Quality LED Bulbs vs. Garbage LED Bulbs! #shorts

The LED bulb you choose for your vehicle is critical to performance - not all LED bulbs are built the same!

No wonder! Getting glare more and more often when driving at night. People getting unrated LED bulbs not fit for application!

The Amazon bulb should be illegal to sell, it’s dangerous to blind people like that.

Diving home at night on an empty hwy and have headlights that look like they have their high beams on is infuriating

[KuntalGhosh]

The only use for those garbage leds are in farm vehicles that you only drive in private property and would benifit from the light going in all directions. You would blind any incoming traffic with those garbage 360 leds😂

Need much better headlight regulation, especially on hilly rural roads, when someone comes over the hill with those Death Star rays on it’s instant blindness

[Sgt-lott]

As someone with astigmatism I hate these overly bright bulbs, even in the passenger seat I cannot see my lane when someone passes by with overly bright headlights so the controlled beam of light really should be the standard

As a fellow driver on the road.... Thank You so very much for this.

The biggest downside to upgrading incandescent to led headlights (when using the good bulbs) is that they are so much brighter that people think your high-beams are on, and flash you. Just compare the yellow beam at the beginning with the white beam at the end, which is so bright, the camera is clipping. It’s important to have bulbs that produce light from the exact same location so that the parabolic reflector aims that light to the correct place on the road and not blind oncoming traffic. It’s perfectly legal to sell non DOT equipment, but they leave it up to you to honor the fact they are not road legal, and not use them in public roads.

Had no idea a bulb could make such a difference! Thanks

So, for anyone wondering, the stock reflectors are designed for a point light source where the filament would be located using a stock bulb. Even if you took that stock bulb and moved it forward or backward a centimeter or so it would completely change the beam pattern because the light would be reflected at a different angle than it was designed for. Therefore, when you stick a poorly designed LED bulb in there that has light sources spread out all over it, the pattern that gets reflected will be all over the place too. That is why a quality LED replacement bulb has only two small high intensity LED chips placed at a specific point so that it can mimic the filament the reflector was designed for. Most vehicles that come with LED headlights from the factory have a completely different style of reflector from the ones used by filament based bulbs so that it can be tuned to the particular size and shape of the LED chip being used.

As someone who works night shift and has an astigmatism, bulbs like the garbage ones should be illegal to use on the road. It’s not hard to tell when someone is using a cheap LED bulb because they completely blind me even when I’m looking at the edge of the road. Really wish there were tighter restrictions on stuff like this that is a safety concern

The problem with headlights today is they're brighter than high beams. It blinds you. What do high beams constitute? In the past, you'd be pulled over and sited for having your brights on.

I work midnight hours on the road, so I encounter these blinding lights continually. I bought the yellow lens night glasses to wear and an anti-glare rearview mirror to help ease the oncoming and behind death ray lights! I doubt these led lights are going away anytime soon. Many people are entirely too self-centered to care about others' safety.

[FantasticMoist]

I prefer the first bulb, usable in most conditions without blinding other drivers. Also yellow lighting makes roads so much more definable to me.

[wyliecoyote]

Beam pattern, hot spots, shotgun lighting...good analysis of headlight operation. Thanx for sharing. I'll stay with the OEM recommended bulbs.👍

[jarredhagie]

Really wish more people knew the science behind this. Extremely useful if your gonna upgrade your lights. For the people that are running full light bars in broad daylight or anytime on the highway yall need your license revoked.

[Nobodyfukoff]

It also blinds any poor bastard driving at you. Things like that should be beyond illegal.

[JohnnyBravoGn]

The way you cursed the garbage bulb is quite funny..lol

[compmanio]

Your channel helped me with a lot of decision making when it came to upgrading my halogens to LEDs. Good info here. I'm glad to see most people around me that have done the same bought the right bulbs and made sure they were installed correctly.

No wonder purple blind me when I'm driving
