Besides the issues of incompatibility with the electronics of your car (easily fixed using relays) there are a couple of things you need to check before contemplating replacing your oem halogen bulbs with led bulbs.

1. Mounting. Does the oem halogen plug into a holder that has a proprietary fitting to the headlight housing? Example is the new hyundais. The bulbs are no longer held in place by a spring/latch arrangement. There is now a bulb holder that locks into the headlight housing. Since most (almost all, in fact) led bulbs have an extension cable then this holder can no longer be used and mounting the led bulb to the headlight housing will need modifications (if not impossible).

2. Is there enough space between the bulb and dust cover? Most led bulbs have a heat sink or fan that extends far behind the rear of the bulb. If you can no longer install back the dust cover you might end up with a dirty headlight and water inside the headlight housing.

3. Cut off. Cheap leds do not have compact light sources, resulting to highly unfocused beams that present much glare to oncoming motorists. Also, since the light is not properly focused then it also becomes useless to you. Malakas nga yung ilaw pera sabog naman ang buga, e di malapit din lang ang makikita mo.

Reposting my foglight upgrade from cheap generic LEDs to Philips Ultinon Essential:





The generic LEDs had weaker intensity and a dispersed beam pattern, while the Ultinon has a much clearer cutoff and stronger output.

Note though that while the Ultinon Essential is leagues better than generic LEDs, it's still weaker than the stock LED headlamps that came with the car:

Hey boss! I just ordered a pair of the ultinon essential H11 foglight set for my fortuner to replace the halogen foglights. How is the throw? Stronger and more defined than stock halogen? How about compared to stock oem led?

Stronger throw than stock halogen yes, cutoff is less defined though - little bit of upward throw but since it's a relatively weak fog lamp, not glaring to oncoming motorists.

Would still reco OEM LEDs if possible. When my ultinons give up will look for a used pair of OEM LED fogs for the Civic.

Ok thats good to hear that its at least stronger than stock halogens. I was thinking of going keon sondra for my fogs since im using those for my projector headlights but spending Php 7.5k for foglight bulbs is absurd already [emoji23] ok na ako sa 2.8k petot ng philips hehe basta long lasting.

I had a friend that got those dual color led fogs pundido na after 7 months. More expensive pa ata sa philips yan

Ah I compared my Ultinon fogs with KS LEDs - the KS is stronger but also with more glare. Not worth 3x the price definitely.

Yeah you dont want the glare in the fogs, since it doesnt have a proper cutoff unlike headlights.

And whats the diff sa ultinon essential and ultinon lang? Kita ko kasi meron din naklagay ultinon tapos mukang fan type ata

repost from the other thread:

sharing the Novsight LEDs which just arrived earlier and I just installed tonight. plug-and-play!

no lights:


stock halogens:


LEDs:


you gotta admit, it makes a car look that much cooler:





i got them from here if any one is interested: Novsight N26 912 Car LED Headlight Kit 12LM 9W 65K High Brightness | Online Shopping Lazada

i think it keeps the stock light form(?) very well. hopefully no one will hi-beam me from too much glare from these.

looking forward to more brighter night driving with these!

Active cooling yung Ultinon (fan) while passive cooling yung Essential. Ultinon is also stronger, but of course costs more (2x).

Anong type of bulb? H4? Di ba yung 2014 fort naka projector low and reflector hi?

[Dr.Kamiya]

+1. If separate yung low and high beams talagang naka ilaw pareho when you flash/switch to high beams. Baka hindi lang napapansin dati kasi same color yung low and high, but since you changed the low beams to LED naging noticeable sya.

Before nung halogen (all stock) pag nag flash ako Hi lang umiilaw.

I have 3 rides with separate bulbs for low and high beams. The others have integrated H4 bulbs.

Everytime I flash their headlights,- both the low and high beams light up....

Baka hindi mo lang napapansin bro(?)...

That's correct ang nag flash lang naman eh yun bright eh yun low beam naka on lang talaga
