20 Best Led For Projector Headlights (2023 Updated)

I want to like them! I really do, I paid the higher price because the look of these is just amazing, I still love them for that. My main issue is they came with the projector cut-offs crooked? See what you think from my picture, but to my understanding they are meant to be straight across but they are tilted down in the center, the sides of the road light up and the center is dark.

My stock headlights did a better job, sadly, functionally. I’ve been struggling with it and waited too long to address it, I assumed i’d have more than a 180 day warranty to do something about it since these are quite pricey for aftermarket lights at 200 a pair.

Live and learn, and if you get them just make sure to check the projector cut off’s and make sure they’re right before the 180 days is up! I tried looking and finding cutoffs that look like this, but they are all straight across and not curved like these.

I’m using HID headlights in this photo if that helps.

Would be a 5 star if these headlights for daytime running lights were brighter, but it’s an easy fix by just changing the bulbs themselves to a different bulb type. Which is a easy fix I love look they give my car.

Alignment of the headlight assemblies should come with instructions for doing the alignment. I was able to figure it out after a night of figuring out what they were. For any one who buys them the easy to get to adjuster is for the height and the not so accessible one is for left and right angle.

But I will say I would recommend anyone in the need of new headlight housings to purchase these.

At first, they were great. Beautiful headlights, really made the car unique. But of course, right after the manufacturer warranty wore off they started to fail. At first, with the remote start, they would be fine, but once I unlocked the car one would turn off, completely.

And if it wasnt one side, it was the other. I unplugged it and plugged it back it and it was fine for a while, but then the other side started to fail. The LED strip won’t light up. Been nothing but constant problems with these headlights.

These come with standard H1 housing and headlight bulbs. 9th gen civic Coupe OEM bulb size H11 and Sedan OEM bulb size 9006 will not fit this headlight housing, which is mentioned in the description; only fits H1 bulbs.

There are separate wires for the LED strip (aside from the low/high/turn signal wires) sticking out from the back of the headlight that need to be spliced in with, preferably, the daytime running lights.

I was aware that these headlights come with halogen bulbs as part of the purchase. So I was already planning on putting LED’s in. It’s somewhat plug and play, but in order to get the LED strip to light up, some wiring needs to be done, not too bad, but based on the reviews, many customers thought this would be immediate plug and play.

If you plan to purchase aftermarket LED bulbs (lowbeam) for this, you may need an H1 male plug single diode converter (cheap on Amazon) because the headlights’ lowbeam harness is a ‘single female’ linkage.

Most aftermarket H1 LED bulbs will have 2 wires (male), positive and negative, so having that single diode converter cord will allow you to take the 2 wires from the led bulb, and plug it into the 1 single female headlight harness.

Great looking pair of headlights though.

**** yeah super happy with this purchase. A little thrown off by the way the wires are set up though. Why make the LED wires separate from the headlight lamp? Why not just wire them together so it really can be “plug and play” as advertised.

Yes there are the three plug in connections, but beware, there is a fourth set of wires for the LED strip which must be wired in with the main headlamp. There’s no normal spot to stick the wires together so you have two options.

Either you’d be forced to strip one of the wires and wire them together and wrap it tight with electric tape, or find a way to jam the small LED wires into the plug between the two connectors for the main headlamp (which is what I ended up doing).

It was tricky, but I figured it out. Now the headlights look amazing. I wish I would’ve had this information before starting because I almost had to physically run to Walmart during the installation process and buy electric tape.

Thankfully I didn’t need this though.

I’ve needed new headlights for some time and finally pulled the trigger on getting new ones. I’m so happy with my purchase of spec-d projector headlights. They’re a more modern style but they fit my old little car so well.

On top of a great look, they work absolutely amazing!.

I absolutely love the look of these headlights, but they came with damages to the headlights itself. At the very top there’s cracks which can reveal moisture and water thru and fog up the headlights , and the leg strip that goes through the middle is a little loose on the driver side.

I have read reviews about this but still decided to buy. I’m a little disappointed that i was given a damaged product.

I bought a set for my Veloster and within 6 months the tint was already coming off. I messaged them and they did replace them. The new set has already started peeling. They have only been on my car for about 6 months.

I expect the tint to last longer considering the cost.

High quality aftermarket replacement. Gives a dated car a newer look. Projectors give better down road lighting then OE reflectors, Still get High/Low from single filament bulb. Downsides: LED bar only illuminates with parking lamps, would be super if they operated as DRLs.

There is no “gasket between headlight and hood. Will have to take the one off of the OE lamps or make a trip to the home improvement store for some narrow weatherstrip.

