Best LED Headlights Brands for Trucks Reviews

#1- AuxBeam

Started back in 2008, AuxBeam isn’t the oldest brand around but have definitely made an impact on the market by offering all kinds of affordable outdoor auto parts.

Despite being so cost-friendly, they have a large array of different items and unique styles to suit just about anyone.

The Fontana, California company may be easy on the wallet, but their LED headlights are anything but cheap in quality. In fact, they hold themselves to some of the highest standards, grades of safety, and material quality out there.

If that weren’t enough, their incredible customer service is there to always exceed expectations, while the brand’s engineers work to consistently innovate and please.

Product Groups

Let’s take a look at each of the different product groups within the brand.

With a Claret-Red body color, these lights are sure to get your attention right when you open up the packaging. The 3-bulb design comes with a durable yet lightweight body. On top of that, you get an aviation-grade aluminum to conduct heat a full 360 degrees.

The specially designed beam pattern is made to light up more of your path, more evenly than before. Beam patterns are wonderful, featuring a defined cutoff on the low beam.

We found peripheral views to improve greatly. On top of that, you get a Xenon white light which reflects road signs and paint more effectively so you can feel more confident on the road.

Thanks to the 270-degree low beam angle and cut-off line, you never have to worry about blinding other drivers.

Rated IP65 water and dust seal, you can use them confidently knowing that they won’t become damaged, even by extreme weather conditions. Expect to have these around for at least 30,000 hours of use!

If you want headlight bulbs perfect for any environment, then check out the F16 series. These work in the rain, dry heat, dusty/sandy environment, and snowstorms.

The high-power SMD LED chips throw very bright light on the road evenly to help manage dark spots or foggy conditions. In fact, they’re incredibly similar to our last model.

The main difference here lies in the body material, which is made of aircraft-grade luxury gold aluminum.

To finish things off, it comes with low voltage protection and smart constant current IC to control temperatures and keep the car safe.

Next up, we have the P10 Ultra-Thin Lights which come in a nice, neutral Space Gray. A perfect example of “you get what you pay for”, they’ll instantly upgrade your vehicle.

The intense brightness the pair emits will immediately make it easier and safer for you to drive at night, in the rain, fog, and just about any other type of weather.

With a waterproof rating of IP67, they’re also able to operate anywhere from -40 to 105C which is very impressive.

However, as the focus point is nice and you get a 360-degree adjustable beam pattern, you don’t have to worry about blinding people or have them think you’re flashing them. Adjust the light base to your liking.

A mini high-speed fan along with a copper base conduct heat and move it away from the lights quickly and efficiently.

Safety and quality are something AuxBeam does well, and the P10 is exemplary of that. We found installation to be one of the easiest processes as well, so if you’re new to this you can feel confident putting them in.

One of the most popular sets of headlights is the S2 Series COB. If you didn’t already know, COB (Chips on Board) is a new type of LED tech where the bare LED chip comes into direct contact with silicon carbide, sapphire, or some other substrate.

Why is this important?

Because it allows for a significantly greater packing density, creating not only much more intense light, but a more even light dispersion. If that weren’t enough, it is also much more eco-friendly and consumes less energy than older LED forms of technology.

To ensure that other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and so on aren’t blinded by your oncoming headlights, you have a 270-degree/360-degree beam and no-blind zone.

Setting it to the hi-lo beam means that all 3 sides of the light shine, while the single beam configuration shines 2. With so much brightness, you may worry about things overheating.

Due to their unique heat sink design, you no longer have to as the heat moves away and out of the light quickly.

On top of that, you have an IP65 waterproof rating to work in any kind of weather conditions.

Price Range

We love AuxBeam because it not only produces cutting-edge products, but because it does so at an affordable price. Now, just about everyone has access to bright, even, clear headlights.

#2- Fahren

Located in Philadelphia, PA, they’re one of the most popular headlight brands in both North America and Europe. Going off of their humble beginnings, it’s impressive to see such premium quality products come from the worldwide brand.

They place their focus on creating innovative products and ensuring that everything they put out is top-notch.

Currently they are only selling one product group. Within that group are very similar models with a couple distinct differences.

To start things off, let’s take a look at the 9007/HB5 which is incredibly easy to install and is made for long-lasting, heavy-duty use.

Made to perform for up to a whopping 5,000 hours, you can expect a durable body made out of lightweight aviation aluminum.

