Non LED 7000k headlamp replacement .....

[Ibanezbass671]

Decided to go with the non LED route on my lowbeam headlamp.

Not bad, its better than the OEM yellow bulbs...and not to have to worry about incedentaly blinding on coming cars on the road...lol

Just be aware that thanks to the color of those lights there is still a chance the light will bounce right back at you in Snow, Rain and Fog. I had the Alpharex LUXX Headlights that were Projector LED lights and I believe were 5200K. I had a real hard time in Fog that it was a nightmare. Rain and snow were not at bad, but Fog was the worst. Might want to take it down a few as a suggestion

I thought about getting those, but from my experience those types of bulbs(blue tinted) don't seem to last long. Got LEDs for my high beams, which so far is suiting my needs.


That said, how much? Price really dictates my motivation for mods...

Considering where i live, it should be no problem. (no snow in Guam...lol) Its not perfect, but its a slight improvement over than the stock bulb. So far no issue driving in the rain, however my fog lights are still stock so there a mix of that white and yellow wash when the fogs are on.

Got them from our local Auto Shop. These go for less than $20 online.

So glad I got a Lariat with the LED bulbs in both the headlights and fog lamps already stock. The nice white light is great, especially here in AZ. Sure beats the dim yellow bulbs that were in my old XLT. I changed those things out to LEDs first thing and they were much better. And the color matching between my headlights and fog lights looks so much better than having different colors. I can't stand that when I see it in other cars. Put them in correctly and don't go over-the-top with lumens/color and there's no blinding anyone. It looks like those blue bulbs look nice and white on your garage wall there, though, so that's nice. I'd probably buy at least a couple sets of them, though, cuz those will burn out after less than two years, especially if you do a lot of night driving. The good news is, though, that if those are only $20 online, you could buy 3 pairs of them for the same price as a pair of nice LED replacements.
