Car low beam and high beam – LED, halogen and xenon. Upgrade your vehicle lighting with bulbs that provide better visibility, longer life and whiter light. We have bulbs for all common sockets and most car models from the 1990s onwards. Not sure which socket your car has? Use our car mapping to find the right one.
High beam and low beam are two different types of vehicle lighting that serve different purposes. High beam provides a wide, elongated beam of light that illuminates the road from a long distance – intended for open roads without oncoming traffic. Low beam focuses the light downward and forward with a sharp upward cutoff that prevents dazzling oncoming drivers. Low beam is the lighting you drive with in most situations.
LED, halogen or xenon?
LED conversion are the most popular choice today. LED bulbs provide whiter, brighter light with lower power consumption and a lifespan of 30,000+ hours. Most cars with halogen sockets can be converted to LED without replacing the entire headlight. The result is a dramatic improvement in the light pattern.
Halogen are the standard technology in most cars. Halogen lights provide a warm, yellow light and are the cheapest option. They have a shorter lifespan – around 500-1000 hours. The price makes them a good choice if you want a quick replacement solution.
Xenon (HID) produces an intense, blue-white light with high brightness. Xenon lamps require a ballast to work. They are common as original equipment on cars from 2005-2018. If your car already has xenon, you need to change to xenon bulbs during service, not LED or halogen.
Find the right lamp
Which bulb you need depends on your car's headlights. The most common sockets are H7 (most common in European cars), H4 (combined high/low beam bulb), H1, H11, HB3/9005 and HB4/9006. You can use our car mapping or check your car's owner's manual.

Questions and answers
For a conversion to be legal for use on public roads, the entire headlamp needs to be E-approved for the light source used. We offer several fully approved LED lamps from Osram and Luxtar that are excellent choices for a legal and safe upgrade. For enthusiast vehicles or off-road driving there are quite a few more options.
Kelvin (K) measures the colour of light, not its intensity.
~3200K: Yellow, warm white light (standard halogen).
4300K: Neutral white light (standard xenon).
6000K: Cool white light with a slight blue tone. This is the most popular choice today as it mimics daylight and is perceived as very bright and modern.
Absolutely! H4 is a combined high and low beam lamp. Upgrading to LED is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to a car with an H4 system, as you get a huge performance boost on both the high and low beam.
A good high beam is about a combination of length and width. You want to see far ahead on the road to spot hazards in time, but also have a wide light that illuminates the roadsides and ditches where wildlife often lurks. Our premium lights are optimised for just that.
No, the law says you cannot combine dipped beam and fog lights. This is because the combination can create a dazzling light image for oncoming road users.
