10th Gen Civic Headlight Upgrades: Morimoto, GTR Lighting, and S-V.4
Do you find your 10th-generation Honda Civics halogen headlights bland and unimpressive? If that is the case, you are in the proper place. This blog post will show you how to modify your 10th-generation Honda Civics LED headlights. As we demonstrate their installation, we'll also contrast their beam patterns and brightness. Prepare to revolutionize your nighttime driving experience by fastening your seatbelt!
The Search for the Brightest LED Bulbs
Our goal at Ledlightjeep is to identify the finest aftermarket lighting options for particular automobiles. Following more than 300 LED bulb tests, we have selected the top four options for your 10th-generation Civic:
- The Ultra 2 GTR Lighting
- Both Stroke 3.0 Morimoto
- The SV.4 Bulb
- In contrast, a multi-sided LED Amazon bulb without a name
We will explain why it is crucial to select a high-quality LED bulb made especially for your Civic and show you how it can improve your driving experience.
Know Your Bulb Types
Let's quickly review the sorts of bulbs you'll need for your Civic before getting into the comparisons:
Low Beam: H11
High Beam: 9005
Let's begin by comparing each LED bulb's brightness and beam patterns to those of the stock halogen lamps.
Low Beam Comparisons
Initially, we set the standard using the factory halogen low beam lamps, which had a pitiful maximum lux of 93.
Here's how the top three LED bulbs fared in comparison:
Morimoto Two Stroke 3.0: 510 lux (448% increase)
SV.4 Bulb: 665 lux (615% increase)
GTR Lighting Ultra 2: 658 lux (608% increase)
Either of these LED bulbs will significantly enhance the low-beam performance of your Civic, as you can see.
High Beam Comparisons
For the most significant effects, we advise using the same LED bulb for both the high and low beams. The results of our top candidates' high beam test are as follows:
Morimoto Two Stroke 3.0: 780 lux (153% increase)
SV.4 Bulb: 2240 lux (627% increase)
GTR Lighting Ultra 2: 2473 lux (703% increase)
Your high beams will be much brighter with these improvements without blinding drivers.
Installing Your New LED Bulbs
One of the best features of switching to LED lamps is the simplicity of installation. Reach inside, rotate the lightbulb counterclockwise, remove it, and swap it out for the LED bulb of your choice. The complete headlight assembly doesn't have to be taken out!
In order for the LED chips to effectively bounce off the reflectors in the high beam headlamp, keep in mind that they should be oriented outward when you install your new bulbs.
Complete the Upgrade: Tail Lights, Brake Lights, and Turn Signals
At your headlights, why stop? For a complete lighting makeover, replace your turn signals, brake lights, tail lights, and reverse lights with LEDs. We have carefully examined LED choices at Ledlightjeep that won't flicker or produce excessive flash.
