Why are LED headlights the best option in the rain?

LED bulbs for cars have many advantages, making them an ideal choice for safe driving in the rain:

  • Long lifespan: LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan than other technologies. This saves you from having to change your bulbs often, which is economically advantageous.
  • Instant maximum brightness: LED bulbs reach optimal brightness as soon as they are turned on, ensuring immediate driving comfort, especially in bad weather.
  • Energy efficiency: They consume less energy than other types of bulbs, while providing powerful and uniform lighting.

Yellow LED bulbs: the ideal solution for fog and rain

In heavy rain or thick fog, the best option is to choose yellow LED bulbs. They offer an excellent coefficient of penetration in humid air, allowing you to be better seen by other road users. There are also yellow LED bars and additional headlights, as well as additional fog lights, which are very useful for facing all conditions, even the most difficult ones.

➜ Our yellow LED bulbs are specifically designed to improve your visibility in the worst conditions.

Comparison with halogen bulbs

Unlike standard halogen bulbs that produce a white-yellow light (3,200 kelvins), LED bulbs provide very white lighting (6,000 kelvins). This type of color makes it easier to distinguish road details, which is very useful in bad weather.

LED bulbs stand out for their high power and lighting quality, offering light diffusion up to 3 to 4 times more effective than standard bulbs.

Being better seen when it rains: what does the law say?

According to the law, it is possible to switch your position lights, indicators, or license plate lighting to LED lighting. The main thing is to install the color required by the current legislation. According to current standards, you must choose red for brake lights. Orange is recommended for indicators and white or yellow for position lights.

AGM Vision offers LED bulbs that comply with current standards, ensuring optimal lighting and easy installation.

Which color to choose for your LED lighting in case of rain?

Yellow LED bulbs are recommended for difficult weather conditions such as rain or fog, as they penetrate humid air better. White LEDs, on the other hand, are perfect for clear visibility in dry weather or for everyday use.

Some LED models also offer multicolor options (controllable via remote control) for a personalized style, highly appreciated by tuning enthusiasts.

Interior lighting in case of poor visibility

Looking for a tool in the trunk of a car in the rain or low light can quickly become a hassle. Fortunately, interior LED bulbs greatly improve visibility. In our AGM Vision store, you will find interior LED bulbs for the ceiling light, glove box, or trunk, often sold individually or in LED packs to ensure perfect compatibility.
