What would recommend? It’s for a 2011 honda accord SE. Also is there a way to tell how many lumens it has, since alot of headlights I have seen for sale don’t list it. ---

Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a "luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths, this weighting is standardized by the CIE and ISO. One lux is one lu Th... ---

You’ve already asked for everyone’s advice on replacing the bulbs with non-LED bulbs, and you’ve chosen to ignore that advice. Would you please explain why you’d come back for more advice rather than reading online reviews and deciding for yourself? ---

“Ignore that advice”? No, I changed my mind after learning more about LED bulbs. What a rude post. I read online reviews of LED’s but want to know if anyone has tried one they like. ---

I apologize if I offended you. I was careful to say “please” when I posed my question, and I thought that making my point a question rather than a declaration would give you a chance to explain yourself without being offended. Again, I apologize for offending you, and if you’d like to offer a direct answer to my direct question, I’m happy to bring this back to a civil discussion. ---

Has anyone tried the OPT7 LED’s? ---

I watched a few videos for the LEDs. There all the same. Well, some have a silver housing and some are bronze. Some have black boxes and some don’t. Pay $125 and ur good to go. Pay $50? Probably not so good.
