Hello!

I live in the parts of Canada where we have dark and cold winters, and I spend a lot of time on unlit highways.

I feel like the OEM halogens don’t cut it for those long drives. I’m looking for:

  • A high quality LED bulb that will be durable
  • That won’t blind others (good light pattern)
  • Ideally matches the DRL LED in colour temperature (maybe 9000k?)

Some people have recommended light bars, but they are very much illegal here on public roads.

TIA!

    I don’t have specific information, but if you want to switch from halogen lights you will also have to replace the reflectors to keep your lights from blinding others.

      It’s a projector beam, not a reflector, I don’t believe there’s anything to be replaced but I could be wrong as there is a mirror in there.

      What I heard is you have to pick the right LEDs for your specific projectors.

      If the mirror does have to be replaced, where would I start looking?

      Thank you, very informative videos! Incidentally, I’ve been recommended the DD SL2 Pro with a DD canbus anti-flicker module by a local shop. The video gives high praise to the SL1, so I’m hopeful the SL 2 will be better!

      EDIT: I just purchased the SL2, will update the main post once they are installed!
