SEALIGHT 9005/HB3 H11/H9/H8 LED Bulbs Combo, 1200% 140,000LM Brighter than Original Bulb, 6500K Daylight White, 25000RPM Cooling Fan with IP68 Waterproof, 70000Hrs Long Lifespan, Pack of 4

First off - 2020 Jeep Renegade. This vehicle has some of the easiest access to the headlight bulbs of any make and model.

Next, the lights did not throw a code. The Jeep recognized them perfectly.

Next, HUGE quality improvement over the stock Sylvania halogens. Could not be happier with their performance.

Now for the however. What should have been a @ 10 minute install process turned into @ 90 minutes of one frustration after another. Some come from the bulbs, some come from the Jeep and some came from me.

I list the following in the hopes that it potentially helps someone else who also has one of those "life lesson" days.

Getting to the bulbs was easy enough. What I did not realize for @ 8 minutes on the first was that when I removed the stock light its O Ring remained inside the housing so I could not get the new unit to go all the way in because its O ring was competing with the previous. Once I realized the problem, the new light fit perfectly. It did need a small adjustment to get the LEDs into the vertical position. For anyone attempting this, those screws are small so have the right tool and be careful and patient.

Ok, now the light is seated correctly all that is left is to plug it in. Except it did not want to plug in. The pins on the light did not perfectly align with the receptors of the vehicle's housing and no amount of wiggling or swearing would get them to budge. I hesitantly used a flat blade screwdriver to gently coax the pins to straighten out a bit knowing full well I'd be hosed if I over did it. After a few adjustments, the pins went in and I was relieved. Tested the headlight switch and the LEDs worked perfectly. Stuffed the wiring into the housing, put the dust cover on and looked forward to doing the other (driver) side. That soon changed.

Again, removing everything was a breeze. This bulb even retained its O ring. So a quick test showed that the bulbs needed to be adjusted two full clicks in either direction to make them vertically align. Small screw driver to the rescue. OK, so now the bulbs are in correctly.

No surprise, the pins on this bulb did not want to play nice and just go in. Of course not. So I used the same technique with the flat blade screwdriver. It took a few tries and I thought I had it, but when I pulled out the partially seated pins, the plastic housing inside the vehicle's plug stayed attached to the inside of the bulb's wire connector housing. Now I needed a very small set of tweezers to extract it. I got it out and it did not want to go back into its proper housing (it can only go in one way) but I eventually got it snapped in.

As I tried to once again join the two connections, the pins would not align, again. As I pondered my situation, I happened to look down into the headlight housing and see two wires gently swaying in the breeze. The sun was oh so slightly glinting off them in what I interpreted as a laughing wave. Two of the three wires had pulled free from the connection housing. Imagine what Ralphie said when his father knocked all those lug nuts into the snow! It wasn't fudge!

So, which one goes in which slot? I do not know and there were no markings to give me a clue. I looked at how each wire had been bent and made my guess and stuffed them in. After a few more tries, I did get the pins to go in. I tested the lights and both were on. Hazah!

I placed the wiring into the housing and replaced the dust cover. I checked the lights again and the passenger was lit, but not the driver side. Loose wire? Sure. I tap on the headlight face and the light comes on. Cool. I open and close the door, rock the Jeep and let the hood slam down hard. The light stayed lit. Double Hazah!

This is now around 4 PM, but I decided to take it out for a test spin. Drove around a bit, came back, and the driver's side light was not working. Opening it all up, those two connectors were about 2/3 of the way off. I jammed them back in good and tight then got a piece of electrical tape and made sure they would not vibrate or get bounced loose again.

So far, so good. And as I wrote about above, they provide fantastic light, are not blinding anyone, and do not trip any warning alarms on the dash. It just wasn't my day for things to go according to plan. But as the great Bugs Bunny once said: "It was a titanic struggle but in the end, clean livin prevailed!"

