We Do Lighting Better Because We Test!

I just added some Nilight 9007 LEDs to my 2005 Grand Caravan with reflector housings. I also did the fog lights as well. It has a great beam pattern and seems to work very well. And no I dont use my fog lights all the time. Only when needed in certain weather conditions. Thanks for your videos! They are very informative and helped me make my decision to upgrade!

2:50 Led conversions also have ballasts or drivers whatever you want to call them but I've never seen an LED conversion that didnt have a little box like that to power the LED...

Can you recommend me for 2014 Kia Sorento LX thanks

I thought you cannot change a reflector headlight with LED bulbs.. so you just have to find a similar position fillament/LED on choosing the bulb type/brand/model? but that would be a but cumbersome to find exact same location of the bulbs wont you say?

Still waiting for test of the Projector Truck-Lite 7" which replaced the long lived 7" reflector

Would it be safe to say that when a bi-xenon projector is in the low beam mode that the projector is only outputting around half of the total available light?

What would you recommend for a 2013 Ford escape. I bought LEDs before and they will not stay on. Thanks in advance

06 ram. Really deciding on morimoto hid 50 watt 5k for pure white but also want a better beam pattern. I seen videos on reflectors almost tripling the lux numbers. More usable light. What should I do ? Also want a D2S for the retrofit

Does the Honda civic EX-L 2017 have a projector or reflector housing??

I recently purchased a pair of Anzo’s aftermarket headlights, according to their site, they claim that we shouldn’t use anything but halogen bulbs..But I upgraded anyway with LEDs..Can anyone recommend a good bulb for these model lights? Thanks!..joe

10:15-10:20 Where in Title 49 of the United States Code dose it say that?! I've looked everywhere in it, and found ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about that!

I'm not sure I agree with this guy. My son has a 2017 Impala with halogen projector headlights and he replaced the bulbs with LED and it doesn't seem very bright. I have a 21 Chevy Silverado with reflector style headlights with halogen bulbs and I put LEDs in mine and they are 10 times brighter and way brighter than his projector style headlights with LEDs
