We just had to get our hands on the newest PNP bulb product to hit the market to try it out. We think, generally speaking, for a first generation of the product type - it has promise. We don't think that this specific bulb has a lot of functional applications but it's an interesting turn in the industry!

We Do Lighting Better Because We Test! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
As if people with their blinding auxiliary driving lamps aren’t bad enough, now they’ve got lasers for lamps! Fantastic!
I feel your pain...
BMW uses laser lights correctly as a high high beam and their range is 600m of usable light. The majority of idiots running aftermarket bulbs just blind people due to the wrong application for their housing
If people are putting illegal HID kits and LED bulbs into their cars, do you think they care about other drivers?
@@rogersanchez9635 Oh, are you triggered little man child? What is wrong with you?
Are you guys morons. It's not the laser that emits the lights. It's the phosphorous. The laser faces backwards and is only used to excite the phosphorous thus causing it to emit a light. Also, after market LEDs and HIDs are perfectly fine and glare free provided you aim them properly ie not a cheap jerk that try to do it themselves
When the car in front is slowing traffic, just use your high beam laser lights and blow them up. Problem solved🚘🤣
Edgar Alvarado bruh lmfao!
True way too many slow pokes in the fast / passing lane.
If I flash the high beams rapidly do the headlamps go "pEw pEw pEw"?
I got a day dream boner because of that. I wish i have that tech on my car where its like firing an Ion canon
Perfect for a flashlight the pattern is spot on. Lol.
Exactly. Driving, not so much as you need more of a flood then a spot light
It's already a thing
LEP flashlights already exist. Weltool W3 and Acebeam W30.
Even for a handheld flashlight, you usually want more flood. However, for a rifle light they are fantastic. For defensive use you can quasi use them as an aiming device, incredibly disorienting and blinding to anyone you point it at, and unlike most flashlights the distance penetration is absolutely outstanding and you only need to see what is right in front of and around your sights.
“I want some frikken lasers for my Jeep!” He said in his best Dr. Evil voice.
Yes!! haha
OMG ROFLOL
Now blinding everyone while driving isnt only for the rich.
Oh man lol
Exactly why I have HID high beams.
Mother fuckers kept bright lighting me in their Ram’s, F-150’s, and Silverado’s.
Now when I flash them back, they just about turn their headlights off
(HID high beams are worthless if they aren’t warmed up(which takes about 20-30 seconds on a cold day), but if you just turned them off, they will pop on at full brightness like LED’s)
Nothing like blinding the peasants 😂
@@aries1174 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Laser high beams in newer cars are used in conjunction with a secondary high beam pattern. The laser is purely to illuminate very far down a highway for instance, that is its intended purpose, it’s obvious it’s rendered completely useless in any other application
Thank you for the extra insight!
That is a current implementation but that does not mean it could not be used elsewhere in a properly design, purpose built fixture, not something it was never intended to be used in. "Laser" illuminated phosphor has high luminance which allows long projection, but it could also be used for better light control up close, but LEDs are good enough, cost less, and are much more efficient.
You just made that up.
@@frisbee544 was that directed at me?
I feel they would be super useful for a bar type light. Laser bars for offroading. That would be awesome
Most definitely!
Baja Designs has a "laser" light bars and pods but they're pricey.
@@PrecisionDan I tried to find laser bulbs online for H1 sockets but no luck.
@@FlamJongUn yeah, bulbs, I have no idea who makes some let alone quality ones 😅
@@FlamJongUn and you never will. It's just too small for this kind of "bulb".
Great video. I heard about laser headlights in Car and Driver years ago but now I see why they haven't come along, yet. Thank you!
I already did buy a few of those laser bulbs. I'm using it in it's intended purpose as a long range additional spot beams in addition to my LED high beams, KC Daylighter HIDs, and Diode Dynamics LED bar all relay wired to come on on high beam circuit. The yellow glow is fantastic for really late night driving because of reduced eye fatigue, which makes enough difference that I disable my light bar on long drives because it's too blue. Mounted to my "rally support truck" I use for rallies because you need maximum throw when driving way too fast on gravel and paved roads going from stage to stage to beat the rally cars to the next stage. We'll see on long term review how they hold up. BTW they also sell then in a small housing so you don't have to lose a set of fog lights or high beam spots to use them as spot lights.
