I did some research at bulbfacts

https://www.bulbfacts.com/led-kits/chart/projectors.html

Be sure the projector option is selected.

According to them, the mid range priced Hikaris are a little brighter but the budget Hikaris are dimmer than their top budget choice.

I am a budget type of guy and getting low\high\fog from Katana. The regular size for lows and small form factor for high and fog.I

That being said, WallofKron has some pretty sweet looking leds.
The difference between the katanas and the hikari ultra leds is probably pretty damn minimal besides the price tag. You can't go wrong with the Katanas for sure. I just recently did my fogs with yellow DDM Tuning Saber leds and she looks mean now. Bulbfacts is great!

Glad to see that the eye of megatron ultras are the highest rated mid tier choice. Very happy with mine.

I used them (9600lm) in the snow and rain for the past couple weeks and i’m very pleased. Can’t wait to try the 12000lms one.

The lowbeams and fog lights are the same bulb on the 10th gens, correct? When I look at bulb size listings, it says the low beam is H11 and the fogs are H8. But every LED bulb I've seen lists the H11/H9/H8 as the same?

I already have LED H11 lowbeams from Lasfit, but would like something a bit cheaper for the fogs. These will fit my 2019 Sport Sedan, correct?

I just want to say this thread helped me out a lot. I was on the fence about getting the Hikari Ultra LED's but pulled the trigger yesterday and bought a set. Super excited to throw them in. Was looking for something to match the colour tone of my DRL's.

So here are my results for the Hikari Ultra " Eyes of Megatron" LED swap. I am really impressed. For 100$ Canadian I significantly upgraded my brightness/spread and range. Before after and 40ft from a wall.

Is anyone having to use the anti-flash resisters?
Most of the kits you order on Amazon and Ebay come with them. My theory is if they include them in the kit they should be used. My Eyes of Megatron from Hikari came with the ballasts.

I installed Hikari Eye of Megatron low beam LEDs yesterday in my 2017 Hatchback and they are awesome to say the least. I am not at all a car guy, but the install took me all of 15 minutes. My eyes aren't what they used to be and the extra illumination at night is quite helpful. Very satisfied!

Do the fog lights use the same bulbs LEDs or different ones? And are they as easy to swap out as the low beams?

Same bulbs. You can get to them without jacking the car up, if you lay on the ground.

I followed this tutorial and did mine last month or so:
