Headlight LED Recommendation

[mcmmotorsports]

So I bought and installed these Sealight H11 LED bulbs.

SEALIGHT H11/H8/H9 LED Headlight... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KB7QX3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

While they are not bad, I feel that I can do better. I opted for the fanless but will do a fanned light if need be. Since Amazon has free returns, I am looking to try either the Katana that folks speak of here or the Lightning Dark that has some strong reviews online. Recommendations?

While I personally use Hikari LEDs (which are perfectly bright and is good enough for me), I’ve heard some great things about Katana. You can also read more about specific LED bulbs and their performance ratings through

I swapped out my morimoto HIDs to this. Not regret one bit.

Do the Hikaris hold up well in the rain, is their a lot of glare?

I used the Hikaris 9600lm before. It's not worth it with that price range. During raining, there are more glares from other people headlight then your own.
Don't get the led with a round cap at the end. Get the flat one, as flat as possible.

Glare from other people headlights? What do you mean by that?

Received the Katana’s today. Only installed one, as a comparison and there is none. Night and day difference with the Katana’s coming out on top. Build quality is better too. I will see how they do tomorrow night on my way home.

I didn't notice it at first, but I'm guessing
Sealight, since that's the other led in the pic. It's also the first led op tried in first post

You would be correct. Compared to the Sealight’s I originally purchased, when I started this thread.

I can also vouch for katanas. They’re way brighter than stock and I’ve been using them without issue since March. I have a review post on here as well with plenty of other members vouching for them

I've pretty much already been sold on the Katanas, but I need to know how they work in the rain. I live in Oregon and we get a LOT of rain/fog. Have you had experiences with them in the rain?

I've never had issues in rain. If you're super concerned you can always keep the stock halogens in your glovebox. I have a set in my car "just in case" but I never plan on using them.
