Easy to install; excellent light; vertical aim is great

We bought a HIKARI HB3 (9005) Ultra LED conversion kit, Philips Lumileds 12000lm 6K Cool White, 2 year warranty. We installed them in our 2015 Hyundai Tucson about a month ago. Very easy assembly (10-15 minutes), fits in the headlight well without any problems. The light seems much brighter than the original Hyundai headlights, 75% to 100% brighter by my estimation. With original headlights we always had to use low beam fog lights and still struggled with low light output; Now we can see very well without fog lights. The high beam works great too. The beams are well directed when the unit is placed vertically (install LED lights on the sides [not top/bottom]) - the light is directed at about hood level and below (similar to the OEM but brighter), like that there are no problems with oncoming traffic; We may need to make some small adjustments to one of the lights (the right light seems to be pointing a little more to the left), but it's minor and we're still deciding if they're as good as they are or if they're going to be slightly adjusted have to . Overall a definite improvement over the original Hyundai headlights and we highly recommend them. After reading other reviews, choose a product with Philips LED bulbs - they are slightly smaller (fit better) and rated as much better bulbs.
