tak a picture of the light from the correct bulb shining on a wall, the replace 1 of the bulbs and take a camparision pic.
It wont be the same.... it cant be. physics says so.
THe hot spot on the old bulb and the led are different.
THe headlamp assembly was DESIGNED to use the original bulb. period.
the are numerous post on this that used to have pictures...... (oh well)
put the article should be clear.
FACT: the led DOES NOT have the same hot spot, nor is it in the same place.
Your 'new' brightness is increased glare being incorrectly bounced off the reflective surface.  |
I know this, I had to play with my LED conversions on and off for almost a week testing them indoors to get the beam pattern so it wasn't irritating other drivers.
