I was really confused with regard to LED lighting until I started watching your reviews. I find them informative and useful. Based on your review of the Termitor, I decided to try them out on our '07 Mustang GT. I was not disappointed! They surpassed my expectations, and I wouldn't even have known about this brand if not for your video! Thank you so much!
Just received my hi/low h11,9005 kit from the link you have posted even saved some coin. Out all lights you reviewed and tested these fit my needs and budget the best. I will say these lights perform really well for the cost! Thanks for the help. Keep the content coming 💯👍🏽
I've been waiting for this review since I got my forscher and you didn't disappoint. The price/performance on the termitor is impressive. I mostly drive in the city now and I think these might be overkill in my reflectors haha. I'm still happy with my current Fahren lights.
Thanks man your videos are helpful to many! I’ve been purchasing fahren led bulbs going on 4 years now and I’m very pleased that you’ve gained enough interest in the brand and have begun doing product testing. The forscher I’ve used on many cars but today I was debating between the kregies and termitor. I have the termitors installed on my big rig currently and I needed another pair of bulbs but wasn’t sure which of the two would be better between the kregies and termitor. Hoping you’ll cover that by the end of the video 😊
Just brought a set of these to replace the 9006 halogen for my brights in a reflector . Holly hell they are so much brighter, it was like I added a light bar to the front. This video just confirms I brought the right ones, well worth the money. Thanks for another great review
Dude I bought these and replaced some Beamtech LEDs and it was night and day difference. I've had a lot of different brands and these are by far the brightest. The beam is sharp too. Very happy
Thank you so much for these reviews. As always lots of information and great results. Do you ever test 7443 LED bulbs? Thanks again, have a wonderful day.
Hey Jason, great content like always. As promised this is an update to let you know that Headlight Revolution is doing a 20% off sale sitewide for Black Friday (they may also do one around Christmas). I'd love to see the SV-4 (and its clones) performance, particularly beam distribution in the reflector.
Watched all of your vids and still waiting for the zeus review. Hehe May i suggest you include in your video, photos of initial light output vs after 27mins so we can visualize how much dimmer led bulbs after the 27 minute average commute time. Just find the right exposure time (closest to what the human eye could see in real life). That would be awesome.
Iam buy this Terminor 9005 in march 2022 and Stell working good and super bright…. The only problem I’m have is the Allen bolt it’s like came from factory with lock tied because I can’t lose those bolts to adjust the angle. Don’t now if was just mine but I’m claim Fahren and they respond very nice and send me a refound… this guys it’s real behind there products.
Yeah those are good. I used to have those but then totaled the vehicle, Goethe upgrade I went with the apollos. These are great though and was never sure which one was brighter
Got a set of these.. they are amazing in a 2013 dodge journey. Farhen had a deal on 2 - 9005 and 2 - 9006 in one package. had to use the can bus adapter for the high beams.
Thank you @Carlightreviews for your amazing dedication on your videos! I bought the fahren termitor H4 bulbs for my Hyundai Cantus SUV and they are amazing on the low beams but for the high beams not so much, as they keep the low beam led chips turned on while running the high beams and they seem to split the power. Do you have direct communication with the manufacturer? Could you ask them if there is any way i can make the low and high beams work independently? Thank you! 🙌🏻
Hopefully you can help me with a problem I am having with these headlights. By the way, this video is SPOT ON!!! I love the brightness of these headlights. My issue is my high and low bean are the operate at the same lighting level. Fahren has said these lamps a a dual level light and have sent me a replacement set which are doing the same thing. Could it be that this how these light operate meaning the the lights will operate in high or low beam but not at different lighting brightness? I read that some times a decoder is needed for LED conversions trouble issues. If this is true, can you recommend a manufacture and model number that would work for my 2015Ford Flex SEL?
These are the bulbs I ended up going with for my semi! And the 74% after 27 min explains a lot. I always feel like they are unusually dim out of nowhere but still so much better than halogen it isnt even funny. But it is definitely noticeable. Great review as always!
