Has anyone thought about these ? what do u think?

1800LM a peace. stocks are about 1100lm. they could be a fun alterantive to HIDs. good light and no warm up time.

wow cool I wonder how they do

 

[Henry427]

Ya i was wondering the same? I already have HIDs in the high beams, but now im thinking about the low beams and now looking twards these because i dont like to wait for them to warm up. the last ones on my list are my favorit so far. 40w would be good for low beam.

 

[Chappy227]

Would like to know myself

 

[desertdog]

cool. yeah I with Benzo and curious how they will work.

 

[heavysledz]

silly question....does the LED on these emit the light in the right direction to reflect off of the reflective lens in the headlights???

 

[Henry427]

Yes it works the same way a regular light bulb reflects off the light housing

 

[Benzo]

ok so whos the ginny pig

or we get 10 guys $10 each and one of us trys them ,lol jk

Excellent question heavy. I think this is why aftermarket HIDs are illegal. I've been blinded by drivers putting HIDs in a old car that has reflective lens that were not designed for such light.

These reflect directly to the side but wasn't sure if the stock bulbs do as well or if they are designed to reflect to the side but also off the front of the bulb to the rear......basically just wanted to see if anyone knew if these bulbs will effectively reflect the light in the stock housing....

I personally wouldn't mess with these because the HID kit is 40 bucks versus these at a hundred and five or hundred and $80. The stock lite converted to H IDs are excellent!

 

[heavysledz]

good point unless you are dead set on going with LED

 

[desertdog]

The only advantage for the LEDs is lower watt draw.

 

[heavysledz]

can you match light temps between the LED's and the HID's? Some folks might care if their lights aren't all the same temp......

 

[desertdog]

Don't know but I bet the HID's are much hotter

 

[SwerveOffRoad]

The HID's are way hotter then the LEDs. The 35 watt HIDs use 35 watts to ignite then use a very low amount of power. Not as low as LED but still very low.

6000k color HID is the same or extremely close to LED.

Here is a pic of 6000k HIDs 35w on the low and 55w on the high.

Does anyone know of a OEM automotive manufacturer using Cree led for headlights?

I have never heard of an OEM Cree Headlight but that doesn't mean no one is doing it. What are you trying to do?
