▬ 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.

Our F9 LEDs are back in-stock.
Hello I recently seen car light review video on best LED lights and the diamond vision f9 came on top for brightest led in reflector housings. I’m
Going to get my dad some LEDs for his 2007 dodge ram 1500 because his eyes aren’t doing too good so I want to help him at night. His truck takes h13 which is the dual filament bulb and I’m wondering if your guys’ f9 is still good with the dual style 2 in 1 bulb?
@@rudydaberry122make sure you get a decoder my man. Our trucks are super picky. I had to run it off a switch and can only use my low beams
@@6nzchencho752 yessir. I got a gtr lighting PWM module and it he bulbs work perfectly. Low and high beam no flicker
Is there amazon seller ?
Do you make a d3s bulb
For those worried about melting wires, you shouldn't have any issues. Most factory wires feeding headlights are 16 gauge. A 16 gauge wire is capable of up to 13amps. Amps = watts÷volts. So, even if your battery is almost dead (8-10 volts) you won't be pulling more than 8ish amps.
I would personally still double check that your headlight fuses are rated for that amperage. If you only have one fuse for both headlights, make sure it's at least a 15 and that the wires connected to the headlights, correspond correctly in size for that amperage.
Your only real concern, is the bulb itself shorting out. Which would likely be due to an overheating condition or, a very wet condition, leading to the internal components frying, thus causing a short.
Just don't wire both of these lights to a single side. Keep them separate on driver/passenger like the OEM intended.
My Hyundai Verna Fludic has 10amp fuse and currently has 60w stock bulb in projector headlight.
I want to upgrade to 100w helogen, is it doable in current setup and without using relay
Very impressive results . Impressed with the company responding to peoples concern over the 90w or 79w output. Another great video ! 👍
We have all sizes back in stock, use promo 10DiamondLED
I just subscribed. Been searching for a month for better lighting and brightness and found this channel and placed an order on these and I did not disappoint at all. I’m am extremely happy with the outcome. Super bright on the road. Look no further.
Awesome! Thank you!
Tell you what after trying pretty much every higher end LEDs on a whim decided to try these lights. I'd never heard of the company before and knew nothing about their products. Man was I blown away. I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. Hands down the brightest bulbs I've ever had in my projectors. Perfect beam pattern with no dark spots whatsoever. Just perfect performance all the way around. I've finally found a bulb that meets and exceeds my expectations. With the lights on low beam a person would think they're on high beam which is what I was looking for.
I'm glad to hear that you like them. Can you please post a review for the F9 on Amazon?
@@DiamondVisionLED where can one purchase these in H11? They’re not on Amazon.
@@crs1474 I had 10 H11 come in on Friday last week and within 4 days that were all sold. I have more H11 coming in 1-2 weeks and alot more next month. Just don't buy from the seller listed as "Sellerilla" since it's not from me and will not have a warranty. His customer reviews are also bad at 80% negative, people waiting month and never get delivered.
@@DiamondVisionLEDI’m a little confused on which H11 to purchase. Your store lists an “F9 H11 New” and a “F9 H11 H8 H9 New”
Can you please clarify?
@@joshuacastle8701 They are the same. The "F9 H11, H8, H9" was the original listing but Amazon had it in the wrong product category. So I had to make a new listing of "F9 H11 New". But they are both identical product, the F9 H11.
What would be incredible is if you did a long term review of a range of your favourite headlights and had to measure how they last over months of daily use for 30 minutes a day, and see after 6 months to a year how each bulb holds up? I imagine it won’t cost you anything as you already have the bulbs lying around 😂
Absolutely I second that! I’ve literally purchased enough bulbs in this year alone to just start my own review channel 😂 k5c/f5 bulbs are doing pretty well in my m3. The Luxster punisher have been on my big rig 18wheeler for the last few months in a reflector housing and operating through all hours of the night without a hiccup. And before those I had the Fahren termitor on the trucks low beams and since installing the punisher instead now the trusty old termitors are chillsn as high beams which are also on for 90% of my night commute thru Death Valley highway when it’s just me myself and I and you need all the light you can get 🙂 Hope that gives you some options to consider!
Wowzers, these will be on my shopping list lol. Thanks for the upload. Very exciting stuff.
Glad you like them!
Well, I was aiming for the titanova but these seems so great I just grabbed a pair. Thanks for the review as always.
Which one is better? Titanova of the F9? For more brights if you have tested both
@@Mo-nj4yi He tested both and F9 came on top. Titanova is a good purchase thought.
