not from experience but there was a seller a few weeks back in facebook 4x4 groups. when asked to post a picture of the light beam at night side by side with a picture of oem headlight bulbs it was definitely brighter BUT THERE WAS ALMOST NO CUT OFF. meaning masisilaw ang kasalubong mo since diffused ang light. the 2 pictures were supposed to be from the same vehicle using the same headlights housings, pinalit lang ang bulb. in the 1st picture where the oem bulb was used the light cutoff was good, with only waist high objects illuminated. in the second picture using the led bulb the cutoff was almost non-existent, with objects above roof level illuminated. note low beam lang ito hindi high beam.

if i remember right the led bulbs were 25 watts cree hi-lo bulbs. parang wala yata bumili kasi most of the members are responsible guys naman who are not willing to blind other motorists with their head lights.

I've tried a projector type LED headlight. It is directly retrofitted to fit in a Halogen bulb opening (Headlight). Advantages: 1. Less needed power, 17 watts only compared to a 55 watt halogen bulb, 2. Doesn't emit too much heat, in fact its very minimal to none, 3. Brighter, more whiter that halogen bulb, 4. Di sya gaanong nakakasilaw sa kasalubong kasi projector type. Disadvantages: 1. Lower range (Pag malayo, di na ganun kaliwanag as compared with Halogen. Pero pag malapitan, say low beam, mas maliwanag naman sya), 2. Costly, 800 per piece, 3. Di sya ganun kaliwanag pag basa ang kalsada, lalo na pag asphalt. Overall, satisfied naman ako since mostly city driving lang naman. Pero if going out of town, mas gusto and mas kampante ako dun sa Halogen.

boss pa pm naman san mo pinagawa at nasa magkano kung ipapaprojector... thanks in advance ^___^

type ko rin kasi LED dahil pag mag fflash ako sa umaga (pag need talaga) bright talaga sya agad unlike sa HID ko ngayon na may loading time pa...

Our 2nd-gen Outlander has stock LED tail lights. One of the diodes died and Mitsubishi can't replace it but rather we have to change the entire tail light assembly instead.
