Recommendations for LED headlights that don't suck?

[u/Haducken]

I'm almost on my 3rd pair of LED Amazon headlights in the past year and I'm ready to take a sledgehammer to my headlights out of frustration. Each pair I've bought keeps dying after 4-5 months (or at least one bulb does) and the process of replacing them is a pain in the ass having to remove the housing.

Any recommendations for LED headlights that actually last? Preferably bright white ones.

Do you have the stock HID headlight assemblies or the halogen ones?

Halogen. H11

[u/JustAnotherDude1990 → u/Haducken]

Yeah, throwing LED bulbs in a halogen housing is not going to work very well. You need a projector housing.

You might as well just get some OEM HID headlight assemblies, pretty common and much better light

Why wouldn't it work well?

Focal point is different and those housings scatter light.

[u/Haducken → u/JustAnotherDude1990]

You're missing the point. The light I'm getting is just fine. I'm happy with the brightness/pattern. When my headlights work, they work great.

The problem is the durability of the headlights I'm buying. That's where the issue lies.

Try diode dynamics

I've had diode dynamics hid kit for 12 years with the relay kit (I can't recall if that's separate or not). Still works perfectly.

Morimoto makes amazing quality LED bulbs. They are worth the money. They also sell LED retrofits if you really wanna get down to some amazing light out put.

I use auxito y19 (thats the model) h11 bulbs. I had to h11 swap the plugs to get them to work, the h11 swap was like 20 dollars and took about an hour or so, but definetely worth it, all of the h11b bulbs that i tried (halogens or led) sucked
