LED reviews

Hi McDuff,

Now you're a believer in LED headlights.

To be objective in comparing LED headlights you need some info not provided
by the uncooperative LED merchants. They should tell you a lot of stuff in the specs, but instead give you a pile of vague rubbish such as the color 6000K
and its for "12 volt" systems.
The LEDs run at 14 volts and then the next important item is how much power are they.
See this post where I asked for some simple cooperation to review the auxito.

How much current do your Auxito LEDs draw after 2 minutes on and at what system voltage for high and low beams?

Nobody's interested in being objective.

Today I see that Amazon brand Hikari 2022 has dropped down in price from last year.
Alan might order that set for $27 or whatever it is now instead of $50 last year. It's a high quality package.
Hikari has a new one of interest, "The punisher" for about $60 claiming more power and the latest LEDs that are more efficient and they say 100,000 hours life! So you can bet that it is a current limiting device to control heat.

I'll find out later if Hikari's old advertising upgrade policy is any good or so
much hot air.

How about it ? Are you able to measure current and voltage for your headlights?
to get a clue about what power they are?

Happy motoring, Bill
