The car I bought from someone had LED's installed in their Xenon projector housing but the LED's had a dual beam separated by 180 degrees. This creates a weird split effect when you look at the projector directly because you have two sources of light coming out of the LED and getting projected. Took me forever to understand why my headlights looked the way they did but this video really helped.
Thank you so much, I have a 2018 CHR and I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for answers for why I only have high beams, turns out that the prev owner put single beam bulbs when the car is supposed to have dual beams.
So some cars will do it if you pull back on the brightening stock and hold it back, rather than pushing it forward. It’ll do dim and high at the same time. Our old Taurus did it. But my crown Vic won’t, unless you pull back to brighten, let it go back to dim, and then pull back again immediately. It only does it about one second though. I imagine it would burn out the bulb twice as quick, but I used to do it all the time, and never had to change it. So I guess it depends on which car you have.
Hi pls tell me one thing, my car is vw polo 2013 Mk5 6r so my headlight has 2 single Feliment fitting, I check but VIN number that I need H7 For Dipped beam & also H7 for high beam. I searched on google it reads That H7 can be only used as Dipped beam not for high beam. What am i gonna do ? Should I go for H7 for both high & low beam ?
This helped so much. I have a dual beam HID ds1 in my Grand Cherokee, is there a led conversion kit I can use that still allows for the low and high operation? Thanks
If you need brighter light you should do a total projector retrofit, or swap out your bulbs to a newer style of HID. Contact us for more details on which method you prefer. sales@headlightrevolution.com
Hi. Thanks for the video. Now , my high beams don't work in my 2012 Chrysler 300C and I was told that the "flap" inside the housing stopped working. Other 300C owners told me I don't have a flap. I have a dual beam bulb. So I am confused. Are dual beam bulbs always on (low and high) and the flap controls which beam to show or do I have low beam on and when I use the high beam it lights up?
Brother if a car has dual beam headlamp which lights both the bulbs at high mode and a car with h4 which lights only high part..then the brightness of h4 setup will be less as compared to dual beam lamp? Am i right or wrong?
In my toyota corolla 1997 (dual filament headlight bulb) , low beam works fine. (one fillamant lights up) but when i turn high beam, both filaments light up,
With the 1997 Corolla I would only be concerned about your high beam function if it causes a problem like an error/warning light on the dash, or some other issues. But if your high beam is as bright as you think it is, having the low beam stay on with high beam is not really a problem - in fact it's a desirable trait that some people force to have happen through custom wiring. If you're really concerned about it I would try some different bulbs. Your car takes an H4 style bulb and should have very simple straight forward wiring, and these generation Toyota cars are known for being extremely simple. The most likely cause of the malfunction is something wrong with that particular headlight bulb. Try a different brand like GTR Lighting or Morimoto because we know those do not have those problems.
@@HeadlightRevolution thank you. After reading your comment, i went and check with the local mechanic. My doubt was right. It was short conducting. The problem was : previous owner had LED lights, but they were cheap quality and also the relay's were bad quality. What we did : we removed all the extra wiring work done by the previous owner and plugged the new Halogen H4 bulbs to the original socket. Now it works fine. Just like how it should be. Thanks to your page
The reason why i removed the LED bulb is , its very hard to see when it rains or foggy, Where i live half of the time its raining, Halogen works just fine for me 😊😊
I have VW Polo 2013 high line 1.2 TDI, and issue is headlight light intensity is less due to this I am facing problem driving in night times. Even after polishing of head lights. Some bady telling to go for 2016 model dual light type, some bady advising to go for projector lamps. Could you suggest for best option with budget?
Hi. I have a 3rd generation honda crv which has a projector lamp for low beam and a normal bulb for high beam. I want to put LED bulbs now. So which ones should I choose?
Excellent explanation. Thank you! I have an odd question though: I have a 2014 Hyundai Accent, which uses a single 9005 bulb (single beam, single filament) on each side, as both low beam and high beam. How does that work? Do they just shine it with more power? Or maybe shape the light output (block the top half for low beam) ? Any input is appreciated. Thanks again.
My question is…if my ram 2500 has oem dual headlight assembly with one reflective space, can I get an aftermarket headlight housing that has 2 reflective housings to run 2 single beam lights??
Great question! Auto-leveling headlights are controlled by a motor on the back of the headlight that moves the reflector. Generally, the headlight is floating on 3 axis, and one of the axis is an arm from the motor. Each axis is a ball joint, which allows the movement.
I recently purchased headlights for my Toyota Tacoma originally my Toyota Tacoma uses H4 low and high beam but the new headlights I bought only use H7 and it’s a Single bulb headlight where is my high beam.
Hello, I would like to ask you a question about the philips UItinon Essential LED 17W h4 lamps. I would like to make a modification so that when I turn on the high beam the low beam also turn on at the same time. Does that have no risk on the lamp itself? knowing that I have a beam with relays that can support up to 100w.
Good video. But my basic question still stands. My vehicle lens utilizes a dual beam bulb. Should the High Beam filament be installed so that its on top of the Low Beam bulb within the lens housing or on the bottom of the lens housing (Low Beam on top/High Beam on bottom....) Thx!
