Bro-good for you to realize that [and hopefully, you got rid of your LED headlight - high beam].

Maraming kapwa natin motorista (including iyong mga naka-motor) - walang pakialam kahit na silaw ang kasalubong nila....

Sarap tuloy hagisan ng tubig at timba kapag nakasalubong mo ang mga iyan....

Higher wattage will draw more current, more current require bigger wires in terms of diameter

Fail to do so could melt the insulation of your stock wire for that light you just replaced with higher wattage

The ensuing event is the unthinkable a full blown conflagration because your wires will be exposed and touch each other and short the circuit

Next thing you will need is a fire extinguisher

Like HID, aftermarket replacement LED bulbs installed in optics designed for halogen is a bad idea.

Agree bro.

Mabuti na lang "used to have LED bulb" si bro.baker...

Sa mga nagbabalak dito ng straight conversion sa LED headlights (at pati ang mga naka-motorsiklo),- huwag na ninyong gawin.

Nakakasira lang kayo ng gabi, sa totoo lang...

Agreed. Naka LED din jimny ko before. Maliwanag nga. But sometimes i get flashed also. Now, back to halogen na. Nagkabit nalang ako ng wiring kit and Osram Nightbreaker Laser. Brighter than stock na

At that price, it's almost in the territory of a quality projector+HID retrofit. And at least currently, it seems to be only available in 6200K only.

There are alternatives to Philips Ultinon LED now with lower price. They use genuine Philips ZES LED chips.

Asked about these from a local online seller and all they can offer is 1 month warranty for it. For something that costs 4-5k a pair and a claimed lifespan of >30,000 hours, they don't seem to put much faith in the product.
