▬ A NOTE ON USING LED LIGHTS AS HALOGEN BULB REPLACEMENTS ▬
Aim your headlights AT LEAST once a year and ALWAYS after replacing the bulbs.
If the cutoff is bad or you can’t aim them accurately or the light output scatters, it is NOT safe to use. Try a different style of LED or one with a lower output that will be more compatible with your light housing. See my other videos for more reviews.
When I use the word “headlights”, I am referring to legal off-road use or fog light use only as replacing factory halogen bulbs with LEDs for headlights in the US is not currently legal nor a DOT approved practice.

Great review. You're retained output over 27 minutes is the biggest key to these reviews. If these were able to retain closer to that 80% mark, these would be absolutely insane.
that will need some more efficient led that dont generate heat, or maybe just a fan with higher rpm

You should test it at 14.2 Volts instead of 12V. This 14 volts is the voltage the alternator or DCtoDC converter 99.99% operate when we drive. 12V is only when the engine is off. Halogen bulb is always 40% brighter at 14 V but LED is often the opposite from heat problems.
Please review a 'Philips ultinon essential H11' (Fan cooled ) next please !!!!!! , these are extremely popular and I want to know how does it stack up against the big boys .
I got the arismotor led for 33$ a week ago when it was on sale. It retained 85% light after 27 minutes which is good for my budget. Thanks a bunch my man.
Not a bad choice for the money!
I love how you do your testing. Lots of infos that help alot of people. Thank you for doing these reviews. More power to you and your channel.
Thank you!
I have changed my car headlights with LED and I'm satisfy with it. but watching your videos for reviewing LED Headlights are awesome. Good Job and greets from Indonesia!
Glad to help! Thanks!
Would love to see other bulbs like the t10, t15 and 1156 as these seem to be common for cargo and reverse lights. And worth mentioning that the weak point at the bottom of the projector tests might not be a bad thing. It actually kinda works as a foreground limiter of sorts
Waiting to see the SV-4 (and it's clones) as well as the Philips Ultinon Pro9000 (in the reflector) tested on your channel.
I know I have been saying that i will get to them and I do want to get my hands on them. However, my backlog keeps growing and I am not sure when they heck I can fit them in. I haven't forgotten about them but new stuff comes out all the time and I am trying to stay on top of it. Plus, it is a budget thing which is why I often ask for Patreon supporters and Super Thanks here on RUclips to help things along.
If you come across a deal on either light, let me know ASAP!
@@CarLightReviews Absolutely, and I definitely appreciate the tremendous effort you put into creating the useful content. I'll definitely let you know if I come across any deals on those.
Please test the newer X-Rose 225w, X-Black Samurai 250w and X-Ares 240w.
I will be very thankful as I didnt find any review on these lights.
Much better if H4s are done.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've had a pair in my 2004 Nissan Maxima (European model, so A33 with headlights similar to Infiniti I30) high beams for about a year now. They are very bright and work without any issues.
Glad to hear it!
love the inclusion of the thermal camera you're the only reviewer i know that includes this for easily available lights in the US. I ended up getting those Forschures ;) since they have the best output per watt/efficiency. two of our subarus have these really hopeless, PATHETIC headlight connectors that melt more often than the actual bulbs sometimes, after we replaced the harness pairs twice we just started splicing in pigtails from napa and oreiley. btw subaru charges about 45$ for the harness part per side. they don't sell just the connector. after a few months all is well, the 21 watts they pull is way less than the 60 peak watts on the old halo's, connectors aren't getting KFC double crispy so that's nice. oh and they're twice as bright as a bonus 👍♥.
you're featured on their website nice! shortlisting these for my fathers utv since he insist living out in the middle of nowhere. (Montana)
I bought Auxbeam GX series and they are brighter than my first Maxxlink Leds.
They are indeed impressive.
I would love to see you do a video for the auxbeam T1s to compare to the new gx to see if they're with the cost difference. However the test I would really like to see is the VLED micro evolutions line. The 2 are my best sellers but I absolutely love vleds and think they are kind of slept on
Love to see how wide the beam pattern is. I see some LEDs provide very narrow beam compared to Halogens. Also love to see comparison between LEDs vs H9 halogen as many claims that H9 is superior than any LEDs.