Thank you for your purchase
Glad I could help
Very impressive results. However I do have concerns with the power consumption and how the stock wiring would handle it. Your observed 80w is significantly higher than 55w that most halogens consume. Maybe Im being paranoid but it might melt the wires or something else because the car is not designed to handle that kind of power. I think a HID type setup with separate wires and relays would be appropriate if running these lights.
Thank you for the comment. For the concerns about the 80W of power and the electrical wiring, I have the F9 bulbs installed on my 2009 Altima and 2005 Camry since August 2022 and haven't had any issues. I've sold about 80 sets of the F9 headlights, and haven't had any customers contact me about there being any electrical issues. The wiring gauge in cars can handle the 80W, as halogen high beams are 65/70W and halogen low beams are 50/60W, but both are the same gauge of wire and 80W would work fine with it.
F9 back in stock in sizes 9005, 9006, H4, H7, H11/H8/H9.
Wow!!! This light is amazing. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you so much!
I have been using the Hikari Future Titanova since your review and have not found anything that has compared. Ordered the F9 to check out.
Let me know plz if the F9 better and more bright than Hikari titannova
@@Mo-nj4yi commenting to know the comparison too
@@Mo-nj4yi me too
Are you guys who are replying to this basically saying that you don’t trust my testing?😜😜
Any update?
I've been using your google sheet but it seems like you only test hot spot lux? It would be more accurate if you also included lux at 15 and 30 degrees so that bulbs with bright hotspots don't appear better.
* Updated *
Thanks a lot for all your review !
I love what you , and how you do it !!
I've buy a set of lasfit LS plus , after studying your test chart , for the high beam on my 2014 Camry , and they are bright AF !
I can't find these f9 for my low beam . Like you said in the video : they are BO .
I'm watching and waiting to get theses back in stock.
Beware : there is ONLY one real seller , and it is : Diamond Vision LED !!!
Thanks again !!! ✌️
Correction...the sellers are fake. They don't actually send ANY product.
The issue is that there is a person using the name "sellerilla" on Amazon trying to sell my F9 H11. But when you look at his customer feedback, all of his reviews say they never get their order delivered or a refund. That's why this video was updated to warn about fake sellers of my product on Amazon. You need to make sure it says Ships and Sold by Diamond Vision LED, not Sellerilla.
@@DiamondVisionLED
Thanks a lot ! I'm watching your product they look awesome !!
@@CarLightReviews sorry , my mistake !
Thanks again !
@@jipinoel5188 Not your fault! I worded it poorly, so I revised it based on your comment. Thank YOU! :)
Are these diamond vision led lights still the brightest you've tested? Or is there a new leader??
Brightness varies based on differet scenarios. Have a look at my data spreadsheet carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and note columns R, T, V and X
The F9 is just Fire 🔥 🔥 🔥
F9 is back in stock as of Oct 1. As of Oct 16 stock is getting low but have alot more coning in 2 weeks.
Where can i purchase these in Canada?
@@Mike-dp7yg As of now when I get my next larger shipment in 2 weeks, it will be sent to the Amazon warehouse and can then be ordered and sent to Canada
A couple ideas for future content:
1) There's a growing demand out there for H4 size LED bulbs.
Very few LED bulb companies get the beam pattern correct, let alone make an improvement over halogen.
It'd be awesome if you also began a separate series for the H4 market.
2) Speaking of H4, cheap Chinese bi-LED H4 projectors are becoming more and more popular. Seeing how some reflectors in this size (even with OEM halogen) have a horrendous output and spread, I tend to point my customers towards the mini H4 projector route. However, nobody (to my knowledge) does thorough testing with those to determine which ones are quality so I suggest you start a series on them.
H11 is a very popular bulb size. No one cares about your H4. And, why would Jason spend more money on different bulbs of the same type from the same manufacturer to satisfy a few??? You can always buy and shipp bulbs you want to be tested to Jason, but you're not going to do it. And it seems that you can only afford"cheep" led / bi-led projectors, and you're not going to buy F9 or N60 anyway.

