Cody Chornobey Powley Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Its not a war at all cause I already proved my point on proper lighting, if you have to aim your headlights down for on coming then maybe you should use the proper set up, sure some people may not flash you but your still aiming your headlights down hahah and that to me is dumb and some hid produce an enormous amount of glare and that when people start flashing, that's the lights scattering everywhere off the reflector cause it's not designed for it, they made hid to fit any.bulb hole easy money from guys like this group, pretty sure new laws are happening and banning plug and play hid I want to.prove a point that plug and.play hid and led are almost the same glare and not much distance compared to.my proper hid projectors......

Camper Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Even your proper projectors can blind upcoming traffic. After retrofit with"proper hid projectors" entire head light need to be adjusted using proper tools. The reason for this,when you retrofit headlight, you can`t properly aim projectors. It human nature, it impossible to pinpoint for proper light with out proper tools and adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Not really that hard.....park the car at 25 feet against a wall. Mark the cut off on the halogen lights. Do the retrofit park in the same spot and aim the projector to thw same spot. Been retrofitting for a few years, never once been flashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhareFred Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Fogs and high beams fit with no problem. Havent done low beams. You may need a load resister with the led. Might get an error message or flickering without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 LED's with fans fit fine for both high and low. You don't need a resister. OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 So, for both LED 9006 and 9005 resistor do not required and they do not flicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 So, for both LED 9006 and 9005 resistor do not required and they do not flicker? No. LED's require nothing. Plug and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Blinkers need resistors and low beam needs nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anibal Ibarra Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ordered new LED light bulbs for headlights from amazon, on their way arriving on friday. Before that please share any experiences or opinions. LInk:https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B016KNWUW6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Will post pictures once done installing them. Thanks I was told that you can't put LED headlights, unless you actually have the proper wired for it. I was told by a third party shop who sees Journeys come in with wiring issues due to people trying to put LED lights on their Journeys.

Take it from people who are actually running them. HID's are another story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Mine had plugs that matched the factory connector. Don't need to waterproof anything. The bulb is all one unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Does your LED bulb, do not have "driver" ?, just plug directly to the existing connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Shrink tube.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Does your LED bulb, do not have "driver" ?, just plug directly to the existing connection? Just the bulb, the fan attached to the bulb and a connector. I don't know what "driver" you are referring to but if it's part of the assembly it will be sealed already. It's not like a ton of water gets to the back of the headlights. Edited April 12, 2016 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 if you check this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B016KNWUW6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#productDetails You will see the part, that i called "driver". So, if yours, do not have that part, that is great and it easy install. Then I will order same light as yours. here is the picture for that part: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Don't think I need to say anything else, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Exactly, I got your point, you dint need to say anything else. We all get your point, that the projectors you do install/mount in headlight is better (maybe/questionable).We all here have our choices to install or not to install LED bulbs or HID projectors. However I ask jkeaton, if he do have above parts with his LED light bulbs. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because those are higher power than the ones I got. Regardless, the ones I got are plenty bright for half the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 So, your LED lights, do not have that part and just plug and play? Correct? It 40W LED bulb, and yours I think is 30W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Those small connectors, required to be waterproof, I am tried to get opinions from those who is already installed similar LED bulbs and how they waterproofing, those connectors. in my previous post on page 2, i posted link for liquid electrical tape.I think it will be best use for those type of the connectors. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
