Headlight Led Upgrade

[Tunes4us]

Looks better, can’t wait to hear your nighttime driving impressions. Interesting that Amazon says it doesn’t fit the telluride

Well, just took it for a short drive and I’m disappointed. The color and everything is great, but the light patterns are all out of wack, it’s actually harder to see. Thinking it’s a mix of 2 things: general headlight adjustment and/ or I incorrectly installed the bulbs at the wrong rotation (the plug is pointed differently for each headlight...didn’t think that mattered). I will reassess tomorrow and maybe try reinstalling them with the plug pointed down for each headlight and see what happens.

Anyone have any tips?

**UPDATE** flipped the bulbs around so the plugs were facing down and that helped tremendously. Took a drive down the street and instantly noticed the road paint, street signs, and reflectors were reflecting the light way better than stock bulbs. Can’t say these LEDs are much brighter than stock bulbs, but they’re at least as bright as stock bulbs but with way better color and look great. That’s all I was really looking for, so I’m happy!

Good to hear you figured out the correct mounting orientation!

You also noticed the same thing I noticed....the "black light" pop on road paint and street signs. That is definitely better than stock. Did you notice uneven spots in front of the vehicle? That probably due to the dual sided nature of the bulb. Maybe a 3 or 4 side bulb would eliminate the dark uneven spots.

Barely. It’s there, but doesn’t bother me enough, and I consider myself pretty picky. Could be the dual sided bulb, or also limitations of the halogen projector. A small trade-off, if you ask me.

Next thing to do is upgrade the rear license plate bulbs to LED and the outside lighting will be complete! Just gotta find the correct bulb size...

Installed mine tonight, looks great! Matches the DRLs perfectly and look nice and bright. (DRLs are on, just didn’t come out in the pics) Will report back on driving impressions soon.

Looks really good, it makes a significant difference.

Here’s a pic I took after my quick spin...cut off and spread still look nice, and the color is perfect. Looks how it should from the factory. Don’t mind that glare above the cut off, that’s just a reflection bouncing off my Honda.

I didn't do a back-to-back comparison, but I didn't notice a significant decrease in brightness, if any at all. I will say they're probably not much brighter but I found the stock bulbs to be pretty bright already.

I ordered does anyone know if these work with the telluride and also does the high beam and low beam work in the same projector? Like just one bulb? So if i install this i should have white high and low beam?

It's one bulb used for both low beam and high beam. Therefore, you only need 1 bulb per headlight. Those have more diodes than the Sealight ones, let me know what you think of them!

I am going to install them and see how they are

Pretty good color match with drl

Had to take the bulbs back and swap with a different style.

They are the ones I just exchanged for a different style like 10 minutes ago. Will report back the finding on the newly acquired set.

Looks great from the photos. Do you know the specs on these new bulbs? Or any pics of the new bulbs?
