TECHMAX 9006 LED Fog Lights Bulbs, 20000LM 100W 6500K HB4 LED Car Powersports Accessory Light for OFF-Road/ATV/UTV, Pack of 2

I own a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 with the quad (reflector) headlights. I have been a huge fan of LED headlights. The first wet I installed in another truck worked okay. And I thought, eh, well at least they have a lower power draw than my halogens. Well, as I started to really learn conversions, I learned a fundamental, the performance of any LED conversion has to do with the placement and orientation of the LED chipset in the housing. There are two really good sources of information about conversions; headlight revolution and bulb facts. Both sources say that the housing is designed around a very specific location of the light source to produce the desired beam pattern. What you see in my three images are this; 1-halogen bulb (Sylvania silverstar only a few weeks old), 2-tech max LED bulb directly from the packaging as delivered from amazon, and 3-the same techmax bulb rotated to produce an ideal beam pattern.After installing the techmax bulb into my reflector housing I was disappointed to see the scatter to the left of and slightly higher than the hot spot. That is a result of the led orientation in the reflector housing. What you see to the upper left is “scatter” and is why many oncoming drivers will flash their highs beams at you. That effect will “dazzle” oncoming drivers and makes for a safety issue. Many of us have been that oncoming car as we crest a hill or come around a bend on a dark country road only to have your vision “attacked” by high beams, improper aiming, or HID or LED scatter.So, how do you make sure your techmax LED bulb is orientated so that this does not happen? Well, there is a small screw that holds the black plastic mounting collar ring to the bulb. That screw runs through the collar and into the a threaded hole in the metal part of the bulb. I removed the screw, mounted the collar in the housing, placed the bulb through the collar, plugged in the light, and started rotating the light until I found the ideal bulb orientation for my housing. I noted the orientation of the led to the collar, made marks, and drilled a small, countersunk hole in the collar. I reinstalled the collar and screw and there you go. As it turns out, reflectors with vertical baffles to generate a beam pattern benefit the most from an led that is orientated such that the LED board is vertical so the LEDS fire horizontally. That is the difference between picture 2 and 3. See how the beam pattern is almost identical to the halogen bulb. What is missing is the light haze below the hot spot; the fog light region. Picture 2 shows more light below the hotspot, but at the expense of “dazzling” oncoming drivers if you aim the hotspot to a location that is beneficial to you.Now for the numbers. The halogen bulb at a distance of about 20 ft produced a lux value of 615 at their brightest. Another LED bulb sold from amazon (one used in my other truck) measured a value of 715 lux (no picture provided). The techmax installed out of the box produced 750 lux (picture 2). When orientated correctly for this housing, the techmax produced 1250 lux (picture three). These lux values were measured using a digital lux meter, in my garage with no other light sources. As I look more carefully at picture 3, I see I could probably have done a little better on the rotation because I see a little lift to the left of the hot spot. Maybe I will buy another set and play around with that.Bottom line-a really good set of bulbs, but we will see how long the bulbs and/or fans last. I did not need any canbus anti-flicker modules for these bulbs. I highly recommend these bulbs

I’m super skeptical and stingy with these aftermarket LEDs, because I’ve bought a whole variety of different LEDs for my car, and I’ve returned them all because they were all complete hot trash, with terrible beam cutoff or no light output. These put out SO much light and throw it SO far down the road, that I would compare them to my Mercedes with its advanced quad-projector LED setup, and this is just using a factory reflector housing off of a Ford Fiesta. The color temperature is perfect, as it matches the OEM look of other factory LED systems from Ford and others. Honestly, I still would have been happy if I paid $90 for this kit, but it’s less than half of that cost

So ive got 2 sets of these one for an a step van that it replaced some old school hids. And the other in an ford edge. I have to say for 35 bucks the brightness is alright. That's really all that I can say is good about these. In my edge I pulled out some opt7 leds that I loved since one of the chips was starting to flicker and those are 90 a set. Comparing these two brands is well not a comparison. First the main focal point of these bulbs is to low so I would have to repoint my headlights up to be correct which in turn would point up my high beam lights up to high. Didnt have to do that with the other brand. The light pattern is bad. Comparing these is some 10 year old hids that I had in my astro. Yes they are about the same brightness but the pattern is even worse in van. If I point them toward a building I get this infinity symbol pattern on the wall. Yes I shouldn't give them to much of a bad review but after looking at all the positive reviews on this product I feel the people giving such good reviews must be first time led headlight buyers. And to say these are a 10k lumens bulbs is an absolute lie!! As I said they were about the same brightness as my hids that were again 10 years old and they are rated at 5k lumens. So short review, good price, small heatsink which is nice, ok brightness, bad focal point, bad light pattern.

These bulbs have replaced the BEAMTECH Fanless LED bulbs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHDYTGL/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) in our 2018 Subaru Impreza (reflector lamps). The BEAMTECH was a fine performer, esp. at its price point, but these TECHMAX, at the virtually same price, substantially outperform the BEAMTECH. The TECHMAX is not only brighter but reaches further than the Beamtech from our car's reflector lens assembly. The pattern is as good as if not better than the BEAMTECH, and despite its brightness, judging from the lack of flashing lights, the oncoming traffic does not appear to be bothered by TECHMAX's beams (YMMV - always check your aim just to be sure!)Installation is pure plug and play. And while I thought that the BEAMTECH Fanless was compact, I was taken back by how compact the TECHMAX turned out to be. Our car does not have much of a space issue when it comes to installing these LED bulbs, but if your car does, I am certain you would appreciate the compactness of the TECHMAX.As with many of these LED bulbs, I cannot comment on the durability when I write these reviews, as I tend to do so fairly early in the ownership. If anything happens in such area of performance, I will surely update this review.

Fits but not recommended, as it's slightly bigger then the fitting. Installations is hard. cover is hard to place it back into position. The fan pops off from the bulb. May be just his one I had defective one. Brightness wise my old halogen bulb is bright then this LED. Returning this item

Brightness is wow!!!... I installed it in my equinox and then buy one more to put it in a Elantra.Hoping it gonna last :)

Used on 2008 Chev Duramax. Amazon said it wouldnt fit in its vehicle catagory. They were wrong. On my next purchase I will order directly from Amazon.com, and 3rd party charges to much to cushion import taxes to Canada

I like 👍 very bright ,easy to install.Don’t know haw long last.