These headlamps are amazing!!! They literally light up the entire road without even using the high beams. I totally recommend these. Explains why they’re expensive lol

Great lights. Very bright. Would highly recommend. Had to barley make any adjustments

Awesome lighting pattern. Really enjoy not getting flashed by on coming traffic because my led bulbs scattered the light. Having these projector lamps helps focus the light where it’s needed!

Usually have a terrible experience with ordering things online. But Redline really delivers. The quality of my product was great, and was packaged a lot better than I expected. Super easy to install and I’m not really a car guy.

The only thing I had trouble with was the wiring, but it was pretty simple once my dad showed me how to do it. Took a little longer to arrive than I expected, but that’s was UPS’s fault. Their tracking system isn’t the best.

All in all, great product. Definitely will be buying from Redline again.

Hello Redline360 , this is Ryan. I have installed my Spec-D Sequential Headlights and the blinkers are not fully functional as it seems defective. The blinkers do not go in a sequential motion as it is supposed to go.

There are only 3 LED lights that go on and flash while the blinker is on. Is there a way these headlights can be replaced?.

I love the way the turn signals are sequential and they are bright also I would recommend getting Led headlight bulbs to switch out and also a relay for the turn signals otherwise the turn signal will hyper flash.

Great look and easy to install (~20min). Quality 80% of OEM. Some wavy rubber around the turn signals, a couple small pieces of Styrofoam type material inside the unit and small defect on the plastic right above the driver side projector.

But only noticeable up close. With included bulbs, road illumination better than stock.

For the price for the set of 2 headlights and quality build was perfect. And the easy install and wiring (if you connect the halo lights with the headlights) is super simple. Didn’t even take me 1 hour to install.

The estimated 1 hour install is primarily running wire from the front to the rear lights so the halo runs for day time light. But over all very well pleased with my purchase.

They fit great, a bit tight but no rattle or shake that way. They look good too. There’s only two problems I had with them. 1. One of the screws that holds the bulb retainer had its hole stripped when I got it.

I fixed this by putting in a bigger diameter wood screw in its place. 2. I have not seen anywhere on the product page what bulbs these require. They do not take the normal 9007 bulbs that the factory housings take, which is obvious.

I believe they take H1 bulbs, and look pretty easy to replace from the inside.

These headlights look really cool and they were easy to install. They help visibility at night and have the cool LED C-ring outline. The tinted lens looks cool when you’re parked but I don’t think it makes the lights less bright.

I recommend getting some waterproof connectors from amazon/autozone in case you ever want to take them off for any reason. There was a mount tab (maybe for another application) that you can shave off and it will make it so you don’t need to take off the grille when you install/remove the lights.

The bulbs are H-1 Lights which I do recommend replacing with an LED. The lights are an upgrade but could be much better. All in all I would buy them again/ recommend to a friend.

I saw this as a alternative to factory replacements which run 1600 for the pair, these were 450 for the pair. They are well made and a decent alternative for the price. They fit just as the originals and look exactly like them too.

What they don’t come with is side maker bulbs or headlights but the DRL’s work perfectly the flaps for the brights work differently but they work. I don’t know who said it takes a hour to put these in…try 3 hrs if you don’t want to break anything.

I highly recommend watching a couple of youtube vids theres a couple VERY helpful tips for removing the piece under the grill and over the bumper, spend the 7 bucks for the non marring tools to remove the clips from harbor freight they are worth it.

I bought these for my 2011 silverado. They look great! took me about an hour or two to install. **ONE THING YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOU DO IS SEAL THE LIGHTS WITH SILICONE ALL AROUND TO PREVENT ANY WATER ENTERING.

*** The wiring can be a little tricky and you might need some extra wire couplers and cable. Depending on how you wire them you can have the DRL feature but I chose to wire them where I manually turn on the LED square.

The bulbs are 3. 5/5 on brightness I wish they were brighter maybe 6500k would be nice. Overall they are awesome lights and i get compliments on them a lot. These headlights will make your truck stand out.

I have zero complaints from the manufacturer. The fit and finish is superb and the step by step directions (with color photos!) were easy to follow. I went ahead and ordered led bulbs (H7) and replacements for my fogs to match.

Once the original oem headlights are removed, the fogs can be accessed easier. I do have a complaint with Ford however. You shouldn’t have to dismantle the front end to change headlights. The plastic clips retaining the radiator cover are a pain.

Take time and care to remove them without breaking them and be careful not to lose the four small threaded clips for the colored trim piece between the bumper and grille. To save time on the reinstall my daughter primed the plastic clips by putting the tops with the bottoms.

Made the final step a cinch. Overall install time was around an hour. Highly recommend the headlights. Led c-bar turns to sequentials for hazards and turn signals. A very impressive visual upgrade.

