Can you put LEDs in projector headlights?
LEDs are a brighter, more efficient alternative to HID and halogen bulbs in vehicle headlights. But LED bulbs can only be used in projector headlights and continue to be unsafe to use in reflector headlights. Vehicle headlights have certainly come a long way since traditional tungsten filament lamps.
Which is better LED or projector headlights?
They are very efficient. While halogen bulbs waste 80% of their energy, LED lights convert most of the energy they use directly into light. LEDs produce a much more penetrating, illuminating white light.
How do I know if my headlights are projectors?
Projector headlights have a very particular look and can be identified by the lens and its clean, simple and modern design as shown below. Reflector headlights can be identified by their ‘open’ design, which reveals the reflector bowl (compared to projectors where it is concealed by the lens).
Are all projector headlights the same?
All projector headlights are based on the same basic design, but they can use several different types of bulbs. These headlights typically project a more even beam of light than reflectors, with a sharper cutoff between light and dark, even though they use the older halogen bulb technology.
What is the benefit of projector headlights?
Projector headlights are significantly brighter than reflector headlights. They’re less likely to blind other drivers. Because projector headlights are directed downwards towards the road, they don’t shine in other drivers’ eyes. Projector headlights give off a more even light.
How do I make my projector lights brighter?
