Review: 12 Watt Cree LED H8 from HPB

ryme · 09-13-2012, 09:03 AM

Got the new LED AE a week ago. As everybody who has experienced the pleasure of installing this by themselves, it was a pain in the ass. In the end, I'm very satisfied. Thumbs up to HPB. Now, some pictures:

Depends on the angle. For a fuller look I recommend the 20 watt.

I have to admit,at midday,I can only see the inner ring.But around 5pm,both rings lit up pretty evenly.Considering this is my 1st time changing my bulbs,I am well pleased with it. Thanks Jeff for being a good support while I was waiting for the LED Cree to arrived. Maybe one day I will try the 20. Watts.

The 12 watt is a nice upgrade over stock for anyone, especially for the price. LED technology moves quick like computer technology. In the future we hope to see 25watt and even 30 watt options, it's only a matter of time.

Here's an update on the LED. Taken around 5pm. The driveway was actually design spontaneously, hehe.