Unfortunately, at this time...my garage is only so wide. :) You raise a good point. I hope to be able to fix that in the future.
H9 halogen is 10 watts higher than H11 halogen but from what I understand, it results in 25% more light output on average.
While I haven't tested them, I don't yet see a halogen H9 can compete with current LED offferings.
@@CarLightReviews thank you very much for what you are doing and the heat measurements are a huge thing for me running them in side my 4Runner low beam housing. I was so close to buy the Boslla from last video then I was thinking how can I find the width of lighting. I feel like my SV-4 have a narrow light pattern. As for H9 upgrade there is a huge vote in the 4Runner community thats its far "superior than any LED bulb out there" claiming that halogen projectors won't work good.
@@LionRunner Can you send me an email to info@carlightreviews.com with a link to where they are saying the H9 is superior to any LED? I'd like to learn what makes them say that. Thanks for the info!
Wish you could do the X-7seven Kronos. Looks to have a fan as large as the Apollo but output is in between the Aurora and Apollo so it shouldn't be driven as hard. Could have better retained output and lower operating temps.
thought this will blow away the competition...
I think it did pretty good, it came close and if you look at initial output, it did blow everything else away...at least by a little bit.🤪
It is difficult to start that bright and keep it that bright.
Your channel is great. It would definitely be cool to see you review T10 bulbs.
I commend you for such consistent and great reviews. I have a 2008 Acura MDX SUV, yes I am aware that the GTR ULTRA 2 Cool white is more expensive & has a lifetime warranty.
Question: for my High Beam Reflectors, do you think that the X-7Seven Apollo LED Headlights would be better than the GTR ULTRA 2 LED'S? (the prices are not an issue, I prefer quality & brightness)! Thank you sir...
You have a decision to make on this one. GTR is better quality but over twice the price, but the Apollo is brighter. I'd say if you drive with your high beams on often and for long periods of time, get the GTR. However, if you use your high beams occasionally, you should be fine with the Apollo.
@@CarLightReviews Thank you so very much, here in North Carolina there are not many street lights and we often drive with our High Beams on to watch out for deer etc... So I may choose the GTR ULTRA cool white. Thanks again, I appreciate your help. God bless.....
😅 good morning I am new to your channel and since I’ve been following you for a few weeks I purchased this item to put in my 18 wheeler. It has no rival but I need some type of instructions on how to aim the light and I’ll give you Channel five thumbs up, this is Rev Jesse CB handle priest . Please do a video for me.
I don't know if 18 wheeler headlight aiming is any different than passenger vehicles, but Form Lighting has a very good page about how to do it: www.formlights.com/blog/how-to-aim-your-led-headlights
Can u do a comparison video about other brands. like novsight n60 and x7 seven apollo to see whats better led.
And ur the best at reviewing these led light keep it up bro!
Thanks! Just look at my other videos and check out my comparison chart at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs. More videos on the way!
You can see all of the details of the Novsight N60 here: ruclips.net/video/3orj2-vp2B8/видео.html
Thanks!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Led bulb become better than stock HID, do you think it would be a good idea to make content with D1S/D2S/D3S bulb. Because a many people are interested to swap stock HID to led but its difficult to have information about output/quality with these bulb
I swaped my D3S stock HID to Cool Blue Boost : better but too blue for my tast and bad in wet road, so i tried Osram Nightbraker Laser : better than CCB, color more natural but output isnt too good for HID+old bi xenon.
I tried led : better than xenon, output is good and cuttof and beam are the same as stock. Good improvment, but i would like to know how the bulb i installed perform compared to other, so a test with these kind of bulb (stock HID to led) would Interest many people.
Hi there i see your a expert in these reviews and i trust ur advice. May i know what model would u recommend for a upgrade over the auxito y13?
