How To Choose The LED Bulbs Toyota Corolla 2016

If the headlights on your Toyota Corolla are not bright enough, you may want to consider replacing them. This article can help you decide whether or not to change your car's light bulbs. Halogen headlamps come with Corollas, but they can become dimmer and change their beam pattern as time goes on.

Why LED is the latest offering in light bulb technology in the automotive sector？

LED bulbs are distinguished from HIDs and halogen lamps by their exceptional efficiency and uniformly bright light output. LEDs can produce as much light as other technologies but use less electricity from the car's alternator or battery. Fewer heatsinks are needed for better fits and lower junction temperatures, leading to more excellent dependability and reduced power consumption, which also benefit these factors.

Which LED lights should I buy? Once you decide to take the LED bulb path, you need to decide which specific LED bulb to buy because many are on the market, with prices ranging from $10 to $100.

Right now, it may be hard to avoid overpaying for bad LEDs or falling for deals that seem too good to be true. Be careful to not get tricked into buying low-quality products or paying too much. What then ought should you do? Here are five criteria to help you choose high-quality LED bulbs for your car that improve night visibility and have a long lifespan.

1. Correct Size：

Therefore, the first thing you need to confirm is that the light bulbs you will buy fit into your car's headlight housing. For each type of headlight housing, there are standard headlight bulb sizes. The right size for the high beam bulb on a 2016 Toyota Corolla headlight is 9005, and the right size for the low beam bulb is 9006.

In addition to the typical LED sizes, you also need to consider the fan assembly size and heatsink attached to the lightbulb. The LED never burns out because of the heat sink and tiny fan on its rear, which keep the light source within a safe temperature range. You must ensure sufficient space for the heatsink and fan assembly to fit correctly under the lightbulb.

2. Correct Color：

The color temperature is the next item you should shortlist after removing incorrect sizes. Kelvins (K) are used to represent color temperature. Typically, the color temperature ranges from 3500K to 10,000 K. The light color changes from a yellow shade to clear white and finally back to a blue shade as the color temperature rises.

A white color temperature in the 5500–6500K range is ideal for typical nighttime driving. For most people, 6500K is the preferred color temperature because it is also where LEDs achieve their maximum efficiency. On the other hand, a lower color temperature, such as 3500- 4000, will be more beneficial in improving visibility if there is a lot of mist or fog in the area.

3. Brightness Intensity：

Lumens are a unit of measurement for LED brightness. It refers to the total amount of light the bulb will produce and is typically stated on the box of light bulbs.

When searching for high-quality LED headlamps, you can also look for the fitted LEDs' efficacy. It is a measurement of the LED's brightness relative to the power it uses.

The efficiency of a high-quality LED bulb can reach 120 lumens per watt. By maintaining the wattage close to or below that of the original equipment halogens, you can aim for the highest lumens possible.

Most LEDs have power outputs between 80 and 100 watts. OEM halogen lights typically have a brightness of between 2 and 4000 lumens. Search for LED bulbs that are at least 2000–3000 lumen brighter than the original ones for a discernible improvement. Look for images or videos of previous customer product reviews to prevent duping.

4. Light Beam Pattern：

One of the most important distinctions to consider when purchasing high-quality LED light bulbs is the light beam pattern. The pattern that a light bulb creates on a wall ahead of it when it is mounted on an automobile headlight is known as the light beam pattern.

Only the road ahead should have an even distribution of the light pattern; it shouldn't be scattered elsewhere. To ensure it doesn't blind approaching traffic or reflect in the rearview mirrors of vehicles ahead, it should also have a sharp cutoff.

The better the light pattern, the closer the makers retain the proportions of the LED to the standard halogen lamps. However, this alone cannot determine the beam pattern's quality.

A corporation needs to conduct adequate testing and development to produce the ideal light beam pattern. Customer reviews in images or videos make assessing the light beam pattern simple.

5. Reliability：

It would help to research the manufacturer's LED lights' dependability before buying. The manufacturer's warranty period and customer reviews are the primary criteria that can be used to evaluate it. A one-year warranty should be your minimum expectation when buying LED light bulbs.