The entire design is made with precision and thoughtful engineering. This is evident in the hollow-carved heat sink layout which gets rid of excess heat promptly and efficiently.

On top of that, you have a 12,000 RPM turbo cool fan to aid in the matter.

Premium 60W LED chips and a 6500K cool white color offer an ultra-focused beam pattern to create a wider and farther lighting range.

In fact, we found them to light up about 2-3 times brighter than your average halogen bulbs. The 360-degree adjustable locker ring will let your vehicle always have the ideal light beam pattern for its make and model.

As it’s compatible with 98% of vehicles, you likely won’t ever have to worry about in being incompatible with your computer system, either!

To save you some time, this model is almost identical to the previous one, except for the distinct feature of it being ultra-slim at 1.2mm.

This provides a further focused light beam while still doing well at replicating the original halogen lamp. No more having to deal with uneven focusing and sub-part lighting coverage.

Price Points

Fahren is very comparable in price to AuxBeam, though occasionally does surpass it in price.

#3- Alla Lighting

We’re bringing you yet again another American brand, but this time it’s Alla Lighting from Chino, California. Seeing as there are countless headlight brands from CA, you really have to know what you’re doing to stand out.

The brand hasn’t been around for very long, though they’ve made great strides due to their use of some of the newest LED tech around.

These are made to upgrade your old bulbs to offer a brighter, further, and more even light throw. Installation is very easy, taking less than 10 minutes for most vehicles.

The 45W bulbs are relatively eco-friendly due to the lower power consumption, while still providing a clear view in all types of weather.

HB3 9005

Putting out 6000 lumens per bulb, these are incredibly powerful LED headlights, with 45W for each. With an included installation guide video, the installation process is a breeze, even for those who don’t consider themselves to be particularly DIY-friendly.

You have a wide beam angle, long beam distance, and 300% improved light performance than what HID offers. In fact, this set offers more than 600% brighter lights than what you’ll get out of stock halogen bulbs.

No matter what vehicle you drive, you can be near certain that these headlights will work with it thanks to the built-in smart IC driver.

Your lights will always keep as cool as the Xenon Cool White color they feature, with a cutting-edge cooling system complete with a dual-ball fan and an aviation aluminum heat sink design.

This will extend the life of the lights and keep performance at its best. Expect to get around 30,000 hours of use out of them.

Just like the others we’ve covered they’re also rated at IP65 waterproof.

The 9006 HB4 isn’t all too different from the others we’ve taken a look at so far. Using a 1:1 halogen design, you can almost always plug-and-play on all types of vehicles.

There are some European models which may require resistors or decoders to avoid flickering.

Premium chips along with a heavy-duty turbo fan move heat away quickly, and the 9006 headlight bulbs create an excellent beam pattern without blinding oncoming drivers. To adjust the direction, simply twist the 360-degree collar ring.

These contain CREE LED chips, which are almost the same as the previously mentioned COBs. The only significant difference between them is their physical appearance.

There’s no more having to deal with dark spots or uneven beams anymore! The 9007 HBS LEDs will provide you with up to 30,000 hours of reliable, clear operation. With these, we found installation pretty simply, though you do need to remember to take out the bulb retainer beforehand. They also include an installation video if you have any doubts.

The 6063 aviation aluminum heat sink design is tough and that, along with the ultra-slim copper substrate board, overheating will never be a problem.

The rainproof driver, housing, and fan is perfect if you live in an area that gets a lot of rain and/or snow. In fact, if you wanted, you could even use these underwater.

Price Points

Alla Lighting is a premium brand, but you should also expect to pay higher prices than the other brands we’ve covered so far. They have a wide array of products however, so there really is something for everyone.

#4- AUXITO

Founded just in 2016, AUXITO is one of the youngest LED headlight manufacturers around with this level of success.

The Chinese-based company does create extremely affordable products, though they’re at a slightly lower level of quality than the others on our guide.

They also have warehouses out of the US, Australia, and the UK. Despite the lower price, we have found them to be well-designed and functional so you never have to even think about them not working at a top level.

Y13 Series

If you’re on the hunt for headlights for trucks that will last you a super long time, then check these out. They last up to almost double the length of time that products of similar pricing do, offering the best bang for your buck.

