    Hi mga sir, planning sana ako magconvert from HID to LED low beam. 2013 Civic po and nakaretrofit yung projector ko for HID. May questions lang po ako.

    1. Mas maganda po ba ang LED over HID in terms of light output? Nagresearch po kasi ako, sabi ng iba mas maganda ang LED, pero yung iba sabi is mas malayo ang abot ng ilaw ng HID.

    2. Kung papalitan ko ng LED yung low beam ko, plug and play na ba yun? Since nakaretrofit naman for HID yung projector ko. Or makakablind pa rin ng incoming cars? Need pa ba ulit imodify ang projector?

    3. Gusto ko po kasi yung kulay ng LED, ano yung closest color temp ng HID sa LED?

    Thanks!

    1. For me HID is still king when it comes to output. What you see on advertisements of LED bulbs are mostly exaggerated. There are good LED bulbs out there, but they come with a price.

    2. Only one way to find out if its P&P. Try it. Or go to a shop then let them try. Since you already have HID projectors, i think it would be a match for most LED bulbs out there and it wont produce glare.

    3. As LED bulbs are not like HID that have specific ratings in Kelvin, its difficult to say. Maybe the shops can shed more “light” into your concern.

    Ang tinitingnan ko na seller for the led is ledlightsph. I think you can find him on facebook. So far, with what is posted, ok naman ung output sa mga naka-projector retrofit na and ung mga naka oem projectors.

    Planning to change sana ung oem hid ko into led for more output. Minsan nahihinaan ako or its too yellow for me.

    For the HB4 (foglamps) of our Innova, yes bro. I already replaced ours with LED.

    I guess it is the same for the other variants,- just pick it properly.

    But, I am not pushing it.... Just got them replaced with Philips Xtreme Vision halogen bulbs, H4 for the Innova and H7 for the GS.
