I have a set of LED bulbs H11 that I bought on AMazon along with the adapter changing H11b to H11 plugs

I have an issue. These LEDs are scattering light all over vs in the halogen beam pattern.
I must have bought the wrong type of LED.

I need help finding a pair of LED under $85. Looking for 6000k or 6500k low beams.
Do I need projector style for this headlamp or Cree, or what?

Thank you much

Key to good pattern is replicating the halogen filament placement .

It would help us if you shared which bulbs you bought.

One of the bulbs is burnt out so I am looking for advise on a new set. Prefer without igniters

Set one
Set Two
Set three
finally Set four

Which one would be the best? I really do not like the halogens but if they give me the best pattern.
IMHO, the stock H11b bulbs are too dim for me.

First, you can see decent reviews here:

BulbFacts | Aftermarket LED Kits Chart - Comparing to Halogen in Projector Headlights & Foglights

Bulb Facts, Lab testing on automotive headlight & foglight bulbs, comparison chart before you buy.

www.bulbfacts.com

Set one (Sealight) have lower output than halogen. Not surprising with small heatsink and no fan.
Set two (Alla) have a good review and reasonable price.
Set three claim to be a little brighter than Alla, but no bulbfacts review; and pricier.
Set four is halogen with blue tint on the bulb, which reduces potential brightness.

I would go for the Alla bulbs.

These LEDs are scattering light all over vs in the halogen beam pattern.
I must have bought the wrong type of LED.

I'm still curious what LED bulb you used that had a bad pattern.

Well well..... I actually found it on Amazon

Old LEDs

What would you recommend then?

 

[Circuitsmith]

Those old LEDs clearly don't put the chips in the same position as the halogen filament.
The newer designs are much better.

What would you recommend then?

What kind of LEDs did you get? Are the 2 sided, 3 sided, 4, etc? I had a set of 4 sided for a few years, they were ok, one burned out so I got a pair of 2 sided, one LED chip on each side. Stuck them in and light was all weird. They have a collar on the bulb where it twists into the lamp housing, make sure that you twist the bulb in and then the LED chips are in the right spot, on a 2 sided bulb its a chip on each side, not one on top and one on bottom

Will look into this. I dont remember but they are 2 sided and I was probably an idiot and put in top to bottom.
