XenonDepot HID vs LED, initial photo. (Pics reposted)

[guitarsail]

The HID upgrade kits would still be brighter than our Xtreme LED Pro kit in any color temperature. Because of this, you will get more light on the road and down the road vs the LED.

LED is about 30-50% brighter vs halogen (Depending on which ones) while HID is about 2-3x brighter than halogen.

I want to do it...i really do. I'm still concerned about dropping in HID or LED bulbs into most certainly isnt a HID or LED specific projector.

You make a good point. LED's in the headlight housings are a waste of money anyway if you're looking for more light. You can put 2100 Lumen H9 bulbs in your low beam projectors and 2300 Lumen 9011 Bulbs in your high beam housings, and have 20-30% more light than LED at a much lower cost.

LED's might make sense in the foglight housings which are heat sensitive and come with a weak H16 bulb stock. That being said, there are studies that say more foreground lighting from fogs actually hurts your distance vision at night so it may not be better.

In the end, if you're dead set on some sort of improved lighting in your low beam that doesn't involve Halogen or a full blown HID retrofit, Xenon Depot's Philips HID kit would probably be your best option (just make sure to aim them correctly).

Is there a strait swap between H11 (stock) and H9? Never mind did the googling. Off to find proper H9's, looks like the only ones on Xenon Depot are Nokya....not happening haha.

Is the light actually flickering, or are you just seeing the cutoff line bounce from the bump?

Pretty sure it’s just the cut off line jump , we have crap roads where I live so it happens a lot and really bugs me , thinking about swapping them out for xd low beams .

I guess changing them to led will solve the problem!

No, it would not solve the issue completely. It may be less noticeable since the LED lights are not as bright.

Did I order incorrect?

I am installing these into my low beams. And I order with the CANbus. Was that incorrect? I order the HID Extreme 5000K? Yes I am a newbie here and from what I am reading that is for the LEDs...Why was it even an options for the HIDs?