@@HeadlightRevolution Ok! That's the way I have it. Low Beams seem solid. Not as impressed with the distance on my High Beams. Nothing near my wife's factory installed Xenon's on her 2008. But still a significant improvement/upgrade to my 2002. Now to learn more about projector lens vs reflective. I'm sure they're likely not applicable to my older vehicle or I would've stumbled across them.... Appreciate the tutorial content and prompt replies.
Anytime man, glad that we could help! You could totally do a retrofit on that vehicle, and you would want to reach out to the company The Retrofit Source for that!
But can you use a dual beam led bulb in place of a single beam bulb so low as the connectors are the same? Or at that point does it come down to heat output (in the housing or heat sink), wattage, amps and/or draw?
No, that won't work. It has to do with fitment. They all fit differently. You physically cannot replace a dual beam bulb (any style) with a single beam bulb (any style). They just won't go in.
My headlights do not come on, even the headlight high beam icon does not show in the cluster meter. When checking with a multimeter, I am getting 12 volts across all the three points of my H4 dual beam headlight bulb connector. Please help. URGENT
I just installed a pair of Spec D headlights that are only equipped with 1 projector and I noticed the H9 halogen bulb included only has one filament but is supposed to be dual beam. I found this video because my headlights sometimes get stuck on high beam and its very annoying and I want to replace them with the correct LED.
With that headlight, you most likely have a shutter that is in the projector, and that is what controls the switch from low to high beam. I would reach out to the company you purchased those from, and see if they will be able to replace that for you!
@@HeadlightRevolution You were right I was able to take apart the housing very easily and add high temperature grease to the shutter now it moves freely thank you.
I have a Hyundai Santa Fe. It has a dual headlight housing. so, a single bulb for low beam and the another one for the high beam. I am about to buy an LED bulb with a dual beam to use instead of the current single beam (high beam only). Will that work properly? So if I put it in the high beam will it automatically illuminate in high beam mode? Thanks
Hello Sir. I had H4 Autobahn Led Head Light This low beam works so bright and High beam works perfect but while high beam was turned on i can't see the things perfectly infront of me the light was throwing soo far away from me. So i need a help that when i turn on high beam the low also should work as well. Then i can able to see infront of my view and far way view as well. Please help me.
Unfortunately that can’t really be repaired or adjusted, You’d need a different bulb in your headlights. The SV4 or GTR Lighting Ultra Series 2 bulbs would work better for you in your headlights.
Hi guys, I am from South Africa, if I bought a product from you, let me say for a similar model of my car, is the design the same and will it fit into my car and how long will a shipment take to arrive in S.A?
I have an issue, I plugged everything in and on dim one light is in high beam mode, and the other is dim, and when in high beam mode the opposite happens..
Did you get them from us? If so, Reach out to sales@headlightrevolution.com and we will make sure you’re taken care of. It sounds like you got a mismatched set of bulbs.
I still dont get it .How come my Kia sportage 2020 model has HB3 bulb with with High and low beam in one bulb but when I look at it there is only one filament.
You might have a projector style headlight that uses one single filament bulb. Rather than using a dual beam bulb, You'll have a metal shutter inside the headlight that opens and closes to give you a functional high beam.
@@HeadlightRevolutionThanks for the quick reply.Yest it has a projector light and you are 100% right. Will the SCP mini a good choice for a Kia Sportage 2020 using a HB3 Headlight bulb as the original HB3 globe is totally crap and remind me of an old Volkswagen 6 volts headlight from 1965.How much better it should be compared to my original bulbs ?
I am wondering about the 9007 halogen. Does the low beam filament stay ON when the high beam is activated? I'm installing a projector unit where it moves a piece up for the "high beam" so I need the lowbeam filament to stay ON while clicking the high beam "opens the door" letting more light out. Similar to that electro magnetic bulb you showed, just moves to let more light.
If you’re doing a projector retrofit with the hi-low function you might just need single filament and wire the hi-low shield to the hi beam wire so when you turn on the hi beam it will lower the shield and let out more light. Like he said it won’t change the brightness of the light but the pattern instead to give you more light down the road.
This didn't help me at all I'm so f****** confused my car has single beam led headlights and my parents has dual beam led. How does single beam work vs dual beam.
@@HeadlightRevolution yes they are completely different. I tried them separately in different cars. So in the H7 fitting the light is brighter and distributed strongly on the ground. The light from the H4 is spread out but not so bright

Thank you for this breakdown! This explains why my old cars LED's sucked! I didn't install the right light bulb with it!
Hello. In the case of a Dual Beam Headlight Bulb, can it operate low and high beam at the same time ?, is it safe for the bulb ?
So some cars will do it if you pull back on the brightening stock and hold it back, rather than pushing it forward. It’ll do dim and high at the same time. Our old Taurus did it. But my crown Vic won’t, unless you pull back to brighten, let it go back to dim, and then pull back again immediately. It only does it about one second though.
