Review on ๐Ÿ’ก High-Performance KATANA LED Bulbs, 12000LM 72W 6500K, H11 H8 H9, Conversion Kit with 360ยฐ Adjustable Beam Angle โ€“ Halogen Replacement by Ben Boulanger

Nice update for 4Runner 2014+

The stock low beam headlights that came with my 2018 4Runner left a lot to be desired, to say the least. This is the third set of bulbs I have tried on my car and I am very impressed. I was brought here by BulbFacts on YouTube, which ranked them as the 2nd best projector bulb (Hikari Philips took first place, but the heatsink is too big to fit in my headlight housing). I switched from the OEM light to the Philips X-TremeVision, then to the Hikari Thunder and now to these KATANA lights. About 5 feet from the garage door I measured the following: OEM: 10,700 lux Philips X-TremeVision: 14,500 lux Hikari Thunder: 22,000 lux KATANA: 34,500 lux They are over 3 times brighter than the OEM bulbs used with my 4Runner were delivered! My only complaint is that the LED driver is quite bulky and the shielded cable is very stiff. It was like playing Tetris trying to fit everything into the headlight housing to reattach the factory dust cover.