I googled how BMW lasers work and it seems to me the only way this will work is for a company to make whole headlight assemblies rather than just bulb swaps. Seems like its a pretty complex system with mirrors and such inside the lamp assembly.
Yes, that's the idea. But then again, 10 years ago nobody thought you could make a suitable LED headlight bulb either - and yet here we are! I'm sure in the future someone will be able to make one that works right, but for now the technology is too undeveloped. Check this out though: betterautomotivelighting.com/2017/01/19/morimoto-laser-bulb-concept-revealed-at-dvn-detroit-2017/
@@HeadlightRevolution Except those headlight bulbs DONT work well. Your so-called beam pattern that looked just like halogen really didn't look anything like the halogen beam to the trained eye. It had holes, overly bright areas .... it was a hodge-podge of poor lighting.
That's what I was thinking, the entire assembly is sending out light in one direction, all other types of replacement bulbs send light radially from a filament, arc or 2 or 3 leds. These would have to have custom optics to really make a comparable beam pattern.
BINGO!.......
Osram make the bulbs for BMW. BMS's press release on laser headlights is so wrong as to be embarrassing, they don't even know the difference between phosphor and phosphorus.
Thank you very much for all your effort and going through all the trouble explaining, just to save a lot of people the money. Have a great day.
We do what we can, thanks!
Great! Can’t wait to be blinded by these too.

Headlight Revolution 😂
Headlight Revolution too funny 😂
Appreciate this honest, early assessment of this product. Thanks. I'm definitely going to wait for this lighting product category to evolve before even considering them as an aftermarket solution. Lux and beam pattern are abysmal.
Glad we could help!
Can you attach that to a shark? Cause I have one simple request... and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
No thats evil doctor.
Not yet but they are approved for dolphins currently sharks coming soon.
Lol where do u guys come from?!😂
La-ser shark do do dodo dodo!
It may need its own proprietary housing like most LED headlights do. Think they might under perform like most LED conversion kits do.
Yea but everyone wants a conversion. We think this product has a way to go before it's perfected.
I picked up some PerfectFits for my 12 Subaru Hatchback stock housings for a LED conversation and they work great in my application. Was wondering about these Laser type bulbs and believe they need a diffuser/reflector type system in front of the lense to scatter the beam to the reflectors inside stock incandescent housing to be a true conversion.
I put like 50 of these on my jeep people love it always honking at me
Surly it just needs a convex mirror in front to reflect it back at the lights refector
That may work, but at the end of the day those reflectors inside the headlight are designed to reflect light from a halogen light bulb with a filament. This reflected laser beam pattern would probably be all out of wack even if it was pointed backwards.
it's a concave lens it needs to split the beam and reshape it
I would rather think of some sort of diamond shaped prism installed in the very spot where typical bulb filament would be. It would spread laser light all around inside of headlight and make it bounce off the reflector just like it works with typical bulb. That's in theory ;-)
So now I'm gonna have to wear laser protection goggles at night to keep my retinas from being burned out?
@@tripplefives1402 it was a joke.
Thanks, learned what LUX was.
Laser: good for a night rifle!
Лазерные лампы,это вообще супер! То,что все так ждали!
HID For Life! I've tried em all! Morimoto Elete kit is the best and brightest across the board in a projection housing I've tried.
BOOM! There it is folks!
Mhmm!
I'll second that had them in my old car, 8k in reflective headlights and they were brilliant now iv got shitty normal bulbs(for the moment)in my new car, need HIDs badly
@@davidc3363 if you thought 8k were brilliant, you should try 6k or 5500k this time around, you'll be blown away :D
I have an old jeep that came with the standard 5x7 glass headlights. I replaced them with DOT/SAE led lights. It's such an improvement, I dont feel a need to go any further
needs a proper housing that reflects the light to a proper low beam pattern.. like how a low beam halogen has mirrors perfectly placed to reflect the light coming from all directions.
would be great to design one that takes the light from a central focus beam and spreads it out
That would be awesome!
That was my thought as well. If they are being used in some higher end vehicles, they have application specific reflectors/housings to use with them to get the proper/useful beam pattern.
