This is what i was looking. Led can't compete with HID in projector housing. Nice one bro

@BoostedMotorsports Needed confirmation that I made the best decision sticking with HID in my Escalade projectors (vs buying an LED conversion kit). This definitely confirmed that I made the right decision lol. Thanks for posting!

I've got aftermarket projectors and have used hid bulbs for a couple of years. One of the ballasts started acting up, so I bought a H11 LED "upgrade" that was considerably more expensive than a replacement HID kit. Right away, there were the same problems you highlighted- no matter how the bulbs were indexed, there were multiple 'hot spots' and 'dead spots' in the beam pattern and the light output was nowhere near what the old HID bulbs had. So, the LEDs were returned and new HIDs are where they belong. On my other car with H4 bulbs, the LEDs work great and HIDs are horrible, so you just have to try both and see what works best for your situation.

I have always preferred the HIDs over LEDs as it never fails no matter how I clock LEDs I have the dead spot making it harder to see which is the complete opposite of what we are trying to accomplish by upgrading halogen bulbs.. great comparison video!

I use HID headlights in my '14 300C, they seem to work OK. LED lights are very bright but the "dead" spot that many of them have can be a bit difficult to work around. Great video! Thanks man!

i got the s-v.4 and they work better than i expected, clocked them at 3 and 9, they do have a vertical dead spot, but i didnt notice it when adjusting the height. also i wanted more of a plug and play vs having a ballast. also i can see so much better going down the road at night. good video showing both and comparing them side by side

I have auxito leds in my Ram 3500 with projectors and I don’t have any dead spots.

2016 projector ram here, i installed 35watt (each) leds in mine and have zero dead spots clocked at 3-9. Also. A company called brightsource makes deeper caps for the rams to accept larger bulbs, already have grommets installed also.

Based on two-year old technologies, and possibly, inferior LEDs compared to what was available back then. There are definitely downsides to the HIDs as compared to the LEDs. Other than that, a pretty good video.

Yes do the high beam video. Also video of converting a ram with the standard bulbs into ones with the nicer projector ones like you have in your truck

Dam that’s a very good example on the street there, really like the HID in that housing, guess I’ll have to go that route. Was really hoping for a simple and small LED install but there’s really no comparison here, beam pattern is paramount. Thanks man!

They are now making projectors that are specific for LEDs if you wanted to do a custom swap on the projectors. The retrofit source sells some pretty good products. I think it'd be pretty cool to see a custom headlight mod video from you because you're fairly skilled with a lot of these tasks and by the looks of that headlight housing it'd be really easy plus we could get to see a comparison for the new led projectors vs the old HID projectors, you could even add some nice custom halos, etched lenses and such. Much harder but well worth the work would be a dual Bixenon projector integration into the dakota headlight housings you have as the ebay projector headlights for the dakota are subpar at best I think custom ones would give you better light output than most vehicles but again this would be a lot of work, planning and wiring though it might work better with the new hellcat swap as the charger and challenger had projectors.

I known this is a older video, WOW what a difference...

imo the good ol HID xenon is still better, but LED is catching up. I just found HID is brighter, throws light much further away onto the road and its wider too. Yes LED still bright in fact if you look at them HID and LED side by side they looks almost identical, you just need to remember you need to also look at the road and check the light output to make a better observation. I do most of night time driving on the country side recently due to work and I found HID works way better, it really lights up the road so much better. with LED is tricky sometimes it works with projector sometimes it doesnt, and sometimes they work better with reflector headlights and so on. with HID they are meant to be inside projector housing also they are omni directional , while LED is bi directional that's why you can have dead spot with LED.

Buy a lux/lumen meter and show some real measurements of light output. Light temperature doesn't correlate to light output.

Hey John, thanks for all u do, really enjoy this channel. I'm a 2018 ram 1500 owner as well and I clicked on the link for the low beams and this references me to the same brand but not the right application for my ram. Maybe its me but help! Thanks from Texas

Led’s are by far better than HID’s. LED’s have come along extremely well. They are more reliable, they last longer, they have better quality construction, they have better quality cooling fan and better quality passive heatsink fanless, they yes better led chips. Such as CSP,ZES, CSP, LMP, CSP flip chips, Osram led chips, Cree style led chips. Most common and tried and true is CSP,SMD, and ZES led chips. As long as it’s a thin body two sided led. And position them in 3-9 o’clock. No matter if it’s project and reflect. It will mimic the same beam pattern. Some led bulbs makes better beam pattern than others. LED > HID.

True hids are better in a projector nice video thx 🙏

Make a high beam video I been wanting to upgrade mine and been wondering if I should run led or hid love the channel

I guess the fair comparison would be HIDs in HID projectors vs LEDs in LED projectors. HIDs or LEDs in a halogen projector would not give you the best results, I imagine. I've also heard that 55w runs too hot that it actually melts the reflectors on their projectors; have you experienced anything like that?

