Product Description

LED headlights are popular because they save power, they’re brighter than factory halogen bulbs and they make cars look cooler. However, LED lights need to be housed and aimed properly in order to perform correctly, and this is where many LED upgrade kits fall short.

Even the high beam isn’t much better, which makes the bulb useless in a reflector headlight. A two-sided LED headlight is much better and produces a usable amount of light on both low and high beams.

These bulbs claim a lifespan of 50,000 hours, which is the equivalent of 5.7 years for most drivers. That’s plenty of time to cover the cost of the replacement bulbs.
