, I'm sure others will appreciate the results.

Dear OP,
Please do not put HID bulbs into a housing not designed for HID bulbs.

Sincerely,
Every driver on the road around you

Have you tried the search method posted up in the STICKIES? Hint: Use "LED headlight".

Further, head on over here for expert knowledge. All will be revealed.

Pitbull11 (I don't know why I can't get the image of that rapper "rapping" with all those beatches in tiny bikinis around him): Not going to bash you, but if you read in other forums, you will find that LEDs are "directional", meaning they emit light at certain angles (not all of them), whereas HIDs and Halogen bulbs do not. Their light is emitted pretty much 360 degrees. Light is emitted "everywhere". If you put LEDs in a projector NOT DESIGNED to take this into consideration, your beam pattern will suck (compared to HIDs/Halogen).

As you can see, most of us go for function over form. If "form" is your thing, knock yourself out.

Damm this forum really gets on people for asking questions I see....and for a some grammer mistakes really?..wow

Well that does make sense ...and no I would like a professional look and function for sure.

I like what "Speedy" posted actually.

Looks like a quality HID bulb and ballast.

OLD SCHOOL? How old are you? I listened (when I was young) to RUN DMC, NWA, Digital Underground, LL Cool J................ early 90s rap. I don't listen to rap anymore.

When you are nearly 40, have a kid, rap doesn't resonate with you anymore. The beatches, well, let's just say the "radar is always on" :naughty:

Anyway, yeah, LEDs suck. For now anyway. Pitbull11: Do it right, get a retrofit HID kit. Expensive, but you will get massive lighting benefits and it will look stock.

WIN.