Thanks for the feedback, Kyle! It does dim quite a bit...not as bad as others, but also not as good as others. The way I say it is "It is not BAD...but not GREAT..." Do you have reflector or projectors in your rig?
@@CarLightReviews I too drive a semi truck and I bought the fahren forscher years ago with good result. It was a 2020 international LT. It has one of the best if not the best reflector headlights of all time. I've never seen reflector headlights with as sharp of a cutoff and good beam pattern that could easily compete against high end projector headlights. Unfortunately the rear housing where the fan would be is completely exposed to the elements. The tires would kick up dirty water into the fan destroying it but the light still worked.

Thanks for your review help I both a set of these led for my 2014 Toyota sinna I am having a problem with the low beam its not coming on when I flip the switch I have to flip the switch two or three times and it would cut off at times when I am driving
Appreciate your videos. What would you suggest for these two housings as far as best bang for the buck and getting light down the road? Acura RSX reflector housing (H1) and Lexus sc300 projector housing (9005).
Can't wait for the auxito Y-19 review since I picked those instead of these to give them a try (also the Y-19 where cheaper when got them for around 60$)
I just bought these for my little itty bitty fog lights on my lexus es350. Ive gone through several different leds. But these termitors are ridiculous. Its almost as bright as headlights lol. Thankfully my fog light design is good and theres no light bleed to blind oncoming traffic. But wow i am impressed by these leds. Its insane.
Great all of your videos! 🙌🏻 I have an issue with these lights on my 2020 Ford F150. The low beam on the right side won’t stay on for more than 3 seconds after starting the vehicle. I have used NOVSIGHTS, NINEO II, etc.. and they were working without any issues. Any help on this matter it’s much appreciated 🙏🏻 (going crazy here). Thanks in advance
I got my termitor from amazon. Is there a limit on brightness a reflector can handle? It seems not a lot brighter than my auxito h11. Lol. Using it right now though.
Hello Guys! I have a 2014 Ford Edge with halogens bulbs. I al ready have some LRTER led, and really does a decent job. But, what led do you recommend to this special vehicle? I just want to be able to see perfectly at night but there's a lot of different options out there. So, Wich want do you recommend? (In a project lent) Thanks a lot
hello. first off thank you for your great videos and attention to detail. my sons 2012 tacoma NEEDS new bulbs. I would love some recommendations. I'm leaning to these. Thank you - DAD
Unfortunately, I can't suggest a recommendation for specific vehicles as I can't test them all, I am sorry to say. That's why I can offer a baseline reference. However, I do suggest that you review my headlight data spreadsheet here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and use that data to guide your decision. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your needs!
Wow. I've been waiting for this. I have reflector housing and currently run the Krieges. The out put is crazy high. Retained light over time is still almost 600 lux higher then the Krieges. Is 600 lux that much more noticable?
Considering that 600 lux is 2/3's of what the halogen bulb is, I would think that it is a noticeable difference. It all depends on your personal sensitivity to light intensity but on paper, is is significant.
How I find that there are two different versions of the fahren Kriegers. I see that one has a wire coming out of it while the other looks like a cube with an outlet?
You have to define what is most important in an LED lighting upgrade. Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. That should help!
Hello I just got my termitor led lights today will be putting them in tomorrow in my 2002 Ford ranger truck.thank you for your info on them.i will let you know how they work out for me.
I do! In every video I mention the published wattage and the observed wattage from my power supply, and I note the difference in my headlight data chart: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs
I bought this leds, but it's fail went I star the engine, I tried another diferent brand and works perfectly, so.. that meaning fahren it's not good for my car... any advice?
I had a set of these in my f150 lowbeam housing they worked when i stalled for about 10mins but after that they over heated and stopped working all together.. idk if it was a bad set due to i have a set in my highbeams and they seem to work ok for now... Id like to get a set again for my fog lights as they are not fully enclosed so should stay alot cooler...great videos by the way ...really enjoyed aswell as get info\ review
Check out the Denpers 120w. I had it and seems very bright, noticeably brighter than the 2023 Termitor which I’ll be returning. On my application it didn’t work as well due to the hotspot being too low, it washed out the downroad light. So far the Auxito Y13 is the best for my application, Fusion.
