Halogen vs HID vs LED

This video is NOT meant to be an endorsement of altering the headlights in your vehicle. It's just meant to be a comparison between the Halogen, HID, and LED bulbs that are available now.

That said, I did feel like I got some surprising results from my testing as you'll see in the video.

All tests were done using a 2004 Honda Element with Halogen headlight housings. The distances were constant as we kept the vehicle in the same spot for all testing with the engine running.

Also, I did not aim or alter the headlights in any way. I only installed the different bulbs for each test.

I got all of the bulbs for testing from MotorFiend: https://www.motorfiend.com

Halogen bulbs were stock H4's/9003's: https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Silve...

HID's: https://www.amazon.com/Innovited-55W-...

LED's: https://www.amazon.com/Boltlink-Headl...
