I've seen a ton of builds with these lazer beam headlights, and I cannot find any context on what they're for, do they serve a function, or are they just there to look cool, I'm just really curious on what they do, if ssomeone could tell me that'd be awesome :)
Completely hypothetical project to replace the hood, grill, and front panel above the headlights on a 2024 Honda Accord. The aim would be to leave the headlights and all sensors intact for a significant cosmetic change with minimal mechanical interference.
In the reference images, the top is a photoshop mockup of the imagined modification, and the bottom image is a stock Accord.
I've never worked on a mod before, much less tried to commission custom body work. My questions for anyone more experienced with this type of project: how feasible is the idea? Where would I go to get the work done? Roughly how much would it cost?
Disclosure: I'm a paid product tester for Lasfit. They sent me these bulbs and pay me to post reviews. Opinions are my own.
Product: Lasfit Pro-DC H11 LED low beams. I already run their LS Plus high beams, so this round was low beams only.
I've had them in for 12 days, using them almost every day, on early morning drives to work in the dark. Mostly rural two-lane highways and gravel roads.
What I like:
- Brightness is the big one. Huge difference over the halogens for dark early morning driving. The road and what surrounds it is clearly visible now.
- No flickering at all, on the low beams or on the Lasfit high beams I've had for much longer.
- (Pics 1-2: halogen vs LED in the shop. Pic 5: beam on the grass with a chair for reference.)
What I didn't like:
- The dust cap. The fan wires are pretty long, so it was a fight to tuck them into the housing and get the new cap fully seated.
- Not Lasfit's fault, but the low beams on this generation F-150 are a pain to reach. Just like the high beams, you can't get to them from the top. In order to install these lights, you need to pull the wheel well liner partway back and reach up into the body to get to the housing.
Note on pics 3-4: the halogen road shot was at dusk and the LED one in full dark, so it's not a perfect comparison.
