Many people nowadays are installing aftermarket LED conversion kits in their headlights and fog lights. These new conversion kits use an external power booster, called a for HID setups and a Driver for LED setups. Both of these external power supplies do similar functions, but technically they are quite different. Also, both of these products create RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), in fact every electronic device ever made creates RFI, but there are different types of this electrical interference. Sometimes when installing a LED conversion kit in your vehicle the result can be better, brighter light, but also a side effect...

Light emitting diode headlights, or LED lights, are a technology used in car headlights and taillights to produce a brighter, more energy-efficient light than traditional vehicle lights. LEDs are available on cars for off road lights and driving lights and, though they have been available for many years, they were first used on cars in 2004.LED headlights use about 75 percent less energy than traditional halogen lights, giving these lights a longer lifespan. These lights are rated for about 30,000 hours of life, compared to the 6,000 hours of life rated for halogen bulbs. They also remain cooler to the...

From a practical standpoint; they’re ultra-bright and theoretically will last an extremely long time. They also draw less power than a typical halogen bulb. On one hand; who cares, your car was obviously designed to run with whatever draw your factory headlights had. On the other this takes some tax off your electrical system and might help your battery last longer. Especially if you’re running extra accessories like a fridge or a massive stereo system.

Halogen Spot Lights Today’s halogen light technology has been around since around the 1960’s, making it the oldest among the 3 in terms of technological advancement. The main reason halogens are still offered for sale by some retailers is due to their cheap manufacturing costs, and mainly targeted at price conscious consumers. Halogen globes have a physical filament that glows to produce light. As current from the battery passes through this thin filament, it causes resistance, which produces heat which in turn creates light. Halogen Lights are identifiable by the very 'yellow' light temperature omits. Halogen lights typically consume 55w to 100w per light, however much of...
