Review on Alla Lighting Headlights Conversion Upgrade by Issac Smart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bright easy landing on Buick Encore 2016

I have already bought Alla LED bulbs for my 2008 Ford Expedition. Those lights are still burning a year later. After reading other reviews of other Alla headlights I chose these for our 2016 Buick Encore because the bulbs on this car are behind plastic covers that screw into the back of the headlight housing. I was worried it wouldn't fit with the length of the fan behind the lamp. Alla commented to other reviews that this will be the more compact style I bought if they are concerned about the fit. They come in a nice heavy box and the bulbs are set in a nice foam tray - they seem to be of good quality from that perspective. They're not flimsy - they're red anodized aluminum and have what appears to be a block of aluminum with resistors attached to it. My last set of Alla bulbs, I think I bought extra ones, they are already connected (I probably didn't need them anyway). The bulbs stick in and work, it took me longer to reach into the engine bay with my fat hand to unscrew the headlight covers than actually installing the new bulbs. Not only these bulbs fit into the case, but also all cables and resistors with a margin. I installed the plugs backwards first and they didn't catch fire, just flipped the plug over and they worked great. This kit replaces the low and high beam bulbs (2 different bulbs). Speaking of bright, the yellow dim bulbs I pulled out were so dim you could barely see them at night - they gave off a very specific flat WHITE beam - and they make the front of the car "relevant" for HID now / LEDs. you see it everywhere on the street now. Amazing difference in clarity and distance I see with them now. No one has ever had flashes from me, either they were too bright or they were turned into the eyes of those arriving, which makes me very happy. This is my second set of Alla bulbs, I will continue to buy them for all my cars that don't already have standard HID or LED bulbs.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
