Recently, Flashark's YouTube channel has been buzzing with questions from fans who are unsure about selecting the right LED car headlights for their vehicles. With various options available in different lumen ranges, it can be challenging to determine which one suits your needs best. This article will guide you through understanding LED car headlights in different lumen states, helping you make an informed decision.
Watch our YouTube video for more insights.
Difference Between Different Lumens
Lumens measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. In simpler terms, the higher the lumens, the brighter the light. Here's a breakdown of how different lumen levels can impact your driving experience:
- 6000-8000 Lumens: Ideal for city driving and areas with good street lighting. These provide a clear and comfortable level of brightness without being overpowering.
- 9000-12000 Lumens: Suitable for suburban and semi-rural areas. They offer a balance of brightness, improving visibility in low-light conditions while minimizing glare for other drivers.
- 13000-20000 Lumens: Best for rural and off-road driving where street lighting is minimal or non-existent. These high-lumen headlights provide maximum visibility, enhancing safety in dark and challenging terrains.
Understanding these differences can help you choose the right brightness level for your specific driving conditions. Learn more about our products
How to Choose? Factors to Consider
When selecting LED headlights, several factors should influence your decision:
- Driving Conditions: Consider where you mostly drive. Urban areas with good lighting might only require lower lumen headlights, whereas rural or off-road conditions benefit from higher lumen options.
- Compatibility: Ensure the LED headlights are compatible with your car's make and model. Check for the correct bulb size, such as h11 bulbs, and whether the headlights fit without modifications.
- Color Temperature: Measured in Kelvin (K), the color temperature affects visibility and comfort. A common choice is 6500K, which provides a bright, white light similar to daylight, enhancing clarity and reducing eye strain.
- Durability: Look for features such as IP67 rating, indicating the headlights are dustproof and waterproof, ensuring longevity and reliability under various weather conditions.
- Energy Efficiency: LED headlights are known for their low power consumption. Ensure your chosen headlights offer efficient performance without compromising on brightness.

How to Choose the Right Bulb Size?
- Check your user manual, and the part number on the original bulb or search for "car bulb query" online.
- Select your vehicle model in the optional items on the product details page to double-check whether it is suitable.
- See "Cautions". For example: "Note: Low beam (with halogen capsule headlight)" means that our bulbs are only suitable for your car as a low beam when it is equipped with halogen capsule headlights.

In 2013 I bought 6000 xenon lights for my Silverado. They were costly but beat halogens immensely.
Occasionally in the first few years when only Mercedes had them halogen drivers would flash their brights but rarely.
They lasted til 2024. Finally died. To my astonishment they were available for under $50.00 on line! I had paid $350.00 way back for German manufacturing. Now it appeared China owned the market place.
I installed the $50.00 set I had ordered. One light failed in weeks. Builb did. Bought another under $50.00 set. They failed in two months.
Finally I bought a pair manufactured in Germany and paid $160.00 but they haven’t failed.
I recently bought my son a lifted 2007 used 150.
It had original halogen lights so I suggested he upgrade to LED or xenon’s like Dad. He loved driving my truck at night and was not happy with his halogens.
I looked on Amazon and sent him an ad for bulbs that would work for his year and model
They included headlight and fog lamp set for under $50.00
He Installed them and asked my opinion. Immediately I was concerned. They were bright as stadium lights.
I assured him that a lifted truck positioning itself behind a regular size vehicle would have people really angry.
Turns out they were 20,000 lumens.
You should place more emphasis on compatibility and concern for others in measuring what’s offered online which I assume many will buy their lights. Tommorow I’m buying new ones that are suitable
Xenon’s we’re simple 6000 for low beam 8000 for high beam
What is appropriate for low beam for my son’s truck. Thanks! Enjoyed your article.