@@CarLightReviews awesome! I watched it and was surprised on the output. The pattern is what I expected seeing as how it had a similar pattern on mine. Awesome review!
@@jjohnson6853 I wouldn’t do the 2023 Termitor. I currently run the Bevinsee V45, very nice spread but I’ve been tempted to run the Luxster Punisher based on the video review here. Only thing is they are not Prime eligible on Amazon. I’d say the bevinsee V45 are good all around. My fusion might have different projectors than yours. Since I think it’s harder to get into the housing on your model year I’d just go with the Luxster.
I've had the Forscher ones in my 2017 Chevy Cruze which has a projector headlight housing. I upgraded to the Ursprung ones and wasn't so impressed with the brightness between the 2. Do you think it's worth getting the termitor ones and would they be noticeably brighter? Again I have protector headlight housings. Thanks, great video!!
Compare the specs of this light to the specs of the Forscher (ruclips.net/video/aKpKBcXi470/видео.html) by using my headlight test data spreadsheet: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs. That will tell you everything you need to know!
@@CarLightReviews Thank you, just placed an order for Hikari Titanova based on your recommendation , will see how it goes on my 208’s projectors. I fitted Philips ultinon essentials but doesn’t quite cut it for me.
@@CarLightReviews wow wasn’t expecting that results either on the Bevinsee’s… thanks for that review man, it will be really helpful to others as this video was to me.
@Car Light Reviews, which LED bulbs would you recommend for 55W H7 Bulbs? The ones in the video are 65W, and the don't work on my truck (turn on and back off after a second)
I am just one guy, so I can only test in in one size, which is H11. However, typically the specs are the same across all sizes for each model of bulb, so you can use my suggestions in ruclips.net/video/YMxLhQtwB7I/видео.html as well as the data in my spreadsheet in carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs.
@@khalidalrawi8717 Tough call, as they are both extremely similar in light output performance. However the Auxbeam has a 2 year warranty where the Termitor has a 1 year warranty. However the Auxbeam is more expensive but it does have better projector output.
Hard to say as I haven't tested them. In theory, I think that the full headlight assemblies would typically do better, depending on the design and quality. I only say that because technically, you are using a light that the housing wasn't explicitly designed for. In a sense, hacking your headlights in a basic way. However, the full headlight assemblies can be assumed to be designed to be effective as-is...so again in theory, it would do better. However, it all depends. I had some inexpensive replacement headlights I bought and my initial testing showed they did not do very well at all compared to the factory housings. How more expensive ones do better, from what I understand, but at that point...you are spending hundreds of dollars vs around $100 for LED bulb replacements.
Need help please. I just now installed these on my 2019 F150. I added a canbus decoder. I actually got everything to fit in the housing. The only problem is, the fan is right up against the side of the housing, and the dust cover will not go back on. Which millimeter do you prefer that would allow me to still use these? The fan is just not centered in the opening…. Thank you!!
First, don't drive without dust caps (no matter what other people tell you) unless you want to replace your entire housings in the future because there's so much crap inside of them. Second, I wish I could help you but I am not familiar with your vehicle headlight design. I'd post pics on your favorite forum or social media group for your specific vehicle.
i have a 2014 jeep cherokee and i install this light they only work with the jeep turn off and went i turn them on lights goes away and the hight doesnt turn on dont know whats going on had to change it back to normal light
You may need a canbus decoder. In these situations, I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
I have question for you When I looking online H4 bulb it's way different then this bulb in your hand My 2nd question I'd light output going to be different then ?
Typically, all of the lights that I test are the same in terms of specifications except for the mounting collar (H11 vs H4, etc.). I cannot test every single possible combination of LED light and OEM headlight assembly, so use my research as an initial guide and then verify your own results based on your particular vehicle configuration.