Bought these for my 2011 Ford Edge Sel and boy am I happy with the purchase. They work great at an affordable price & with me living in the country deer and other nightly critters are on the roads and these head lights have helped me see them from way farther off. So they have definitely helped me and potentially saved me and my families lives night driving. Plus them being LED they use less wattage so not as much drain on the battery and there life spand is so much longer than with regular halogen bulbs. If you went to the parts store or even walmart to try to get the same quality for the price it's not gonna happen. You would spend much more in store than you would be buying these. They are a great brand at a great price and a very nice upgrade .

These high and low beam bulbs work so well for my 2009 Honda. Also what an upgrade too they are so bright and better than the halogen bulbs. I can see so much better when I drive at night!! They also stay cooler to the touch than the older ones! The fit is perfect! I know where I am going to get my next car light bulbs :)

Great quality and bright worked for the vehicle we bought it for.

Purchased these Sealight LS5 H11 low bean bulbs bc my Toyota Sienna had regular oem halogen bulbs that had poor visibility at night even in clear weather. The stock bulbs that were on my vehicle threw an amber/yellowish color that were not bright enough and were limited to how far the beam went. These Sealight bulbs are simple to install no matter if its your first time or your 100th time replacing your headlight bulbs. The amount of light these new H11 bulbs throw is amazing. They throw light two to three times farther and the brightness is such a huge change and is so much safer to drive at night, makes me wonder why the halogen bulbs aren’t automatically replaced with led bulbs upon regular annual inspection. If you have regular halogen headlight lightbulbs, replace them even if your bulbs are still working, with these Sealight LS5 H11 led bulbs. Its the best decision you can make for night driving safety

I completely satisfied with this lamps. Bright. No flickering. Fits Ford Focus 2014.

Nice color, super bright, true 1:1 size for the build filament but has dead spots in light output but because of the nature of the design of the light itself. I’m sure the fog light housing has an impact too because there is no reflector to scatter light back to the main reflector. Should last longer than halogen and it’s a major upgrade from standard bulbs.

I am very disappointed with the brightness, lighting distance, width of distribution and quality of light pattern.

>>>INSTALLATION & TESTING POSITION <<<

•Installation was easy

• Fitment was perfect

• The instructions didn’t state which position the bulbs should be in.. This meant trial and error was required

**POSITION OF BULB for INSTALLATION**

• I installed the bulbs two separate times

In two positions.

Each position was tested separately to see if there was different and or quality of illumination.

****PositionTest****

A- with short light bar on bottom

B- with longer light bar on bottom

There was a slight difference in the distance and but width distribution of lighting was still horrible or nonexistent.

Overall , neither position had adequate light for decent night illumination.

~~Neither position improved the visibility for driver. Both were equally poor.

***OVER ALL REVIEW ***

• BRIGH LIGHT SWITH POSITION:

>excellent distance and width of lighting. >>Unfortunately, we cannot drive with our bright lights on constantly.

>width of the light patter is extremely narrow and does not illuminate speed limit signs, pavement lane reflectors and all other reflective road signs did not reflect during night testing.

I am Very UNHAPPY with this product.

**WHERE WAS LIGHTS TESTED***

I live in the city and testing was done in city as well as areas without street lights or traffic.

>>>>>>TESTING OUTCOME>>>>>>

• lights would barely light up the street signs and road markers. Did not cause reflection to occur.

• Did not illuminate reflective road stripes speed limit signs , deer crossing signs and reflective side barrier bars.

• Following behind a car at two 2 car lengths, approximately 20’ feet away, I could not see the reflective car tags on car in-front of me , and the car itself was extremely difficult to see .

• These Headlights have almost no illumination width to them.

Ie. When making Left or Right turns there was ZERO Illumination on curb or sidewalk!

• Bulbs do not meet the standards of the manufacturer details. In fact, there’s a huge discrepancy in the actual lighting and the manufacture written and visual descriptions of the bulbs.

****OVERVIEW****

• Does not improve visibility

• Visibility width is terrible

• Light pattern is poor

• High Beam is very good yet still zero width illumination.

In conclusion :

I was extremely disappointed with the performance and functionality

‘ n T noo no of these bulbs and will seek an alternative product.