Can you check out the Hid to Led conversion kits that are out there? Also, if you could compare both low and high beam om these tests it would help alot😊 bought the Termitor bulbs for my high beams after seeing your video 'bout them and they were quite disappointing..😅
IMPORTANT!!! THERE IS A FAKE SELLER ON AMAZON USING THE NAME "sellerilla". HE IS TRYING TO GET ORDERS USING MY F9 H11 LISTING. THIS PERSON IS A SCAM, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. MAKE SURE WHEN YOU ORDER IT SAYS "SHIPPED AND SOLD BY DIAMOND VISION LED"
We have all sizes back in stock, use promo 10DiamondLED
For those who are inquiring about the H11 size they are in stock on Amazon. I ordered my set last week and received them they are indeed the brightest led I tested and are brighter than the Titanova
I now have some H11 in stock, it's listed under the size "F9 H11 H8 H9 New" and says "Shiped and sold by Diamond Vision LED"
Can't wait to get mine
Let me know what you think of it when you get it installed.
Hey, test "K7C" from "Dawn Night". It's an upgraded version of "K5C" and it's supposed to be brighter than the "F9".
I’ve been starting to get a lot of suggestions from people asking me to test certain brands and models of lights but not because they are interested in that, because they are representing the brand and want a free review. Can you tell me why I should test those? Let me know Why they stand out amongst the other lights out there.
@@CarLightReviews Well, those models (F3, F5, F7, F9) are direct competitors of (K3C, K4C, K5C, K7C). You can find them on AliE.... The K7C has a thermal sensor directly located near the LED diode and 3 heat pipes. As a result, it claims to be more powerful, cooler, and much more durable than the F9. I'm just a Brazilian customer and have nothing to do with either brand, but it would be really nice to see them compared side by side.
@@brustan VERY much appreciated! I'll check into them!
Hi, I don't think that the K7C it's supposed to be brighter than F9.
When 'EduCar' tested the older generation, F7 (130W) got 7300 lux and K5C (110W) got 7000 lux, same conditions (reflector from a Vw Polo Mk6)
F9 is 180W and K7C is 150W, so F9 i'ts supposed to be brighter
I tried and compared these to the Titanova and the F9 are indeed brighter by margin my only concern is continuous running of high wattage.
I've had the F9 in my two cars since August 2022 for daily testing/longevity and they are working just fine.
@@DiamondVisionLED which one is better among the 3? Termitor , Titanova or F9.
@@DiamondVisionLED does the f9 have greater throw than the titanova?
@@Undisputed_King I have not personally tested that other product. But I have been using the F9 on my Altima and Camry since August 2022 and get a wide beam with good distance. I haven't had any returns where someone says it doesn't go far enough. Actually people say the opposite that they get much farther distance with the F9.
Can I put these in my fogs ?
Yes, what size bulb does your fogs use?
That's just amazing output!
I like the testing you're doing with LEDs and don't really see much in-depth testing with HIDs elsewhere, even though HID is an older lighting technology. I think it'd be pretty cool if there was a way (if time permits) you'd put HID retrofit kits in the same rigorous testing and then compare back to LEDs and halogens.
Thanks! Yes, I do plan to test HIDs in the near future.
@avang83 I'm assuming you need D2S's? I haven't heard of anything better than the Osram Cool Blue Intense Next Gen's in the last 3 or so years. Some may get a bit more lux but don't last as long. You can buy something like the DDM Tuning Ultra's but see how long they last. They're a bit brighter (the 5500k's were the last one's I used but the 6500k's looked real nice but didn't reach out as far as I wanted) but about a third the price though But you may change them more often. If more frequent changes don't bother you, try the DDM Tuning Ultra's out. The light that burns brightest burns fastest! Other than those two, I would not recommend any of the others for price/performance ratio, except for the pair of DMEX's I keep in a drawer for when the Osram's go out. They are a little yellow for my taste, throw less and aren't as bright , but only $20 for the pair and can last the two days until Amazon gets me another pair of Osram's.
For these some of the particular monster led light bulbs. I personally would recommend them, on projector because it’s got the very good beam pattern. Not on the reflectors. U can. But very and very cautious about it.
These lights are becoming more insanely brighter than ever. I love it.
They're actually even better on reflectors annoyingly because I have projectors and they look half as bright.
@@Undisputed_King how’s the sharp beam pattern on the reflectors?
@@toyotabrony it's not that bad. The line's just slightly blurred but it's pretty much a flat cut-off.
@@Undisputed_King that’s good to hear. As long as u aim correctly, especially with reflectors can be a bit tricky to get them perfect. It’s fine
Imagine these lights put in a clear lens projector, not the oem ones that come with the car and are usually made for halogen lights...

waiting for your Novsight N60 review.
i cant wait to compare this with it as that's what ive been using for a while.
