Been following the following thread over at ramforumz in regards to some Philips 9012 LED bulbs fitting the projector style headlights:
http://www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=203617&highlight=LED+headlights
Was never really happy with the Rebel having the white LED fog lights and the yellowish halogen bulbs in the projectors. I ended up ordering a set of these from the Auto LED Corp(their email is: [email protected]) and took about 6 business days to receive them as they are located in Canada. You end up getting a set of the 9012 Philips LED bulbs along with a set of decoders to help eliminate any error codes(light out, etc.). Install was pretty easy, just have to stuff everything inside the projector light housing. Here are some pictures below for comparison. Happy with them thus far as they match the LED fog lighting well and provide a little more light output than the halogen bulbs.

In your opinion, is the distance from the new LED bulbs, less, the same or better?


I want the whiter light but also need further distance than stock and do not want to go HIDs.

I would say the distance is about the same with the LED bulbs. I did end up adjusting the headlights up a bit, which helped a little as well. I mounted a 20" LED lightbar in the lower bumper valance for getting more distance on visibility.

I think you may feel like you are seeing further because you will have a cleaner light. Kind of like using a daylight bulb instead of a soft white.

The reason you don't really see further is that the headlights have to be aimed down at a certain angle to avoid blinding other drivers. It is better light, but you still have to aim it down.

This is a great thread on lighting. I replaced my 2007 Ram sport yesterday with a new 2016 Rebel and it is a very nice upgrade. I would like to know what I need to do to remove the headlights to replace the bulbs with led's? I installed led's in my Goldwing motorcycle, and it made such a big difference in the light output, I would like to try them in my rebel. Does anyone have a suggestion on which brand or model to get?
Thanks

Any updates for the 2017 model year? I would also like to see a link to the bulbs on amazon that have been used with success. I would like to also do the brightest reverse LED bulbs possible....


This is one of the reverse bulbs that I think may fit...?
