Led headlight bulbs 9&3 position

You will need to check the light pattern in the dark. Many aftermarket LEDs will never pattern correctly when installed on factory halogen bulb housings because they didn’t actually design them to pattern like the factory bulbs. Those LEDs will simultaneously blind oncoming drivers and scatter light in ways that make you see less (compared to just factory bulbs). I went through this with a cheap set before and won’t “upgrade“ to LEDs again. I just get the better line of halogen bulb.

I did say I had a cheap set, so if you got a reputable brand and they pattern right, just check when its dark.

Why Choose Multi-Sided LED Headlight Bulbs? Benefits Explained
March 19, 2025 - This example goes to show that more LEDs aren’t better. The goal is precision and alignment. ... Now, if you have a dual-beam headlight, like an H4, H13, or 9007, and you’ve got a headlight that takes one bulb to do both low beam and high beam, your halogen bulb is going to have two filaments inside of it. So, let’s test that too. I’ve got this black three-sided LED bulb, and I’ve got a two-sided bulb from GTR Lighting.
