So [MENTION=679070]AUXITO.COM[/MENTION] reached out to me to test and review a product for them in exchange for an honest review. They did provide me the product, but no additional payment so I have no incentive not to be honest.

Site: AUXITO Automotive Lighting | Yours Ahead of the Ultimate Choice
Exact part: 9005 LED Bulb 100W 20000LM Per Set Brightest 6000K Cool White — AUXITO

The product I am reviewing for them are the 9005 Q16 series LED bulbs to replace my oem high beams. I already have Xenondepot HID's in the low beams but did not get around to changing my high beam bulbs yet since I do not use them all that often.

First off I will say they were very nice, helpful and responsive to all questions, and I would not hesitate to buy from them.


The packaging is very nice and it comes with instructions as well as cloth gloves to keep your hand oils off the bulbs. I found them very helpful to not scratch up your hands as well as for protecting the bulb.

They are plug and play so install takes about 10 min. Fitment is spot on. It is an OEM sug feeling fit with no extra play.

I disabled my high beam DRL's via the pin bending mod so I cannot speak to their functionality as DRL's.

i attached pictures below and would put them into the thread itself but do not want to double post.

I will list descriptions for each attached picture accordingly for comparison and review:

pic1: Very nice packaging and product as well as gloves and instructions.
pic2: a close up comparison to see the color, brightness and refraction differences between auxito(driver) and OEM(Pass) about 3 ft from garage door.
pic3: xenondepot HID lows only, about 10 ft from garage door
pic4: HID's along with High beams(auxito driver, oem pass)
pic5: dark road with only xenondepot HID low beams on
pic6: low beams with high beams(auxito driver, oem pass)
pic7: HID low beams only against a dark hillside
pic8: hid lows and high beams against same hillside(auxito driver, oem pass)

Overall I would say the product comes at a reasonable price compared to the competitors like morimoto, and out of the box the quality seems good. I cannot speak for long term reliability since they are brand new, but so far they look to be high quality and I am please with the product. I like how compact these bulbs are and that they have small fans built right into them, making install a breeze with no additional wires hanging.

I will say that these being their brightest bulb series, they are definitely brighter than oem, but I would not get anything less. Anything of a lower series might not be a significant upgrade especially since the temperature color is cooler then oem.

How are these for oncoming traffic, anybody flash their brights at you yet?

I only did the high beams, which I hardly use. But even when I do I turn them off if there are any other oncoming headlights in sight, so for me its a non issue. high beams on with oncoming traffic is not acceptable at any time. I drive 20 miles of dark unlighted road to get to work every morning and it is highly irritating when some people don't bother to turn off their high beams at all.
 
Did you have to use a decoder to stop the 9005 bulbs from flashing?

I disabled the DRL's long ago as I dont like them by bending the pin in the relay so it can never connect.

If you referring to actual high beam functionality, in my limited testing there is no type of canbus issue or flickering at all.

Light output is definitely brighter than OEM, but the cooler color may make it worse in certain conditions.
 
You can see in one of your output shots how the OEM halogen bulb actually has a better beam pattern. LED bulbs dont belong in halogen reflector housings they will never be better. End of story.

Understood, but I hardly use them anyway so its not too big a deal. If i need that much light I just use the S8 in the grill.