I have a Toyota Corolla 2005 and I am going to Buy Termitor. Do I need dust cap. I don't know if the Corolla already has dust cap or not in the headlight housing
I'm concerned about how hard they are driving the LED in these units. Has anyone done any testing to see how long they last? And to make a fair and realistic test, they need to be installed in a reflector, or in a glass jar so the airflow from the fan doesn't reach the LED part. If they are alive after a week/168 hours, do another lux test.
Mine are brighter than any 55watt hid I've ever had. They are so bright that my low beams are brighter than my stock high beams. I've had them in for about six 6months, no issues. I'm ordering my high beams now
i think fahren forschers are good low beam lights for how well they retain light output over time, and the termitors seem like really good high beam lights as you shouldn’t be using the high beams for extended periods of time
This is the third Fahren LED headlight upgrade I have tested, and by popular demand. How well does it perform compared to the Krieges and Forscher? Let's find out! ★ Buy on Amazon: geni.us/fahrentermitor ★ Fahren Store: geni.us/fahren ★ Fahren deals on eBay: geni.us/fahrenebay
You have to define what is most important in an LED lighting upgrade. Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two lights. That should help!
Perpendicular to reflector ridges if reflector...which is usually 9 and 3 (left to right). Check the collar tabs of the LED and make sure it is in the same orientation of the halogen it is replacing. There may be cases where they are the same and the LED emitters still do not fire in the correct direction, which is then where an adjustable collar is needed.
They just came out with Termitor 2023 version with 30000 lumens. May be comparable to Hikari but more affordable. Will you be reviewing that in the future?
I would like to replace the bulbs in my car’s 2016 Chrysler 200 limited, 2011 Chrysler 200 Touring and a 2014 Hyundai Elantra would these bulbs work in these and what are the bulbs that would fit in them? Thanking you in advance Peter N.
Check your owner manual for your cars to see which bulbs fit. Or, remove what is currently installed and look for what size it is. An example of this can be see at the 38 second mark of this video ruclips.net/video/YjTGWtfaO5c/видео.html
You may need a canbus decoder. In these situations, I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
I wonder if they have some sort of thermal paste from the copper to the housing? if not, open them up and add thermal paste, see how much that makes them cooler or brighter?
@@CarLightReviews its fairly cheap to do plus its more content for your channel and your viewers can do these easy mods to make the bulbs better (if it works)
They should always fire perpendicular to the ridges of the reflector bowl. For my reflector, I am positioning it to fire 9 and 3 as the ridges are vertical.
@@CarLightReviews what are the best LED H11B that you would recommend? Amazon says the Fahren Termitor H11 Fahren Krieges H11 will fit. So I'm confused. Do you have any suggestions?
@@Whiskeybende First, H11 and H11B are not the same. What car do you have (year make model)? Second, you have to define what is most important in an LED lighting upgrade. Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. That should help!
My son bought these for me for Christmas, I have a 2006 Nissan Xterra it has a single reflector housing for both low beam and high beam, the Termitor I have has 2 LED's on each side, I am assuming one is low beam and the other is for the high beam, does it matter if the low beam LED is on the top or bottom with the LED's oriented at 3 and 9 o'clock? Thanks for any suggestions
@@CarLightReviews I found the answer on the low beam-high beam orientation in the comments in this video from Mr Casey and other comments. Maybe this will help others with the Fahren 9007/HB5 LED headlamp ruclips.net/video/i1HX4UYNWaE/видео.html
@@CarLightReviews thankyou but with the options could you just recommend one that's not to expensive but does not burn headlamp out with over heating, all I need is something that's actually bright to view on road as I've watched other videos bought them and they aren't bright yet say 6000 thanks appreciate if you down narrow down 2 best 2

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 and then check the projector pattern in the video. That should help!
I bought this light bulb for my 2018 chevy 2500hd. The light will not come on without manually turning on auto headlamp switch. Have you seen this before?
