#4500K HID VS HALOGEN UPGRADE#

The main thing will be looking at width of beam, cutoff sharpness, foreground light and hot spot intensity. Anyways lets jump into the data! I will provide output shots and information about the bulb wattage, amp draw and lux for each over the course of a few posts.

When it comes to LEDs and HID's you really get what you pay for. Over the years I have matured in my purchasing habits knowing where I can skimp on parts and where I can't specifically to lighting this is very important. Just as a understanding I do not pay for my retrofits as in I do all my own work/retrofitting and purchase all my own parts. I do no like Halogen for the most part but its dead simple and cheap. I've always been a big fan of HID due to the brightness and longevity of most of the parts.

I've never been a big fan of LED for cars as I don't believe the technology is there just yet but they are getting very close! Most good automotive LED options are usually application specific and thus not useable as universal part to retrofit. My data I'm about to provide is not universal but just a comparison in my setup with my specific parts but you will see drastic differences which should help you narrow down your process.

In an attempt to help the next person who might be interested in doing an upgrade I like to provide facts so a better more informed decision can be made. I'm a big fan of lighting and have done lots of retrofits and probably have thousands invested in lighting equipment for my vehicles including just boxes of parts like Ballasts, HID bulbs, projectors, harnesses, adapters etc. I hate it when I want to get more information about a product that I want to buy or just to figure out if its something I would be interested in just to find no information anywhere on the internet, forums or even the manufacture website.
