Yes!, a new video of my favorite “Quality engineer in automotive industry”👍😁
I use myself bulb E, with chrome finish.
Every year i must renew the bulbs, but look so good, luckily they are cheap.
@@harryscholten4657do you have the link for the bulbs?
I love your methodology. Keep the high quality testing!
I love these videos, thank you for all the time and money you put into this !!!
Excellent. Definitely my favorite test. This packs a lot of performance into a short run time. LED K is my choice. On my wishlist at Amazon too. Light output is overwhelming while also covering a wider area to truly fill the reflector in the daytime. I need that in clear turn signals which can washout incandescent bulbs in the sun. Not a fan of LED A because of the solid all metal top emitting no light from the tip, where it's needed in the blinding tropical sun. This test is the best of it's kind. Bravo Sergiu !
As ever, interesting and useful information, presented very well. Keep it up, Sergiu 👍
Good job,Sergiu!Abia astept urmatoarele teste si la cat mai multe.Respect!
I'll be honest, I bought bulb B for my car thinking since there are not that many LED chips it shouldn't get too hot. BOY WAS I WRONG THE WHOLE TIME. I will definitely remove them and buy different design. Thank you for this helpful video you basically saved my car from getting burned.
Yeahs!! Was waiting for this one.
I can't believe you made such a complete and informative video. Hugs from Brazil.
Very informative, thank you. Surprising results also!
Interesting results. Bulb E was Bulb R in the reverse light test. It handled most of the tests back then. Been using them as reverse lights for about a year now. No issues whatsoever.
And what now? The bulbs are working ok now? I wanna get the bulb E on this test
Thank you Sergiu for your excellent videos, you da real MVP!
Absolutely great video!
I love this, really informative!
Thank you Sergiu!
I really like your channel.
great review and tests!
the chapters are very useful
hey man, Exellent it was great all the test were great 👍👍💕
Excellent excellent video!!!! Thank you again!!!!
You are AWESOME bro. Thanks for this infos about this leds
Sergiu, I really like this video, it shows lots of details of LED indicator lights. Thank you for your sharing. 😘
Excellent test. You put a lot of work into this experiment.
Bloody hell, talk about a detailed test..
Great job 👍
Awesome review! =D
I'm also a quality engineer and appreciate the thorough objective testing. In my own experience, the Sylvania ZEVO bulbs in the US (It should be the same as OSRAM Premium) has higher output then the standard Sylvania/OSRAM LED bulbs. The ZEVO/Premium bulbs have a higher specified power and a metal heatsink to help dissipate heat. It would be nice to see both the standard and higher power OSRAM bulbs included in future tests.
I've bought some ZEVO indicator LEDs for my car, they pale in comparison to the old philips xtreme vision Leds, the Philips are twice as bright as incandescent bulbs, while the Zevo's can't reach incandescent level of brightness. (although they come very close)
They are reliable though, I've had this set for more than 6 years, and they still work fine!
i installed model H 88 Led, on Toyota Auris 2015 and it has an amazing amount of light .But your opinion as also respectable ✌
Had the Zevo led brake lights on my Lexus es for about 3 years now. Still going strong and no issues at all!
From my experience, the point of high wattage LED is to imitate the resistant of an incandescent bulb. But, when you continuously blinking them around 3-4 mins, the bulb hotter and the resistance goes down (Ambience Temp around 30 C, Humidity around 90%RH) leads to hyperflashing. When I choose LED, this is one of my criteria. I've also test that large aluminum body for a heat sink though but it doesn't last longer than 4 mins. Now, I've got the active cooling bulb (not the one you test) and I test it around 20mins and it's fine. I recommend you to test this topic for next time.
can you share the one you have ? / prefer
@@mbalunovic An active cooling one from MAXGTRS www.aliexpress.com/item/4000683091328.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.39.b0cc494byqHG0v
Hyper flashing is one thing but most important is that the bulb won't turned itself off due to overheat. There was once in an accident and the bulb failed due to overheat. Been using the led bulb I tested above close to a year and its still working well. Perhaps if the test could include if they hyper flash or turned off overtime would be great.
