Good bright headlight to replace the stock headlight?

[Lin Dan]

Many drivers are installing LEDs especially with higher wattage (above 35w) and lumens (around 13,000+) and at 6,000 K. These are really bright, bluish white lights. The price ranges are from 4,500 to 6,000 pesos for some Chinese brands and for some branded ones, definitely pricier.

The downside is longevity. Most of my friends who tried LEDs do not really suggest to join the LED bandwagon since they experienced some product failure in less than 6 months. Mostly on the active ones or the ones with built in fans.

Good morning sirs! Has anybody tried the philipps H4 led bulbs on their vehicles?
Saw then on display sa blade. . One set has braided heatsink for around 5k++ while the other has fans ata for heat management, selling for approx 9k++.
Any inputs/feedbacks you may have sa philippine setting. Thanks

Both are fanless. Ultinon essential for the ribbon/braided type heatsink

Based on what I've read pangit fan dahil pag nasira mag overheat na ang Mapundi bulb

Ohhhh. . . Great. .. so heatsink lang talaga yun nasanlikod nun tig 9k ++

Promising ata kasi because of the brandname and the impression that more testing has come into the product and there's a hood(?) To prevent glare pag lowbeams


All the reviews that i've read came from other countries. . . Quite confident that it has way better visibility during fair weather driving. . . But nobody mentioned about visibility in the rain.
. And looking for more reliable inputs about highbeam throw.

Anybody?

Anong brand ng LED headlight ang ginagamit ng modern cars ngayon? The OEM ones? Lalo na sa mga meron haha. I'm curious ganda ng cutoff. Ultinon ba? Thanks in advance

Maganda ang cut off since it is tailor fit for the headlight design. Not just a direct replacement.

Planning to replace the stock halogen headlights to either osram nb or philips xv. Any recommended shops that sells and installs them as well? Naniniguro lang baka kasi may masira ako. Haha.

Anyone using keon sondra for their car's headlight? I heard it is really bright at night when you use it.

Keon Sondra uses Cree XHP chips. They are bright indeed but because of the way they're designed, they produce glare to oncoming traffic when used for lowbeams. The design of Cree chips is that they are places in a square-pattern with a silicone magnifying bubble on top of the chips which is used to focus the light of the chips on a single point on top of the bubble. This doesn't mimic the way a halogen filament lights up and thus will spread the light very differently.

Philips Ultinon LEDs, which I use by the way, are brighter than stock but a bit less bright than Cree LEDs, but are not glaring to oncoming traffic and have better light spread on the road. Think of it as having a halogen installed, only brighter and whiter. This is because Philips LEDs have their chips mimic how the halogen bulb's filament is placed inside the headlight.

I use one on my front headlights’ low beam projector and multi reflector high beam.

It does not produce that much glare compared to the one’s installed on multi reflector headlight.

The cut off is similar to my oem halogens but emits better illumination

Mali ba kami ng bili? Yung headlight kasi ang papalitan at hindi yung fog. May issue na pag ito ginamit sa headlight? Pareho naman h11 yung headlight at fog light.

if yun ang stock size bro it shouldnt matter

Is it safe then to conclude that none of the LED bulbs sold in the market today guarantee a no glare intensity for the H4 halogen plug and play replacements?

i think so.
the fault, i believe, is in how the current led bulb is designed, compared to how the filament bulb is constructed.
if the headlight reflector is not changed as the bulb is changed from filament to led, the resulting increased glare won't be tamed. something to do with the location of the filaments versus the diodes.
google for explanation, po. google explains it better than i do.
for parking lights, signal lights, rear lights, and dome lights, there is no problem (except for the electronics part (heh heh).

light from an H4 emanate from very short strings of tungsten. it's easy to emulate this with LEDs. instead of a string of wolfram just have a string of LEDs, specifically very small dome-LESS LEDs i.e. point-sources of light strung together to emulate the filament in a bulb.

what you don't want are the large LEDs coz they don't behave like point sources

got a set of these cheap Nighteye/Novsight H4 in the jimny which has very simple round reflectors. very good cutoff and brighter than the stock halogens.

does your statement mean that you can recommend Novsight which offers brighter than stock illumination that does not blind approaching drivers?
