Great Video, once again! So nice to have you on MDXers these days. I just changed out my highs to DDM Tuning Sabre 50w LEDs ($95 on sale for $75). They are almost too bright (and, as you pointed out, I have reservations regarding their longevity – at least DDM has a 2 year warranty). After driving with them for a bit, it has really highlighted how dim our lows are.

I’m a fan of HIDs for lows. I think they have a more robust “throw” and the right kind of bulb in the right lamp is critical in a low beam due to its use with oncoming drivers. Also, LEDs don’t get as hot & can have a problem melting off ice & snow in particularly harsh winter conditions. I can live with this in my highs but not in my lows.

Anyway, I haven’t tackled HID replacement yet but your video has inspired me with its apparent ease. I also appreciate your commentary on bulb selection. I believe the stock color warms to 5000K. I’ve thought mine looked more yellow and, after your comparison, I wonder if that hasn’t occurred due to aging. (I’m comparing against my Diode Dynamics 6000K marker lights & now 6000K DDM Sabres). 5500K sounds fine & your cost pragmatism is reasonable. Thanks for the discussion. I am a little curious if anyone has compared them head to head with Morimoto XB35s which have a great reputation as well (@skirmch).

You know you’re going to get grief about that key ; )

BTW, love your index & tool & product links.

Hello good evening how are you, need your help advice. I got an error reading on my nav player, I need to remove it to have it shipped out for repair, how do I remove it from under the driver's seat?

Interesting video, My 08 mdx has a daytime running light out, i wonder if that would require removing the bumper as well

Vincent Johnson says:

thanks, good video…Probably should check the light bulbs before you reinstall all the battery brackets though
