Are We doing LED bulbs ?

[Samuraj]

For sure my tahoe needs fog lights , so why not LED ?
And i was thinking about HawkGlow bulbs for Hi beam , and some quality halogen for Low beam
any recommendations ?

Honestly… I’ve been using Temu specials in my low bean and fog lights (two different wicked) Way better than stock. Someone will likely tell me I’m crazy and I’m wrong but not sure what that there is a difference in quality till paying hundreds of $$ for LEDs. Go with something affordable would be my recommendation.

IMO, there is a big difference between quality LEDs and cheap LEDs. The difference that I see is in the longevity of the LED's life. I've had cheap ones fail after a year or two, but I've never had a quality LED fail. My situation could be an outlier, but I don't think so.

At this time I'm converting to GTR LEDs from Headlight Revolution. They are pricey, but they have a lifetime warranty.

I don’t disagree with your assessment but if a higher end LED costs $100+ and a cheap set is $20 (tops - last two sets I’ve bought have been $15 with shipping) and last 2yrs… that still a 5yr or longer till you “save money?” Worth it? I’m don’t know

**please note that I’m not arguing, just discussion prompting

Ya…now I will admit that premium is still premium but I think to get full use of the LED the factory housing are not ideal. That’s why Morimoto exists but that’s $1500 for a set

I do recommend the LED for low beam lights. They are still (IMO) way better than any halogen bulb. My experience with premium halogens has been very short life span due to their higher heat point.
