Step One: Masking Ensure that your vehicle is clean and dry, parked in the shade so that it is cool to the touch. Mask the area around the emblem(s) that you are changing the colour of, to prevent over spray. Make sure to leave approximately one inch of exposed paint around the area to help with later steps.

Now that I’ve had the light bar installed for over a week, I’ve had plenty of time to adjust it and get used to it. What do I think of it? I think that it’s amazingly bright, and even puts my 30,000+ lumens of headlights and driving lights to shame. But don’t just take my word for it, there are plenty of photos below to help you reach your own conclusions.

Another day, another set of LEDs upgraded. For those of you with a good memory, this is my fourth set of driving light bulbs. Some of you may ask if the others didn’t work properly, or if they simply were not bright enough. The answer is neither; Like wanting to eat the last slice of pizza when you’re already full, there’s always room to cram more goodies in. You can find my original reviews linked below for comparison, with the new review under the original two.

To preface this #BlogPost style review which will mainly be dealing with my most recent upgrade from 10,000 lumen LED headlights to 16,000 lumen LED headlights, I’m going to link my previous review. It was a comparison strictly between the Silverstar Ultras and 10,000 lumen LED headlights. [Silverstar Ultras vs 10,000 lumen LED headlights] ( https://www.carthrottle.com/post/a5oy44x/ )

After too long of a wait, I have recieved my LED bulbs for my front dome / map lights. These bulbs are angled towards the rear of the car, to provide illumination for the rear seats as well. There is no rear dome light on my Focus, due to the sunroof being in the way.

If you’ve been considering upgrading any bulbs on your own vehicle, or just like the idea of bright lights and the ability to see at night, this post is is for you. This is the culmination of roughly a year worth of upgrading dozens of different bulbs on the exterior of my daily to LED. This post will show stock versus the upgraded LEDs, and sometimes LEDs versus even better LEDs. I’ll also be giving costs, lumens output versus stock, and a lumens/dollar ratio. Lumens per dollar will be short formed to LPD, and any costs will be in Canadian dollars.

This is an all out comparison between Sylvania’s Silverstar Ultra line of Halogen replacement bulbs versus a pair of Green-L 10,000 lumens COB LED replacement headlights. An important thing to note in this comparison is that both sets of bulbs are compared on the same vehicle, neither set are OEM style bulbs, these bulbs are H13 socket (high and low beam in a single bulb), and that the headlights were not adjusted in anyway in between tests. This was a simple plug and play comparison.
