    Default opinions on these LED headlight globes

    Hey guys, recently came across these LED headlights on ebay.
    The current 'Xenon' ones i have in my vs ute suck to be honest and give off a dull, yellowish light, even on highbeam.

    I was wondering if anyone has any idea how the LED headlights would work and whether its worth giving a shot for just a few bucks a pop? They would give off a fairly white, bright light which i assume is the main idea of the globes, then its up to the actual headlight itself to project the light outwards?

    They do H3 and H4 so they would obviously fit in the car, but would they work? highbeam/lowbeam?

    I have searched for info regarding brands and different types of globes for the headlights and found exactly what you said. I was just curious about these LEDs and wondering if anyone had tried them.

    They are the perfect mixture of white and blue, they don't look ricerish overdone yet they aren't that dull yellow either.
    Trust me, you won't be dissapointed.

    I put LED bulbs in my foglights in my Statesman and whilst they had a pretty colour they threw out a shit house amount of light. I imagine the ones you posted would be much the same.

    I suggested already the best bulbs to go for. Ebay brand isn't it.

    I had Phillips globes and these are far better.
    How can you justfiy the over expensive price of Phillips globes.
    My mate put me onto the eclipse ones, half the price and twice the better light output.
    He had phillips and they blew after 2 months, he's had the eclipse ones for a year and they are fine.
    Personal Preference I guess mate....
