Leds for headlights ?

[wintercast]

I noticed the same thing. While they may have extensive knowledge about LED technology, that was the least informative writeup I have read in regards to helping the OP.

Agreed - the info is basically outdated and does not cover projector housings. LEDs in projector housings generally work fine. Much better than the old style reflector housings. I put LEDs in my reflector housings on my ridgeline - making me an asshole.

OP - you should be fine putting LEDs in your projector housings. No need to get special housings.

I have used Opt7 bulbs, but it seems they are getting out of the headlight bulb business. I see some clones, perhaps they sold their style to someone else.

At this point, i would also go with hikari. I figure that is what i am getting for my civic once i have some extra funds.

That's odd, they should fit since they are H11 and many others have them installed. Even the Hikari LED kit that I linked above says that it doesn't fit, when that is the exact kit I have already installed lol

When I looked on Amazon it says it doesn’t fit my vehicle.

Okay well if everyone is saying they will fit even though Amazon says otherwise... then when I get paid again, I’ll order some. Funds are getting sparse lol ?

how are you liking those? I like how some of the companies will give you a discount. I’m thinking of ordering those with the reverse backup lights.

To be exact, the low beam bulb is H11B.

Crap, now I really can’t decide which ones to get... I’m between the LasFit LEDS, the Hikari LEDs and the Katanas or the Auxitos. I want something that’s not overly bright but enough to help me see at night. I’m not one of those assholes that likes to blind people lol js ? HELP! Lol

And how do you know if your car has a projector lens or whatever the other lens is called?

The 10th gen Civic has 2 variants of headlights which is the full LED and halogen with projector lens.

I just got these from Amazon, good reviews and decently priced.

So which ones would ideally be better? The Hikaris or the LasFit. I know on the LasFit website I can get both the front headlights and the reverse bulbs for $89. Not to worry about the price but I’d like to get the best ones.

***EDIT***
apparently I have LED DRL’s but my headlights have the projector style housing. So if I were to upgrade my bulbs to an LED, wouldn’t it make any difference? It’s weird how my DRLs are brighter than my actual headlights.

My DRL’s on:

My low beams are on with my DRL’s:

Best thing to do is to upgrade your headlights projectors:
What I did on my 2016 stock halogen chrome headlights to make them function from this:
This is Amazon hid:

To this:
Morimoto D2S projectors:

You can do this yourself using my walkthgough diy:

I would say with everything cost wise i spent a little under $500

That’s great. Thanks for sharing but to be honest I don’t have the patience to do all that nor the knowledge of wiring anything. Not sure if you were really trying to help or or being sarcastic because I’m a female and I’m asking to many questions... ??

I can vouch for H11 LED bulbs. I got LASFIT but Hikaris are very similar. Mine were a bit cheaper at 36.99. Either one will work just fine in your civic.

How come these are cheaper than the ones on their actual website? Is it because of the lumens?
