Top 4 LED Headlight Kits

Posted by HID Vision Canada on 16th Dec 2015

The last 3 months have been incredibly busy in the LED world. Companies have been releasing new LED headlight kits every month trying to come up with better, brighter light. We've tried sample sets from all over and selected only a few LED headlight models which are strong in design and performance.

Our #1 Choice is the 3000lm 6G LED

PROS

- they are the smallest in length of all the LED kits
- they do not have an external LED driver so they can fit inside a headlight with a dust cap
- absence of a cooling fan makes it more reliable
- single beam bulbs operate at 6V DRL (daytime running light voltage)
- installation is super easy - remove old bulb, install new bulb, plug power cable in

CONS

- 4 cm diameter of the bulb base may be just a few mm too large for some installations

Our #2 Choice is the 6000lm 8G LED

PROS

- the bulb body is very compact making installations in tight spaces easy
- the bulb feels heavy and solid
- single beam bulbs operate at 6V DRL (daytime running light voltage)

CONS

- external LED driver
- cooling fan

Our #3 Choice is the 4800lm R3 LED

PROS

- the bulb body is the smallest in diameter so it is the best bulb for 9007 LED upgrades
- the bulb feels heavy and solid
- cooling it done through heavy copper ribbons
- they are as bright as they say 4800lm

CONS

- external LED driver

Our #4 Choice is the 5200lm P6 LED

PROS

- they are the brightest of all LED headlights so far
- the bulb feels heavy and solid
- bulb focus in the headlight is fully adjustable

CONS

- the fan enclosure is not the smallest making some installations impossible
- external LED driver
- cooling fan built into the bulb
