@@RetrofitSource Hi! Very informative review. Are these brighter than an H11 halogen Sylvania silverstar ultra bulb in a reflector type of headlight? Specifically in down road (beam throw) lighting or would the difference be negligible?

I have these in my 2019 Subaru Impreza sport and love them. The high beams in the sport are not used for the DRL. I tried a set in our 2013 Outback which does use the high beams for the DRL and they would not work. I tried an anti fickler module you guys suggested but no joy. I'm not sure why I was hoping they would run at the low power DRL but for whatever reason Subaru's setup didn't do that. I was able to return the module no problem, your customer service took good care of me. I moved the bulbs to my Impreza :)

@Nayr747

@@marcoyuen6556 I don't think that's how this works. A heatsink is designed to collect heat from some other area (the LEDs in this case) and move it away. The air leaving the the heatsink must be hotter than the incoming air or there would be no purpose to the fan at all. The outlet from that heatsink is pointed directly at the LEDs. So this is taking the heat produced by the LEDs and then instead of pulling that heat away it's blowing it right back onto them. If the outlet was angled away from the LEDs slightly (there seems to be nothing preventing this so not sure why they didn't do it) that would make some sense but it's not. This design is kinda stupid.

@yoshiishida6577

@@Nayr747 Intake side is LH half of the bulb, where cool air rushed into while directly exchange the heat from LED location and PCB core. The rear box circulates airflow and pushes out from the RH half of the bulb. Yes, this exhaust is hot, hotter than the incoming air. But it still is cooler than the LED chip itself = heat exchange will occur. Also, exhaust jet velocity is much higher than the intake side. This pulls surrounding air into the jet and runs along with the LED front body RH side. It looks like blowing back, but flow dynamics are a bit different, and it still is pulling the heat from the LED. In a typical LED bulb, solid metal material only can dissipate a very small amount from natural convection near LED. Thermal conduction is handled by metal solid body internal travel to the opposing end to finally exchange the heat. And there also is hot air wrapping around the LED chip and its natural convection velocity is so much smaller than 2st3.0 exhaust velocity. 2st3.0 can blow the hot air surrounding the LED chip away more effectively. Any questions, feel free to ask me.

Why are they not street legal?

Legislation in the U.S. doesn't allow for ANY aftermarket headlight that isn't factory, including HID or LED. I think the same technically applies for taillights as well. Though the likelihood of being pulled over and ticketed is low, TRS (and most resellers) can't officially sell them as headlight bulbs. The U.S. has always been behind as far a lighting technology is concerned.

No LED or HID bulb out there is street legal, this is due to DOT regulation. Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help!

The law does not effect taillights, but other than that you got it! It is due to goverment regulations, I wish we could offer those for your headlights! Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, we are here to help!

"These bulbs are not legal for use in headlights here in North America, exclusively for off-road vehicles only--They are however 100% street legal to use in a fog light" There's gonna be many "fog light" purchases ahaha

Does this mean if I buy these headlights for my Ford escape 2017 I could get pulled over and get a ticket or will I be fine? I'm in Massachusetts if that matters.

Petty that you tried to take a cheap shot at HR

No suchthing!

Even if that’s the case for not street legal, lots of people will still be driving led on the headlights. Regardless. I would love to mount them on my low beam headlights. Plus, I don’t have fog lights 🤣 There some other automotive vehicles that are very very bright. So this shouldn’t be a problem, especially when we live up north I. Illinois.

You will note, nowhere does he say how freaking expensive these things are. $250 for LED lightbulbs? Who are they kidding, overpaid single males earning 6 figures not knowing what to do with their money? Thanks, but No, thanks!

@@RetrofitSource Hi, do you know whether Morimoto has also applied for a patent for 2Stroke 3.0 LED bulbs in Canada?

And I'm sure every person who buys these will most definitely obey the law, and would never think of putting them in the headlights of an on-road vehicle. I for one would be totally willing to spend $200 on a pair of bulbs that will solely be used in my fog housings.

Absolutely, they couldn't possibly work in any other application but the fog lights!😄
