Review on πŸ’‘ Max5 H1 LED Headlight Bulbs: 10000 Lumens, 6000K Xenon White, COB Chips - Extremely Bright and Error-free by Hunter Siemon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For the money they are good. But there are caveats.

I bought these to replace the ones I got for $140 that didn't fit in my Q5's low beam housing and went in the high beam instead. So here's the kicker: - For $40 they're good. They're on the smaller side, which is handy, especially for the H7, which is cased rather than outdoors like the 9006 or H11. My loved ones were too long and wide to fit in, so they tucked into the high beam slot instead. - BUT! There's a definite difference in quality between the price points, so don't hope or think there isn't one. Expensive transparent white LEDs with high beam and clear light-dark boundary, also in halogen housing. You are missing in all these areas. They are pale yellow at the edges, have a more diffuse beam across the road, narrower and shorter beams in range, and a less defined edge. Also, one color is different from the other (see photo) and both are closer to 6500K than 6000K. So it all sucks - Pros: price, size, ease of installation - Cons: quality, clarity, consistency In short, I would these buy if I don't want to spend more than on halogen bulbs. Not sure how it will perform in the $80 range, but probably slightly better (feel free to test and compare), but I can say that the higher quality $120 and up brand does feel better has improved significantly. I gave (4) stars because they are cheap otherwise I would say (3). Also, they were literally four hours away at the time, so longevity is still in question. I would be surprised and happy if they make it 6 months; You should be getting this and more from similarly priced, possibly cleaner, high-quality halogen bulbs, so I guess it's not that big of a deal in that sense. It depends on you.
