You can tell how good your headlights are if you have driven late at night on a rural backroad without much moonlight or made the commute to Tempe on a rainy day. Traditional halogen headlights aren’t bright enough on dark roads where streetlights aren’t expected. There are alternatives that can provide more light and better visibility, though. The most popular non-halogen headlight bulbs are LED. But are LED headlights actually better than halogen bulbs? The expert team in our service department explains the differences between both bulb types in this helpful breakdown.
Your assessment of LED bulbs will determine whether you think they are superior to standard headlights. LED headlights emit a whiter, brighter light. Typically, they produce between 2,000 and 4,000 lumens. To put things into perspective, a halogen bulb’s high and low beams each produce 1200 and 700 lumens, respectively. LED lights, therefore, cover a wider area and make the objects there more visible. When compared to standard halogen bulbs, LED lights are significantly more expensive. The average cost of a single LED bulb is around $70. A two-pack of halogen bulbs costs $30. At Trucks Only, we’re proud to offer the greater Tucson area great prices on genuine OEM LED headlights and so much more!
Are LED Headlights Street Legal?Yes, generally speaking. Every automobile equipped with LED headlights, such as the 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn or the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500, must adhere to state auto regulations. The OEM installed those LED lights correctly and in accordance with strict guidelines. Although some aftermarket kits might be too bright or unfocused to be allowed, others might not. Expert installation and OEM parts ensure your headlights adhere to the law. Reach out to us today to set up an LED headlight installation at our Phoenix location!