I don't recall, but I usually remove the plastic when I get it as it reflects my shop light into the camera. However, you might be able to look closely at the connector plug and the mounting tabs on the collar for witness marks of an installation.
@@CarLightReviews is it necessary to use a relay/capacitor while switching to LEDs? Do I need a separate CANbus unit for that or should I leave it as it is while upgrading?
I assume you meant "best", and you have to define what "best" is to you. 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!
That's highly dependant on how tolerant your vehicle is to the light upgrade, and seems to be hit or miss. I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
I think you are referring to distance, which depends largely on the headlight housing and how efficient it is, which is very hard for a guy like me (or anyone not in an SAE/DOT/ECE test lab) to test against. That's why I do baseline vs upgrade testing in my controlled environment...to at least give a reasonable idea of light output and pattern before you spend the money to find out that the marketing lied to you and they suck in every category, which means you wasted time and money. So far, according to the comments that my viewers provide, my testing helps quite a bit in that regard.
i just ordered a set now with your links, thanks for all the well documented reviews you offer man. I hope i will be happy with the light they gave

For best bang for the buck, see the Fahren Forscher. ruclips.net/video/aKpKBcXi470/видео.html
Can't wait for the auxito Y-19 review since I picked those instead of these to give them a try (also the Y-19 where cheaper when got them for around 60$)
How are the Y-19 holding up?
@@LegitLegacyx still going strong
I just bought these for my little itty bitty fog lights on my lexus es350. Ive gone through several different leds. But these termitors are ridiculous. Its almost as bright as headlights lol. Thankfully my fog light design is good and theres no light bleed to blind oncoming traffic. But wow i am impressed by these leds. Its insane.
Glad the video helped!
You should review some h13 led bulbs . It’s hard to find decent bulbs in h13. Most of the bulbs tested on this channel don’t offer h13
Can you do a review on the torchbeam T2, can't decide between these or the fahren termitor!
Great all of your videos! 🙌🏻
I have an issue with these lights on my 2020 Ford F150. The low beam on the right side won’t stay on for more than 3 seconds after starting the vehicle. I have used NOVSIGHTS, NINEO II, etc.. and they were working without any issues. Any help on this matter it’s much appreciated 🙏🏻 (going crazy here). Thanks in advance
I got my termitor from amazon. Is there a limit on brightness a reflector can handle? It seems not a lot brighter than my auxito h11. Lol. Using it right now though.
Where do you put the canbus? In the light housing or zip tie outside of the housing ?
Hello Guys! I have a 2014 Ford Edge with halogens bulbs. I al ready have some LRTER led, and really does a decent job. But, what led do you recommend to this special vehicle? I just want to be able to see perfectly at night but there's a lot of different options out there. So, Wich want do you recommend?
(In a project lent)
Thanks a lot
hello. first off thank you for your great videos and attention to detail. my sons 2012 tacoma NEEDS new bulbs. I would love some recommendations. I'm leaning to these. Thank you - DAD
Unfortunately, I can't suggest a recommendation for specific vehicles as I can't test them all, I am sorry to say. That's why I can offer a baseline reference. However, I do suggest that you review my headlight data spreadsheet here: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and use that data to guide your decision. Sorry I cannot be more specific to your needs!
I have a 2015 subaru crosstrek xv, thinking of replacing the fog lights will the h11 work?
Can we do a test to find the best H1 led bulb ? It’s one of the hardest finding and tightest fitting bulbs 😏
Wow. I've been waiting for this. I have reflector housing and currently run the Krieges. The out put is crazy high. Retained light over time is still almost 600 lux higher then the Krieges. Is 600 lux that much more noticable?
Considering that 600 lux is 2/3's of what the halogen bulb is, I would think that it is a noticeable difference. It all depends on your personal sensitivity to light intensity but on paper, is is significant.
How I find that there are two different versions of the fahren Kriegers. I see that one has a wire coming out of it while the other looks like a cube with an outlet?
I have the Terminator and like it but what led do you recommend for DRL/high beams on a grand caravan. Thanks and great videos
You have to define what is most important in an LED lighting upgrade. Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two categories you chose. That should help!