Have these HID's lasted I'm looking into getting some but not sure which ones to get. Thanks in advanced and for the informational videos!

LED are the best in my opinion I had HID On 2018 Charger and I couldn’t see anything at night with a 5% tint on the front windshield soon as I put the LED I can see everything at night

I know holengen housing led bulbs are clocked at left to right

By the way big fan

Not useing a relay harness? And youre not experiencing any issues? When i had HIDs i intermittently had a ballast thst wouldn't turn on the HID. I was using the same brand ballast....

HID's and projectors go together like peanut butter and jelly sandwich 🥪

Really superb video ,it really helped me to make a decision , and really appreciate you making his very informative video ,and HID is winner with no doubts for Projector Lamps,Thumbs Up from India!!!!

Dont forget the HID fluid

I have a ram 2500 with the factory projectors and I’ve been trying to find a good replacement bulb

Some LED bulbs just don't perform well in some projectors. When you find a set of bulbs that do, the performance is pretty damn great.

Sold! Going HIDs for my projectors. My high beams are reflectors and might use LEDs for those. Did you end up trying them on your high beams?

How to change signal light bulb sir?

Thanks

Is it flickering a bit at the end?

Can they work in non projector headlight? I have a 2015 ram 1500

Thanks! I’m gonna order the hid kit an adapters from your links. I also want the led fogs from your other video. Does the colors match ok?

I have the 35w 9006 5000k and I love them. They have great light output. I tried LEDs in my projectors and the light output is honestly trash. Night and day different HID over LED. Btw anything over 6000k you lose 5-10% light output per 1000k. Food for thought

How did you connect the headlight bulb to the housing. The connection for the build seems very different then the OEM headlight. Thanks

I don't now wats going on with urs but my LEDs put hids to shame no dead spots....I got the hikari hyperstar 2022... Dam night and day difference

Changed my 09 ram headlights to some Axiom halogen lights with LED running lights and now the high beams wont work...Thoughts?

I installed LED's in projector headlights, and I can only see 2 seconds ahead, though the beam is bright for that short distance. Flick the high beam and I can provide light for an entire city! What gives?

How can you run higher wattage lights? The new auxbeam gx 240 watt 9012, any info would be appreciated

Halogen to HID it is... LED for high any good good?

Hid bar facing down or up?

Hello need help I have a ram 2013 1500 just put in HID kits for Low Beam and fog lights and I can't find HID light bulbs Holder clips. Can someone help. Thanks in advance

I have been looking into the leds, because my hid burned out after a couple years I had them on my 3rd gen, found it was going to get expensive replacing them that often

I installed the same lights and went through AlfaOBD as well and now I have my driver seat motor acting up with the associated circuit breaker getting extremely hot. Have you or anyone had similar issues when changing the body control module? Dealer said there may be a chance the change affected the seats/circuit breaker.

My hid kit doesn’t even work when I installed mine. Turns on at first start but then they turn off like 5 seconds later with abit of flicker here and there

I instaled hid lights on at Toyota and i think they have 2 hot 🥵 to make the car turn on fire 🔥 that that’s posible to make yuo car on fire i think

About the canbus, I installed LED highs and lows that came with the canbus. My auto headlight function isn't working. I thought maybe I changed a setting in Alfa that maybe messed that up. How can I get that function back?

I use Osram LEDriving HL LEDs in my Toyota Prius 3.gen projectors and I dont have any scary dead spots, light is nicely distributed on road, I think you choose bad type of LEDs, Osram LED bulbs have completely different body of bulb

I dont understand why there is no cut off. Specially projector headlamps. Hmmm. There is something weong with that LED. by the way im using a XHP70 led from china and its good

I build my own headlights with 4 hi/low beam projectors. Don't use LEDs,.. hids are way so much better and focus right on the center of the projector, I'm replacing my 2.5 hi/low projectors to a 3" I'm having 4 with 8k hids plus led fog lights....

HID’s are superior. I have GTR 5000k bulbs and Hylux 35w ballasts in my Ram. Love them like crazy

So the kit you listed says the 9005 is for high beam? Did you put this in your low beams?

Compre e instale este kit hid y no prende ninguna luz solo destello una vez y fue todo y pongo la luz original y si prende pero pongo el kit y no prende a que se deberá ayuda por favor

I would recommend to everyone to get some 50w Hylux ballast . You guys won’t regret it. Plug and play and I didn’t had to use alphaobd . I been on a “55w” ballast of amazon and nothing compare to Hylux . Get them off eBay but be aware they do come from Hong Kong I believe .