You can see all of the details of the Novsight N60 here: ruclips.net/video/3orj2-vp2B8/видео.html
Sounds like a nice bulb i dont see a 9005 version
They are back in stock
this item is ok For a Maserati M139
Once again another awesome video. Very informative, clear, and helpful. Thanks for sharing, I will for sure check them out. More power to you and your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
This f9 housing and driver look very close to the Novisight n60. The driver has the same pattern and qc label if I remember correctly
Good catch. I just looked, and you're correct. They are identical. 😆 Thank you for saving me $44. I am finally going to upgrade fogs to LEDs. I just ordered from Amazon Novsight N60 H11 for $66 (after 20% off) + tax. 🙇♂️
They might not be exactly the same, I do have the N60 and my initial test results do have some slight variations. Also, I think the chip is different. More to come…
@@CarLightReviews Hi Jason. Can you tell me if I made a right choice by ordering N60 @ $66...like price to performance vs F9, if you think they are different?
When I release the N60 video in a couple of weeks, you can decide for yourself based on my test results. 😃
After doing some more searching, I found out that FATEEYE F9S-H11 is also the same LED. I'm waiting for N60 test, but as Jason already hinted, F9 and N60 going to have about the same lux numbers. So, IMHO, DIAMOND VISION F9, FATEEYE F9S, NOVSIGHT N60 are the same LEDs with a slight design variation made by the same manufacturer, in the same factory with the same components but different branding.
Another awesome review - Thanks !
This bulbs seem are a really good deal for this kind of brightness and quality.
Thanks for watching!
higher output than ddm 65w? thanks
I would like to buy a set of these for my 2018 ram 1500 but am having a hard time figuring out which ones to buy. Anyone help? Tia! I want high beam and low beam bulbs
Remove your existing bulbs and look at the size designation stamped on it or check your owner manual to see what size you need.
You can contact us directly for help with the bulb sizes.
This vs the Hikari Titanova 2023?
Take a look at the headlight specifications spreadsheet that I link to in the description and tell me what you think!
it is safe for replacement h16 19w halogen? the foglamp reflector plastic base
What do you mean by "safe"?
The F9 H11 size will fit in H16. But the power draw in 80W, so you would need to check to make sure the wire gauge for the fogs are the same thickness as used with the low and high beams.
How come you haven't reviewed the ddm tuning saber pro 65w? According to bulb facts it is the brightest they test leds just like you do.
Because not many have asked me to.😁
Question...what if my test results are different?
Great video new subscriber I’m glad I ran into this video
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello love the videos! Everytime I get a new project car I come check with your channel on updates to see what’s the best bang for my buck and I appreciate the honest reviews! In my own testing light output per dollar has been the Fahren termitors but these F9 in this video are hefty looking strong bulbs!
However, it ain’t that simple for my other automobile since the headlight hosing built spacing is very tight and limits my options when bulb shopping. The current h1 Fahren branded bulbs seem to be the only ones I’ve found that fit without complications or modifications to the very expensive and hard to replace dust covers so I’ve been having to deal with them self destructing about once every year or so. They are an H1 bulb type and it’s one of the most difficult bulbs to spruce in a compact configuration.
I’m not sure how to use your spreadsheet of all the current lights you have tested. Are they ranked from 1 thru 35 in ascending order as they get stronger ? Or is it just set random or based on dates of testing ?
While I have read DV's comments that a 55 watt stock halogen would be able to tolerate the higher wattage on their F9 H11, I don't understand why the manufacturer, in my case a 2015 Lexus RX350, prints 55w for the halogen OEM H11 and 60w for the OEM halogen 9005 light. Can you explain why these lights with higher power outputs won't cause problems for the car when the manufacturer recommends these lower wattages? Thanks
The manufacturer (Toyota/Lexus) using stock halogen bulbs is rated at 50-55W for low beams and 60-65W for high beams. That's why the manual has those specs listed. But LED headlights that have been using over 50-60W have been around the past couple of years. The F9 using 80W will work as it's still using the same 12-13V and low Amps, as the car's wire gauge is capable of handling the wattage. It been 8 months in my two cars, and all the units that have sold, and haven't had any issues with them overheating.
Would love to see these head-to-head with a pair of Novsight N60's, which they claim to be 100W per bulb. If you get a chance to review those and the N60's turn out to be inferior, then I will be happy to snag myself a pair of F9's for sure.
From what I've seen about the N60, they would be about the same brightness as my F9. But there is no way they are running at 100W
wattage is just heat.. lumen and lux is everything.
You can see all of the details of the Novsight N60 here: ruclips.net/video/3orj2-vp2B8/видео.html
@@CarLightReviews Dude, this was fantastic. Thank You!