Depends on your budget. Have a look at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and compare what I have tested to the Y13. Let me know if you zero in on something.
awesome video! I have an MDX 2004 will these LED work in the factory housing? Or do I need to upgrade for it to work? I am looking to move away from the dimmer halogens
Salute bro, your videos have been of great help, but would I really appreciate if you can answer me this doubt as the Fahren Krieges is about 20,000 lumens where as the X-7seven Apollo is 12,000 lumens, so clearly in the test the aurora has more lux, but my doubt is what the lumens represent there? The Krieges reaches more but it’s less bright or how? Thanks a lot!
Don't bother with the published lumens as a guide. The testing can be manipulated in so many ways to make the numbers higher, and every company tests them differently...or not at all and just make up numbers based on calculations. That's why do the tests that I do. :)
I do have a suggestion, you mentioned this one has an adjustable collar. I have the Bevinsee v45... (which it looks like they have a v55 now with crazy 150w claims) with an "adjustable" collar, but it only has 2 possible positions. Whereas some collars have a set screw so it can be loosend and put in the correct 9/3 o'clock positions. It may benefit your viewers to see the adjustability with the collars.
Either way, great vids. I just realized I wasn't subscribed, so I am now
Thanks for the suggestion. Typically, I show if it comes with a wrench to change the position. I used to mention if it is friction-fit or otherwise, I'll try to out more focus on that in the future. Question: what vehicle do you have that you need to adjust the light output other than vertical (with the emitters at the 9 and 3 position)? I know there are some...but I am unsure which ones specifically.
@Car Light Reviews I have a 2017 charger pursuit projector lens..... my bevinsee bulbs only have 2 positions in the clocking ring. They are 180 degrees, which doesn't really have any effect on the 9/3.... there are some bulbs with an infinite setting just tighten the ring where the 3/9 line up
@@gunsncars469 If you have a projector, you don't typically need to worry about rotating them...just make sure the emitters fire horizontally and you should be good. Apologies if you already know this and I am missing your issue.
@Car Light Reviews
I can not get the emitters to point horizontally. One side is about 8/2, and the other is much worse at 7/1. The locking ring is non adjustable on the bevinsee's
@@gunsncars469 That's very strange. Are both Bevinsee units that way?
Great channe! How about an H4 shootout, both low and high beams. Thanks.
You mentioned this is at 55w per bulb. Im currently running an H8 halogen bulb at 35w is it safe to use a higher wattage LED? Wiring and fuse Wont have any problems? Thanks
Great video 💪🏾 what do you think about changing out d3s hid for led?
I am unsure if that would work well. I haven't been able to test LED replacements for HID like I have for halogen. I think HID still has a solid place in the market, despite their shortcomings compared to LED. I am planning some HID vs LED tests. What do YOU think? 😁
@@CarLightReviews Absoluetly, your tests are amazing 💪🏾🔥
@@reeisessit Thanks! :)
Can review x-7seven apollo plus ????❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤just see your aurora video .feel very good.but malaysia dont have sale.
Now my novsight n60 only use half year already no function of few led chip，n60 that was very bright,but life too short.....sad.....now looking which new product and replace my n60.
60
Yes I can and I will!
I hope you try novsight n60 pro it's new
And it's 200w so I hope try it
Thanks for this awesome video 😍
You can see all of the details of the Novsight N60 here: ruclips.net/video/3orj2-vp2B8/видео.html
i hope you would do a review of the new auxito m5s please, thank you.
I would but I cannot locate them. Would you be willing to send a set to me to get tested?
Like the fact you tested after 27 min. I'm however curious about what is the result after 2 to 3 hrs? Would temp b 2 hot?
They typically level off after a few minutes to several minutes, but almost always before the 27 minute mark. That's what the driver does, it regulates the brightness so it doesn't overheat. Some lights are better at it than others.
How to know if your reflector headlight can handle a certain headlight lumens? What are the test or things to consider? Thank you
Typical signs that the lumens are too high for the headlight design are if you cannot aim them correctly or if they scatter the light more than halogen.
@@CarLightReviews ohh okayy. Another question, Can u see a noticeable difference when it comes to realworld use between the apollo, hikari future titan nova, fahren termitor, and novsight n60? Because when it comes to lumen rating they are very far apart and when it comes to lux rating they are pretty close that ranges to 4800-5500
Just subbed new to your channel thanks for all your testing and info on product but I got one question wouldn't grease from hands getting on the led chip harm the performance of them most guides recommend wearing gloves when handling the led lights
Fair question, but do you ever see me touch the LED emitter? 😎
@Car Light Reviews Not yet good point I'll keep looking thru your videos😉
Has anyone used these in -40 degrees Celcius? Will they survive a Canadian winter? I'm worried about the fans.
