Headlight Upgrade

[nissannewby]

You will find the headlight will still be halogen, HID or Xenon. They have Led parker things etc but I have not seen an actual low or hi beam led headlight either.

You could be right , I thought the new cars with a black housing & what looks like a Chrystal golf ball in the middle were LED , some of them are super bright intense white light so I assumed LED ,

& yeah I've seen the LED Parker lights , some are like a rope light looking setup , maybe Audi or BMW , not sure I'll have to take more notice.

That golf ball you see Adam is the Projector lens. It acts like a magnifying glass. So with this and a HID globe, its a no no to be aftermarket fitted here unfortunately. As the vehicles that do have these two combinations fitted from factory have self levelers fitted so the lights will dip downward a little when the car is facing upwards. This stops the blinding effect for oncoming traffic. Not that it helps a lot. Also they should be fitted with washers on the front of the lamp, the washers are supposed to squirt water on the lens to stop the lens from icing up, which will blind even more people.
The lights I had, were HID with projectors, but no levelers or washers. Plus they weren't ADR approved, so I had to remove them when I had the engineers done.

Washers are only required for xenon lights. Hid projectors fo not require them.

Follow on from original post---Finally received the LED lamps, and of course the large heat sink/fan housing makes it about impossible to hook up the retaining clips. I have since dropped that project-minus $60. Oh well.
Maybe I should just upgrade my IPF driving/spot lights.

Nowadays, Akarui LED is considered the best as an LED headlight. I also second the OPT7 Fluxbeam H11, but you can also see for some xenon or HID kits in this regard. Here are the best HID kits ( https://bestazy.com/best-hid-kit/ ) that you can replace with your halogen one.