@@anthonyleger6436 i would love to design and test it if i had the machinery lol
Very interesting and informative! I'm interested in upgrading various exterior incandescent bulbs to led on my 2009 BMW X3, but I can't seem to find the bulb type details anywhere on the net. I'd like ti find bulb types for turn indicators, brake lights, etc. Also, I'm having trouble discerning whether or not I need resistors in order to stop the LED bulb from throwing a "bulb out" code. Any suggestions on a source on the net to provide me with the info that I need rather than having to resort to pulling bulbs manually to determine the type and putting LEDs in first to see if they throw an error? Thanks!
It'll take a few years just like it did with LED direct replacement bulbs but it'll happen eventually. Great video. Buyer beware. You even have to be careful when buying direct replacement LEDs as I found in the past many of the companies try to be misleading about the lumens / lux.
Reminds me of the train headlights on a locomotive they just shine strait ahead for ever like a laser they have no side light but you could see objects 2 miles down the track on a strait away and there 74 volts each.
Nope, i'm a train-engineer and the headlights of our locomotives are just 24V H1 halogen bulbs
Jeffrey Schouten I'm talking about the freight locomotives like the GE dash 9 and gevos and sd70ace are 74 to 75 volt par56 bulbs I know I'm a rail fan and also work for HALLCON for BNSF.
Line up 20 of them and mount on roof or bumper.
That would be terrifying
@@HeadlightRevolution would be the perfect light bar. Would also make good police spotlights
Düdmæng Brøssøvítçh
Actually, fuck police.
When they are going after rapist the same way they go after marijuana users, then we can talk😂
@@mrbigbigtoe I don't think that invalidates his point...
@@mrbigbigtoeI have the controversial opinion that all drugs shouldn't be illegal. But it's dumb to group all of police into that mindset since many of them are doing there job and have no choice in the matter, which is what you want them to do. It's the stupid law that needs to be changed.
It will be great used in different form factors that are designed specifically for laser headlights. An array of 12 of these, each with small lenses, can selectively turn on and off to avoid blinding other drivers (by detecting headlights and taillights from other cars and turning lasers off pointed at them), while still providing plenty of high-beam light in other directions.
That’s definitely a good idea and we’ve seen some manufacturers trying out technology like that.
These lasers work in conbination with LED or HID (xenon) for short range (low beam). Laser is purely long range focused. Otherwise they need to make headlights like Seat does for the Leon FR where they reflect LED light (with very tiny reflectors) on the road. But then again, led is easier for that than laser since LEDs can be very small.
But what if your reflector low-beam doesn't have a glare cover.
I guess it just turns it into a high-beam
That's right. It would act the exact same way as the high beam we demo in this video.
This channel has inspired me to smash all the new headlights that keep blinding people.
Don't put us as your inspiration if you go on a crime spree! haha
I really hate those inconsiderate a-holes. They think blinding oncoming traffic will make them safer somehow. And then you have the other extreme, the ones who drive with only their foglights on and headlights off thinking they're cool.
Headlight Revolution mounting UN insurable, UN regulated, non statndardised, non saftey tested, photo toxic, pulse modulated undiffused optical radiation projector weapons aka modern headlights to the front of a car is the crime. Destroying them is justified.
@@mmtot Putting anything but halogen bulbs in a housing designed for halogen bulbs and driving on the street actually is a crime. I wish the cops would do their job and pull these idiots over and impound their vehicle.
neo 71665 the people making them need to go to prison as well as the goons in the state that allowed them to be on the roads.
👍🏼Good video guys! I’m glad you guys do videos like this. Very informative. Good information to know so we don’t make the mistake of wasting our money on such rubbish. Hopefully they redesign this to “mimic” a typical halogen bulb.
So glad we could be of help! thanks for watching!
Very informative as usual! Thank you from 🇨🇦
You’re welcome, Thank you for the support!
Agreed, needs some work. I’ll stick with the SV4’s 👍
Good choice!
Mike Adams how long have you had SV 4. Reliable?
Craig Leidig Jr, It’s only been a month, they work great in my 18 Tacoma. Long term can’t say, here’s hoping 🤞🏻
Mike Adams I’m curious because to do all my front lights is $$$
Craig Leidig Jr , I understand totally it’s not cheap by any means. Most of the cheaper ones don’t work in my projector low beams.
