@@MiguelRPD I run the Precision LED Kepler Series bulb (same as Katana but from different brand) for headlights in my '01 Honda Insight with an H4 socket. This particular bulb style produces the best cutoff line and overall output in reflectors I've seen amongst any LED bulbs. I also run the original SV-4 for fogs, lows, and highs in my mom's '10 Rav 4 LTD and absolutely love the heck out of them! Performance in any weather is great.

Thanks for the awesome video! From my research, it looks like the ProX are good for low beam projector applications but not for high beams if your high beams are also your DRLs as they will not dim down enough and draw enough power for the DRLs in most cars. However it does look like the standard Saber Pro’s do dim down enough for most cars’ DRLs to function as well. Would you happen to know more about this Jason? I’m thinking ProX for low beams and Pro for high/drl’s if that’s the case and as long as it wouldn’t matter that the low beams are higher wattage than the high beams.

This was very nice and, as usual, very informative. Thanks a lot! I believe that this video is comparable to all the others you've made. If its not immposilble or pointless, i'd love to see my IPF 341 HLB or one of the newest 341 HLB2, 101 HLB2, 301 HLB2...Thanks a lot keep up the good work.

I bought them from, an Ebay Japannese seller that had excelent feedback, and they arrived in my country (Greece!) in 15 days. What's worth mentioning is the anbelievable overall quality, even from the package, and the superior/ more usable light output to my 6.000k 35w HID kit (Abarth Punto Evo). Thanks a lot once again

The Pro 50w makes a good fog light but I found that the 55w version lacks a good hotspot in a halogen projector (Lexus es 350 2008) and thus it lacked good distance down the road,so I had to return them. 50w gets very warm but the 55w was VERY hot.

What’s up friend, I’ve been trying to narrow down a set of leds for a while now and don’t feel any closer to choosing one. I’ve got a 2015 GMC Yukon with halogens and would like to start with the low beams (white). I don’t mind spending up to $100 or so but a budget set wouldn’t hurt my feelings. My main concern is reliability.. Thanks for all the videos, keep up the good work.

@InJasonsGarage

3 жыл бұрын

When it comes to reliability, I always recommend the Diode Dynamics SL-1. Definitely not the brightest, but brighter than stock and are of OEM quality with great beam patterns in both projector and reflector applications. What makes some LED lights unreliable is that they are overdriven to be super bright, but that only lasts so long. They are a little out of your price range, but if you want the most reliable, they are it in my book.

Hey Jason looking to see if an LED drop in is worth it for an FJ Cruiser. I didn't see any lux measurements for the Morimoto 2.0 Stroke 3 out a reflector. Any chance you could comment on that? I also understand LEDs can have poor throw at a distance so maybe in the future that would be a worthwhile test.
