The Best LED Bulb Conversion Kit Upgrades

LED Conversion Kits can be difficult to choose for a number of reasons. With so many products now on the market it is important to do your research and talk to specialists to gain a better understanding of exactly what will best suit your particular application.
The latest kits will use the CREE XHP50, CREE XHP70, Philips Luxeon Z-ES GEN 2, and the new CSP LED's.
Then you need to look at your headlight housing to see which kit is best for you. Projector headlights will need a specialized kit to give you the best beam cut-offs, (see projector lens led headlight bulb kits) whereas a high beam or driving light/spot light may be better suited to using the Extreme Series led kits.
For motorcycles led kits use the ATOM LED Conversion kits as they have built-in-drivers which means that they are easier to fit because there are no external drivers to have to mount, they just plug straight into your existing headlight connector.
For those on a budget, try the Trailblazer led kits, they are still powerful, easy to fit, and high quality.

The combination of power, beam pattern technology, thermal management, and advanced electronics come into play in a big way and cannot be easily detected by simply seeing slick marketing and cheap prices.
For example a lot can be said negatively around using fans in led kits, but if they are good quality, and are well engineered in conjunction with other thermal management systems, such as conduction and failure safe guards, they can actually add quality to the led headlight bulbs over-all life and function.
In saying this, as technology advances, a lot of high quality kits now use conduction primarily in the body of the led bulb, and this can be advantageous regarding the size of the bulb and makes them easier to fit in small headlight housings.

Price is a factor. Even our cheapest kit, ( the V8 Series) although having fans, are carefully selected to have a high quality and long life in the harshest conditions. But in the end, the old saying "you get what you pay for" rings true.
For example; The X8 Pro kits are in my opinion the best all-round led headlight bulb on the market today. The reason for this is that they can be used in pretty much every headlight, no matter the size and type and still give you great beam cut-offs, and the beam is 360 degree rotatable so that you can have full adjust-ability to get the beam pattern perfect. The LED's are second gen Luxeon z-es so they have high lumen and long life. The conduction is in the body and have been beautifully engineered right down to the molecular structure (kind of like a spiral) to create the best conduction, and the size of the bulb will perfectly fit into any headlight housing without you having to do any modifications.

If you have a Can-Bus controlled vehicle, which means the computer turns the lights on automatically, get the Can-Bus LED Kits, these kits are the latest and greatest in terms of the ability to fit any vehicle no matter if it is can-bus controlled or not.
