Most car with projector headlamp come with yellowish halogen bulb
Which is more suitable for projector headlamp? Which is brighter and "shoots" further?
HID or LED bulb?

MOST car???

u mean all PERODUA projector headlamp? brows.gif



JDM/import car projector mostly run on HID but at 4300k rated bulb...

newer model runs on 5000k HID bulb from factory

and current trend now if not 5000k HID, factory will use LED


and only new perodua uses halogen projector headlamp....





as for which one is better for retrofit..depend on what u want....cheap reliable? expensive reliable? expensive reliable lower performance?


best LED headlight still wont get nowhere near best HID Projector... (not ahbeng cheap depo projector headlamp)

LED BULB conversion is as BAD as HID bulb conversion...

proper LED headlight system is LED projector conversion... google: Bi-LED projector retrofit

side note: google Bi-LED vs Bi-xenon

The new Honda Civic comes with Halogen projector which is really ugly. Thinking to change to HID or LED for the bright and white colour..

if just bulb change for your current projector...


then definately u need HID bulb...not LED.. the LED bulb type not even decent performer....

because some good projector do accept HID bulb with decent performance (maintain sharp cut-off line, good hotspot)...but gotta try and see if its true on your car projector type

Saw quite a lot of cars with stock halogen projector change to bright white HID/LED.
Now thinking of changing to OSRAM XENARC HID 6000K H11 on projector headlamp, and another size H8 6000k for fog lamp, as for high beam HB3 (9005) i will leave it stock with halogen type
*
for fog better maintain halogen....hid will cause glare...

highbeam should be halogen...because when use flash/turn on highbeam...we need fast start-up....

HID is slow start-up..so not really suitable for highbeam in separate design...


and dont go for 6000k.... 4300k-5000k is enough....u wont get better light output going higher colour range....
