Hey guys my bulbs need changing and I was looking at h11 LED bulbs. But I'm not sure if I should stick to halogen h-11 bulbs. Can I get your input. Thank you in advance.
I've been changing halogen lighting to LED for several years now. No one has ever asked to have their old halogens put back in, lol. Every car has shown a vast improvement in night time driving visibility, with only several of the older cars (15 + years) sometimes needing adjustment for proper aim.
Carid.com is an excellent source for quality lighting and cross referencing the correct bulb. A little on the expensive side, but I have found out that you really get what you pay for when it comes to LED lighting. I have found out that the newer 2 LED design for the H series throws a much cleaner sharper cut-off line in low beam mode. That style also works well with the projector headlights.
On the cutting edge, there is a new series of LEDs now just making it out to manufacturing that uses about 30% less power, while providing about 40% more lumens (light output). For example, I had replaced all the T10 bulbs on my Murano with LEDs 2 years ago, turn, license plate, backup, and side marker lights. I've just replaced them all with the newer chips, with only 3 LEDs per bulb versus the old LED T10s which had 15 LEDs per bulb. Lumens is higher and the output is sharper, really noticeable when using reverse.
Yeah, I have them in my car right now, I just did them because it was widely done thing but I should check out LEDs. I have some for my license plate light they are bright as hell.
I still have the original bulbs in my 09. They are still bright especially the high beams. If they go out I’ll put the same one in. I have a 16 Edge and the halogens are weak so I’ll replace then with LEDS. Good videos on YouTube
Adobo_Santos, a lot of the difference in your photo is color temperature difference between the LEDs and the halogens. Most halogens are 3700 degrees, but they are available in "whiter" colors, meaning around 5000 degrees or even a bit higher. LEDs come in a selection of color temps as well, but often are around 5000. Clearly you went wit a higher color temp in the driver's side lights, which is fine.
That explains the color difference. How much the LEDs provided better lighting is another issue. The driver's side definitely looks brighter on the car in front, but the glare on the driver's side light may be the camera angle.
Getting the spec on the lumens generated by the LED vs. the halogen would answer the question about actual light output. Please let us know the output of the lamps on the left right side in lumens - that would tell us a lot.
Be sure the orientation of the LED bulb is vertical, with the LEDs pointing to the sides.
Just looking at the reflection of the lighting on the van in front of your car, I can tell that you'll be able so see much better. Even with only one bulb installed.

Like I've said in the past, "I've never had anyone who's converted to LED headlights correctly come back wanting their old halogen bulbs back in.". Every complaint that I've personally dealt with was the result of someone using cheap LED bulbs or not using the correct LED assembly for the headlight housing.
It getting harder and harder to get a "bad/off" LED headlight, unless you're being cheap and only looking at the $50 and under LED headlights.
So there are 139,000 miles on my car. About a month ago, my car started hesitating when starting out. It cranks fine, rpms seem normal. It wouldn't hesitate every time. When I say hesitate, I mean I'll be at a light or stop sign, I press the gas and it starts to go then all of a sudden it's like...
I bought used murano 2009, it has check engine on and high fuel consumption, also noisy starting in morning, they diagnosed multi missfire then colis fualty, but that didn't turned check engine off, then I have been told it may has sludge oil causing problem, or wrong timing chain set. As old...
I own a 2009 Murano SL, FWD. I bought it used with approximately 36000 miles. Around a year after I bought it, a problem arose, where only sometimes when starting from a stop, there is a noticeable clunk that you can hear and feel in the floor. The sound never happens when stopping suddenly or...
Hi all, new here - looking at a 2012 SL AWD with 123K miles for $8000 OTD - good deal? includes TT&L
Concerned tho about the CVT tranny - first thing I would do is swap the fluid - but....I want to keep this vehicle long term - but a little scared of the CVT rebuild cost. I know some Muranos...
anybody putting on any thing these days...id like to but its still over 400.00 dollar plus install ..I have 2014 Murano and would like to have these cause I never see any on any Murano my age around here....any diy led drls...I did do a search but most of the threads are really old and some of...
