If they are not quality LED like Cree I would pass unless you want to gamble. At that price it might be worth it. You aren't going to get the specs they post with them being manufactured quality (or lack there of) controlled in China.

They aren't going to be as bright as your old bulb from what I have seen. Maybe add a second or third set of bolt on driving lights form harbor freight or somewhere with a bulb swap for when you need the extra light.

If you replace H1/H4/H7 or any halogen bulb with a led, you will get

A) miniscule amount of light

or/and

B) very short life time of the led

There just isn't a room in a normal car headlamp made for halogens to fit a sufficient cooling heatsink for a +1000 lumen led (normal H7 gives 1300-1600 lm).

If you want a bulb that consumes less watts, but still puts out a safe amount of light, HID or the 'eco' halogen bulbs are your best route. HID, to do it right, involves a new reflector, otherwise you'll blind oncoming traffic; those Eco bulbs are simple bulb swap but they have a reduced lifespan than regular bulbs.

Hell no. Especially anything saying "As the good quality of our products, it's almost less than 1% defective rate.We do want long business,not once business!So we will keep the best quality for you!"

LED technology is fine for taillights and things that need not be exceptionally bright while having a long life. It's not "there" for any other purpose yet. It will be soon but it's not there yet. China will not have the cutting edge technology.

gurss you didnt 'search'?

justt had a forum on these last week.......

Headlamp housings are built SPECIFICLY for for a certain type of bulb.
A halogen bulb only works in a headlamp designed for a halogen bulb.

just becuase the led lamp 'fits' doesnot mean it works correctly
here is a completely reaseached thread I wrote on the HIP planet site.


HID plug n play fails govt test

The basic principle is:
while the bases might fit, the bulb can not duplicate the other type of bulb.

Led IS NOT halogen
Halogen is not hid
led is not Hid

But if you really want to throw away your money......paypal me.
Pros: I get rich, you have the same light you have now (not worse), you dont have an accident for driving w/ bulb that are ILLEGAL and dont provide any light.
Cons: I get rich......

I wouldn't say "no" as in barring all, there are some really nice ones out there, but they aren't plug and play and they are very expensive.

the FACT is simple.
Regardless of the quality of a bulb, regardless if it 'fits' physically. It can not (by natural law of the light spectrum) work in a headlamp designed for another type of bulb.

Much like 'lowering springs', 22 rims and turbonators, there will always be someone selling to the uninformed consumer a product that does not work......even though it 'fits'.

I don't know if you are trying to debate with me or you aren't reading what I already typed. I will try to clarify my points a little more, maybe I have been too vague?

One can make an LED light work with modification, I know because I have retrofit HID projectors/bulbs from a newer car into my older car. THE LIGHT WORKS the same as in the factory car the bulbs and projectors came from.

There are cars from the factory ( Simply illuminating: Cadillac introduces its first all-LED headlight system | MLive.com ) that have LEDs I am sure these could be retro fit as well. There also many other bolt on LED options out in the form of fog lights and other auxiliary lights that come with their own housings. Ask a rally driver if those work or not.
