Hikari UltraFocus H7 LED Bulbs, 18000LM, 32W Prime ZES LED Equivalent to 120W Ordinary LED, High Performance LED Conversion Kit, Halogen Bulbs Upgrade Replacement, Canbus Ready, 6000K Cool White

1/31/2018 This is the best LED bulb I have used. Nice LED white with just ever so slight yellow.The beam pattern is top notch like factory halogens which results in very good long range visibility. Good amount of lumens, though HID is still superior. I would give 4.5 if i could due to HID being better visibiloty, but comparing LED to LED in under $100 I think this is best value.I've used the HIKARI CREE, Nineo and Zdat. I kept the Nineo for my foglights, HIKARI Phillips for low beams and returned the others.In the attached pictures, the drivers side is Nineo and the passenger side is Hikari Phillips. Notice the beam pattern that clearly projects more light forward giving better long range visibility. See comparison I did of 4 bulbs.1/27/20181 starWAIT A MINUTE! This product, which I actually ordered and installed two days ago, only had 6 reviews when I bought the product. Now it has over 180?!?!?! A lot of the pictures people have posted are not even for this product!Before I leave my real review, this needs to be addressed!!

I am member of a globally recognized forum called TacomWorld and a very active member in a very popular 3rd Gen LED Conversion thread. A bunch of us over there that have bought these bulbs and everyone is very pleased with them, myself included. Installation is easy and the result is incredible. I have since bought two more of these bulbs and a package of their license plate bulbs.I am running these bulbs in both my low and high beams and I am 100% satisfied and recommend them to anyone with the same type of vehicle.I've included a After photograph showing the the Hikari Philips Low Beam and High Beam.

I am really bummed to leave this review, I really enjoyed the product after install, but less than 1 year i have had 1 side randomly degrade to 10% of its original brightness and to file for warranty it states to go through amazon customer service, Amazon customer service is useless and tells you to go to the same link that leads back to speaking to Amazon customer service. I have written 5 emails to the manufacture website contact (cares@hikariled) with absolutely no response. I have written them every week for 5 weeks now in attempts to warranty product. I was forced to order a different brand and actually less impressed with that product compared to this product, but sad when advertised with warranty that is non-existing.

OK, bare with me...I'm not a paid reviewer and I have no affiliation with Amazon or Hikari.I have changed my halogen headlights in the past, but I haven't done much more on a car that an oil change. A friend got some LED headlights and suggested that we put some in my Toyota truck.I purchased the Hikari Cree LEDs a couple of weeks ago and after a lot of fussing, we got them (H4 - 9003s) into my Toyota Tacoma . They cost around $70 and were advertised as around 9,600 Lumens. I noticed that LED housing was long and there was only the one large Cree LED for the low beam and a second one for the high beam. The instructions were very poor. I had to cut back the rubber boot around the LED headlight to get it to fit. I had to wiggle and force in into place over the housing. I had to invert the boot and fold it to try to wiggle the long LED housing into the mounting plate in the headlight assembly. I then had to try to close the spring.I ended up pulling parts of my front grill off, pulling the wiper fluid container and ultimately pulling out the whole front left head light. I broke the spring that holds the headlight in place and then the Hikari base that holds the light in place (cheap plastic mounted to a metal bracket. I was able to drill out the headlight and mount the spring back in place with a couple of screws. Ultimately, when I turned on the lights, I was not happy with the light pattern on my garage (I used painter's tape to mark the horizontal and vertical center to compare the old headlights and the Hikari patterns). The pattern was scattered and when parked only 10' from the garage door, the pattern fell about 1' higher with the Hikari. This lead me to believe that the pattern would be much higher at a distance and hence, in other driver's eyes. They were brighter, but I sent them back.Fast forward a week and I found a new set of Hikari H4's using the brand new Philips Lumileds. There were only 5 reviews; however, the photos showed three LEDs for the low and an additional three LEDs for the high beam. They claimed higher Lumens (by around 2,400). They also showed a "cup", as on a normal headlight of my type. I paid around $90.The LEDs came in a white Hikari box. The LEDs were much shorter - about the same length as a normal headlight, in fact. I compared the halogen headlight with the Hikari. They were actually about the same length. There was a "cup" around the low beam, like on my halogen light.The metal housing seemed more heavy duty/better metal and there was a "cup" around the three low beam LEDs on both sides. The fan area was actually a little bigger and heavier, too. The driver housing was heavier and there was a nicely wrapped cable past this. It felt like a much higher quality conversion kit.I learned a few things from the first debacle. The first trick (which was poorly explained in their manual) was that you hold the LED and turn the mount 180 degrees to remove the LED housing from the metal/plastic headlight mounting bracket. You should put the mounting bracket into the headlight housing and fasten the spring to hold it in place. There are three points of contact on the mounting bracket and you need to note which two are at the bottom. You put the rubber boot over the top of the LED and slide it into place. You slide the LED housing into the mounting bracket and turn it 180 degrees to lock it into the headlight housing. I did this and attached the cable into the electrical connector that the halogen headlight used to have attached. I snap-tied the driver to another wire to keep it from flopping around. It took less than 5 minutes on the driver's side headlight the second time. About an extra 5 minutes on the passenger side.After I installed the driver's side headlight, I turned on the headlights to check the pattern of the Hikari Lumiled LED vs. the halogen one. I found that it was actually slightly lower that my halogen headlight, with a crisp cutoff on low beam. It was a MUCH better pattern than the Hikari Cree LEDs. It also appeared to be a brighter and crisper light pattern. When I put it on high beams, the light was more widely scattered and brighter yet.I have driven around in the daytime and the headlights will light up a reflective stop sign from 100 yards. At night, I noticed that the Hikari's are about twice as bright as the aftermarket halogen headlights that they replaced. I like the 6,500 k color better than the halogen headlights, which were around 5,000 k. There is a much better low beam cutoff than either of the other lights I have tried. I have not been flashed by oncoming cars.If I could subtract a half a star for the lousy instructions (which were the exact same ones as included in the Cree LED box. They were even marked as "old" instructions), I would do so. I'm happy with them after a week; however, only time will tell how long they will actually hold up to real world driving.

