Note: This video is for educational purposes only and may show street-use content with products that may not be DOT compliant for use on public roads. The video is not intended to imply vehicle-specific street legality. LED and HID bulbs are street legal in the USA for fog light use and not in low beam or high beam headlights because they are not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108. When looking for on-road-use headlight upgrades we recommend DOT-compliant headlight housings, not bulb replacements. Certain specialty vehicles strictly limited to off-street use and not having DOT registration or license plates may use these products exclusively off-streets. International street legality varies by country. For detailed clarification on-street use, go to www.headlightrevolution.com/street-usage&utm_campa…

These new headlights on the road are blinding. I found the safest thing to do for my own sight is close my eyes and drive by feel.
-
I was all set to be annoyed by some dude pretending to know about bulbs, then this guy taught me stuff, good job man
-
As an electrical engineer I’d say this is as thorough yet easy to understand explanation of a somewhat technical topic as anyone could produce. Thank you thank you. I now feel that I am qualified to upgrade the lamps on my 2 trucks without being disappointed. Best regards!

Summary of what to look for: LED: Thin straight line diode that closely mimics original coil pattern to ensure proper beam pattern. Cooling: Proper metal heatsink and fan setup. Simply relying on surface area not good enough. Choosing the brightest LED on market exposes you to heat management issues. Wiring: External driver away from heatsink to avoid premature failure due to heat. Compact enough to fit in housing. Minimize connections to avoid excess failure points.
-
I admire what you did (About the story of the channel), you have my support.
-
Very informative. I thought i was the only one that goes to these crazy lengths of research on things like this!
-
Great video!! Lots of useful info!! I’ve been upgrading my non led lights to leds. I’ve found certain ones you can upgrade without any problems but other ones create minor issues like when i upgraded my brake lights. I needed to add a resistor because the led drew so little power my truck thought it was a blown bulb.
-
Thank you for shedding some light (pun intended) on a complicated topic!
-
Great video. I just want to say thank you for bringing all this information to YouTube .. !!
-
Thanks for doing such a terrific job. Much appreciated !
-
Congratulations, the videos are very informative and easy to understand. Keep up the good job and thank you!
-
sir, you are doing a tremendous job and i want to thank you for all of this amazing research you have done! imagine all the money you have saved people from educating them on this subject
-
When you're eyes get old like mine, you'll wish all cars had headlights (brake lights) from the 70's. We did just fine with them and we didn't blind everyone while driving.
-
Thanks, HR for the great presentation. Where I work, we experimented with building LED headlights about a decade ago. As the temperature rises, the efficiency of the LED light output decreases requiring more current, more heat.... You get the picture. Also, overheating an LED will result in a permanent color shift. Heat is the nemesis of LEDs. A LED is a current controlled electrical device. The "driver" acts as a current source not a voltage source used for halogen lamps.

Anyone who is willing to show their face and their true small business name while calling out Phillips (the crappy connection on LED bulb near the end of the video) has my vote. I'll be calling you guys on Monday for advice as well as giving you my business even though I'm just one guy. Keep doing what you're doing!

I rigged a couple of old Lighthouse lights to my car but now find that I'm driving in circles a lot..
-
Best one of your videos I've watched so far. There needs to be much more education of drivers installing LED lights and how to keep from blinding oncoming traffic. It's a huge issue where I live.
-
Awesome review and love your channel. On the negative side, you doing free research and development for the companies that have any research and development.
-
You have so much knowledge, wisdom and speak very well. Worth watching and listening. I am learning a lot from you Sir. Keep up the good works.
-
That was one hell of a beer very comprehensive video on a subject that brings so much dazzling attention to all of us, but the subject is mysteriously secretive from a lot of us. Thank you very much for shedding so much light on this elusive topic. I didn't know that the subject itself was so deep until I decided to keep in. Thanks a lot built.
