FAHREN 9006/HB4 Fog Bulbs, Super Bright 6500K

I must have read reviews on 20+ different LED headlights before deciding the purchase these. Based on my driving experience, many of the aftermarket LEDs blind oncoming drivers (had that done several times to me on suburban roads), and other reports of poor quality / failures were my primary concern. Bought these based on reviews, installed them in early June, and have been very pleased over these past two months.

As background, we inherited a 2008 Honda Civic with <20k miles about 2 years ago, which is perfect for my new teenage drivers. The one thing I really disliked about the car is the headlights — they are yellow, and the car sits low to the ground, so night driving was difficult, even for me. I am also a hobbyist detailer, so it's not the plastic lenses (they were in good shape, but I polished them to near-new condition anyway).

As background, my wife and I have been driving higher end cars with HIDs for over 20 years, and I now have a car with OEM LEDs. Whenever we rent cars with halogens, I’m always a little disappointed — and the Civic was worse than any rental that I had.

These weren’t an easy install, but that was due to the Civic — you need to go in from the wheel well to change the headlights (really Honda!). Had the lights been accessible from the hood, I probably could have been done in 10 minutes. You do need to find a place for the little electronics box that is attached to the bulb, but they give you what most setups need to tie it to something (wire ties and soft pads to prevent rattles). Depending on your vehicle fitment, you may need to use a little of your own ingenuity (I used longer wire ties that I had in the house, but again, I had a unique install).

The brightness and beam throw on these is great — first thing I did was pull the car out to a level street with a parked car, and pulled up behind that car from about 100ft away to see if the beam would shine into that cars rear window too much. They didn’t. I then did the same thing from the opposite direction, driving towards the front of the car, and driving past it to simulate oncoming traffic. Again, I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t blind an oncoming driver. Again, no issue.

Once both tests were passed, I then went for a ride in my dark residential neighborhood (no street lights) — WOW, what a difference. Night driving went from dismal to very good. I’ve driven this car once a week or so at night, and have only been flashed once by an oncoming driver — that does happen sometimes when driving up a hill in my car with factory LEDs (when the oncoming driver is driving downhill) as unlike HIDs, LEDs don’t self-level so people occasionally think you are driving with your high beams when driving uphill.

Color temperature is pretty close to my factory LEDs (white, not blue, and I’m not sure I can explain the difference without seeing them side-by-side), and while the beam pattern isn’t quite as good as an OEM LED array, it’s FAR better than the halogens. Keep in mind, these retrofit kits can’t possibly match a factory setup that has 3-5 LED elements in a horizontal array that were engineered specifically for that vehicle’s front end.

I will update this review should these cause any issues, as it’s only been 2 months…

Sept 2023 update — these continue to work flawlessly for the 2-1/2 years we had then installed. We’ve just sold this vehicle, but we were very happy with the quality and performance of this product.

I don’t write reviews often especially being an Amazonian lifer. I felt compelled however to add my opinion regarding Fahren products. I ordered the 9006 HB4 LED kit for my 2005 Toyota Sienna. I never was happy about the OEM halogen lights or replacement halogens because they never seemed bright enough, even under street lit conditions. I was constantly using high beams whenever no oncoming traffic was present.
This changed once I installed the Fahren 9006 HB4’s. Luminosity and beam spread improved 200%. It literally is a difference between night and day, and the natural light spectrum just lights up the night time field of view immensely.
Things I love about this kit is
– Ease of installation: The unit was basically plug and play. It fit snugly in the current housing, easy to mount Canbus and very easy to align LEDs in the optimal vertical position using the adjustment ring.

-Build Qaulity: The build quality for these products are of Premium quality, even the packaging is most impressive.

-Customer Support/Warranty: I registered my 9006 HB4 kit and in turn received an additional 1 year warranty extension, bringing the grand total of warranty coverage to 2 years! You cannot beat that on any lighting product.

-Whisper quiet operation: The lighting kit while operating is whisper quiet. The fans make zero noise.

-Service and Price: Customer service and pricing is by far the best. The unit arrived on-time and in perfect condition. I had installed these in under 15 minutes. And you cannot beat the price for such a quality product. Similar products from auto parts retailers are easily twice as much, with prices in the 75-100 USD range.

-The Unknowns: The only thing I can not attest to as of yet is longevity. I just recently installed these, but I feel very confident they will last a very long time, especially with a two year warranty. Regardless of this unknown, I’m giving Fahren LED kits a 5 star rating.

I will be outfitting all my vehicles with Fahren led LED kits, and will recommend to all that you cannot go wrong with these products. I’ve researched a lot of products before choosing this one, and I’m glad I did!!!

These are excellent globes! Very bright and powerful! I put them into my Toyota Prado and they are fantastic on low & high beams. Unfortunately, changing from halogen to LED caused an issue. My LED light bar and Driving lights stopped working. My auto electrician said he could do rewiring to solve the issue, but the easiest option is to swap back to halogen globes. So I ordered very bright white halogen globes and now everything works again. These LED globes are brighter than the new halogen globes… but now I have everything working again! The new white halogen globes are much better than the old halogen globes too. Still okay with the purchase. If you are not running extra lights, then they will suit you very nicely. Also if you’re driving lights are wired in a different way to mine, you might be fine. I’ll still give 5 stars. As they are excellent globes!

Really improved like magic my car fog light to so brighter. Very good