Considering the price, these are not that bright and have an uninspiring beam pattern with lots of glare above where the cutoff is supposed to be. They claim to have an excellent beam pattern and genuine Lumileds chips but don't perform as well in brightness and halogen filiment emulation as other H4 bulbs that cost half the price.

I have a Honda st1100. So the picture I have included is the base of the light. Just to show that the bulb comes out of the base. It makes your life 💯% easier for replacing the bulb. I did also put the shim from railside performance ( a seller on Amazon) then you can slip the led into the base and adjust it so that you have the best pattern. I found the recommended 9-3 o'clock position to work best. The lights are so bright that it will light up street signs even when the sun hasn't gone down fully. At night I can see 3 times as far.(about the length of 5 houses). It gives you a nice bright centre on the road and a little dimmer on the sides, but still alot brighter then a Sylvania silver star ultra!I'm a known as elcheapo and I don't like to spend alot of money on things, but in this case the 118$ price tag was well worth it. I know there are cheaper LEDs out there, but I know that I've tried 2 in the below 50$ price range and also hids in that price range and nothing compares to these. The drivers don't get hot and the heat sink does not get too hot although I did opt on not putting the rubber cap back on to the back of my head lights, just in case.So to make a long story short. If you struggle to see at night and you just want something that works, buy these. You won't be unsatisfied!!!

Tried a few different products. With aging eyes looking to achieve better lighting. The Hikari Ultra LED's with the Philips components work well. The beam pattern in a reflector housing is very very good. There is no flickering, high beams are actually high beams. Installation was quick, I like the fact there is no glass tube covering the led's, it makes it harder to install in a tight setup. Mine were the H4, 9003 bulbs installed in a 2018 Kia. There is nothing really to fault so far. One thing I did notice, not a problem though. The bulbs could be tighter in the adapter that you put in place first. They don't wobble or shake but I found when turning to achieve the exact correct position vertically they need to be tighter. It's not a matter of engineering, simply a little bit bigger o-ring would snug it up and give it a more solid feel to the adjustment. Overall very happy with them so far. Nice white light, bought a second setJS

Very happy with the Hikari LED's. They advertise about 170% over stock halogen and its pretty close. Id say at least 2.5x brighter thsn stock and my headlight housings are starting to fog a bit. Pics may not look that impressive but bear in mind they were taken at 3pm in broad daylight!I ordered some new housings and they will be even brighter. Nice white light and mimic the stock halogen bulb and reflector beam pattern very well.Only gripe that in Canada we've got daytime running lights so with the lights turned off, the highbeams are on. Turned on then the low beams come. Obviously not designed around the daytime running but I always turn my headlights on anyways so it very minor to me and may not even be an issue for other vehicle makes/models.

These LED's are fantastic. Every bit as good as the reviews and what's more. On my car, with the halogen lamps turning on the high beams would turn off the low beams resulting in long distance vision but a dimmer vission of what's up close. Changing the lamps to new halogens did not solve the problem but switching to these Hikari lamps did. I now get fantastic distance and intensity from my lights leading to a more secure drive. Thank you Hikari for a great product.