would these work as low and high for a 98 camry?
I bought this leds, but it's fail went I star the engine, I tried another diferent brand and works perfectly, so.. that meaning fahren it's not good for my car... any advice?
Can u make a test of BUPOLSG H7 i think this is also a great product with smaller size and also bright
I had a set of these in my f150 lowbeam housing they worked when i stalled for about 10mins but after that they over heated and stopped working all together.. idk if it was a bad set due to i have a set in my highbeams and they seem to work ok for now... Id like to get a set again for my fog lights as they are not fully enclosed so should stay alot cooler...great videos by the way ...really enjoyed aswell as get info\ review

Done. ruclips.net/video/m6YYiKX2gCY/видео.html
@@CarLightReviews Thank you Sir.
Check out the Denpers 120w. I had it and seems very bright, noticeably brighter than the 2023 Termitor which I’ll be returning. On my application it didn’t work as well due to the hotspot being too low, it washed out the downroad light. So far the Auxito Y13 is the best for my application, Fusion.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Here is the Termitor 2023 review and lux test: ruclips.net/video/2LJcU2hwPz8/видео.html, and my test seems to agree with your experience.
@@CarLightReviews awesome! I watched it and was surprised on the output. The pattern is what I expected seeing as how it had a similar pattern on mine. Awesome review!
I have a 2013 fusion which bulbs should I go with since you got a fusion these or the auxito
@@jjohnson6853 I wouldn’t do the 2023 Termitor. I currently run the Bevinsee V45, very nice spread but I’ve been tempted to run the Luxster Punisher based on the video review here. Only thing is they are not Prime eligible on Amazon. I’d say the bevinsee V45 are good all around. My fusion might have different projectors than yours. Since I think it’s harder to get into the housing on your model year I’d just go with the Luxster.
I've had the Forscher ones in my 2017 Chevy Cruze which has a projector headlight housing. I upgraded to the Ursprung ones and wasn't so impressed with the brightness between the 2. Do you think it's worth getting the termitor ones and would they be noticeably brighter? Again I have protector headlight housings. Thanks, great video!!
Compare the specs of this light to the specs of the Forscher (ruclips.net/video/aKpKBcXi470/видео.html) by using my headlight test data spreadsheet: carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs. That will tell you everything you need to know!
@@CarLightReviews sweet thank you so much!
How about a HID vs LED for a reflector high beam. I upgraded to an LED but think a 50W HID would do even better.
A common request, and yes...it will happen in the future. Stay tuned!
Do you plan on testing bosilla’s new 70w bulbs?
Yes, I have them on my list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Bevinsee v55 or Fahren Termitor? Which would you choose for projectors? Thanks for the review man, keep it up!

Here is the Termitor 2023 review and lux test: ruclips.net/video/2LJcU2hwPz8/видео.html
@Car Light Reviews, which LED bulbs would you recommend for 55W H7 Bulbs? The ones in the video are 65W, and the don't work on my truck (turn on and back off after a second)
I am just one guy, so I can only test in in one size, which is H11. However, typically the specs are the same across all sizes for each model of bulb, so you can use my suggestions in ruclips.net/video/YMxLhQtwB7I/видео.html as well as the data in my spreadsheet in carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs.
Thank you for your kind effort,
If you advice me to choose between this Fahern or Auxbeam G series,what would you suggest?
Hard to say...what do you need for an LED light upgrade? Price? Quality? Brightness?
@@CarLightReviews quality and brightness?
@@khalidalrawi8717 Tough call, as they are both extremely similar in light output performance. However the Auxbeam has a 2 year warranty where the Termitor has a 1 year warranty. However the Auxbeam is more expensive but it does have better projector output.
@@CarLightReviews Thank you 🙏
How would you rate these drop in LED bulbs as opposed to full headlight assemblies like Morimoto, alpharex, anzo, etc. in an F150?