@@AndyCheah0625 the test showed them running in the oven for 30 minutes (constant not flashing)
Hi Sergiu! Thanks for your videos: like so much how do you dig into technical details.
I wanna to share with you some of my experience dealing with LEDs: found that in automotive/motorcycle applications most of these low-power (watts) bulbs are rated/advertised for 12V, and when stressed for some time with the usual 12-14.5V involved in battery-powered circuits they starts to fail after few months (flashing, burned chips). So I think would be useful if you include on your test pool a check for the presence of IC voltage regulators embedded on the LED bulb, providing a protection against voltage variations.
Don´t hesitate to contact me if you need further information on this aspect and the brands I´ve found they included a voltage regulator on it´s designs; in some cases they are rated for 12-24VDC with a constant power output.
I purchased 4x F because of this video. Thanks.
Edit: I've now had them installed for months, and they're working perfectly. One thing to note tho, they're significantly brighter, like really.
Osram and Philips are in this case very disapponting. That's a shame because their LED headlights are top quality
I went for Osram "Premium" LEDriving BAU15s for my Octavia mk3 and those are working just fine (the ones with the metal surroundings). Those aren't brighter than stock incandescents, but look crispier and don't give any error messages since those have been coded to be LEDs. 😊 Of course those still could perform better and most of all - be cheaper...
Are they made in china?
I've seen them in aliexpress but it says on the box (made in china)
@@Mmoukarii
Where did u buy it ??
I will be getting the Philips for my rear indicators that have a reflector housing. The reason the big brands went for indirect light is that they know this is going to be used as a replacement part for halogen reflector housings and the fact that the brightness from the regular bulb is already good enough, any more and it becomes blinding and distracting to the people sitting behind you in a turning lane.
I simply want the crisp blinking that LEDs give but not to blind the person behind me and distract them, don’t need them rear ending me bc they’re not focussed.
Plus those two bulbs do the best in the temperature/overheating test and I want my indicator bulbs to be reliable, since if they fail I won’t know and that would cause big trouble on the road.
@@User-cb4jm I just installed LED J, and before fitting them I did a Lux measurement of my incandescent bulbs as well. My incandescent indicator bulbs, where 50lux at 1.5m and these LED Bulbs 130lux at the same distance. So almost 3x times as bright.
The reason I decided to go for bulb J: it's only € 6 for a pair, and based on how they do in my headlights. I might be able to run down, which LED indicator bulb would not be to bright.
Actually I think LED M might come closet to it.
I watched this video purely to see if i made a good buy.
Glad you featured the LED K mine branded as 'Oushi' from amazon uk. in november 2021
My aim was to get the brightest bulb possible as it was for my motorcycle. front bulbs lay horizontal and rear bulbs face directly backwards, so general brightness was more important than focused brightness.
To say your testing confirms my expectations from the bulb with it's design is probably an understatement.
The performance has been rather incredible and certainly glad i brought them.
Would be nice to see all data in a single chart. Makes it easier to compare and pick the right bulb for you.
Nice, my 1 year old amazon-bought turn signal led just went out last week and I've been searching for a better replacement. I'll heed your results and buy the best one.
Truly said Headlamp design plays significant role for any type of bulb regardless of their irrespective flux intensity.
I'm using the E bulb for more than 1 year in all 4 corners of my car. So far is doing a good job, far better light output in my case, no warning light, no flickering and the glass is still over the LED's.
Amazing and very detailed video! The results for the Philips X-tremeUltinon Gen2 is very interesting. I bought my Philips X-tremeUltinon Gen2 a while ago. And from the moment I installed it, it was significantly brighter than my incandescent W16W. I liked them especially because they utilize the existing reflectors resulting in a "fuller" look.
PS 2012 Corolla both front and rear turn signals.
PS Also, I changed my 2003 Corolla's brake lights with the Philips X-tremeUltinon Gen2, and they were significantly brighter (might I say too bright when braking). I suspect it was because of the specific Corolla housing because it was so large.
