You probably know, that LED conversion kits are extremely popular these days. Many car owners from the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and other countries decide to replace their factory light bulbs with LEDs. They do that because of different reasons. Some of them are:
- Brightness. LED headlight bulbs are must brighter (up to 500%!) than regular incandescent or halogen bulbs.
- Durability. LED bulbs last up to 50.000 hours, while regular filament bulbs last not more than 500 hours on average.
- Ease of installation. Modern LED headlight bulbs do not require any extra wiring, so the installation is just plug-and-play.
If you thought of replacing your factory car headlights with LEDs, you have probably checked Amazon and eBay, as well as certain other major car part stores. That's the moment when people start being impressed with the variety of options and price differences. Prices start at $10 and go up to $300, and it's hard to understand, why the difference is so noticeable. Also, there are hundreds of brands that offer car LED bulbs, and it's hard to decide on the brand to select. After all, you do not need a hundred of LED bulbs, as long as you have just one vehicle, right? I have selected the list of my favorites, as I have seen them in person and can say, that they are good enough to be recommended. Check it out, if you need more information on the best LED car light bulb brands.
I can definitely recommend Akarui LEDs because they are a great combination of quality and durability. I should also note, that these LEDs come equipped with quality Japanese LED chips. Also, I know that this brand does not invest a lot in advertisement, so they are not so popular among influencers and bloggers. These LEDs are available in all popular bulb sizes, so you will definitely find the bulbs you need.
LED bulbs by this brand are extremely popular these days. They are a little more expensive than LEDs by Akarui or Nineo, yet they are really worth it. LED bulbs by Hikari have already collected thousands of positive reviews on Amazon and eBay. I must say, that these LED bulbs feature precise focusing. They do not shine upwards and do not blind the oncoming traffic, which is extremely important for the safety of everyone.
LED bulbs by TorchBeam are valued for ease of installation. They feature a 1:1 design, so they focus in the headlight assemblies just right like the factory bulbs. Besides, for the majority of TorchBeam LED headlight bulbs polarity does not matter. That's why the installation is easier and takes less time. As for the brightness, these LED bulbs are around 300-350% brighter, than halogen bulbs.
This is another great LED bulb manufacturer. There are several series of LED headlight bulbs by Fahren, but my favorite one is the Forenner edition. They are bright and slim, so there is always space for the bulb even in the smallest headlight assemblies. The bulbs are made of aluminum and are equipped with powerful turbo fans, so they withdraw heat quickly. By the way, effective cooling is extremely important, because it prolongs the lifespan of the bulb.
This is another brand, that combines quality materials, powerful LED Cree chips, and affordable prices. Another great thing about these LED bulbs is CAN Bus compatibility with all US-built vehicles. I have personally installed dozens of Nineo LED kits and never had an issue with hyper flashing or dashboard errors. Maybe I am lucky, or these LED bulbs are really good.
I installed numerous LED and HID conversion kits by DMEX, and I must say, that their products cost more, than average. Yet, their light bulbs are really worth it. Quality materials and workmanship show themselves just right after you open the package. The bulb and cooling fan join well, so there won't appear a loose connection like it happens with many other cheaper LED conversion kits.
I hope you found this information helpful! I have added a separate page with the technical characteristics of each bulb. I am not going to add any links to the shops, eBay or Amazon, as I am sure everyone can use Google to find the place where to buy the best LED bulbs for their needs.