Hard to say as I haven't tested them. In theory, I think that the full headlight assemblies would typically do better, depending on the design and quality. I only say that because technically, you are using a light that the housing wasn't explicitly designed for. In a sense, hacking your headlights in a basic way. However, the full headlight assemblies can be assumed to be designed to be effective as-is...so again in theory, it would do better. However, it all depends. I had some inexpensive replacement headlights I bought and my initial testing showed they did not do very well at all compared to the factory housings. How more expensive ones do better, from what I understand, but at that point...you are spending hundreds of dollars vs around $100 for LED bulb replacements.
Need help please. I just now installed these on my 2019 F150. I added a canbus decoder. I actually got everything to fit in the housing. The only problem is, the fan is right up against the side of the housing, and the dust cover will not go back on. Which millimeter do you prefer that would allow me to still use these? The fan is just not centered in the opening…. Thank you!!
First, don't drive without dust caps (no matter what other people tell you) unless you want to replace your entire housings in the future because there's so much crap inside of them.
Second, I wish I could help you but I am not familiar with your vehicle headlight design. I'd post pics on your favorite forum or social media group for your specific vehicle.
i have a 2014 jeep cherokee and i install this light they only work with the jeep turn off and went i turn them on lights goes away and the hight doesnt turn on dont know whats going on had to change it back to normal light
You may need a canbus decoder. In these situations, I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
I have question for you
When I looking online H4 bulb it's way different then this bulb in your hand
My 2nd question I'd light output going to be different then ?
Typically, all of the lights that I test are the same in terms of specifications except for the mounting collar (H11 vs H4, etc.). I cannot test every single possible combination of LED light and OEM headlight assembly, so use my research as an initial guide and then verify your own results based on your particular vehicle configuration.
I have a Toyota Corolla 2005 and I am going to Buy Termitor. Do I need dust cap. I don't know if the Corolla already has dust cap or not in the headlight housing
If your vehicle came with dust caps from the factory, use them. Open the hood and take a look, or check your owner manual.
Me gustaria que hagas unas pruebas reales de los lumenes y watts
I have the Termitor in my 08 Ranger and the only complaint is the noise level but oh man they’re bright!
Thanks for the confirmation, and thank you VERY much for supporting Car Light Reviews!
I'm concerned about how hard they are driving the LED in these units. Has anyone done any testing to see how long they last? And to make a fair and realistic test, they need to be installed in a reflector, or in a glass jar so the airflow from the fan doesn't reach the LED part. If they are alive after a week/168 hours, do another lux test.
Mine are brighter than any 55watt hid I've ever had. They are so bright that my low beams are brighter than my stock high beams. I've had them in for about six 6months, no issues. I'm ordering my high beams now
i think fahren forschers are good low beam lights for how well they retain light output over time, and the termitors seem like really good high beam lights as you shouldn’t be using the high beams for extended periods of time
One of mine started flickering
This is the third Fahren LED headlight upgrade I have tested, and by popular demand.
How well does it perform compared to the Krieges and Forscher? Let's find out!

do you mind reviewing a normal 35w or 50w HID kid for us so we can have another base line beside halogen bulbs ? much appreciated
Yes, I will be reviewing HID kits in the near future so we can see how they compare to halogen and LED.
I love to hear which is better Apollo form x77 or terminator? Thank you!
You have to define what is most important in an LED lighting upgrade. Brightness? Value? Quality? Pick two of the three. Then, take a look at my spreadsheet at carlightreviews.com/headlightspecs and review/compare the data based on the two lights. That should help!
For the best performance in a reflector house should you line it left right or up down
Perpendicular to reflector ridges if reflector...which is usually 9 and 3 (left to right). Check the collar tabs of the LED and make sure it is in the same orientation of the halogen it is replacing. There may be cases where they are the same and the LED emitters still do not fire in the correct direction, which is then where an adjustable collar is needed.
@CarLightReviews ok thank you very much
They just came out with Termitor 2023 version with 30000 lumens. May be comparable to Hikari but more affordable. Will you be reviewing that in the future?