PS I'm no engineer, but I just wanted to share my experience.
I just got my X-treme Ultinon gen 2 as well in PY21W. I’m puzzled with the results in this video because the led is clearly much brighter than my stock incandescent bulb with only 1500km of driving. If the result (lumen) is accurate, I don’t see any reason to go with brighter alternatives because it will just blind every drivers behind you at that point. Not to mention the philips will probably last much longer because it run much cooler.
I like the vibration test. The bass from my two 12" subwoofers destroy my bulbs. It cracks solder joints. I've had to fix/replace many LEDs in the rear due to my stereo. 😁
It would also be nice to check the EMC if, for example, it does not interfere with FM reception or DAB reception.
I have oxito led bulbs with built in rezistor in my car for about 2 years with no issues what so ever no overheating no dead led chips
Really happy with them and they are stupid bright
Highly recommend them
I got the GTR2’s from Headlights Revolution replacing all the incandescent indicator, rear position/brake, and reverse bulbs.
The GTR2’s are way stronger bulbs than any halogen ever was.
A bit expensive but well worth the money spent. I have no regrets.
cmon this guy deserves the most views! subscribe and like guys. he's giving us the the best items for our cars
Have been using the bulb A more than 6 months on Kia Sportage without any problem. It is very bright and easily visible even when the HIDs are on.
You make goood vidéos brother!!!!!
I use LED A, had them for 1 year without any problems. Super bright and it have build in resistor to avoid hyperflash and warning lifht on dash.
Price was 15ish $ for pair
Really recommend it
I use LED E for my front turn signals, I've had a few of them go out. But I keep buying the same because I like the light output and the built in CANBUS. Really great for being seen during the noon sun.
I know bulb E in white version (used as reverse light). Good rate price to light output. However I think are too strong for signal light. You mean are good during sunny day, ok, but what during the night? I think you can blind other drivers in night.
@@adamx7877 just enough to be visible next to my also quite powerful headlights. I do also take into consideration other drivers when I'm "parked" with my hazards on at night. If I'm going to be blinding someone with my hazards I just use my park lights instead.
Same with me. I remove the glass for better cooling.
@@alvinfernando6906 And has removing glass helped?
@@koce7276 yep.. but i think not much
Vibration test is great for those who want to use them in motorcycles, especially Harley’s ! The quick conclusion keep your $1 incandescent as they still work better than leds.
After watching this video I decided to stick with the Philips SilverVision incandescent:
1. they look stylish (hardly any egg-yolk look left)
2. they are slightly brighter than normal orange bulbs
3. they have a great longevity, not only for the filament, but also there is no yellow coating that dries out and crumbles away over the years.
🤓
The silver coating will also crumble away from those bulbs...
I have something similar to J bulb and it's funny because the brand start with the letter J. I have them install on my car since 2 years ago front and back indicators and still working hard and still bright. I live in NC and we have all the seasons here. They might look cheap but they're canbus ready and the brightness is awesome. Sometimes research is important when investing money on things like this. I have converted all my lighting to LED 2 years ago and still going with no issues. 2015 Scion Tc is my car.
Good tests. Did you install any of these bulbs in your car after all?
Hey Sergiu, it´s really nice work with these bulbs and such but i wanna ask you if you will compare in some time (maybe not in plan) xenon bulbs Osram Night Breaker laser vs Osram cool blue intense next generation. However thanks for your work 🙂
buna job!
I decided to choose LED J: because it was rated to be somewhat good, and it even had fair reliability. Two bulbs are € 6 and I'm going fit them in my front indicators, hopefully they won't die to quickly. But I think with indicators it shouldn't be a big issue, that they get hot. As it's only used a very short time period. I wouldn't want to use them as rear lights..... then the high temperature probably will kill the bulb very fast.
Salut, ca sa nu ai probleme cu hyper flash trebuie puse toate 4 sau merg doar 2 pe fata/spate ?
I cant understand why good quality LEDs are not legal, they are better than Standard bulbs and last longer. But Osram and Philips must improve their LEDs. This are European rules need to be changed...
