Review on Glowteck H13/9008 LED Headlight Bulbs Conversion Kit - CREE XHP50 Chip, 12000 Lumen/Pair, 6K Cool White, 6500K Brightness for Enhanced Visibility by Jeff Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy installation, bright light and good color rendering, high beam adjustment, quiet fan and lamp cooling

A quick note to all do-it-yourselfers: Please understand that with almost all aftermarket vehicles there is a risk that they will not fit exactly like the factory parts. Please do your own research as socket placement is not the only factor to consider when choosing headlights as most aftermarket headlights come in a variety of sizes. Some cars don't have space for larger bulbs, so please don't scold the product review. These headlights have been said to work great for my 1998 Saturn SL which has lots of extra room. Significantly improved visibility and brightness, and more importantly, a fully adjustable beam pattern. This is a serious problem for most LED lamps, as old reflector housings do not offer optimal light distribution. Customization allows me to tweak as needed to get a nice clean pattern without blinding other drivers. No complaints about fan noise like some other bulbs, if you can hear a tiny fan above the sound of the engine and the road then you have superhuman powers. The light color is excellent, a nice bright white rather than a nasty blue or purple. Sturdy packaging, plug and play installation, although some new cars may have issues. DO YOUR RESEARCH. Bonus mini bulbs are a nice addition if fitting elsewhere in your car (194 bulbs/holder) ideal for interior or license plate lighting. Ultimately, this product is working great so far and I would recommend it to anyone interested. It's worth the extra money over $30 bulbs if you've had trouble adjusting the beam.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