Due to the upgraded can-bus design, you don’t have to worry about it being incompatible with your vehicle. They should fit into the housing without any modification needed, or any possible damage on the housing or covers.

The 40W (each) bulbs are also quite eco-friendly as you’ll be using up less energy while benefiting from great levels of brightness.

To keep the pair lasting up to 50,000 hours, they feature whole aviation aluminum bodies, smart temperature control IC, a robust cooling fan, and a thin copper board which effectively conducts heat.

M3 Series

In our opinion, the best LED headlights for trucks also need to be environmentally friendly. The H11/H8/H9s aren’t perfect, though they do hit the mark in this regard (and others).

With the need of just 20W of power, it’s surprising just how bright and efficient these are.

The non-polarity headlights come with no external driver which means you can simply plug them in and you’re ready to go. However, this is with 95% of vehicles, so you may run into some issues on certain European models.

Every bulb comes with high-quality CSP LED chips, producing a total of 9000 lumens for significantly bright output to see wider and farther than with your stocks.

The solid light pattern is a full 360 degrees, though they won’t blind other cars or motorists.

Just like with almost every other on our guide so far, it features an aviation aluminum body to quick heat dissipation to avoid overheating.

However, unlike the others, this is a fanless design which generally means less maintenance and no noise.

M2 Series

These models are almost identical to various others we’ve just taken a look at. You have the IP67 waterproofing, 360-degree adjustable beam, independent intelligent driver, and the whole aviation aluminum body.

However, you also get a 12,000 RPM cooling fan to move heat away from the headlights. We did hear some noise due to this, which some people find kind of annoying.

Others could care less, so it’s all down to your personal preferences. The 50,000-hour life span is quite impressive, though so if you want the best LED headlight bulbs on a budget, these are a nice choice.

The HIR2 is another excellent budget option, though they are also a bit less powerful than the last few from AUXITO. For example, instead of the standard 12,000 RPM cooling fan, this one comes with an 11,500 RPM alternative.

Additionally, you’ll get a 35,000-hour life span instead of the full 50,000 hours that many others provide. However, where they do excel is in their CSP chipsets which offer 10,000 lumens – quite powerful, all things considered.

Price Points

These are some of the least expensive LED headlights you’re going to be able to find. They do vary in price and quality but overall they have some quality products.

#5- SeaLight

Just like with our last manufacturer, SeaLight was also born in 2016. The young company sprouted from the owner who was and is a car mod enthusiast.

He found it difficult to find headlights that were easy to install, affordable, and performed well. SeaLight works to accomplish all 3 of those goals, and their products are priced similarly to that of AUXITO.

However, they take things a step further, offering products which are sustainable and eco-friendly. On top of that, their customer service is out of this world and some of the best around.

Located in Southern California, they started out with quite a bit of competition but set themselves apart due to all of these factors.

Drawing comparisons to the previous products, the X2 series comes with high-luminous efficacy CSP chips which create max light output without the risk of blinding other drivers.

The reduced amount of glare creates a safer experience for everyone, while illuminating your path better in distance and from side-to-side.

Ultra-thin 0.04” copper board helps to reduce this glare. The aluminum case, along with this, offers up to a 50,000-hour life span which makes them some of the most durable on the market today.

What we really love about these automotive LED lights is how reliable they are.

You can realistically get 20 years out of these, with the cooling system and multi-voltage protection that works in all kinds of temperatures and weather conditions.

600% illumination brightness is practically unheard of at this price point, so we highly recommend checking these out.

Price Points

We consider their price point to be on the same level as AUXITO – very affordable though it does vary a bit.

---

#6- BEAMTECH

Getting closer to the end of our list, we have BEAMTECH. Having been around for about 10 years, it’s slightly older than the previous few companies but have created quite the reputation.

The Chinese manufacturer creates top-quality yet affordable components, particularly in the LED headlight market.

As some of the most affordable LED lights for trucks out there, the J1 series has been quite successful as of late. The fanless design is nearly noiseless and also offers a smoother radio signal.

The plug-and-use design means that installation is very easy, even if it’s your first time installing lights. As they’re CanBUS-ready you likely won’t have to worry about computer systems running into issues.

Despite there not being a fan in these lights, head dissipation is quite good. The 30,000-hour life span is less than many others on our guide, though when you consider the significantly lower price point, you’ll realize it’s still a great offer.

Featuring a cast versatile slim body, this is one of the easiest to install. The high-quality aviation aluminum housing is very durable yet lightweight.