-40? Brrrrrrrr.... Do you have factory dust covers on your lights?
Can you also review Novsight N37?
Hello, can you review the latest x77 apollo?
Yes, I will in an upcoming video. Stay tuned!
i wanna use 3 pairs of it on my car
one for fog lights
one for low beam
one for high beam
and i moded my car so when i use high beam it turns on both low and high
so its safe to say when i use my high beam + fog lights and with all the 3 pairs on my car would be a sun xD
Any recommendations for a H7 bulb in projectors ??
Can you test also the X 77 Zeus?
Have you ever tested Novsight N26 specific LED for projector? It has 45 degree up angle, kind of interesting design.
Not yet, that is definitely an interesting design. I'd like to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@CarLightReviews I tried to buy it for my Corolla IM with 9012 mounting. Unfortunately it has too thick base to mount. 4.3mm. The bump/click part on the original halogin is only 4.13mm. Hopefully, the 9011 mounts are fine because the 9012 bulb is pretty rare as an OEM.
Dose it have high and low bheem
If they make the dual beam size that you need, yes.
The Morimoto 2stroke 3.0 would be a good one to test
I did test it on my other channel, using slightly different testing methods. ruclips.net/video/0N9419LxeIU/видео.html
Maybe I should do another test with my current setup and see how it performs? What do you think?
@@CarLightReviews would like to see a new review on them. Need to get led lights very soon
Earned a sub.+like! Love it!
Awesome, thank you!
Best led for projector lens in your opinion? I just ordered the termintors for my 03 gt but looking for a good bright set to buy for my wife's 2020 4runner and hers are projector housings
You have to define "best". Best brightness? Best value? Best quality? Pick two. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data. That should help!
Or, you can go by my opinion (at least currently) and see this video:

Hi ! I get 2022 hunday elantra for my daughter! I Will looking to replace her headlights bulb regular bulbs with led so she can see better ! She have projector headlights H3 9005! Just my concern is heat if this is safe ! Sometimes she drive from Nyc to Florida ! Long distances! Do you have any advise! Thanks for the videos
For heat, you should have no issues. Take a look at the temperatures of LED headlights on my spreadsheet here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs

Hi is this the latest version in the X7 led
Boslla N7 140w H11.
i have also contacted Boslla about the 140w bulbs.. looks like a diffent aray of leds so maybe the watt output is real.
Can we please have a H4 bulb “shootout”. H4 is always hit or miss.
Can you do a test on the X7Seven Kronos LED thanks
I will be testing new X-77 lights in the future. Stay tuned!
Your opinion on X7 seven Kronos. advertised as 160 watts and 36000 lumens per pair and also effect of 80 watts led in 55 watts low beam. Thanks
Are they the same ones they sell on alibaba ?
I think the brightest I found was sngl headlights price is 176 per pair approximately
How did you measure the brightness?
can you try the keon sondra they are brand from philippines claimed to implement dual beam low and high output the same time hope i will see in the future
It doesn't appear that I can get them in my country, and based on the design of the light, they do not use a "flat" emitter, which often doesn't result of accurate light output.
Is that emitter you called the curve glass around the led?
@@denvdenztv6037 Yes, that is correct. Many also call it a chip.
Is that good sign for a headlights?🎉🎉🎉
PLEASE TEST DIAMOND VISION!!!
WHY????!!! 😆
Try the Apollo Ultra please.
24,000Lm claimed!
Where can this light be found online?
Can you please compare these to the Hikari hyper stars
Already done! See here: ruclips.net/video/rlcwIr-tJW8/видео.html. Compare the specs between the two here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
@@CarLightReviews oh great I will check it out thank you for your videos they are really helpful I’m ordering a set of apollos based on your review.
This or novsight n60?
About the apollo plus?
Will be testing and reviewing soon!
can you test X-seven ULTRA?