These Lights are so good looking. They make my F150 look like a new Pickup. I did the Fog lights. Tail lights, Third Tail light and the Tag lights all in the Smoked Lighting. Almost forgot, we installed the Red-Rock Baja Upper Replacement Grille with LED Lighting; Gloss Black.

I also installed the Strut on the tail gate so I don’t drop the tail gate. So Cool. With the help from my Daughter and Son-in Law for the front end It took us about 3. 5 hours for the entire install.

The lights look good in the truck! The issue is that there is a MAJOR lack in the design towards aiming. once it got dark I turned my lights on while parked 25-30 feet from a wall. The lights hit at about 15 foot mark on the wall.

I removed the lights and ended up bottoming out the vertical adjustment. I reinstalled the lights and they were hitting about the 8-10 foot mark on the wall. That is the equivalent to shining in the 2nd floor window while parked 30 feet from a house.

REALLY?? In order for me to drive home after work, I had to NOT place the OEM mounting pin in the top OEM hole on the truck. If I didn’t then I would blind all on coming traffic. I thought this might be an isolated issue so I called american trucks to ask to speak to the design people on thursday (4/16/20) and haven’t gotten a call back yet.

Since then I have looked for similar lights online and found reviews stating the same complaint about aiming failures. I have looked at the aiming mechanism and am trying to figure a way to make my own fix seeing as how the engineer of this design obviously never thought about aiming lights.

The current road block I am facing is that the entire aiming apparatus pivots on one rocker bolt and it appears that there could be unrepairable damage if I make an attempt. IF I could remove the aiming mechanism then I would weld more ABS plastic to extend the downward movement.

also, the lights are advertised as providing more light then the OEM lights. I TOTALLY disagree!! my OEM lights fade off into infinity in all directions whereas the new lights have a very distinct line between the end of the light and the start of the darkness.

that said, once I invent a fix to the lights MAYBE I will like the light that is offered besides, they really do look good on the truck and with the matching blacked out blinkers that I have already placed a review.

I am TOTALLY looking forward to the new tail lights I plan to order as well as the cargo light.

As others have stated, you’ll most likely need to modify your buckets to get these to fit. But these look amazing when done. So much brighter than regular headlights, the daytime running light is great as are the turn signals.

I installed these on my 1962 IH Scout and the headlight plug was a perfect match. The turn signal was spliced into the existing turn signal harness and I ran a new wire to the ignition switch for the drl.

Since I kept the existing turn signals, there are no issues with the flasher.

The headlight (high and low beam) wire up directly to my stock wiring on my 1967 C10. I want to use the amber Halo ring as a replacement for my turn signals, but having trouble figuring this out. The stock turn signal connection has two wires and these halo rings only have one wire (one for each color, I presume).

What do I do here? Do I splice in another ground wire from the headlight plug? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I installed these on my 1951 Studebaker pick up hot rod. Lights are super bright. Easy to install. Wired up white leds as day running lights and amber leds as turn signal. Works great, looks cool. Best option out there.

Good service and fast delivery from Summit.

So first of all I want to say I hope this review helps anyone that decides to take the risk like I did with these headlights. The wiring. oh boy the wiring. I hope you have an Automotive Electrical Certificate of some sort because this does not come with ANY instructions whatsoever.

For the driver side I hardwired the DRL bar into the side marker light, easy peasy black to black and white to the yellow wire. Now the arrow style blinkers. those were interesting. I attempted to use vampire clips to tape into the harness used for the OEM blinker but must not have had a good connection as those clips are pretty much junk to deal with anyway.

I then decided to just cut off the factory harness with plenty of leeway if I needed to reconnect it at any point down the road. I hooked the black wire from the headlight to the black wire on the harness.

Easy enough. Now there are two more wires from the harness, a yellow one and a weird greenish blue one. I havent done a lot of automotive electrical so I’m not sure if this is common sense or not but I had no idea what to do in this situation.

Well I attempted to take the yellow wire from the headlight and connect it to the two remaining wires from the truck harness. Absolutely did not work. I tried so many different configurations just to find out hours later that the weird bluish green wire on the opposite side of the black wire was the power, which in turn made these headlights run perfectly.

Now, I just have a condensation issue that will be diagnosed as well. Only in the passenger side headlight so I will match it up with the driver side and make sure everything is kosher. Anyways, I hope this review helps at least one person as I wish someone had made a specific review like mine.

Also, side note, this headlight is manufactured by DNA Motoring and their customer service is garbage. Good day.

I couldn’t find any instructions on how to install these anywhere so I hope this helps someone in conjunction with “HoldFast36’s” review. To start there is NO wire splicing, cutting, or anything necessary for this install.

– Remove original headlight housing per usual. Unscrew, and unplug everything connecting the truck to the headlight. – Once removed, remove the blinker light module from the original headlight housing and remove the bulb itself from the plug.