When there’s an option for laser always choose laser
I'd love one but for my ebike to light up way in front but when you don't want to blind drivers, i like that it doesn't bleed out far.
I saw one bicycle the light was so bright i had too pull over and close my eyes till it passed. I could not risk moving forward not knowing what was in front of me.
Its a big help,idea for me and get some knowledge..thank you👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Pew! pew!

Needs a collimator lens. Would be great for guns or aircraft.
Definitely!
Thanks man.. This is informative and eye opening
No problem, thanks for watching.
Well done comparisons. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
So, they haven't quite perfect LED lighting and decided to go onto something new. Seems about right.
LEDs are fanastic, and this is really just a different type of LED than a true laser. The problem with LEDs is how to get them to work in headlights designed for incandescent bulbs. Headlights designed from the getgo for LEDs just face them forward with a big thick heatsink on the back, and they work perfectly.
The morimoto concept where the laser is exciting the photons of the the phosphorus film is going to be the go to once the design is matured. The phosphorus can mimic the proper placement of the filament and I bet could be designed to get more angle of emission closer to 360 degs.
Yes! Finally someone who has been paying attention! I agree - their design is probably the best.
@@HeadlightRevolution as a mechanical engineer for space station I tend to notice details like that :)
@@mugenrios2k wow... well then!
I want a nice yellow h11 led fog light. Do you guys sell those? I got your v.4 in my 03 Sierra low beams and they fit so good and are nice a clear. The fans are quite too. I love them
It looks like a phosphor sphere in the middle that would act as the replacement filament would be the correct solution
If it can't mimic perfectly what's supposed to sit in your housing, stay far away from it. Factory laser headlights are complicated, custom designs that can't be replaced with a bulb-swap. The only option to get "giant lazurs" is to find OEM replacements or aftermarket headlight housings and even then, if the result is not safe for others on the road, return it.
Good assessment!
I was also interested in testing them in my car's fog lamps, but think I will pass.
Very informative video, thanks!
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
I think with the appropriate beam spreader and diffuser the laser would work pretty well.
But how does it work then in the original cars (ie Mercedes or BMW)?
The indicators don't even work properly on these vehicles
it has a complicated lens and mirror system with proper engineering for a good beam pattern.
Not very well it looks like.
The laser is in what looks like an hid assembly.
The lasers are blue and are bounced off a mirror.
From the mirror in to a phospher cube.
And from there hits the parabolic lense.
I have designed one based off bmw, but no way to build a prototype.
The first bmw laser headlights were not legal in us cars.
It's perfect for a motorcycle. 🏍️🤣
It really is! They would fit great and be brighter than most LEDs or HIDs on the market!
First video I’ve seen that explains lux for people who don’t know what it means. Great job!
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this review
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Looks like it might make a good flashlight maybe not though
for real!
They are on the market recently also. They look real nice too
I believe there are two different companies making a flashlight version of this shines 1.1 miles insane
I think a flashlight is the only use for this laser bulb.
There is already one out there acebeam w30 its £400 though
1950: we will have jet packs in the future.
2019:. Here you can buy lasers to replace your vehicles headlights
Lol
Too true!
Thinking about the morimoto bi-led projector with laser highbeam now. Seems like it's the best use of the laser.
From the title I was curious how it would achieve scattering/diffusion, I guess it doesn't. 😂
A hybrid configuration would be interesting, e.g. Laser for intensity + LED for spread.
You didn't slow what it looks like in a projector so it's not a fair comparison
Colby, the footage from 3:15 - 4:28 is exactly what you're looking for. At the 4:27 mark in the video you can see a side by side comparison of a projector headlight with halogen, LED and laser all together. Not sure how you missed that.
As a frequent reviewer of LED lights as well, I was very excited to see the title of this video. But, the results killed that excitement immediately. That's OK, better to be educated than wrong. However, I can imagine that there's going to be a lot of idiots out there that buy and install one of these based on the word "laser" alone...and blinding every single oncoming driver in the process. Great video, thanks for informing.
Jason, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Your videos are great and we love your homemade integrating sphere! Please don't hate us if we buy a real one to take our videos to the next level... :D
Anyway, you're spot on with everything you said here and even though there's a warning on CZcams sadly it's not enough! Plenty of people will see these advertised on Facebook and just "gotta have them". Hopefully they get discouraged with the weird beam pattern and go back to something a little more standard to drive with.
