I know quite a few of you were curious as to how my new !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! would turn out. Well, I’m happy to finally be able to report back. I’ve now had them installed for about a week and have put them through multiple hours of testing. Here are my findings.

First, a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in case you are interested in buying. What drew me to these bulbs? The first was the color. At 6000K, they are white with just a hint of blue showing through. I spent a lot of time trying to find a color that would match my OEM daytime running light which is a string of LEDs on the V6 Accords. They have a slight blue tint to them and ironically were brighter than the OEM halogen headlight bulb, but didn’t have nearly the projection.

Second, these headlights are completely self contained and plug-and-play. Unlike an HID kit which requires ballasts and wires, or even some LED kits which have separate power boxes or copper strips, these are just the light, an attached fan, and the one wire which plugs directly into the OEM harness.

Third, for the price, it is pretty hard to find anything comparable. The pair that I use have a COB chip inside and run under $40. However, if you want to have the possibility for more reliability, LASFIT also sells a set with a Phillips LED chip !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on Amazon. Most any other kit will cost nearly double.

LED installed

On to installation. Obviously, every car will be different. In theory, the install should be fairly simple. You can clearly see the headlights when you pop the hood. All you do is disconnect the wire harness from the bulb, twist, and pull it out. Then, plug the new bulb in, twist, and connect the harness. On the 4 cylinder Honda,at least from the videos I’ve seen, there’s a decent amount of space to work. The 6 cylinder on the other hand, is much larger than the 4 cylinder. You can barely fit one large hand in there. Two hands becomes a joke. Working in such a small space, with metal bars and a battery in the way is very annoying. Even worse is when you plug them in upside down and have to try and flip a wire to make them work.

Now,because these are self-contained, the bulb is a lot larger than stock. I could see this being an issue on some cars, including my old Volvo C30. So keep that in mind. Once installed an on, you will hear some fan noise. This is how they supposedly won’t fade or overheat. During my time with them, including a 45 minute drive, I saw no fade. The fan noise is audible only if everything else is off. As soon as the engine is on, the fan noise is drowned out. This was with the radio and AC off, and all windows and sunroof open.

For some reason though, the bulb on my driver side is a bit louder and rattles a bit more than the one on my passenger side. I tried reinstalling it several times, but it just seems a bit more loose. I don’t know if this is a bulb issue or a car issue or what. It isn’t much more, but there is a definite difference.

New LED vs fog light

Even in daylight, the difference in color was instantly noticeable. Gone was the yellow halogen look and in was the crisp white light. Honestly, it made the car look brand new because of the color. As you can see, compared to my fog light (which uses the same bulb) the difference is night and day. I’ve had to turn off my fog lights as of now because of this. Night time, however, is when these bulbs really shine.

The first thing I noticed is how much wider the light beam is. It’s about as wide as my high beams made my original halogens. What impressed me, however, was the distance they produced. A lot of LED headlights are put down because they simply cannot throw a light beam far enough. Now, compared to a good set of HIDs, I can see where they are coming from. However, these are completely on par with the original halogens. It isn’t that much better, but I am not losing much if any output power.

Beam pattern along a building

The beam pattern is very consistent and they didn’t need any adjustments. The light is a very good height and the cutoff is nearly perfect. I guess having OEM projector style housings helped a lot. I’m sure the light would be very scattered if that was not the case. After hours of night driving, I have not been “flashed” for my lights being too bright. There is a little bit of excess light in the foreground of the car. It isn’t a huge deal breaker, but it is there.

Now, time for a photo dump for all the pics I have leftover!

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with how these turned out. Installation wasn’t too bad, (would’ve been fine if I had smaller hands) the color was exactly what I wanted, and so far I haven’t had any issues with distance or brightness.

Any questions? Feel free to ask away.

Big thanks to LASFIT for letting me try these lights out. The review published above, however, was entirely mine and was written completely unbiased. I received these bulbs for the sake of reviewing but was not compensated by the company.

How good are they at blinding oncoming traffic?

Beware of major backlash from Oppo.

/was blinded by a car with bright-ass HID lights earlier this morning. Couldn’t see worth a damn where I was going at one point.

Honestly haven’t been flashed for them being too bright once

Compared to a lot the retrofit hid kits, these aren’t as bad because the car has a projector style housing.

From directly head on, its the same as my dad’s V60 which as factory xenons.

I’ll try to get a picture of both side by side when it gets dark tonight

Did he have projector housings though? because that is what makes a big difference

Cars with HID or LED headlights from the factory have levelers that respond to the suspension moving up and down. Halogen projector housings are better than reflector housings when it comes to upgrading the bulbs but they still don’t have levelers so you’ll get more glare when the car bounces over bumps.

Awesome!! I’ve been looking for an actually good set of LED driving lamps...tired of trial and error with crap that doesn’t have enough lumens.

How do you like your new Smart? does it still have he charm of tucker?

It’s better than Tucker!! Like oh my god that turbo is intoxicating. The only truly annoying thing about it is that it has reflector housings for its headlights...which is weird as the 451s had projectors...The light output of my car is horrendous.

I’m sold.

I’ve been patiently waiting for the LED headlight tech to become fully practical. I’m also sick of the “bright white” halogen bulbs only lasting 10 months and they cost over $50 CAD a pair.

I’m normally very against retrofitting xenons or LEDs into factory housings because of the optics involved, but these *actually* look pretty OK. We may finally be getting to the point where LED replacements for halogen bulbs are actually viable, at least in applications like this where you’re working with decent projectors to begin with.

I had a 2010 Accord Coupe V6 myself, and my low beams & fog lights both got high-intensity (65w) halogen bulb replacements because I was never satisfied with how any kind of xenon or LED replacement looked — too much glare, poor beam spread, etc.

Those bright white Silverstar Ultra things were what I used in the C30. And yes, the color was nicer, but mine lasted 9.5 months before I had to file a claim to get them to ship me some new ones. And they are really expensive

I need something for my fogs badly. They just look sad now.

Exactly why I got both sets

6000k is way too blue for me. I even have found that 4300k is too white really. I think yellow has grown on me as a more useful headlight color. I really want to try installing 3000k and see how that feels. Maybe that is just the HID color though since your LED setup looks a little more natural in color.

Ehh still not as bad as the assholes driving around with high beams on anyways. At least 20% of cars on dark roads do not dim high beams with oncoming traffic. So I end up blind even with people with dim stock lights.

I have the LASFIT bulbs too on my ‘07 SI. They are very good, but I expected people to flash me. Not once so far.

quote “ A lot of LED headlights are put down because they simply cannot throw a light beam far enough... . However, these are completely on par with the original halogens.” so, basically, they are a higher color temperature but don’t throw any more total illumination?
