Hey guys, ive decided I want to try some LED headlights. Ive done a bit of digging and found the following.
I really liked the Opt7 Fluxbeam kit and have read many good reviews but I have discovered they have a problem for scattering light in reflector housings ( which is what my car has).
Now, I've found a 'glare gaurd mod' which seems to help but im unsure if this is the route I want to take.
I've also found two sets of Philips bulbs with a proper 'glare sheild?' built in.
This is the first set.
$98 and they claim 80w per bulb and 8000lm per bulb.
They use 5w Philips Lumileds so im assuming there is a combined 20w per low/high section.
WAY oversize pic
This is the second set
As you can see they're a lot more expensive at $180
They use Philips ETI 15w led's and claim 30w and 4-5000lm per side. They also appear to have an external driver/controller.
WAY oversize pic
Can somebody break this down for me? I have a feeling the cheaper ones are over-quoting the output. But are they expensive pair really worth the extra cash? Will I still be happy with the first set?