Do you prefer these over Hikari 2023 Titanovas?
Anyone can tell us?
I personally didn’t like the titannova. However I had them in a dual beam h13 so it’s a little bit different
@carlightreviews YOU ARE AWESOME MY GUY I SEE YOU COMING UP THIS YEAR AS THE MAIN LED HEADLIGHT RUclips CHANNEL. making everyone's life easier on their next led upgrade thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for the compliment! I am just trying to separate the marketing from the facts!
Love your reviews. They are extremely helpful when choosing led upgrades. Have you ever tested Drl type leds such as 9005 HB3 and how they work in drl mode? I haven't found any on RUclips. Anyway, great videos.
I am told the by Diamond Vision that the 9005's will cause flicker so your DRL's need to be turned off. Your DRL's don't draw enough power hence the flicker. I believe the H9's require 9 volts and DRL's only draw 6.
Hi you have any Diamond Vision F9 to sell or the N60 that you used for testing?
Only new ones for sale, see link in the description.
They should make a water-cooled version of these & a 2700/3000k version also!! Great video
Neat idea. I think there is a reason why companies don't make a water-cooled version, otherwise I am sure they would. As far as the yellow output, some companies like DDM and GTR do make them. I wish there were more! Maybe Diamond Vision can make it happen?
@@CarLightReviews We did have dual color LED headlights a few years ago that had one set of yellow 3000K LED chips and a row of white 6200K chips. You changed between the color by turning the lights on/off/on within 5 seconds. It worked good as fog lights, but not really bright enough for low beams.

I have sold over 400 sets of F9 since last year, and no one has said "they aren't bright enough". All the customer reviews say they are the brightest they've used.
Man I just bought Auxbeam GX for HB3 and this guy is making me regret my purchase 😭
Do you know any brand that sells ridiculous strong LED for H1? I have Auxbeam F16 Plus which is alright but something strong would be nice.
Ive toyota avalion 2013 , there is not a dust cover for the bulb , does the fan allow for dust to enter the headlight housing.
Not if it is the correct replacement size and it is sealed correctly. Plus, the fan spins in a way to draw heat way from the LED light, not toward it.
Thank you@@CarLightReviews
Your bulb size is 9005. The bulbs have a rubber O-Ring that seals when they are installed. A family member has a Camry that uses the same bulb size and the headlamp assembly isn't made with dustcaps on the back.
Would it be possible to get a test on dual beam bulbs that have the high and low in one bulb? I have h13’s and I feel like the bulbs that I try after watching your videos have a bit different performance. I know it varies from different housings and such but I feel like there might be some differences between the performance of a single beam and dual beam bulb. For example between the bulbs I've tired some use one led chip for low and the other chip for high beam. Other led bulbs use one chip for low and both chips at once for high. It makes the spread really wide when they use both at once.
It is missing something from DDM Tuning
What do you mean?
@@CarLightReviews I hadn't seen that you had reviewed DDM tuning on another channel. Still, there are more recent models from that brand that I think are worth checking out and seeing if they can dethrone Hikari Future.
Hello, I recently purchased LED H11 from Bevinse LED H11 for the leflektoren of my Nissan X Trail. Have watched all your videos and see that you have not rated them well. I want the strongest light and I saw that you rated the best daimond vision f9. But I only find f9 from other brands... Are they just as good? Greetings Jacek
My Diamond Vision LED F9 is only on my Shopify site. The ones on Amazon are not genuine and from Chinese sellers.
Are these available for the 2024 Toyota 4Runner?
The 2024 4Runner has built in LED headlight assembly, not bulbs that are replaceable.
Hello! I have a question: is there a possibility of a comparative test where you take outdoor shots of the LED bulbs at night when they are installed in the same car? Thsnk You!
Please check out my RUclips channel, where you can see night driving video using the F9 bulbs.
@@DiamondVisionLEDHi! Why can't you get the F9 bulbs? It is always out of stock on amazon. Not a mass-produced product?
They are currently made in small batches. I mentioned this in the video. Have another look!
@@peterr6761 They are made in batches of several dozen and then I get them in for sale, but they go fast. I'm constantly having more made, I have two more shipments coming over the next few weeks.
Could you please test the Nilight H4/9003 LED headlight? I would be very grateful and very interested in seeing a real good review done on these.
Thanks for a thorough review once again, Jason!
It sure does look like it packs quite the punch, never seen an LED bulb with that much power.
Something I noticed is that the chip size on these seems to be two to three times larger than that of a halogen filament which would directly affect hotspot width and overall beam distribution, especially in reflector applications.
