LED headlight bulbs - upgradeable ??

[Fatbloke]

Hi All

I have LED headlights. They give a nice white light but it's not a very bright light.

Are there higher power replacement bulbs available?

Cheers

Amazed you don't find these bright enough.

I'd be surprised if there were replacements that weren't so bright that they would be an annoyance to others.

It's going to be exactly the same beam pattern and height adjustment so no reason they would be an annoyance to anyone.

You would naturally think that but it's not always the case when changing bulbs, because some can throw light in different directions which is shown in group tests.
Whether this is enough to be an annoyance to other drivers I cannot say though.
I find the LED's on my car plenty bright enough.
I always used to upgrade Halogen headlight bulbs, but have never felt the need with Xenon or LED.

Simple answer: no

Advice: check your headlights for powerout faults etc.

The Led headlights are really bright, so if you don't find them bright enough...maybe something is wrong with them.

Not when going over the crest of a hill etc.

I often find cars with standard Xenons or LEDs approaching from the other direction pretty bright on an unlit road.

Maybe he has PFL with LED headlights (non-matrix) and those are kinda weak.

There's no bulb upgrade for the Audi led units.... they ain't bulbs as such =led modules pretty sure there sealed units as well so no DIY

It's a FL 2016. The lights are not bad on an unlit dry road but if wet or other light sources are there, they are not so good.

Have you had a car with better lights?

Recalibrate them or adjust them. It should give a lot of light

Same as all headlights then in the conditions you describe . Even with matrix headlights

Never heard of someone complaining of these lights being too dim, I get flashed regularly as people probably assume I'm on full beam when I'm not.

I'm assuming you have factory fitted LED lights and not after market LED bulbs fitted in halogen lamps. Factory LED should give no cause for complaint, so if you're not happy then as has been suggested they probably need beam alignment or similar. From what I read, the performance of after market LEDs is, shall we say, variable. As an example, if the light source doesn't exactly match that of the halogen bulb, beam focus will be heavily compromised.
