Lead the Way with LEDs: Why You Should Be Making the Switch to LED Headlights

There is no denying that LED headlights are gaining popularity. Despite this, many cars on the road are still equipped with halogen headlights. This is especially true for older vehicles.

Now, one of the reasons that people are so fond of halogen headlights is the cost and ease of replacement. You can find a set of these at any auto store and replacing these lights will just take a few moments. Nevertheless, if you still have halogen headlights on your car, it’s time to think about switching to LED headlights.

In case you aren't convinced, here are some arguments to consider:

LED Headlights Improve Night Driving Safety

The reason headlights are so important is that they ensure your safety while driving at night. So, naturally, you should opt for headlights that ensure maximum safety. This is where LED headlights come in.

For one, LED headlights are one of the brightest and whitest options available out there. This means that they are far better equipped to illuminate the road ahead while picking up what you need to see. Furthermore, LED headlights can illuminate a wider and longer path ahead of your vehicle.

In doing so, the headlights can alert you in advance to any objects or vehicles in front of you. Thus, it will be easier to react to any obstacles, reducing the risks of accidents.

Last, but not least, LED headlights have greater reflective features. This means that they reflect the light from road signs, so you know where they are. Needless to say, this will help you observe road rules more readily.

LED Headlights Last Longer

Did you know that on average, LED headlights are supposed to last up to 30,000 hours? This means that they beat all the other competition outright. Halogen bulbs typically last only a thousand or so hours. Xenon – its closes competitor – is meant to last 20,000 hours.

Needless to say, one of the main benefits of LED headlights is that they last longer than traditional headlights. As a result, you won’t need to swap them out quite as often. This can cut down on how much maintenance you need to do.

This also helps to offset the overall cost of LED headlights. While they may cost more than halogen headlights, they don’t need to be changed as often. Thus, in the long run, you will end up breaking even or possibly saving money!

LED Headlights are More Eco-Friendly

LED technology has an important feature – these headlights can utilize energy more efficiently. This means that they only consume as much energy as is required to power the lights. In turn, this energy isn’t unnecessarily wasted on heat energy.

It is this feature that makes LED headlights so suitable for older cars. Since the lights don’t require as much power, they aren't such a drain on the power supply. This allows older cars to redirect power to more important parts of the vehicle.

More significantly, LED headlights are more eco-friendly than halogen lights. Thus, they are better for the environment which is something that drivers today are particularly concerned with. Even if this does not interest you, LED headlights can help to reduce fuel consumption. In doing so, you can save money in the long run.

LED Headlights Create a More Streamlined Look

Sure, the aesthetic appeal may not be the most important element of a vehicle. Nevertheless, most people like to have a sleek and good-looking car. Well, LED headlights can help in this respect as well. This is due to their smaller size.

Since the lights are smaller, they can be formed into virtually any shape. This includes a sleeker headlamp shape. Not to mention, the lights don’t protrude as much. Thus, you will be able to enjoy a better-looking car.

This is also why luxury cars tend to opt for LED headlights. With these features, they can produce more sophisticated looking cars. You, however, can enjoy this feature without having to splurge on a more expensive vehicle.

LED Headlights are Easier to Install

As mentioned, there is a difference between halogen and LED headlights. Due to this, most car owners assume that transitioning from halogen to LED headlights is a tricky process. However, this isn’t the case at all.

Newer LED headlight sets have a plug and play function. As the name suggests, these are LED headlights with bulb bases that fit into the same socket as halogen bulbs. Thus, you won’t need to make any changes to the connection. Instead, it is as easy as plugging the LED headlights in and having them work immediately.

If you own a luxury car, you may be wondering how the LED headlights will function with a CanBUS system. Well, once again, there is no need for concern. Specific kits are equipped with capacitors that ensure the system and the LED headlights are compatible.

LED headlights are the futures of cars. So, even if car manufacturers are actively outfitting vehicles with them, you should certainly consider switching out your halogen headlights for these innovative lights.

Although the initial cost of the LED headlights may seem off-putting, keep in mind that they will more than makeup for it in value. As you won’t need to change these headlights nearly as often, you don’t have to spend additional funds on new lights. This way, you will find that LED headlights are the superior choice in many respects.
