They also offer a more comprehensive range of colors than LEDs. These lights are more expensive than LED headlights but can last up to 3 times longer. HID lights are also an excellent option for those who want their headlights brighter. They can also be shaped to produce a more focused beam. In addition, they can be purchased as an upgrade from your auto dealer or as a conversion kit. They also use less energy than halogen bulbs. They are 30% brighter than halogen lights and can last up to 45,000 hours. LED lights are a good choice if you want your car’s headlights brighter than the halogen bulbs that come with your vehicle. They can also offer a range of colors and are relatively inexpensive. They use a unique process to produce light and are commonly used in fog lights and other accessories.įurthermore, they work by running negative electrons against holes in a semiconductor to create light. No errors, no hassle, and no regrets.LED lights are a popular upgrade for drivers that want to improve their visibility while driving at night. If you want to keep the price and hassle down, just try some good halogen bulbs. I'm satisfied with high quality LED's in the wife's Pacifica with factory halogen projectors, but tossed the HID conversion in my A6 that also had halogen projectors. Factory projectors are better at accepting an aftermarket HID or LED bulb, but vary wildly in the result, regardless of what you spend on your HID setup or LED bulbs. Reflectors in general, just don't work well with HID or LED bulb swaps (Think, the asshat in that rice rocket with a cheap 100W HID kit, blinding everyone in front of him). The E55 had HID's in what looks like the same reflector housing as the E320 and E430, except it's not. Even reflector assemblies that offered a HID version don't respond that well. In general, unless you're willing to spend big dollars on a true retrofit that uses some type of OEM assembly, HID and/or LED conversions are a terrible idea, especially for a reflector housing. I think there are housing replacement type upgrades that give you that function. HIDs is less, LEDs are bright and annoying and have a tendency to glare (they are made up of several LEDs). There are a couple post on the theory here, but don't recall the details off hand. The initial leveling motor and shutter process takes another second or two. The OEM arc stabilizes within a second or two (quality bulb). I know a lot of questions but trying to consolidate all my questions in order to make an informed decision. My interest is a better and safer night driving experience while not blinding on coming traffic and getting flashed, esthetics are of not much concern. Anyone have experience with this kit? 2011-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee | HYLUX Low Beam HID Kit Is it true that you loose the use of DRL with both HID and LED? Between HID and LED, which is less obnoxious to oncoming traffic, yet provide the benefits of better night driving? Can current technology HID and LED H11 bulbs be mounted in a projector housing (I read they are not designed to do so but its done all the time, I understand no longer DOT compliant) Do HID lights still take time to warm up and turn on? How long are we talking on average? Putting aside the short life of an upgraded halogen, do they in fact throw light further and a bit whiter? Here are a few question maybe experts or folks with first hand experience can help with I used many threads, some older, and the following links to get a basic understanding Both HID and LED, require a CANBUS harness to prevent errors and flickering (seems included with most kits) Both HID and LED, not designed for projector housings High performance halogen don't last long and still yellow HID are obnoxiously bright (maybe LED too?) My understanding of some basic cons are (correct me if I'm wrong on any) After reading thru many threads I understand there are basically three options upgrade to HID, LED or high performance halogen. I have a 2020 GC WK2 with standard halogen low beams.