The EMC intelligent temperature control system is proven to dissipate heat at a rate of 5x faster than other materials, as well.

Pair that with the Nano layer, double-sided laminated copper substrate and you have yourself light bulbs which will always operate at the proper working temperature.

Price Points

BeamTech is one of the most affordable brands out there, and as such you can expect to get high quality with small prices.

#7- GlowTeck

New York-based GlowTeck is one of the most exciting LED headlight manufacturers of the last few years. You can tell that down to the last detail, they keep their customers and excellent performance in mind.

Due to this, they’re actually known as the leading brands of LED light conversion kits for trucks and cars. Their innovative technology plays a huge role in this, paired with good looks.

H11

The H8/H9 isn’t all that different fundamentally, however, there are some beautiful extras we’re sure you’re going to love.

For example, it does have that aviation aluminum most other have but on top of that you get an AirFLUX dual cooling system, copper thermal heatsink, and a dual Japanese ball bearing cooling fan.

You aren’t going to find that on any other brand on our guide.

With a cutting-edge CREE XHP50 LED chip, you get max light output while keeping power expenditure low. Each pair produces 12,000 Lumens, with a nicely distributed beam and an anti-glare body.

The body along with the adjustable beam pattern makes it easy on other drivers, too.

While it may not be the most important feature, we also loved the turquoise-and-black finish on these gorgeous aftermarket truck lights.

You’ll find this pair to be almost identical to the last models we covered. They’re very easy to install, taking around 20 minutes in total, depending on the vehicle.

You can use these with reflector or projector housing if you’d like, as it’s so easy to do so.

The waterproof headlights work in all types of weather, but if you live in places with heavy annual rainfall, we can’t recommend these enough. The quality is simply unbeatable, complete with CREE LED chips and a pristine turquoise design.

Price Points

You can expect GlowTeck to be slightly more expensive than the others on our guide, though the quality is also unmatched.

LED Headlights Buying Guide

Now that you’ve had the chance to look through the best LED headlights brands, do you have an idea of which model you’re going to be installing on your vehicle?

If not, then there’s no need to worry. We know there are a ton of great options on here! That’s why we’ve gone ahead and written up the user-friendly buying guide below.

This guide will ensure that by the time you’re finished reading, there will be no doubt which are the lights for you.

LED Headlight Bulb Lifespan

First off, you want to think about how long you’ll realistically use these lights for. Most LED lights are going to last you anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 hours.

In contrast, halogen lights will go for around a mere 6,000! So, how long exactly does that translate to in terms of years? Well, 30,000 is going to last you for 3 years approximately, while 50,000 will offer about 6 years of performance.

LED Headlight Bulb Color

This is an aspect that many people surprisingly skim over. We really recommend against opting for a warm, yellowy light as they simply aren’t as effective at lighting up roads and pathways.

We should mention, though, that bulbs rated at a temperature greater than 5,000 Kelvin mark are going to be the safest for you.

These offer a light in Daylight white which provides the furthest and widest illumination that is “clear as day”.

LED Lumens

If you didn’t already know, lumens measure the intensity of a light. 6,000 lumens would be considered very low, while those of 8,000 are quite powerful.

At this point, you should get illumination in a straight line of up to 700 meters. You’ll also find lights that can get up to a whopping 10,000 which will make a dark road look like it’s daytime!

LED Headlight Cooling Methods

Headlights for trucks all vary a bit in how they keep themselves cool. Let’s talk about the two main methods: heatsinks and fans.

Heatsinks: You may also see these referred to as “fanless lights”. These obviously do not use fans, and instead take advantage of a cooling mechanism that dissipates heat effectively without the need for extra devices’ help.

These actually have a longer lifespan and are known to require much less serious maintenance. They offer supreme lighting, are more energy efficient as they don’t have to run a fan, and are quite inexpensive, comparatively speaking.

Just remember that you will have to keep an eye on them as they use wind instead of fans and aren’t quite as fast.

Fans: These suck up more energy to run the fans, though eliminate heat quickly. The downside is that they are dust magnets and are more expensive than heatsink models.

Price

Finally, you’ll want to consider how much you are okay with spending on a pair of brand-new LED headlights for trucks. The good news is that with the models and brands we have listed, you can still get a high-quality product for a surprisingly affordable price.