No lights at all are actually illegal. It is the amount of light (Lumen) that needs to be correct. For this, the manufacturer needs an approval license to sell it for legal use.
Even if that’s the case. I would still slap the led bulbs for better safety.
I use white LED E's as reversing lights on my car. They are quite good for that purpose.
The LED F is from auxito. I run those as 7440. For 24 watts and 1600 lumens, it’s one of the best and brightest turn signal lights ever. Very handy and increase safety. Huge day and especially night difference. 🔥🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼
What led bulb do you recommend for DRL? I have T20 W21/5W bulb in reflector, possibly canbus needed for error codes.
Your LED crash-tests are just awsome. I get a question. In the "indicator lights test", the incandescent bulb get 109/102 lux. But in the "resversing lights test", only 53 lux. Why such a difference when it’s the same filament (Osram 21W) ?
I don't like the sharp blinking of LED, the pulsing effect of halogen is much more visible and attracting attention. With stop lights though it is completely the opposite, but I still haven't found out how to get around CANbus errors in a good way. Can resistors be mounted on the stoplight fuses, instead on the wiring?
i was hoping you tested bulb G on your LED stop light (bulb P on reverse light) since they also came with amber color. i bought Cree XB-D LED years ago for my tail indicator but they were white. not much choice to pick on my place since i dont really want to wait a month of shipping from aliexpress. maybe you can also try 3570 CSP LED next time since they were pretty bright used on my dad's scooter tail light. this one only came in white color, though
Bine te-am gasit domnule Inginer!

@@SergiuGabor cannot wait! literally! subscribe notifications on
My car uses 3457 amber LED as both parking light and turn signal. It would be interesting to see the difference in light output between these two modes. I bought sylvannia LED bulbs with osram chips, and the light output difference between the parking light mode and turn signal mode so minor you cannot tell the if the turn signal is flashing at night when the parking light is on. So I am forced to stick with halogen bulbs for now.
It would have been nice to see a dual filament function tested. Many cars have their indicators double as parking lights and so much like a brake light, they need good contrast between the high and low modes in order to be visible when signaling.
All the chinese bulbs are rubbish. If these tests don't prove that firmly enough, just look at the silly brand names, ridiculous shapes and sizes, and absolutely fake materials. Just as an example I use only Philips and Osram LEDs on my car, keeping the turn signals, headlights and left/right stop lights halogen (these I tried to convert and red Osram LEDs did give great colour behind the lens, but CANbus said "no"...)
@@zacmich6472 Yeah, we sure did see how much better those Phillips and Osram LEDs were right?
@@darkboy1759 depends on housings
i bought a few types from your last reviews on the reversing lamps and I put some in my indicators but they were too bright :-) even behind amber lenses so I bought amber bulbs and they are perfect. the reversing bulbs were changed too and it is like have headlights in the back of my chariot :-)
Some cars have reverse polarity and so some but not many leds are non polar.For these reason I bought the E in your test before it was done.Unfortunality it was far too bright at start up -28W (fell to 9,5W after some minute)and lose from its socket as you also experienced.
In the future T10 and T15 would be nice and interior LED such as Festoon C5W 😅😊
Thank you...
You're welcome!
Thank you for this video. Do you plan to test Philips Ultinon Pro9000 H7 led? It seems most interesting althou also very expensive new and easy to install led bulb.
Old Philips indicator LEDs were VERY good. I've had a set for almost 7 years in my car, it's much, much brighter than a incandescent bulb (at least twice as bright).
I've been using Philips brake, reversing, and indicator LEDs for nearly a decade in my car, and they all still work great, VERY bright, VERY reliable, GREAT light pattern. It's a shame Philips decided to stop making them, they were expensive, sure, but they were extremely well built too.
so it will dazzle other drivers at night, thats great!
@@petrvalkoun4539 Actually, they don't.
My car is an old fiat from early 90s, with very inefficient tail lights, their reflectors are not concave around the bulbs (it's literally a square box that doesn't focus the light whatsoever), and instead of being painted with chrome paint, the reflectors are painted with cheap, low reflectivity, silver paint.