Sure the on coming traffic is going to love your lazer lights
Oh they'll be all about it!
If I a) had the money for it and b) had fog lights on my car, I would use these in that application. Properly aimed (a topic neglected in the video), they should do wonders to shoot light out a good distance to illuminate the road itself without blinding oncoming traffic.
Frickin’ “laser bulbs”
whatcha gonna do!
Another light to blind me
Hopefully these won't be seen on the roads much for a while!
The one place I could see this actually being useful is on a dual reflector headlight that’s been retrofitted with a bi-xenon/bi-led projector. This bulb could go in the stock high beam location and be a spot light supplement to the high beam from your retrofitted projector.
In that case we'd recommend a proper laser projector. Pretty sure someone makes that now too.
This video helped a lot 👍
Glad you think so!
The last thing we need is brighter head lights.
Not true: betterautomotivelighting.com/2019/08/22/theres-a-reason-your-new-headlights-suck/
Modern headlights have been weponised, you are justified in destroying them.
I think it still needs a lot of work. But who knows? It may be the best option some day if they can get the beam pattern worked out, along with the color.
Very useful review with comparisons, thanks.
I searched through comments (kudos for your great followups) and noticed that your comment on where to buy was there is no US supplier at the moment... Not sure if this is because you don't want people to purchase a (for cars) rather useless product or if it isn't for sale publicly anywhere....but I have been trying to get hold of something like this for a while for a search light project.
At the moment my only alternative is to purchase and hack one of two flashlights but that is going to set me back at least 250usd, and I need several of these to even be close to being useful.
A more barebones construction like a bulb is what I need, so if you could share some information on where to purchase I would be very thankful.
We really don't know of any US suppliers offering this product right now. But, mark my words, by Christmas-time this exact product will be flooding Amazon.com.
So in other words "frik'n" lasers are worthless lol
In a plug and play bulb replacement you're "frik'n" right! Maybe someday (hopefully) there will be a useful laser product available! But not yet... Might be good for novelty's sake though!
Should be banned. Driving at night for the person going towards them is nothing but blinding.
For now, agreed!
@@HeadlightRevolution nothing wrong my halogen or xenon bulbs. The light spread of headlamps themselves can vary from make to make and model. I have xenon 120% brighter bulbs in my car. Still nothing like HID etc and they are good enough. I drive for a living and I'm constantly blinded by new generation headlamp bulbs. And daylight running lights.
great review.. I was waiting for aftermarket laser lights. Now I know it's not what I want ...
Reminds me of Rally Driving Lights. Narrow field, long range.
Question: What LED set works best in a 2011 Jeep Compass? (Lo & Hi beams)
We haven't had a chance to do any testing with the Compass's yet, but if it's like any other Jeep, the S-v.4's will perform phenomenally.

Que honestidad de señor
I was just about to buy these laser lights for my mg zs ev as this car came out with old halogen boring bulbs and they burn out after every two weeks (sick of that) thanks for this video I'll go for led bulbs now I hope they work better than halogen bulbs in the projectors of my MG I saw your video for the gtr LED bulbs gonna look for those on Internet as I live in France gotta order that item online ...
I have an Alfa 159 with 3 housings per side, currently I have them all Bi-LED (so 6 bi-led) maybe if i went down to 4 x Bi-LED and used these in the inner lenses to acompany the normal night beam it would give a super long throw and the width for a high?
While walking my dogs at night I've seen a few of these out in the wild. They're like a massive wall of light.
I could see using these as a compliment to the main headlights but definitely not the primary.
That is very true.
Great info definitely passing on the laser at the moment.
Maybe someday in the future!
Thanks for the video. What brought me to your video was how you demonstrate the fixtures out of the car. I had a couple new H11 bulbs given to me and I thought it might be possible to repurpose a car light fixture as a hard wired spotlight, hand held or otherwise, for my boat. There are no videos that address this DIYer project and I wondered whether or not you might have any thoughts on this idea.
It's definitely possible, You would need to find some H11 housings, a 12v source, and some sort of switch!