I will be testing NEW X-77 lights in the near future, stay tuned!
I actually just ordered the X77 ULTRA lol the aurora and Zeus was out of stock for my bulb hehe thanks for the informative vids. Hehe
When do you think the NEW x7 tests come out? And what series do you test? Zeus, apollo plus or ultra maybe?
How Good wold It be in a Highbeam when It Stays way Cooler
Can you rephrase the question? I am not quite sure what you are asking.
@@CarLightReviews In Short : A Test in the Highbeam's would be Very Interesting.
Explanation Why : LED Upgrade Are Illegal. (With some Excaptions Phillips/Osram in the Right Headlight)
But in the Highbeam's Its a Different Story, you use tham only when There is No Oncuming Traffic so i would Not Hesitate to Put tham in.
IF they are better But only IF
What do i mean by that LED are Different they have a Different Viewing Angle compared to Halogen, allso Alignment is Very important . (Some Chips are way Off so they dont work in Highbeam's You get Darkspots or less Beam Distanz)
Sergej Gabor did a Video about IT Osram vs Bevinsee vs Others, If you want to Watch IT to See what i mean by that .
In simple Just Hold a regular buld to IT.
And the LED should run Cooler because you dont have tham in all the Time.
I Hope i could Explan what i meant.
Have a nice Day
Cual brilla más apollo X7 H4 o las fahren H4 ?
See: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
Test the KRONOS please.
I will be testing new X-77 lights in the future. Stay tuned!
Is it compatible in any motorcyle
I can't speak for ANY motorcycle, but if it can use one of the automotive sizes available, it might be worth a try. You will have to consider placement of the external driver etc.
How much ? Price .
Click links in description or pinned post.
Where is your spreadsheet, please.
In the description of this video, but I'll save you the searching 😁 carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
@@CarLightReviews Thank you so much, I have every intention of getting some LED headlights, and your reviews are very helpful. Headlight Revolutions have told me what they recommend for my car, but I can't afford those prices. Another reason why your reviews of cheaper bulbs are most helpful. My car is a 1996 Lincoln Town Car, and as I watch all your reviews, I think yes, now I know what I am going to get. Then I watch another one of your reviews, and I end up doing nothing, again so, now again, I don,t know what to choose (lol). But one day soon, I will make up my mind. Thank you for all your reviews, it seems that LED headlights are legal here in Canada, as far as I can find out anyway, stay safe.
Re motorcycle
Please reup link aliexpress. I can not access
geni.us/x77ax
I like your testing methodology and kudos for doing great service but this review was a bit superfluous given that Sergiu Gabor had already top tested the Apollo a long time ago on his YT channel.
It would've added more value if you had tested X-7Seven's new flagship the X-Zeus which is also half the price of the Apollo since it's not only sold exclusively in the US (Aliexpress item no. 3256803805488492).
But even better would be to move on from testing various incarnations of yesteryear's 3570 chip, with only small variations in performance, and test something with the larger 5570 chip, which is now widely available (such as Aliexpress item no. 3256804514764803 ) and/or based on the the 5585 chip (Aliexpress item no. 3256804057267417).
Also the new 360 degree headlights with a thin quartz tube would be interesting to see a test of, if they live up to the hype and price (Aliexpress item no. 3256803813793093).
The shortest form of an AliExpress item's URL is:
aliexpress dot com slash item slash XXXXXXXXXXX dot html
Yes those would be cool to see tested, especially that 220W/pair 80000LM (as if) monsters from Bullvision 👍
I’d like to see CCT and CRI tested as well.
funny because if you ask Luis that work at X-7 i US.. then he says they are fake bulbs.
@@andreknudsne7648 NO ZEUS IS NOT FAKE AT ALL. 1) THEY ARE NOT FLAGSHIP (MORE WATTS DONT NECCESARILY MEANS BETTER LIGHT OUT PUT AND BETTER LED BULB) 2) THEY ARE JUST NOT FOR AMERICAN / CANADIAN MARKET, ZEUS IS ALI EXPRESS EXCLUSIVE PRODUCT, U CAN BUY FROM THERE IF U WANT!
