Review on Upgrade Your Car'S Lighting With 9005 HB3 LED Headlight Bulbs - 8000 Lumens, 6000K Cool White, Halogen Replacement Kit by Derrick Duck

Revainrating 3 out of 5

*very easy to install

Installed these as both fog lights and headlights on my 2017 Rav4 XLE. Here are the pros and cons:For projection headlight (9006/HB4 bulb size)Pros:*very easy to install, just plug and twist tight as stock bulbs.*true 6000k white light, there is no blue tint*instant on/off unlike HID xenon bulbs which requires additional power-up time*fast switch on/off unlike HID xenon bulbs which shouldn't be turned on and off so oftenCons:*scattered beam.very scattered beam on projection headlight units*light output is very weak, even weaker than stock halogen on projection headlight units.*high beam is depressing - literally nonexistent. (Rav4 uses the same bulb for low and high beam, I didn't need to use separate bulbs for hi/lo beams)For Fog-light (Rav4 XLE's fog light is reflective unit NOT projection). Bulb size: H11Pros:*EXTREMELY BRIGHT, i repeat, EXTREMELY BRIGHT for reflective headlight assembly. I can almost drive solely with these installed on my fog light.*true 6000k white light, there is no blue tint*instant on/off unlike HID xenon bulbs which requires additional power-up time*fast switch on/off unlike HID xenon bulbs which shouldn't be turned on and off so oftenCon:*One of the bulb unit was very hard to install - probably a small manufacture errorOverall, I think these bulbs are great for reflective headlight units. The beam pattern outputs to the sides so naturally, it would do A LOT better in reflective headlight units than projection. The beam is very unfocused, scattered, and weak on projection headlight units, specifically on the 2017 Rav4 XLE - I cannot speak for other vehicles - but still beware. Other than that, I think this is a set of great products for the right car.