I certainly feel like this tech could work (but not with that lens design). What they need to do move the phosphor out to the same position as stock headlight filaments and then give the top and bottom a mirrored cone (bottom one would need a hole for the laser to hit the phosphor).
Basically the same lesson the LED bulb manufactures learned.
exactly. Re configure the housing and the lens
What brand are these? I would love some for auxiliary, momentary, lighting for use instead of headlamps to signal drivers (in the far left lane on a four lane highway) to please move to the right for faster drivers. It would prevent other drivers for getting that cast off from regular LED high beams when you flicker them real fast. Also, these with a blue tone would be awesome to place on a light bar for police vehicles. Drivers forever want to not move out of the way. It would be really hard for one that has a couple of blue lasers put in thru their back window to say "I didnt see the emergency vehicle."
Excellent video. I have a question.. When you change halogens to led, what happens to the day light running lights?
That depends on each vehicle and how their electrical system creates the DRL function. Sometimes it works fine out of the box, sometimes you need extra parts, and sometimes it needs to be disabled completely - all depends on what vehicle you have.
Really wish you had used the HID in this test too
What if the refractor in the standard mirror headlight is pulled out, could be like the high beam.
The spread is still so small that you can overlook a person standing between the lights, 5 meters in front of the car.
If the "lazers" hit a reflective road sign, you might even blind yourself so much, that you can not see the road anymore.
Can we find a way to utilize it ?
Anyways thanks for the insight.
I'll pass too
I think this is perfect for a DIY flash light project
accurate!
Great video, lots of information. So would you know who or where I may find a direct fit LED plug&play low-beam headlight conversion from a factory HID headlight 2007 Lexus IS250.. Thanks
We have a few different options for you, Send us an email to Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com with your vehicle info and we will go over exactly what you need!
very well presented
Glad you liked it!
I love it! Send it my way so I can do some highbeam videos on the road for real world stuff! :)
Sorry Anthony, we already tore it apart FOR SCIENCE!
Headlight Revolution nooooooo 😂. No worries
It may work well as a daytime running light...?
I have a 2013 Nissan Altima low beams are dull no matter the type of hallogen bulb I put in. What would you recommend??
What would you recommend for projector headlights, I have a 2015 Dodge Charger, 2015 Ford Explorer and a 2014 Ford Taurus and all have projector headlights and I’ve tried dozens of LED and HID bulbs and i don’t get good light while driving at night, I thought these laser lights would do the trick but after watching your video I guess not.
We will better be able to assist you if you send our customer service reps an email. they will be able to hook you up with the best for each application. You can reach them at sales@headlightrevolution.com
Good break down
Thank you Robin!
Please tell me how to power up any LED headlights to see if they work prior to installing them. Do you use some sort of a 12V testing kit?
We use a custom table and display case to test the lights. This is not typically something you would have at home, however.
To bad you couldn't make the lenz bigger. That would be perfect for the trails when you need to see further. It would be good for a road trip, like across Montana with flat roads. I would love to pair them with LEDs. Have a pair of LED fog lights with a pair of the laser lights too.
Love your reviews and channel.
By the way, 3,000 meters is 3 kilometers, about 1.8 miles.
I doubt that laser projects that far out... Lol
I would not be surprised i have been almost blinded by AUDi headlights from about 4.6 miles away wile i was in my kitchen
I use the Laser bulb for assisting the Bi-Led projector High-beam, to provide more bright when I really need on the dark road at night. ^0^
Nice!
A lot of engineering goes behind these lamps to get beam patterns that meet our FMVSS standards in North America and ECE standard abroad. Laser sources aren’t plug and play with “traditional”’ style lamp assemblies. They’re a whole different beast. The next 10 years are going to be very interesting with laser and LCD matrix lamps that can dynamically change their beam shape for other drivers and communicate with pedestrians.
Good points! Can't wait to see what we'll be able to do with them eventually.
Might work ok if you use the hi 4 mod. So your low stay on with the high.
I need a pair of these to play with... If nothing else it'd make a fun flashlight / piece.
Scratch that, like a dozen of them to put in an array, maybe with enough room for a diffuser. If the phosphor isn't a part of the lens, might be able to make them work with a reflector and a fresnel lens! Would be a fun "artificial" sun.
That would be badass!