– Take the blinker plug over to the new headlight. – Plug the flat connector coming from the blinker hole in the new housing into the piece you just took the old bulb out of (look at the color of the wires and make sure black matches to black when plugged in).

– Push excess wire into the blinker hole and Install the blinker plug as you normally would, match the holes up and twist clockwise to lock. – Plug headlight connecter in as usual. – If you want a corner light, you will also need to use the corner marker light from the old headlight in the old light and transfer the plug and the bulb over to the new headlight housing.

After that, you can reinstall the new headlight as you normally would. I hope this helps! Will update after I’ve had them for awhile.

The headlights are great super bright and white. Love the way they start up and the turn signal is awesome. For those who aren’t exactly familiar with installing electrical parts I would definitely recommend you go straight to the nova site to get more detailed instructions.

This site is good but they skip over a crucial step in order to get the DRL light working.

These headlights made a big difference in lighting on my r53! I also converted the low beams to LED bulbs which is about 3x brighter. I had factory HID lights but they were just not bright on my 2004 Mini so this fixed my issue.

The lights themselves don’t have as perfect of a fit as factory but once installed look fine. I am super happy with this change. Small amount of money = big smile!!!.

If you are trying to do your research and go by the eBay car compatibility chart, these are shown to only fit the Convertible Mini Coopers (R52). Even after contacting the seller, to verify fitment of these to the Hatchback (R53) all they could tell me is it was for the convertible.

However I decided to order these taillights anyway and take the chance. Happily I can report these lights fit the hatchback (R53) just fine, specifically in my case a 2005 Mini Cooper S. I also find the smoked color of these taillights accent the Dark Silver of my Mini beautifully.

These are beautiful lights and they look great on my 2004 R50 Mini. The wiring was pretty easy and required no drilling. The instructions were not very good though. They should do a better diagram of the halo wiring.

Outside of that, they are great.

Took ME about 2 hours because I was very hesitant on the grille removal and the first electrical connector. Install was straight forward by following AT video instructions for other lights. Black housings give the truck a whole new look and The way the sequential signals work is my favorite part! Knocked a star off due to needing big time aim adjustment and the very yellow output of the included bulbs.

REALLY like the way these look and fit. Didn’t get a chance to drive with them at night until recently. They do a good job but I thought that they would be brighter and project further down the road than the stock/OEM ones.

Also, one note on the install. One the passenger side the + wire is white with brown stripe and on the driver side the + wire is white with a blue stripe on my truck (’15 Ram 1500).

Recently installed my new headlights for my 98 Ford F-150. The installation was as easy and it took half the day because of wiring and adjustments. But the C-LED head lamps match the style of my Ford pickup truck.

It’s looking very cool and I recommend you upgrade if your thinking of newer style head lamps.

These headlights look absolutely amazing! The cut off and light focus is on par and could not be better in my opinion. I maybe would’ve included LED bulbs or a brighter halogen with them, but I understand why not.

My lights have a shake to them that someone described as “strobe lights”, however I am getting a replacement set and will update when I get them. If the problem is fixed I’ll update to a 5 star, if I have the same issue I’ll probably downgrade due to the build.

They are somewhat bright, but it is very hard to adjust these headlights, and getting them in and out is a pain. However, they do look very nice and were very easy to wire. Once adjusted they look very good!.

I switched to these lights after using the tinted headlights for several years on my 2011. Driving in the dark was always a problem (horrid in the rain!) but these retro projector lights fixed that. They look sharp and still maintain that blacked-out look while putting out a tremendous amount of light.

I can see so much better at night now. Truly a night and day difference. Be sure to adjust the angle of the lights (very easy to do with a small screwdriver) before hitting the open road. I marked this as less than an hour but because of the fact you have to remove the front bumper to replace the lights, I took probably closer to two hours.

Even so, very easy install.

This definitely gave the car a newer, meaner look. Install took about 2. 5 hours, a few different tools and a few choice words. “Plug & Play” harness is a little misleading as the prongs don’t line up quite right.

Getting everything to plug in and work took the bulk of our time. My son is a fan of “Dave’s” new peepers though so we’ll give these headlights the thumbs up. The lights are a big improvement from factory but after taking it for a spin after dark, the aim will need to be tweaked a little more.

Great looking headlights for a great price. Takes a little longer to install considering you have to remove the entire front bumper in order to change out the headlights. But in the process I found it was a good opportunity to do some deep cleaning in and around the headlight areas.

Don’t forget to reuse the “O” ring gaskets for your bulb sockets (this set doesn’t include them). Install time totally depends on the person. I spent roughly a few hours to get everything cleaned up and installed properly.
