🔆 HIKARI 2021 Acme-X 9005/HB3 LED Bulbs, High Brightness & Wider Vision, All-in-One Design, Halogen Replacement, Cool White 6000K, IP68 Rated Foglight Review

First of all, the build quality is very high. I bought LED headlights for my car last year, the quality of these LED headlights is top notch. Okay, now the light beam is pure white at night, visibility has improved a lot. In total darkness, everything on the road ahead is clearly visible and the field of view is increased compared to my old LED headlights. The size of the entire headlight is surprisingly small and fits perfectly in the headlight housing of my 2014 Rav4. The size of my previous…

Super bright headlights with amazing beam pattern. I've had "shadow" issues with several other fixtures I've purchased and can say I haven't noticed any issues with the beam pattern or intensity. Installs on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee in less than 10 minutes. At first I had a problem with the system because I thought the headlights weren't working due to the reduced power consumption, but I contacted Hikari with my order information and they quickly told me which decoders I needed and also gave me a…

The 9005 version of this light has a design flaw that allows the mounting ring to detach from the light once it has been inserted and locked. The lug set ring is only held in place by the rear rubber rings on the outside of the light, however there is no set screw to prevent the light from slipping out of the ring. Very poor design, the light has come out of the ring twice since we installed them yesterday, we are now trying to determine the best course of action to fix the problem permanently.

I mostly drive at night and can only see well in the low beam with these headlights. They were installed in the 2019 Kia Niro and use the same bulb (9005/HB3) for low and high beam. This also makes the high beams a lot brighter and I can see how far it's projected at a greater distance. My previous LED headlights were Hikari 2020 and while they were brighter than the halogen headlights, these 2021 models are better than the previous model. Size was a concern for me as there isn't much room in…

The brightest LEDs I've ever bought, the only thing I don't like is how the dimming works. It just spins freely with little to no tension, and there's no way to tighten it to hold it in place. It's nice that you can adjust it to make sure the 12/6 o'clock (top and bottom) LEDs are aligned so that the 3/9 o'clock (left and right) LEDs reflect, but there's nothing to fix it to tighten stays that way. Simply twisting the LED free is a problem on my Ram 1500 as the wires are a bit short and this…

I've been using HID for quite some time now. But they made me a digital LED way. Now let me say that I installed them in a pair of headlights that use PROJECTORS and not reflectors. They make much better use of lumens and unnecessary reflective light patterns. These bulbs have more intensity than other LED headlights I've seen. The beam pattern isn't perfect with some shaded areas on the bottom and sides. I'm still very happy with the pattern as it has strong intensity right in front of me and…

I also upgraded a 2017 Kia Niro that previously had Hikari Ultras installed. The most notable improvement over Ultras is the smoothness of the light pattern. I find this gives me a better view at a much greater distance. At this point I can honestly say that I trust Hikari. Especially when I notice that my ultras show no signs of heat. I've been using them for over a year now and they look brand new (no discoloration so they definitely don't overheat. Swapping out the Ultras for the new Acme…

Wow, that's all I can say about it. Revane said it wouldn't fit, but the number 9005 lamp was what we needed for bright light. Our Corolla came with standard LED headlights but halogen headlights. We've tried a few other brands before, but the radiation pattern was patchy and scattered. So at some point we will return to the standard halogens. These things are very bright and reflect well in our Corolla's body. The only difficulty was unscrewing the driver's side battery metal bracket, sliding…

I bought a new 2021 Hyundai Elantra in December 2020 and the car has standard color temperature projection headlights with 6000k LED daytime running lights above them. I looked everywhere for an LED headlight to match this car as each headlight is both a low beam and a high beam and I wanted the headlight and daytime running lights to match in colour. Also, I wanted a brighter spotlight because turning on the brighter optics doesn't really change much, you can just see things above/further away
