Real Hi/Lo Beam LED bulb! AWESOME!

Awhile back, I bought some 9003/H4 LED bulbs from Ebay. They were cheap and bright but no difference between hi beam and low beam. Used these in factory headlight assemblies and was somewhat happy until they failed. The Ebay seller never responded to the “5 year warranty” claim. (yes, I should have known better….)

I fell in love with the brighter light of the LED bulbs and bought these on Amazon. (Amazon, unlike Ebay – backs up any warranty claim directly – not the seller)

They cost $33.99 with a two-year warranty. I put them in and WOW! They behave like a halogen bulb with a REAL high beam and lo beam. They also have a controller/transistor in each unit.

They are unusual as they have a small, thin extension containing the LED modules. They fit perfect but a little difficult to put the dust cover on them. I have to say, I am really, really impressed with these. The light is bright, evenly patterned and the high beam is almost like a projector headlight. (Comparing to a friend's BMW with projector headlights) No scattered beam all over the place and this is in the factory housing.

Also, I have not had one single person flash me thinking I had high beams on!

I bought these as I did not want to spend some $60 on high end halogens to have them crap out in 8-12 months. These say they have a 30,000 hour life. If I just get 1/3rd of that life, it is worth every penny!

I periodically check on LED options for us, so thanks. The link you provided shows these at $57, not 34 though.

I had put these on my watch list, wanting to research them for...

I will try and get some pics tonight.

If you could also take a photo of them lighting up a wall in front of you, it'll help show if they really do have a nice cutoff as claimed in the description.

If I had a dollar for every time I was blinded silly by someone with HID or LED bulbs in a reflector housing, I'd be driving a much nicer car :).

Thanks!

Much nicer car? Show your ride some love Leon... :bigok:

If I had a dollar for every redneck 20ft lifted daddy bought diesel with those blinders in my neck of the woods I would be CEO of Liqui Moly.

I will try and take some shots on a wall and also with them in lo beam mode (from the front view) and high beam (from the front view). I have no interest in promoting these LED's other than they have provided me a level of lighting that (IMO) is exceptional to halogen bulbs. I like the idea of the LONGER LIFE as well. I have contemplated the projector mod but I kinda like the original look of our headlight assemblies AND I am not sure I want throw the cash at the projector mod quite yet....

Yeah, hurry up. We don’t need the song and the dance bud.

Just messing with ya, but seriously take some photos:)

Hehe, I knew I was going to catch flak for that comment :). Funny thing is that I do have a much nicer car to drive, I just find that it spends more of its time in the garage, as I enjoy driving the 4Runner more. Weird but true.
 
Managed to get some photos of the LED bulb pattern tonight. The highway photos are not that great as it is muggy/foggy out but you get the idea…..
