I had the Diode Dynamics SL1 H11 in my 2018 Chevy Cruze. They were a huge upgrade. One fan went bad and became extremely loud. DD replaced the pair and I noticed they were considerably quieter. DD redesigned the bulb assembly after I purchased mine originally after their product launch. Great customer service.

I have these in my 2013 Accord EXL v6 sedan. Plug and play, excellent customer service, and they're a quality product. Are they the brightest? No. But they're much brighter than stock, easier to install, and don't offend oncoming traffic. Highly recommend 👍

Thank you for this video I need to upgrade my 2013 Accord head lights

I've had this same LED in my Kia Telluride, it slightly flickers so I had to install some extra wiring to resist those flickers, and now it works fine.

Thanks for your video i have also accord 2013 and i want a powerful beam for night driving do you think this is the best LED for powerful beam

Thanks for the review. I am trying to sacrifice spending 2 arms and legs to do a Retrofit halogen to projector headlight switch on my 2014 Nissan Altima. I may try these before I decide to upgrade. Tired of trying out light bulbs.

That's not too bad I'd still try to do the retrofit. Been waiting for a video on these LEDs, thanks for the upload@

They're the best on the market by far overall. Excellent heat dissipation, great beam spread, long life span and since it's rated at 1630 lm it utilizes it effective. Mine is the older version without the adjustable collar but 2.5 years and still shining.

@@han615 I have the 2stroke and they're awesome too but overall the SL1 will be the better one. 2stroke is rated at 2440lm and 1.9A draw with a 24V input power that is priced at $120 whereas the SL1 is rated at 1630lm and 1.58A draw with a 20.3V input power that is priced at $150. The SL1 has the edge with the best heat dissipation on the market without a doubt. The lumen figures might lean towards the 2stroke but the SL1 has less draw amp, less power input & less lumens yet efficient thus better cooling and longer life span. And the LED chips are high quality plus excellent customer service.

@@han615 No problem. Just when you install it make sure the LED chips are facing upwards and downwards for optimum output.

I just did diode dynamics xp80 rear blinkers, the xpr reverse lights, and their switchbacks. Your resistor kit is amazing! Would you say the diode dynamics sl1s are still a good choice vs. stock?

Does having the collar facing down need to be done with all led bulbs?

Great job on this video!

That step is the cutoff shield

Is possible you can do a video on how to change top screen to your own custom pictures for 2016 accord (my EXL has top and bottom screen) there’s no video for this model

G Harmon I belive you can use a flash drive and go through the settings to find it once you plug it in

In a different car I installed the SL1’s with the fan pointing up rather pointing down as you installed it. The chips still fire left and right. Does it matter that the fan is facing up vs down? My car has dust caps to protect against water and dirt.

I'm not sure it fully matters, but I do believe Diode Dynamics usually installs them downwards. Maybe they can chime in though on your comment to give some insight. They are super helpful when you have questions, you could also try to shoot them an email or something.

How are they holding up?

Can you recommend a good led for DRLs on a 2015 Accord?

I think the problem is with the throw. I also have a honda accord coupe of the same year. From what i can see from you video, these are brighter closer the the vehicle but the lights down go as far from halogens. Do you have an opinion on this?

All LED are like this. They appear to be bright and proven to be brighter compared to stock using a lux meter but it lacks intensity and focus. However, quality HID kit will be perform better in lumen, lux, distance and focus.

The led looks decent.. not very impressive i am afraid. Agree with you about the HID there is nothing compared to it

The 2 strokes are brighter
