It is not about the brightest light, it is about a white light that is aimed properly, To many people put in super bright lights and fail to properly aim the head lights and they end up blinding everyone else. If you are lighting up the road 300 feet or more beyond your vehicle your head lights are not aimed properly. Nothing worse than some yahoo with lights so bright you can't see the road on your side anymore because their lights are blinding you.
My wife’s 2020 R/T already has HID but I would like them a little brighter and whiter, to match the fog lights better. Definitely going to look into this
Get Osram Cool Blue Intense Next Gen. I have them on my QX60 and they are brighter than any OEM LED setup on the road, except maybe the Tesla cars. After 10-15hrs of run time they settle in at about 5350K
Not an easy install at all. the driver and cord barely fit into the headlight so putting the dust cover back on is extremely difficult with hardly any room for your hand. Took me a couple hours. Hands are chewed up and I'm crossing my fingers that the dust covers stay.
2018 Durango GT. My hands got tore up and I don’t even know how I fit that big box and wires into the headlight. The manual for the bulbs says to have them at the 3 and 9 o’clock position, but another guy on here says 12 and 6. So now I’m confused lol
Even after installing H4 200w LED inside my projector headlight the brightness is not as expected. It’s dim. Only the fog light is helping me drive at night which has a H27 LED in it. How to increase the brightness in the projector headlight?
This can also depend on the condition of the headlights and the brand of LEDs you're using. The LED might be 200W, but it won't be any brighter if it doesn't replicate the correct optics. Additionally, if the projector bowl is burnt out you'll suffer with less light as well.
Do you have the LEDs oriented correctly? Inside a projector, the LEDs need to point straight up and down at the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock positions, or else the light will not get to the projector correctly and then cannot be projected forward out of the headlight.
Can you please test out the silver holder led headlights please? I want to get them but if they aren’t good then I don’t want to waste my money and time trying to install them
Did your MK5 GTI come with OEM HIDs? If so, an HID projector is specifically designed for HID bulbs and wouldn’t work well with LEDs. However, if it has halogen headlights, an LED replacement would be the better option. It really depends on your OEM setup!
When upgrading from a 2020 Durango GT with halogens, do you also need to upgrade the actual glass projector bulb? I put in the GTR HID kit but I don’t have anything close to that clean cut off line like in the video. I assume my projectors are diffusing the light rather than letting it shoot straight out onto the road.
@@HeadlightRevolution yeah the car is garage kept so the lens is perfectly clear. Only difference is the bulb inside. Would you have any projector replacement recommendations? The lights are brighter, sure. But my beam pattern is nothing like in the video.
@@chuckmere5671 Are you sure that you have the bulbs seated correctly? I have a 2014 Durango that takes 9012 bulbs but basically the same headlights that you have in your 2020. I have the GTR 6000K bulbs with Hylux ballast, they are super bright with a great beam pattern. If you wanted a replacement projector I would look at the Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0 or the NHK G5 HID projectors. Either one will fit you headlights with the correct mounting bracket.
So with The HID is there an actual upgrade kit or do you just have to to mount the ballast if there is a actual kit to upgrade to HID what is involved in doing the installation?
so are LED bulbs just plug and play? i’m not too bright with car stuff and have been getting confused with trynna make the wack ass yellow go to that clean white
I have always hated halogen bulbs! They are never bright enough at night! I still have my super white 6k hid lights that I bought and installled 9 years ago!
Generally no, the ballast will usually work or not. However, HID bulb performance will degrade over time. So new bulbs will perform better than old ones.
It’s a halogen projector so it isn’t the best, no, but still much better lighting than stock and still won’t blind anyone since there’s a proper cutoff.

Get a 55w ballast

Awesome thanks for breaking that down. Currently having the same issue, about how long you think it’ll take to do alone the way you did?
Glad it helped! Shouldn't take long depending on what you're doing.
How's the morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 perform on this vehicle?
Not an easy install at all. the driver and cord barely fit into the headlight so putting the dust cover back on is extremely difficult with hardly any room for your hand. Took me a couple hours. Hands are chewed up and I'm crossing my fingers that the dust covers stay.
Man I’m going through that struggle right now and looking for videos, I don’t how he put those cords in so easy in that video

@@cdfj5888These guys are just trying to sell their products. They never show the installation properly. I have same issues in past

HID bulbs fit better with Projectors. LEDs suck when it comes to projectors, tried it. Switched to HID and never went back.

use HID, it will more focus and brighter in my opinion.
@@RamMan2016the manual for the bulbs says to face the LEDS at the 3 and 9 o’clock position. Am I missing something here lol
Can you please test out the silver holder led headlights please? I want to get them but if they aren’t good then I don’t want to waste my money and time trying to install them
Vw mk5 GTI HID or LED in a projector housing ? which gives better light output?

@HeadlightRevolution it came with the HID projectors . Thanks Legend👌

It also depends on your headlight lens condition, hazy lenses can cause blurry beam patterns.

Hi.. You tell me it is the ballast strength or intensity over the years?
Would i need a anti flicker harness when installing sv4 s for a 2019 Durango with the projector headlight
Hey anyone have good bulbs I can use on a 2021 Chevy traverse please
Are you saying if i upgrade the headlights i HAVE to do the turn signals as well?
You can upgrade headlights without upgrading turn signals!
Are the S-V.4 hi and low beam?
so are LED bulbs just plug and play? i’m not too bright with car stuff and have been getting confused with trynna make the wack ass yellow go to that clean white
Yes they are! Super easy install 👏🏻
Did these works 4 Challenger 2018 sxt ?

Sorry, could you tell me if the ballast lose strength or intensity over the years?

Those patterns on the HIDs and LEDs really suck.

You ignore the first generation Durangos and praise this joke of a Durango?!?! Wow…
We can look into making some videos for the 1st Gen!
