With daylight saving coming to an end I need to upgrade the lighting soon.
It seems like a toss up between Superior Vision or Stedi unless others out there can recommend other brands.
I'm interested to hear everyone's opinions and suggestions.
Vehicle is a 2015 XLT with projector low beam and low beam is no better than the old 6 volt headlights I used to have on trailbikes back in the '80s.

I originally had the LLA copperheads which were an improvement over the standard halogen globes.
One died about about 2yrs later so I thought I’d give the Stedi ones a go as I was impressed with the other products I had purchased.
The Stedi are so much brighter and easier fit due to not having the copper cooling strands. Instead they have a cooling fan.
Not sure about longevity as it’s only been about 9 months since I put them in but performance wise they are excellent!

Agree, like chalk and cheese

You obviously never used to drive a 1956 VW;)

My Stedi have the copper fins for cooling.Stormtrooper wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 8:29 amThe Stedi are so much brighter and easier fit due to not having the copper cooling strands. Instead they have a cooling fan.
When I got mine Stedi told me they were discontinuing the fan cooled type due to over heating.
I know several who have upgraded to Stedi over the last 8 months and they are all finned cooling.
Maybe they have gone back to fan recently.

Thanks for all the replies. Have decided to go with the Stedi but it appears that they are out of stock of the low beam LED's. Have been away all weekend and will ring them when I get back to work tomorrow.

Yes, you have H15's from memory. We do not have the twin high beam design down here.