Can these work on 2019 Ram 1500 Classic ? Amazon is telling me no....

I would like to purchase the HID kit for my 2010 Yukon denali XL will it work I will soon be purchasing aftermarket projected headlights housing Hopefully I can just plug and play plz help 🙏🏾

What hid bulb sizes did you get?

Would the hid kit improve my 98 Dakota. The stock bulbs are not as bright as I would like

Do the HIDs require the resistors?

Hey i get intermittent lighting in my 2015 ecodiesel projector headlights that i Upgraded to led bulbs. Would switching it to HiDS fix that issue? Does your headlights turn off and on at certain times? Thank you

Your Amazon Links come back with "Page Not found" Are you still associated with this?

I ordered the same HID in the video/link in description and they burnt out in less than 6 months do you have any other recommendations?

LED swap on all exterior lights was the first thing I did to my 2019 1500 Classic. Next thing i did was regret it from all the "light out" codes I get. Not interested in installing all the resistors.

LEDs are far superior. But they need to be installed at 12 and 6. I have them in my wife’s 13 Explorer and my 12 class A MH both have projector lenses. The light output is great. No dead spots and no blinding oncoming cars. Curious to know where the LED sits in relation to the filament on a halogen bulb?

I bought the same kit as you three times. They keep dying on me and I was using the canbus wires

Wow the new ballast boxes are way way smaller than the ones I bought back in 2001

Nice with HID'S, do you think it has something to do with the model year of your truck? I installed Sealight LED's on my 2020 5th Gen 2500, no dead space. Previous lights were halogen bulbs from factory.

So I bought the same brand of HID but does anyone know why these won't stay on? They turn on for maybe 1 minute than shut off?

*VIDEOS LIKE THIS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE PROBLEM! People have put LEDS in reflectors not made for them or used LEDS in projectors, NOT MADE FOR THEM! There are projectors specifically for Halogen and HID! LEDS are made in different specs for Reflectors, Halogen projectors or HID projectors!!!*

What bulb type is needed for a 2018 RAM 1500 Laramie? On Amazon they all say they do not fit my truck. Is this because you need to modify the casing?

Do the hid kits get to hot with projector lights? Would anything melt

Any reason you go with 9005 vs 9012 (HIR2) for low beams? Does it matter?

should have used products offered by Headlight Revolution, they are not cheep. GTR-Lighting and MORIMOTO 2STROKE,

Alguien que me ayude porfavor !! Cuales puedo comprar para mi ram laramie 2015? Es que me sale error code ???

Can you not use alpha OBDLink with a iPhone??

HID outshines all LED bulbs in a projector headlight. Period!!!

Hey John I got the HID kit and I have a 2015 ram 1500 with projector headlights. I got the kid you showed plugged it in to the low beam and it won't turn on sometimes it will flicker but never holds on. I got the resistors and they didn't change it. I finally just ordered this obd2 port and got the alpha app. Do you think this will make it turn on, someone please help it's been very stressful trying to figure out. Also the hid will work in my high beam just not the low beam projector. Can I use both at the same time also ?

Hid better for projectors

Hi John love your video just wondering did you install a hid harness or did you just plug the ballast into the factory plug any flickering on the headlights

Hid wins again 😏👉🏼 flawless victory lol

HID

There are way better led bulbs out there

Go with gtr ultra 2 led trust me

I bet money on the gtr ultra bulbs

For some reason this video popped up to me...so I watched it about halfway through...the "beam pattern test" with putting a sheet of paper right to the headlight had me dying of laughter :D ... dude, you're litteraly filming this in a garage...backout that truck, point it toward the garage, close the garage door and check the pattern on the door. I bet you will see that the LEDs are actually working just fine, if not better than HIDs. And the "blind spot", that's because you got some garbage LEDs man...try S.V4 or something from GTR lighting - clock it like a normal human being - 3&9 (I have no idea where you got the idea of 12&6 in the previous video), and you can start throwing out all the HID bubls and ballasts to the trash. But then, yeah, looks like you're selling them...that will be hard to move on from...

You have the wrong kind of led headlights for one no wonder u have dark spots go on Amazon and type audew led its a true led bulb that is wrapped the whole way around with leds I have them in my ram there crazy bright they make hid bulbs look like weak sauce for sure

How are you gonna put the LED om the highbeam??? If the truck is high and low in one bulb lol goes to show how little you know about lights

Hid not even close

HID's are awesome as long as they don't burn the reflective coating off the projector bowls, Stupid fucking Camaro.....

Hey this is Winston and I would love to talk more about the hid kit can I email you?

Love my stock HID's on my challenger but they are expensive to replace. I. Having intermittent issues with one side but im not sure if its a bulb or a ballast and both run in the $200 range
