About the LED headlights

LED car headlights are an increasingly popular lighting technology thanks to their efficiency, durability and brightness. Here is some useful information:

? Advantages of LED Headlights

✅ Greater brightness than halogen headlights

✅ Reduced energy consumption → Improves battery efficiency

✅ Longer life (up to 50,000 hours) compared to halogen and xenon headlights

✅ Instant start-up, without warm-up times

✅ Better visibility with white light similar to natural light

✅ Modern design and customization options (LED strips, DRL, etc.)

? Types of LED Headlights

Full LED → The entire lighting system is LED, including high beams, low beams and daytime running lights

LED retrofit → LED bulbs that replace the old halogens (check compatibility with the vehicle)

Matrix LED → Advanced technology that adjusts the light beam based on road conditions

? Regulations and Approval

⚠️ Not all aftermarket LED headlights are approved for road use. In Europe, lights must comply with ECE R112 and R87 standards to be legal.

? Before installing LEDs on a car with halogen headlights, check compliance to avoid fines or problems with the MOT.
