Difference between LED bulbs.

[Kolsch]

Hello forum,

I'm looking into getting LED's for low/high beams. This is all I know that is different between the two.

Electrical connection LED build kit (EC01052) $107.95

SoCal LED headlight kit (SCMG18LED) $145.00

Same quality?
Electrical connection- don't have to modify rubber boot.
The price difference.
SoCal customer service- You can't call them, takes a week to return emails.

Please chim in.

I have the Electrical Connection LEDs in my low beams. I am very satisfied with them. Searching around forums, I've found most folks are happy with EC for low beams, but there are many who don't like them for their high beams. I believe the SoCal has different bulbs for the high beams. So, perhaps they would be a better choice for that application.

I bought the SOCAL high/Low beam kit, installed both at the same time. Well worth the money, and if you don't drop the adapter ring into your fairing, not a bad install. Use a barbecue skewer to guid the ring into the headlight housing and keep it there till you swing the retaining spring into place.

VERY White, VERY Bright. I dig 'em.

Well it doesn't make much sense as the only difference in the low and high on the B is the light reflector and lense setup. Both are H7's I believe so the same bulb in low and high supplies the same light energy. It's now up to the lense to disperse that light.

Me as well. Love Them!

No need to modify the boot with the Socal low beams imo, a little dawn and a drop of water and they squeezed right in.

The SoCal Hi Beam unit is rated higher lumens than the lo beam unit. I think it's 4800 vs 2400.

LO BEAM: 2400LM-5500K (BRIGHT WHITE) PER BULB
POWER: 12v@1.5AMPS PER BULB

HIGH BEAM: 4800LM-5000K
Power: 12v@2.3AMPS PER BULB

As you can see, the low beams are actually "whiter" by a wee bit (500K) as well.
