I had considered Philips Crystal Vision, Xtreme Vision, and Osram Nightbreaker, but in the end I didn't buy them because of high price and short life. Plus, halogen headlight bulbs are very sensitive if you accidentally touch the bulb, say bye bye. Burnt my old osram this way.

Then I found LED bulbs on aliexpress, so far using it for 2 months very satisfied.

Theoretically LED bulbs have much longer life span, and also more resistant to damage than halogen bulbs.

Avoid the COB LED bulbs because low focus and more glare.

Chips On Board (COB) LED looks like this:



If you retrofit them into a reflector-type headlight, you run the risk of blinding oncoming drivers because the light pattern is scattered.


My advise for buying LED bulbs
- the LED chips must imitate halogen bulb filament like below so that you get light pattern that's close to stock halogen bulb



- rotatable base to allow adjustment within housing
- all-in-one kit preferred, no dangling LED driver
- you may need to purchase aftermarket dust cover if the bulb is too long. this is to allow good air flow around the fan.

- fanless design may be less bright than fanned design because fanless design poor cooling causing LED to shine less to prevent overheat (I can't confirm this)
