2nd gen headlight upgrade in 2024

I wouldn’t mind a halogen bulb still, but more whiter than the older yellower lights.

 

Then you can buy the osrsm Sylvania bright whites . But their longevity is definitely extremely short and they're like $39 a pair so for the same $39 a pair or less you can put in cob LEDs similar or better brightness whatever but you need to reaim your halogen housings it'll be about 7 to 8 turns or so downward I think you're screwing in then you'll see the cutoff appear on your wall then you set that to where it needs to be I think this is the step that most people miss when they apply LEDs and then they complain about their lighting up everything but what they're looking at.

 

Yeah everything can be illegal everywhere so follow your state guidelines or whatever you think you have to do All the kids that are shining their lights in your face when you're driving home at night yeah they're all illegal too We don't do anything about that in the USA pretty much that stuff's allowed to fly look at all the nonsense all the kids have on all their trucks and vehicles you see it everyday but be that as it may that's right or is wrong whatever you choose. We don't have TUV police like they do in Europe where they'll take your car off the road for the wrong headlight bulb think I'm kidding okay. So I've also posted the link a bunch of times to the D4S to LED for the HIDs from the factory I have them on a JBL 6 disc changer kind of a tourer model but I don't have the extended spoiler or the 16-in wheels oh well. But I do have the HID lights and their shutters work very well and everything is good with them so I put in the D4S to LED bulbs right in the factory sockets back in the factory holes and did not bypass the ballast I have that option but generally it's never needed. So I didn't do it so you have both bulbs to run with If you have halogens beam tech also makes the s1 series type of bulb it looks like a palm nailer and on the end of the palm nailer is a fat nail with two cob LEDs on it boom that goes right in your halogen housing crank them down about eight and a half turns those are half turns of the adjustment screw and see the cut out appear on your wall put that where you're supposed to and drive on.

 

I'll try to dig up the pictures I don't know if they'll post here or not maybe they will now but it's not really much to see they look like the picture of the bulbs that you were able to look up online the D4S to LED conversions All that is is a bulb that looks like the bulb that you bought if you ever bought them The regular bulb D4S that you can get at AutoZone that fit in our cars It looks like that except instead of ballast exciting gas to light and there isn't any there's just cob elements that fire

 

There are tons of videos on YouTube including a little short woman that will change them out with a small hands without moving the lamp assembly It's all over the internet she is putting back regular D4S meeting the ballast to fire bulbs. But if I handed her the D4S to LEDs she could fit those in as everything is the same it fits just like the D4S real bulb The LED just plugs and fits in the holder end of discussion there are millions of videos online of this You have HID if you generally have fog lights 16-in wheels and extended spoilers and six disc changers That's like a tourer. And then there are variations on the theme without the spoiler and out the wheels but with the fog lights HIDs in the 6 disc changer That's real common in the US market I have two of them Good luck on your lamp search sorry it's turning into such a horrid affair I just ordered another set of bulbs today for another customer's car.

 

Okay quick way look at the passenger side headlight right now if you're near the car and do you have a rubber cover on the back of the bulb assembly of the big hole You can't miss this you take a picture I can point it to you It's a big old hole in the back of the headlight it should have a piece of rubber in it or else it has a plug exposed that has three wires going to it or it is completely covered with a solid disc that looks like a frisbee and you can't see anything but a pretty black finish If you have the can't see anything but the pretty black finish hard plastic cover that's HID simple as nothing else to worry If you have a rubber or nothing and a three-prong plug on the bulb that's halogen

 

You have halogen lights no worries you can easily change those without doing anything You pull that rubber cap off you pull that plug off with the three wires see the one with the blue wire that's a three-wire H4 plug That's what that plug is You're going to pull that plug off pull the rubber boot off withdraw that mess and set it away and then you'll see the clips you squeeze together to pull open to pull the bulb out but you'll be an H4 I don't know when 9003 whatever and you're going to have beam tech s1 H4/9003 at the ready to put in that hole hopefully.

 

I hope we can figure this out today... I got a lady texting me right now that is ready to buy whichever LED H4 9003 is the absolute brightest... Perhaps we could find a couple different options and you could try one option and I could try the other option for her?

 

The beamtech S1 . H4 for halogen

 

Prius camper the link is in your messages and it looks like it works

 

Thanks, but those are fog lights / yellow.

 

Holy Christ they make the same bulb in any color you want Do you need the exact link for what 6, 000 k 8 000 where we looking to be on the color spectrum? That company with that link that I gave to you and your thing because it won't post here they should have all five different colors whatever suits your fancy somewhere around $2,600 all the way up to 8000 Kelvin that's from bonfire yellow all the way to ice blue.

 

Their H4 bulbs If you have fog lights that take H4 lamps you've got something going on some old Cibe or hella of many years ago. So there's always that most fog lights don't take anything near an H4 they don't have high beams generally fog lights etc so I think just the wording is wrong in the ad which I could care less about these are H4 bulbs they call them fog lights I don't care if they called them poop lights makes no difference that's the Chinese for you that's how they do things they're not fog lights there H4 bezel lamps made to go in H4 housings which generally aren't fog lights but okay this is what I have in three of my generation twos the other one is HID with the D4S to LED conversions plugged in with nothing else done oh well I don't know what to tell you those are quite bright and if you crank your adjusters down and get your cut off on the wall set right You should be in good shape if your lenses aren't completely fogged they work very well I'm quite happy without having to oven bake everything apart install merimoto mini projectors and all that nonsense but hey.