Yes, I sure will!

@@CarLightReviews Nice job!
I would like to replace the bulbs in my car’s 2016 Chrysler 200 limited, 2011 Chrysler 200 Touring and a 2014 Hyundai Elantra would these bulbs work in these and what are the bulbs that would fit in them? Thanking you in advance Peter N.
Check your owner manual for your cars to see which bulbs fit. Or, remove what is currently installed and look for what size it is. An example of this can be see at the 38 second mark of this video ruclips.net/video/YjTGWtfaO5c/видео.html
I install them in a 2015 Toyota camry and the DRL flicks, can you tell me why
You may need a canbus decoder. In these situations, I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
I wonder if they have some sort of thermal paste from the copper to the housing? if not, open them up and add thermal paste, see how much that makes them cooler or brighter?
I have opened a few cheap ones up in the past, and they always have some thermal paste smeared in them.
@@CarLightReviews interesting, would liquid metal paste work better?
@@CUBEoneVX Heh...you are getting into an area that I haven't explored. 😄 Interesting idea, hacking an LED headlight upgrade.
@@CarLightReviews its fairly cheap to do plus its more content for your channel and your viewers can do these easy mods to make the bulbs better (if it works)
@@CUBEoneVX Hard to say, though...some have to be destroyed to get them open.
In a reflector housing are you clocking them at 12 and 6 or 3 and 9?
They should always fire perpendicular to the ridges of the reflector bowl. For my reflector, I am positioning it to fire 9 and 3 as the ridges are vertical.
@@CarLightReviews what are the best LED H11B that you would recommend? Amazon says the Fahren Termitor H11 Fahren Krieges H11 will fit. So I'm confused. Do you have any suggestions?
@@Whiskeybende First, H11 and H11B are not the same. What car do you have (year make model)?

Does it live up to your expectations?
My son bought these for me for Christmas, I have a 2006 Nissan Xterra it has a single reflector housing for both low beam and high beam, the Termitor I have has 2 LED's on each side, I am assuming one is low beam and the other is for the high beam, does it matter if the low beam LED is on the top or bottom with the LED's oriented at 3 and 9 o'clock? Thanks for any suggestions
Fair question, it depends on the design. The manual that came with it should specify. Did you check that by any chance?
@@CarLightReviews I found the answer on the low beam-high beam orientation in the comments in this video from Mr Casey and other comments. Maybe this will help others with the Fahren 9007/HB5 LED headlamp

I bought this light bulb for my 2018 chevy 2500hd. The light will not come on without manually turning on auto headlamp switch. Have you seen this before?
Canbus adapter needed most likely
Did the box come wrapped in clear plastic ? Mine didn't so I'm wondering if I got someone's return ?
I don't recall, but I usually remove the plastic when I get it as it reflects my shop light into the camera. However, you might be able to look closely at the connector plug and the mounting tabs on the collar for witness marks of an installation.
@@CarLightReviews is it necessary to use a relay/capacitor while switching to LEDs? Do I need a separate CANbus unit for that or should I leave it as it is while upgrading?
So what is the head led headlights for projector housing?
I assume you meant "best", and you have to define what "best" is to you. 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!
But do the flicker on '22 F150? How is their canbus?
That's highly dependant on how tolerant your vehicle is to the light upgrade, and seems to be hit or miss. I always suggest that you consult your favorite social media group or message board specific to your vehicle.
Just put these in my F150 and they won’t stay on. Said something about a decoder but the website says I don’t need one.
Has anybody tested the length of this light compare to halogen light bulbs? Anybody?
I think you are referring to distance, which depends largely on the headlight housing and how efficient it is, which is very hard for a guy like me (or anyone not in an SAE/DOT/ECE test lab) to test against. That's why I do baseline vs upgrade testing in my controlled environment...to at least give a reasonable idea of light output and pattern before you spend the money to find out that the marketing lied to you and they suck in every category, which means you wasted time and money. So far, according to the comments that my viewers provide, my testing helps quite a bit in that regard.
