Can't wait to see these tonight Options

[Rleog]

Not being hyper critical here and I realize how difficult it is to capture these differences in photos.

Your 1st photo demonstrates a difference in intensity between left and right but the camera position is offset to the right (passenger) side of the car. This seems to show even the right fog light slightly more intense than the left fog light.

All photos show the LED light spectrum shifted more toward the blue than the incandescent bulb.

Very interested to see more. Thanks.

So what about the LED lights you've been working on and how do they compare to the silverstars?

Silverstar is on the driver's side; LED headlight on the passenger's side.

These are one of the LEDs that we have got in. Yes pictures make it more difficult to actually show brightness. I figured I'd do a short video so you don't just get a single, (potentially easily manipulated )photograph. Yes you can manipulate video, but for what we are doing here it should suit it's purpose. Now just need to get a fuel pump and swap it out for tonight.

Yes these do have more blue in the spectrum of light emitted, I suppose that's why it looks more like daylight.

These are waterproof, so they are the best we have seen so far. Supposed to be DOT approved, but I'm not seeing the documentation. We have a request in with the manufacturer. I would suspect that on product quality they would pass, but there are other issues. These are significantly more than what the other lower quality ones were selling for. we brought in 3 different types. These were the best in build quality we could find.

So at this point the Silverstar is a favorite over the led? and in the movie no fog's please.

These do the same thing for $6 a pair and keep the beam pattern as designed by those whizzes at Hella and Cibie. 80/85w and 4300k. Optional in 80/100w.
eBay listing

Those are HID, so no. They should have dedicated HID projectors inside housings. And for $6, you can guess how long they'll last.

Yeah I learned my lesson with electronics. Not putting anything in my car with that much Chinese writing on it. If (WHEN) it breaks it's not worth returning. That's the gimmick.

Nice progress Mike! Andy is going to get after you for having your passenger turn signal lens installed upside down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) !

Wow biased much? Also you are a poor reader. These are H4 80/85w halogen bulbs. HID is part of the marketing hype because of the color tint.

Also Option is a JAPANESE brand. Though it is made in China and the price is consistent for Chinese halogen bulbs.

I have a pair of HID H4 bulbs and in E-code housings that are awesome. In DOT housings they glare too much, plus the pattern is inferior.

The 914 is not my daily car, so if Mark & Matt found an LED bulb that is equal/better I'd like to know about it.

Silverstar is my preferred sealed beam incandescent.

Dammit Mikey914.....

Sorry my show tomorrow is 4 am . Got to get some sleep. I did get some new housings to check out too.

No those are Chinese want-to-be HID. They say halogen on the box and HID and Xenon. They are basically a halogen withe a pearlescent coating on the glass. Basically junk.

[Mikey914]

These are LED. Phillips chips which are supposed to be the best.
You guys think I'm tying to rip you off????
Come on, you know me. I stand behind what I sell and wouldn't sell it if I wouldn't use it.

SO tried to get more of the Bosch H4 units. Found they don't make them anymore. Then ordered the Hella version and found this

[Mikey914]

I did find a unit at less than 1/2 the cost. Still glass (no plastic). May be the best bang for the buck, but will probably stock both.

I did also some comparison last Fall.

Is there an Amazon equivalent of the #4 light? Thanks...

[Steve]

I've been running the GE nighthawks for over a year. They work great. All my other lights are also LED. Either from spoke or Walmart

[bandjoey]

Is it just me as a slow learner or

between all the world threads and the pelican threads, I'm still confused (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It's like each new discovery is the best in the west.

I have a set of Hella E lens and german H4 bulbs sitting on the table because these were so super duper about 6 months ago and don't want to take them out of the box while waiting on all of the comparisons settle out.

The photos on all of the threads against the garage wall are not showing me driving condition lighting.

What I really want to see is a behind the wheel picture of the differences. I was waiting on the 914Rubber LED bulb from a prior thread to arrive and now this comes out.

I tested an other LED which looks the same, and is cheaper, but there is a big difference in the output.

Some pictures not against the garage door, but down the driveway.

Here is a picture with Hella H4 55/60 Watt