By fitting it with such efficient LEDs, the light output from the tail lights is around the same of a modern car using incandescent bulbs now.
Modern cars fitted with LED tail lights from factory actually dazzle A LOT more, the light output in those things is unbearable!
Thanks for the testing, Sergiu! What I find lacking is the cost. Most of the upgrades if not are actually not justified in cost as far I can tell by your purchase prices. For example W5W set of 2 bulbs is just 1$, where set of LED retrofits of Osram and Philips are $10. Makes me believe that if you do not look for the tuning and upgrading aspects, it's totally not worth to upgrade or change to LED, because often incandescent bulbs are reliable enough and always the cheapest option in my honest opinion. What do you guys think?
My car is 22 years old now, it's a cheap economic car from Fiat which did not have reliable electrics when new, imagine now, two decades later.
Brake lights specifically, would burn or stop working every 6 months or so.
Indicator bulbs drew so much current from the thin wiring, that the whole car lighting would dim whenever they lit.
Headlights had those classic glass lens with patterns to focus the light, terrible efficiency.
To make things worse, my country decided to make mandatory to turn on headlights during the day on highways. This caused the bulbs to burn quicker, and even to overheat and damage the reflector of my headlights. More electric devices turned on = more load on the alternator = more fuel consumption.
LEDs were a blessing, sure they are expensive, but (provided you bought them from a decent brand like Philips) they:
-light up faster (better reaction time from other drivers = more safety)
-light up brighter (better visibility = more safety)
-Consume 1/5 the power of incandescent (less stress on the alternator = better fuel economy)
-Barely get hot (extends the life of the light fixtures of the car)
-Much, much longer life span (if they don't burn in critical situations, like when you need them at night, or during high speed travel = more safety)
To me, if you like you car (wants to keep it forever), and/or wants a little bit more safety, and have the money to upgrade to decent LEDs, then do it.
If your car is modern, decently designed and put together, and you're gonna replace it anyways every 2-3 years, don't even bother.
Sergiu could you test led light bars next ? I know theres a variation between them but could you test light pattern, brightness and temperature as well as wattage ?
Which led do I need for a dacia sandero stepway plus 2021. I know p21w is what I need. Which led is the best for me.
I run osram/Sylvania zevo bulbs on my vehicles one vehicle has had them now going on 6 years with 0 issues, way brighter then stock bulbs in free-form reflectors and housings ware the bulbs go in on an angle the zevo is way better then the other osram led you tested
U can’t go wrong with sylvania zevo led bulbs. They are truly a set it and forget it led bulb replacements. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
The LED H link no longer works. It would be good to also put their names. I know they get rebranded a lot and such but still , there's a chance to find them if the links don't work anymore.
This was apparently a Maxgtrs signal lamp.
Can you maybe review W5W LED and check for canbus etc. I need them for my license plate lighting but I tried many and most give canbus warning or get really hot.
I saw in mazda new lineup that the led turn signals mimic the latency of the incandescent bulb so why bother change them...in 20 years I got one bulb burned on turn signals and I changed all of them as a preventive maintenance cause even if they worked fine there was some smoke or something black-ish inside them... I have an e39 btw...
Anyway great review as always. Keep up the great work
Cea mai buna veste cand dai upload
Hey, I would like to buy some LED bulbs, but the top 3 dont fit my car. Can you recommend any 1157 type bulbs for turn signals?
So I tested Bulb J some time ago and my results are the complete opposite: my incandescent indicator bulbs only do 50lux at 1.5m, where bulb J did 130lux and being crazy bright. Which makes me believe, some of the cheaper bulbs would be a better option.
Because the goal isn't to blind everyone with your indicators, but make them look better by adding LED light.
I ordered the LED F instead of the Philips LED turn signal bulbs I originally thought of buying, thank you for making these videos so the we don't have to waste our money and swim in the shit so to speak.
Hey Sergiu
There's any of those LEDs that's from Auxito?
