This Simdevanma LED light was installed in my 2008 Honda Odyssey which uses 9006 bulb size. This LED light comes in many different sizes, so check to make sure you get the one that fits your vehicle. On my Honda Odyssey, it has halogen bulb in reflector housing, and I wanted to upgrade to LED without altering the beam pattern than the stock lights.
First thing I did was bench test the light to see how bright and color output. There are 2 LED COB chips on each light. The light output was very bright and very white without any hint to blue. There is a fan at the base of the bulb to cool the light. The unit also has the LED driver integrated into the base of the light assembly (no need for external LED driver box like other brands). The light was warm to the touch and the heatsink and fan kept it operational.
After the bench test, I installed it into my vehicle. Installation was very easy. Just remove the old halogen bulb and install the new LED one with a quarter twist. Turned on the light and immediately saw how well they perform. The light output was white and a good amount brighter than halogen. The most important thing is these lights did not put out anymore glare than the halogen bulb. The beam pattern and top cutoff was the same. The LED one had a beam pattern that was a bit higher than stock but that was easily fixed with the adjustment screw on the headlight assembly. After installing both of them, I went for a test drive and saw a major improvement. You can see the result in my review video.
One thing I want to mentioned, ‘yes’ there are some LED lights on the market which may have higher lumens, but those other lights will give out so much glare and changes the beam pattern so much making it not safe to use. These Simdevanma did not have this problem at all with great light output.
Overall an excellent set of lights and perfect for any reflector housing halogen upgrade. Recommend!