Lastly, I've definitely seen the exact same style bulbs made in China, as the early versions of the "F" series from Diamond Vision.
Yeah exactly. This LED bulb uses a huge 7545 chip. Meaning it is 4,5mm wide and 7,5mm tall. Halogen filament is around 1mm wide and 3mm tall. With math we can calculate that the surface area of LED is over 11x times more. Which is really REALLY bad.

The P19 is an older model the F9 is newer and fixes a few of the heat issues.
Amazing reviews, convinced me to purchase the Lasfit LS plus for my taco. Would you be able to review the Lasfit Pro series in the future?
Yes, Lasfit Pro is next! :)
Well brith but that think is a grill..🔥 hot…!!!
Has to see long time life.
I’ve read this 10 times, and I’m still not sure what you’re trying to say.😊😊
@@CarLightReviewsAnd that's after he graduated USA high school. Imagine if he was a dropout, you would not understand even reading 20 times. 😂
What is the brightest d3s led bulb? This company doesn’t sell my model bulb
Great videos as always!! Keep up the good work!!!!! Thought of a cool idea that you could use for your videos. On all the LED bulbs that you test the manufacturer claims whatever the color temperature of the bulb is. Example. 6000K or 6500K. It would be neat if you could test that and see if the claimed Kelvin
spec is close .I know they make light meter apps that you could even use on your phone to test and see if it’s comparable to what the manufacture claims.
Thank you for the suggestion. It has been a frequent comment, and I can tell you that I’m definitely working on it!
Do a driving video in rain
I have a driving video at night from last year, but it's not in the rain.
Would it be possible for you to lock the camera exposure for the halogen light and use the same exposure for the LED light, I know due to the brightness of the LED it will get over exposed, but it will give buyers an idea of how bright the bulb is compared to the halogen to which it is being compared to.
I use the same exposure for both the baseline halogen as well as the light being tested.
Will these fit in my 2nd gen 2011 tacoma? I need some lights that are bright and durable I have a 1 hour drive to work at 5am in the morning lol also where do I buy them???
Possibly. What size do you have? You can easily tell from your owner manual, or just by pulling out the bulb that is in place now and looking at the designation on it. If you have dust caps, you need to make sure that you have room for the fan in them.
@@CarLightReviews I'll have to go look an see!!
Yes. It uses bulb size H4 dual beam.
I can't find the H1this light bulb anywhere, is there a solution with an adapter?
Hello, the F9 bulb can't be made in size H1 due to its larger side and wattage.
@@DiamondVisionLED but almost all projectors for retrofitting are H1, I can use the H7 connector from the reflector earlier but the housing for the projector is H1, can any adapter
@@markodraskovic4133 if the new projector housing is H1, then you have to use an H1 bulb to be able to fit in that projector housing. The only type of adapter are plug adapters that can convert a cars electrical plug (such as H7, H11, etc) to put a different type of bulb plug.
Hello!
May I ask when the Novsight N60 test is expected? I have a coupon that I can use to buy it cheap, but it expires in a week. And without your test, I wouldn't buy the bulbs anymore. :) Thanks!
Soon, but not as soon as your coupon will expire. Please email info@carlightreviews.com and I'll explain more.
IT was all sounding good except when you remember that your vehicle stock halogen lamps wiring system can handle 55-60 watts of continuous power to each bulb and not 79-90 watts each like this LED "Upgrade" will and thus you can cause your stock wiring to overheat and burn or short out and cause more problems, especially on "American" or Korean brand vehicles due to the poor conductors used on the wiring harness and thus you can end up causing more problems with your vehicle than you would like such as a shorted Engine Control Module. Consult a local auto electrician or mechanic before using these LED's or just simply look for ones that are closer to 60Watts output per bulb.
Thank you for the comment. For the concerns about the 80W of power and the electrical wiring, I have the F9 bulbs installed on my 2009 Altima and 2005 Camry since August 2022 and haven't had any issues. I've sold about 80 sets of the F9 headlights, and haven't had any customers contact me about there being any electrical issues. The wiring gauge in cars can handle the 80W, as halogen high beams are 65/70W and halogen low beams are 50/60W, but both are the same gauge of wire and 80W would work fine with it.
Not a big deal at all. You can install them using a relay with 12 AWG PURE COPPER wire and use factory 12v as a trigger for LEDs to come on/off.