Following your recommendation I purchased the winning bulb F. It's sadly a big disappointment. In my 2007 Citroen C5 Break they didn't even go on, when installed in the front lights, and we're causing hyperflashing. Need to send them back now, 'cause they're simply useless for me.
Can you also test high beam LEDs?
Salut fa un video despre xenon to led, sunt enorm de multe leduri pentru masina care ar trebui sa fie plug and play de ex ds1 xenon sau altele multumesc . Faci o treaba extraordinara bravo si salutari din olanda 😉
Hi, please test another turn indicator led, because there's still a lot of other model out there.
And i have a question how to install T7440 LED instead of W16 without chenging the wiring ? Help pleas 👍👍
I use LED M - type of bulb with T20 socket, they hyperflash, but I buy led flasher relay which is direct plug and play as original relay and now it works fine.
Lien of the led???? I want to buy
Hello Sergiu, greetings from Slovakia.
I'm very appreciate your work! But from my experience, test for hyperflash can be very, how I can say it, usefull. Why? I tested bulbs on my cars and on one it's working and on another not (have hyperflash). Cars are from same brand. Ford C-Max and S-Max. On C-Max they works and on S-Max no. So they works until I didn't start engine :D
vleds v6 triton, baby!
And VLED’s Triton V6 Extreme.
Can you tested Narva LED? Cost is 45$ for Narva H7 LED
I have Osrams for my turn signals and the light output is more or less identical with the incandescent bulb.
Lmao, "no tits" quote got me laugh my head out man.
Do switchback LEDs!
Большое спасибо,жду ещё видео с skoda octavia,к меня такой же авто и как раз хотел ставить led вы очень помогли,привет из России 🎉
Buna Spune-ți va rog mult de care sami iau unu bun led de semnalizare care nu face problema pt Skoda Superb 3 doar spate mulțumesc anticipat !!!
O sa testezi si lupe bi-led?
I wasn't expecting such bad results from Osram and Philips. But did you used a Headlight from a VW Golf? The Indicator Housing is so small, that any Bulb with side and back facing LEDs would perform badly. I would love to see bigger housings with reflectors inside as addition, if it's possible to you.
That's why I also measured the "raw light output". Unfortunately the results were still pretty bad ..
@@SergiuGabor even the raw output test (non focused light in all directions) is not fully comparable to a bigger reflector (maybe focused light in "nearly" one direction (maybe because there you could see and measure if the LEDs are in the right spot/focus point, in this case I think both would perform much better)).
I bought Philips bulbs anyway (for 2021Highlander) and they look great - brighter than the original light, but not blinding, i.e. perfect. The housing/reflector shape definitely matters - those in my car seem to like the rear-projecting LEDs like the Philips ones.
@@SergiuGabor I have a Suzuki Dzire. I want to install LED signals without installing resistors. Are there such lamps?
Please put the results into a spreadsheet... would be much easier to compare!
The best are oxilam 7443, they have a built-in resistor and they are blinding
Which is a nice and a must
Hello, can you test products from Formula j87 ?
Any link for the F model ??
Interesting test, but not done completely right. The indicator lights are very tricky due to, as you said, the type of the housing. Best is to shop by specific car. In my case BMW. I have an e92 pre-LCI where I’ve changed the front turn signal bulbs w i-JDMtoy. It was designed for the car and works great. On my girlfriends BMW F20, I’ve changed the rear lights w Philips X-tremeUlinon Gen 1 (not 2) and they are bright as hell. I was a bit worried that she will blind the person behind. Also as a side effect people started to respect when the indicator is on and let us do the maneuver. On the front I put again I-JDMtoy and they are also crazy bright. Slightly orange / pink tint when light up.
None of them gave us a hyper flash on either car, just the typical BMW flick when the car sends a test signal. Nothing that was not correct by simple coding. I’ll be installing the Phillips on an Astra H, so I’ll update the comment.
Also on the F20 replaced the brake lights with Phillips X-tremeUltinon Gen 2, great result. Brake lights is much sharper, color wise and function wise.
