2020 Elantra (AD) - LED projector beam recommendation? (lemmy.ca)

Hello!

I live in the parts of Canada where we have dark and cold winters, and I spend a lot of time on unlit highways.

I feel like the OEM halogens don't cut it for those long drives. I'm looking for:

A high quality LED bulb that will be durable
That won't blind others (good light pattern)
Ideally matches the DRL LED in colour temperature (maybe 9000k?)

Some people have recommended light bars, but they are very much illegal here on public roads.

TIA!

I don’t have specific information, but if you want to switch from halogen lights you will also have to replace the reflectors to keep your lights from blinding others.

It's a projector beam, not a reflector, I don't believe there's anything to be replaced but I could be wrong as there is a mirror in there.

What I heard is you have to pick the right LEDs for your specific projectors.

If the mirror does have to be replaced, where would I start looking?

You'll want a thin PCB for the LEDs to be able emit light in a pattern as close as possible to the filament in a halogen bulb. Here's the video I watched when shopping for LED bulbs for a CN7: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nnD_sDWNjEw

Here's another video that goes into more detail and also talks about cooling: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FPcE-fWHmww

Thank you, very informative videos! Incidentally, I've been recommended the DD SL2 Pro with a DD canbus anti-flicker module by a local shop. The video gives high praise to the SL1, so I'm hopeful the SL 2 will be better!

EDIT: I just purchased the SL2, will update the main post once they are installed!