@@DiamondVisionLED how long does shipping usually take? I ordered a set a couple days after this video came out and delivery says mid March?
nah. wire guages and fuses are care fully put to handle its specified load. as long as your stock wires are specified to be capable of handling such load, there wont be any problem. when things go wrong due to much heat, the fuses would most likely break first before any flame ignites. unless there are loose wires in contact with other parts of the car
@@Resist_JWO_1984 so on the relay switch all I would need is to run the switch part of the relay to my light switch ? I have a h13 and would like to use my factory knob and high beams also which is by the steering wheel
I asked for you to try the 2023 termitor on your review video. I have recieved mine yesterday and installed with sealight on drivers and termitor on passenger. Previously I had fahren forscher and sealight and sealight and halogen.. the sealight just barely beat halogen and lost to forscher barely due to forscher high beam a bit better visibility and a tiny bit brighter in hot spot areas. The sealight had much more flood coverage though so they may actually win for now.
The 2023 termitor are noticeably less bright when immediate use and over time they are just barely more bright despite being almost 3x the price... and they have the worst flood coverage.
Also driving comparing to other people driving new vehiclee and even much older vehicles with upgraded lights... none of the three I've tried yet are even remotely close in brightness to many
I’m trying to follow you on this one. So what you are saying is that LED headlight upgrades do not work well for your vehicle? No matter what brand or model?
@Car Light Reviews 2013 reflector nissan quest.... the level of brightness of the sealight is a tiny bit more than factory halogen but it has much wider flood area. It lights up close to car where the fog lights would normally and out. The fahren forscher are a little bit noticeably higher Kelvin (this is NOT a good thing) the fahren are a tiny bit longer throw than the sealight but they have much less flood coverage.
The fahren termitor 2023 are not noticeably better at all.
And when I drive next to a early 2000 Honda with factory lights with replacement bulbs the amount of light they generate in comparison is like I basically have nothing..
When they are behind and passing me aii I see is my shadow with their light flooding everywhere.
Same with other old vehicles and same with newer land rovers and audio and many others with presumably their factory led and hid lights with projectors.... the amount of light they are generating is like their low beams are my high beams.
I've also tried in a hyundai elantra and a lincoln town car various equivalent models.
I don't understand why they can be so bad. I don't particularly want to spend a lot more for the highest rated lights and as the termitor is not quite so expensive yet tests exceptionally high.... tried that and it's just disgusting at least low beam how not exceptional it is.
Here is the Termitor 2023 review and lux test: ruclips.net/video/2LJcU2hwPz8/видео.html. Do my results align with your experiences? Sounds like they might....
Thank you for this review. When I compare the projector result with the Hikari Titanova I found that the dead zone is just way too big for my liking and personally I still prefer 6000K over 6500K bulbs.
Hello, the color temp is closer to 6200K after being on for 15 min.
Hey George. Glad to see more people becoming aware of the dead zone most led bulbs have. The beam patterns look good on a wall but once out on the road one sees very good side illumination but not good throw usually. Some projectors are worse/better than others. Finding one that works for your application is the tricky part. Coincidentally, for me, I found the LED with the chipset closer in dimensions to the halogen filament produced the best down the road illumination. I think chip placement is important too, the closer to the halogen location the better the patter, the further from the base the wider the beam but less sharp. It’s trial and error unfortunately.
@@DiamondVisionLED where could we get the bulbs amazon sold out
Can you test a high performance halogen bulb to compare it with the leds? The initial brightness will be lower than any led, but will be interesting to see how they compare after the leds heat up.
I think we talked about that a while back, I need to revisit the list I had of halogens to test. Thanks for the reminder!
@@CarLightReviews yes, we talked a while ago.
Can you please do a video on the torch beam 130 W 33,000 lm LED headlights
Any Canadian seller for these leds?
I doubt it. Sam runs a small company out of Florida. I will be buying a set while I am here in Florida and taking them back to Canada. Prob only way to get them...
The best 1️⃣
Thanks!
Wish led headlight makers would figure out that 6500k is ridiculously stupid... it has much, much worse visibility for the driver than 5-5.5k and it's more blinding to opposing traffic
I think they are selling what people think they want. People think whiter (or unfortunately, bluer) means brighter and better. Put a 6500k LED light next to a 5,000k LED light at the same price and without even mentioning the color temperature and I'll bet the 6500k version sells first 9 times out of 10 based on the image of the color alone. So if they only made halogen colors, people wouldn't buy them.
Some companies, do though. Like DDM tuning I know does, I think there are a couple more but very few.
