Awesome video - we appreciate the support!

Simply the best company IMO for aftermarket LEDs. I only run Diode Dynamics LED/Lights in my truck now.

I just ordered a set of SL1 LEDs for my Ford Escape Titanium. I cannot wait to see the difference they will make! Thank you for the great video!

[georgevesta]

Thanks for the review on these, they must be of some decent quality to have videos on them. Grabbing a pair asap.

[eatcommies]

Just placed a order for 2020 Tacoma headlight low beam and led fog light assembly. Hope I won’t be disappointed... Great review!!!

[zachstuff]

Great walk thru on these headlights! Sweet sticker! Just got my headlights in and getting ready to install them!

[kerrygibbs]

I think Diode Dynamics has a reputation for quality. Most others try to sell with fantastic claims, lies and low cost. In the future I plan to use DD because if quantity and reliability.

[loveever]

In America, I trusted all my auto lighting to Diode Dynamic. The Best!!

[willroberts]

Awesome video! Been looking at the Diode Dynamics SL1 LEDs for a while. Going to get a pair for the high beems in my '19 Escape SEL. By the way, I watched all the way to the end man... sticke... sunglasses... I want them!!!

Just installed the SL-1’s on my Ram 1500 with reflector headlamps yesterday. It made a huge difference in visibility! I plan on ordering another set for my 2019 Highlander with projector style headlights. I hope it makes the same kind of improvement 🤞

Very tempted to get these but I've had 2-3 of their LED tail lights, license plate bulbs and trunk lights just up and die on me. Threw in Sylvania LEDs in their place and had zero issues.

I just installed a pair of @diodedynamics SL1's yesterday in my sonata's projectors, they are top quality and easy to install. I have to play with either the aim, or the collar bc they are all over at the moment. Hopefully I can get them sorted bc these are super bright and a perfect match to my led driving lights

I’ve been watching your reviews on this channel and your new channel, car light reviews. Thanks for your work and detailed info! I’m looking for a halogen to LED conversion for my projectors. While they are older, I’m into the SL1 three year warranty and apparent QC offered with these lights. I know there are higher performers out of the box, today;however, is quality a trade off with those? - high performing LEDs that die off in a year or two may not be worth the investment if the SL1 is quantitatively superior to OEM and will out last the competition. Please share your thoughts. Have you considered adding a longevity test to your metrics?

[Maratrac]

I really need to replace the sealed beam lights on m '02 Trans Am with truck lights and these LEDs. Thanks Jason.

[leebub]

looks real nice but I did all vette lights after watching your other video!

[rotitnhoj]

Do you prefer these or the Precision LED lights? Trying to decide what I should upgrade the wife to. Thanks for the uploads!

[codyberger]

Can you do an update on these on your new channel?

[Ksport]

Do you drive in rain /inclement weather often? How does the led color impact vision during high moisture content air? Is there a lot of wash out? Any dark spots? 300 more lumens over a halogen bulb doesn't do much if it isn't in the right places...I'm still not a true believer in aftermarket LED drop ins....

[eastwood]

How are these bulbs in a projection lense?

[abhishekpanthangi]

Hey Jason.. I drive 2019 Honda CR-V. I would like to upgrade my headlights and fog lights from
Halogen to LED. Does diode dynamics sell lights for Honda? Do you have any video where i can see the brightness?
