Short answer
Led lighting for your car, there are countless products for sale on the Internet. Don't you know what to do? Then read this car LED buying guide.
LED's for cars are there for almost all lamp units. Which fitting you need for which unit, you can find in the overview of LED low beam and high beam.
Why should you choose LED and what should you pay attention to? To keep it simple, Hilox distinguishes the leds in 2 groups.
To get it clear, we first explain what CAN bus is and what it does. CAN bus; Controller Area Network, is a standard for serial data transmission between components. In short, this means that this computer drives the lights and checks whether they are still functioning. Are your lamps broken? Then you will receive a notification of a defective lamp in your dashboard.
TIP: Watch the video at high resolution and on full screen: watch the LED dimmed beam video on YouTube.
The law indicates that you may be using dimmed light during the daytime. At night the dipped beam is mandatory. The dimmed lights are not required when the fog lights are lit. Do the front fog lights and fog lights burn at the same time? Then there is a chance that the reflection of your own dipped beam will blind you.
Most cars have dipped beam and headlight, and some cars have dim and high light in one lamp. For cars that have dim and high-beam headlamps, there is also the option to place LED in the main light, often H7 and H1. This gives you the advantage that, unlike xenon, the lights are immediately at full strength and also have a beautiful white color. Keep in mind that you need to install a LED kit for both dipped beam and high beam. You can also choose to only use the dipped beam in LED.
For those cars with dipped beam and high beam in one lamp it is a lot easier, because special Bi LEDs are available. And available for fittings H4, H13 and HB5.
LED lamps for dipped beam and main beam are available in these fittings:

There are a number of possibilities for this light unit, you can of course use LED fog lights but you can also convert them so that you can use them as daylight lighting. Special relais are available for this purpose, so if you turn on the dipped beam, the 'fog lights' will dim or go out.
Since 2012, manufacturers are obliged to equip cars with daytime running lights, this law is designed to promote road safety. Daylight lighting is seen faster and better, reducing the chance of an accident. Many manufacturers have chosen to use a halogen light bulb for daytime running lights. Not a smart choice, we believe as Hilox. In addition, a white LED is much better visible than a yellow halogen lamp. For this we have some LED daytime running lights available.
There are also complete daytime running modules available, these universal modules can be easily mounted in the car's bumper. Please note that the daytime running lights are dimming or off when the dipped beam is turned on.
The LED's for city light are by far the most ordered accessory in combination with an LED kit or xenon kit. We have a number of fittings in our range including the T10/W5W fitting which occurs most. We also see the fitting BA9S and BA9XS regularly in the city light unit.
The light bulbs for your flashing lights are also replaceable by LED flashing lights. There are countless models of various light intensities and colors available. LEDs directly and indirectly illuminate the mirror glass of the flashing light unit.
Your license plate must be clearly visible at all times and since the life expectancy of the standard lighting can not be expected, you can replace it with a durable LED. LED license plate lighting is available in various fittings and sizes. The fittings T10 and C5W we see the most often.
Therefore, LED license plate lights are not only replaced because they are more beautiful, but also because LEDs last up to 15 times longer than standard bulbs.
The LEDs for interior lighting are almost no longer considered for the newest cars, so these LEDs not only give the car a more luxurious look, but you also have a lot more light. Very useful if you have to read a booklet or get something out of that deep glove box.
Rear driving can be really challenging and it's important that other road users also see you driving backwards. The LED reversing lights are not only brighter but also better visible. This reduces the chance of a accidents. Reverse LEDs are available in various fittings. For example, the BAU15S and the dual function LED in the BAU15D fitting.