I hope these led headlight bulb companies start to offer warmer colors in the future . 5500, 5000 , 4500 and 4000 k color temps would be great. Those Milwaukee trueview 4000k color temp lights are amazing . All these bulbs are nice in brightness and light control but are too tuner boy blue lights .
I think DDM and GTR still do but not many other companies offer them. I speculate the reason is because people mistakenly think that whiter = brighter = better and the warmer color lights don't sell well.
"2SNGL 9003 H4 LED Headlight Bulbs" have you seen these?

I love the Diamond Vision F9 I live in the U.K. and want to know where I can purchase them fitting is an H7 can you advise please
Thanks

Send me a message via Facebook messenger. It would have to ship from the US to the UK
Hello have you tried the k13 LED?
Availability for this seems rather poor. Any chance to test what we have available in Europe, like Osram or Philips and how they compare to these amazing led's you have tested so far.
As mentioned in the video, these are made in small batches and quickly sell out. I'd like to test the lights that you have available, but if they are not available to me...I can't. 😃
What are your thoughts on the new alpharex panoramic led bulb?
Good question...hard to say. I know that the cheap 4-sided versions are absolutely terrible for light pattern, to the point of being extremely dangerous to use. That design is indeed unique, but I question the claims. I see no way the light projects backward from the emitter into the reflector correctly. I'll look into testing them. Thanks for the reminder.
Did u ever test vled mirco. Extremes.
Would appreciate a review on Diamond Vision's FX5 bulbs, too.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'd have to check the availability of the FX5. Just curious...why do you prefer the FX% over the F9?
@@CarLightReviewsI don't know how well these would cool in sealed 4runner headlights.
@@hydroaegis6658 How do your OEM headlight bulbs manage temperature?
@@CarLightReviewsThey're incanddscent halogens so they ok with heat. I'm concerned if led and drivers can stand the same temps.
@@hydroaegis6658 Halogens get to over 700 degrees f in about a minute. Most LED lights and drivers top out at 1/3 to 1/2 of that temperature.
hi 😊 are you planning to test leds from nhk? they supposedly have perfect light dispersion and are very strong
I think they have been suggested once or twice in the past, but I am not very familiar with them. Which model do you suggest that I test?
@@CarLightReviews I have a h7 nhk in my car in high beam (without a lens) and despite the fact that many people wrote that they have perfect light dispersion, I can see dark places. h7 h8 h9 are probably the same LEDs, only the connection is different. I'm most interested in the power of these LEDs compared to others that you tested :) because I'm thinking about replacing Xenon with one of the LEDs you tested with as many lux as possible or nhk
I purchased the F9 through Amazon H11 and even thought your tests show that it is brighter that the Hikari, I did not find that to be the case. The Hikari was brighter and it was obvious to the naked eye. Maybe they gave you an upgraded version. I also think they are made in China since nowhere on the packaging does it indicate that it was produced in the US. Please comment.
Love your reviews however.
I received the same units everyone else does. It might be overpowering your light housing, and possibly scattering a bit. How is the light output accuracy?
Yes, they are made in China. There are no LED headlight upgrades made in the US, except for the Diode Dynamics SL1...which are only _assembled_ in the US.
@@CarLightReviews Thank you for your reply. The light output on my vehicle is good, I trust your reviews and will definitely continue following you. I just think the Hakaris are brighter. Thanks again.
Can I purchase these lights for my 2011 C6? Or another good led option for that car?
C6 Corvette? I wouldn't just yet...you have HIDs and it is unknown (at least to me) if LEDs are a good upgrade to factory HID bulbs and system. HOWEVER... you might want to see these videos...

Hello, my question is when you make this test 5560lux is it with one car reflector headlight turn on or this is with both car reflector headlight turn on. :)
One. See this: carlightreviews.com/headlighttestmethod
which one is better among the 3? Farhen Termitor, Hikari Titanova or F9?
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:
ruclips.net/video/YMxLhQtwB7I/видео.html
@@CarLightReviews I have a jeep cherokee kk. I want to know which of the 3 suits me between the best brightness in distance and price.
I have bought many LEDs and for this type of headlight it is not easy to find a light that cuts light well. I want to make the best decision with your advice. Blessings👍
@@LuisPena-hg9qg Tough call between the 3 but I think the Termitor would be your best choice considering that price is a factor.
How hot does halogen bulb lets say h11 run?
Well over 700 degrees f in about 2 minutes. ruclips.net/user/shortsH8VP762ApdA
I need h11 and though it might be the brightest, what good is it if you can't order it or purchase it. If you know how I can buy it please let me know.
